Still remember watching this as a 14 year old. Sitting on the edge of my seat in excitement for what was to come. Thank you for the wonderful football Cristiano.
@@kolhapure we have same experience, in same age i cant wait for any utd games esp to watch Ronnie played. Back then even the controversies/buzz around him just exciting. Remember so dissapointed after last UCL final. Then completely devastated after he went into madrid, though i loved him there too. Now after all these years, though he isnt the same player like bfr, i cant help but feel happy and optimistic ahead. He's in United was the reason why i (and i bet many are too) love football. Hope UTD can win some title again with him.
It is his first match in internatinal debut not the first match in his life he was playing since 12 years of age he played his international debut for manchester united at the age of 18
I will NEVER forget it. Kids today had no idea who Cristianow was, and the level of genius he had. It was such an iconic performance, this is literally what George Best said about this match: 'It was undoubtedly the most exciting debut performance I’ve ever seen. There have been a few players described as ‘The New George Best’ over the years, but this is the first time it’s been a compliment to me. There have been players who have some similarities, but this lad’s got more than anyone else, especially as he is genuinely two-footed. He can play on either wing, beat players with ease, and put in dangerous crosses with his left or right peg. When was the last time you saw that? With Ronaldo and Giggsy on the pitch at the same time, opposition defenders will be petrified! Another thing I liked about Ronaldo against Bolton was how he dealt with the physical side. As soon as he came on, he was clattered from behind but he just got up and got on with the game, it didn’t faze him at all. That’s the right attitude. I used to relish it when defenders were trying to kick me up in the air - it only made me more determined to take the p*ss out of them!' - end of the quote. And nowadays it pisses me off how many people repeat like a broken record the lie that Cristiano is just hard work, while Messi is only talent. This is nonsense. To climb to the absolute top of the elite level, world-class football, and do all that Cristiano did in this sport, you always need these two things: hard work plus talent. There are many players who work hard every single day but they will never be Cristiano because they don't have talent, and at the same time there are those who have all the talent but are lazy, and they won't be Cristiano either. Cristiano had it all, plus he was insanely handsome and with the level of charisma I've never seen before or since. Especially his 2006-2009 era was smth else. Forget Messi, Maradona, or Beckham, no one of them had a full package like Cristiano did back then: talent, work ethic, ambition, crazy mentality, media potential, looks, and popularity. Cristiano had it all at once, while Beckham, Maradona, or Messi - each one of them had just a few of these things, but never all of it, like Cristiano. This is why it's important to remember Best's quote because so much crap is talked about Cristiano nowadays by foolish kids who weren't even born when Cristiano was already a star, and they have no idea about football. It takes one to know one, Best, in this one quote, described all that Cristiano was and had: his immense talent, his amazing physicality, his ambition, his fighting spirit, and his football abilities. Cristiano through the years was a genius winger, midfielder, striker, he absolutely dribbled great when he was younger, he did insane runs on the wing, had a brilliant cross, was brilliant at freekicks, and he did it all with two legs!! Cristiano maybe the first player ever who doesn't have a 'weaker leg', if you look up his numbers! Haaland and Mbappe are great for the modern era, but this is why all they do is just run and score - becasue the modern game is all about athleticism and results. Cristiano had all of that and more and played joga bonito, he was a showman with countless tricks in his arsenal. You won't see Haaland or Mbappe doing it at all. Vinicius or Bellingham are also amazing, but again: they don't have it all, like Cristiano did. From an even bigger perspective of time, people will see even clearer than today, that Cristiano, just like Messi, was and is, a completely unique player, one that comes once in a lifetime.
He was one of the fastest players on the football field at the time, it’s crazy how he kept it up. A true legend you’ll never see him again fucking crazy I tel you a gift from god even aha
Ronaldo was pretty shit his first years at Man U, Haaland and Mbappe are carrying their teams, Ronaldo was so annoying Ruud van Nistelrooy famously stormed off a training because Ronaldo was so unreliable. Luckily he matured and became the monster he has been for 15 years now.
@@1998Cebola and haaland is just a striker and not on that level. He is modern day cr7 who needs playmakers to feed him but he get the ball into the net for sure
@@1998Cebola Thats true but if we talk about potential at the same age, everyone has to admit that ronaldo was on a different level in comparison to Haaland.
The Finest !! And that's from a LEEDS fan. Just adore watching him in any jersey. Off the pitch he is a legend also. Never forgets his roots and is so charitable.
This player looks promising.. I think he'll be a great footballer in 10 years Probably he'll win at least 5 ballon d'ors.. And 5 UCLs.. Anything less than that will mean he hasn't stood up to his potential
This match marked the birth of a GOAT, imagine at that time he was an 18 year old young man who carried the legendary number 7 and became the first Portuguese player at United, his debut really showed he was an extraordinary figure, he played under pressure from the fans, he playing with a sacred number at united, he also plays under pressure carrying the name of his country🐐
@@netøø__94 ali daei picked goals up mostly against teams that where ranked 150 to 200, as for ronaldo most of his goals came from teams 1 to 50 ranked in the world, just awesome
These UA-cam thing is like a time machine. Amazing how we can go back and see what connoisseurs in their fields were like when they were just getting started.
Saw this LIVE after missing his preseason game with Sporting. Objectively speaking this was one of the best ever debuts for a young player. So much pressure following Beckham, thrown in at the deep end in the English game. Balls of steel.
Agreed. They tried repeatedly to knock him around. He knew he had the talent to turn those defenders inside out and got A legit PK after dropping the defenders jock as he went by him.
The little boy from Madeira who became the emperor of Madrid ! What a glorious journey it has been so far. Tears in my eyes seeing this video. Cristiano Ronaldo, written in the stars !
Nowadays he no longer runs, but just hops when he does his traditional celebration after scoring a goal. He's really saving up as many steps as he can. He's very cautious with the energy he spends on each game.
This guy is very good as a winger. But I have a feeling he would be a monster as a striker, he would score a lot of goals, win a lot of titles, signed by Real, score a lot of goals, win a lot of titles, break a lot of records, and maybe one day return to United, score a brace on his first game back home. I don't know, just a feeling I have.
Are you kidding me, its Cristiano Ronaldo and he has won 5 Ballon d'Ors. He is a legend and this match was like 18 years ago back in 2003 when he first joined Manchester United. What kind of question is that.
I have seen many youtubers when they upload the video but they didn't get views and they leave channel,i saw first UA-cam channel after uploading 1 video 3 years ago and didn't upload any video but he still giving like to comment hats of claps for this channel🤗
