My dad says the same
didn't manage his body well
and injuries took its toll.
Ronaldo and Messi playing at a solid level for this long is not appreciated enough.
He was a complete player in everything, speed, dribble, technique, control, versatile on both feet, head, finishing, everything
I think his mistake was going in Italy at the time of the "catenaccio" ith everyone aiming at putting him down due to his dangerosity and technique and it's where his injury struggle started and despite this he won 2 world cups, went into the final in the third one, won 2 ballon d'or and so on
