Ronaldo is wrong about a lot – but he’s right about the modern-day generation
Cristiano Ronaldo did not say anything we have not heard before when he complained about young footballers not caring or working hard enough.
What it revealed is that one of the best players of all time feels increasingly out of touch with the world he works in.
It is a familiar complaint from one generation to the next – the argument that the young have things better and easier, are rewarded more and suffer less, than the old.
Ronaldo has not looked like a bitter old pro in his interview with Piers Morgan on TalkTV, he just sounds like one.
