This is awesome.
There’s so many players that honestly wouldn’t surprise me if I see them having 60 on a given night. Nearly one in every team.
Trae Young, Tatum, Giannis, Embiid, Mitchell, Steph, Dame, Giannis, Booker, KD, Luka, Kyrie, Ja Morant could all get there.
Anyways, as a surprising pick I’d go to Jalen Green or Jalen Brunson.
Something interesting that I’m only noticing now.
Even dating back a couple years when Ronaldo was still at Real M, I remember thinking that some of his finishings of chances like this one were ‘unimpressive’. What I mean by unimpressive is that shots looked a bit dull and while going in, they weren’t really ‘beautiful’.
What I realise now is that it is by design. Ronaldo understands that the most important part of converting this opportunity into a goal scoring threat is to:
And to do these two things, you gotta sacrifice a bit of the element of turning it into a beautiful volley that lands under the bar. What you get in return is scoring nearly everyone of these chances.
This is probably quite obvious for a lot of fans, but I’m just figuring it out now and am happy to do it cuz it will change my approach to shooting in real football too. Thanks Ronnie, you shameless bastard.
