Leave Ronaldo Alone!

Hi,

English football fans and commentators will never cease to amaze me. Up till this moment, I've not seen a good reson why he's the most hated figure in English football.

First, he was accused of accused of plotting to send Wayne Rooney off at the world cup. Meaningless as that may sound, fans all over England still singled him out as the reason why England crashed out at the quater finals last summer.

Then the issue of diving. Is Christiano Ronaldo the only one that has won disputed penalties in England this season? The answer is obvious. I heard former premiership referee Jef Winter maon about him earlier today. The outpour of hatred is staggering.

My simple verdict is "Hands off Ronaldo". The premiership is exciting because of talented footballers like Christiano Ronaldo. If we force him out, the premiership will not be better for it anyway. He'll surely move on to great things in his career.

Those boos and jeers are not affecting him. Can we just appreciate a world class talent?
