🌟⚽ Ronaldo’s Fragile Ego: Kinda Sad Fo’ One Guy Wit’ So Much Wins ⚽🌟
⬇️ Pidgin | ⬇️ ⬇️ English
So, get dis clip going around on top social media aftah da Carabao Cup final last weekend. We no goin’ share um here cause da knuckleheads behind um no need any more eyes on dem, but basically had some guys dey say suppose to be Liverpool fans, filming da Chelsea players all bus up from losing as dey going collect their second-place medals and throwing all kine lame jokes their way.
Dey went make “sssss” sounds at Raheem Sterling, calling him ‘da snake’ cause he wen leave their team almost ten years ago. Dey even had da nerve fo’ ask ’bout Moises Caicedo’s mom, like dat had something fo’ do with why he choose Chelsea ova Liverpool. Jus’ shows you, grown adults acting all nuts. 🐍😑
Da players, dough, dey neva even bat one eye, which, when you tink about it, pretty amazing. Considering da kine stuffs being said and family getting dragged into um, you’d half expect dem fo’ go full Cantona on ’em. But maybe not so surprising: as one footballer, you gotta learn how fo’ tune out dat kine noise, or if you hear um, just let um pass through one ear and out da oddah. No good going come from reacting, yeah? You look small kine petty, and you jus’ end up giving da bullies wat dey want. 😤🙉
Which brings us to Cristiano Ronaldo, who wen actually react to da crowd’s kine teasing and now gotta deal wit’ da consequences.
Ronaldo got slapped with one one-game ban by da Saudi Pro League and gotta pay fines and fees totaling 30,000 Saudi riyals (das like £6,332 or $8,000), all for making what dey call an ‘obscene gesture’ at fans during his Al Nassr side’s recent 3-2 win ova Al Shabab. Dis all wen start cause da crowd was chanting “Messi, Messi,” something Ronaldo been dealing with most his career. Ronaldo wen do dis kine ear cup thing then squat small kine and make some odd hand gesture: if you was trying fo’ be innocent, maybe look like he was polishing one tabletop, but, uh, you know. 😬👋
Dis whole ting make you tink, yeah? Different from Sterling and Caicedo, look like no take much fo’ get one rise outta Ronaldo, one of da most famous guys out there who should be used to getting yelled at by randoms.
Him and Messi been in dis never-ending tangle fo’ like 15 years, always getting compared. So, you can see how dat gets old real quick, especially since dey no even been in da same league since 2018 and no been on da same pitch for one competitive game since 2020. Now, neither of dem playing in Europe, and most of their big wins stay in da past. Da whole Messi-Ronaldo rivalry? Not really a ting no more, at least not fo’ da rest of us.
But fo’ Ronaldo, seems like still get dis small kine bug inside him dat can’t let go. Why else would he even bother reacting to just da mention of Messi’s name?
Da two situations no exactly da same, and maybe we only talking about dem together cause dey both happened around da same time, but funny how Sterling and Caicedo could ignore way more personal attacks, while jus’ hearing anoddah guy’s name was enough fo’ spark something in Ronaldo.
Dis not da first time, too. Jus’ last November, Ronaldo wen “shush” da crowd during one Al Nassr game against Al Ettifaq when dey started wit’ da “Messi, Messi” chant again. In da big picture, dis all small kine stuff, but it does make you wonder ’bout how fragile one guy’s ego gotta be dat just da mention of one rival’s name not only registers but also triggers a reaction dat gets you benched.
Not sure dis what da Saudi Pro League had in mind either. Ronaldo was supposed to be their star attraction, and yeah, he been scoring goals and drawing attention, but getting suspended like dis? Not exactly part of da plan.
Mix in Jordan Henderson cutting his stay short and da ongoing drama around Karim Benzema, and it’s been one mixed bag since da league started throwing money around.
For Ronaldo, hard fo’ say exactly why dis feels so down, but might be cause it’s all kinda undignified, yeah? Even though he one next-level athlete with not much time left playing, kinda sad dis how he spending his last days on da field.
Playing in one league not
quite up to snuff — which, no matter how much he say otherwise, wasn’t da plan — still caught up wit’ da ghost of da guy he’s been measured against his whole career, but who hasn’t really been a factor for almost half dat time. Coulda been different, yeah?
Maybe dis da price of being super driven, like Ronaldo. Nothing less than being seen as da best is enough, so even da mention of da one guy who could challenge him for dat title, in his generation at least, is enough fo’ set him off.
He goin’ dry his eyes wit’ his massive wealth and incredible achievements, but you get da feeling he might neva truly be satisfied when he finally hangs up his boots.
Fo’ someone wit’ as much success as him, da whole ting kinda bleak, yeah?

🌟⚽ Ronaldo’s Fragile Ego: A Tinge of Sadness for a Legend ⚽🌟
Here’s a thing that went viral on social media after the Carabao Cup final last weekend. We’re not going to share it here because the folks responsible don’t need any more attention, but it basically involved some so-called Liverpool fans by the steps up to the Wembley Royal Box, filming the defeated Chelsea players as they went to collect their runners-up medals and throwing mindless taunts at them.
They jeered at ‘the snake’ Raheem Sterling, who left their club almost a decade ago. They also made inappropriate comments about Moises Caicedo’s mother, as if her existence played a part in his decision to move to Stamford Bridge rather than Anfield. Absolutely normal behavior from grown adults, right? 🐍😑
None of the players even seemed to notice, which is pretty incredible given the circumstances and the fact that family members were brought into it. You’d understand if they lost their cool.
But perhaps it’s not so surprising: as a footballer, you likely develop a kind of shield, a bubble that keeps out the noise, or if you do hear it, it just fades into oblivion in your mind. Reacting only shows pettiness and, as the old saying goes, “Don’t feed the trolls.” It gives them more satisfaction than they deserve. 😤🙉
Which leads us to Cristiano Ronaldo, who did respond to taunts from the crowd and has now faced consequences for it.
Ronaldo has received a one-game ban from the Saudi Pro League and fines amounting to 30,000 Saudi riyals (£6,332; $8,000) for making what’s been described as an ‘obscene gesture’ towards fans during his Al Nassr team’s recent 3-2 victory over Al Shabab. This was seemingly in reaction to the familiar “Messi, Messi” chants from the stands. Ronaldo gestured as if he was polishing a tabletop, but with a less innocent interpretation also possible. 😬👋
This incident brings to light several points. Unlike Sterling and Caicedo, it appears it doesn’t take much to provoke a reaction from Ronaldo, one of the most recognizable figures worldwide, who is presumably accustomed to crowd jeers.
He and Messi have been locked in a seemingly endless rivalry for about 15 years, constantly compared and contrasted. Understandably, this could become tiresome, especially since they haven’t played in the same league since 2018 or faced each other in a competitive match since 2020. Neither plays in Europe now, and their most notable achievements are likely behind them. The Messi-Ronaldo rivalry doesn’t hold the same relevance it once did to the wider world.
Yet, it seems to linger for Ronaldo, like a thorn in his side, prompting the question: why would the mere mention of Messi’s name elicit such a response?
The situations with Sterling, Caicedo, and Ronaldo may differ, highlighted together here because they occurred around the same time, but it’s interesting how Sterling and Caicedo could ignore far more personal attacks, while a mere mention of another player’s name was enough to disturb Ronaldo.
This is far from Ronaldo’s first reaction to such chants. Just last November, he shushed a crowd during an Al Nassr game against Al Ettifaq when faced with the same “Messi, Messi” chant. In the grand scheme, these incidents might seem minor, but they hint at the vulnerability of Ronaldo’s ego, sensitive enough that a rival player’s name not only registers but provokes a tangible response, leading to suspension.
This scenario is likely not what the Saudi Pro League envisioned, especially not for their star signing, Ronaldo, who, despite scoring plenty of goals and generating interest, was not expected to be sidelined in such a manner.
Mixed results have followed the league’s investment spree, including Jordan Henderson’s early departure and ongoing drama around Karim Benzema.
For Ronaldo, pinpointing the exact cause of this melancholy is challenging, but perhaps it lies in the indignity of it all. Despite being a phenomenal athlete with limited playing days ahead, it’s somewhat sorrowful that this phase of his career unfolds in this manner.
Playing in a league that doesn’t match European standards — contrary to what he might claim — still shadowed by Messi, who hasn’t been a direct competitor for years, could have been different.
Maybe this reflects the internal struggle of someone as ambitiously driven as Ronaldo. Nothing short of being the absolute best suffices, so even hearing the name of the one person who might contest that title is enough to trigger him.
He might console himself with his wealth and extraordinary achievements, but it leaves an impression that he may never find contentment when reflecting on his career.
For a sportsman of Ronaldo’s caliber, achieving so much yet feeling so affected by rivalry mentions, the situation is indeed quite bleak.
