2015-16 season
After coach Ancelotti was sacked, Real appointed Rafael Benitez to the hot seat. But Ronaldo did not like the Spaniard.

Once, Benitez sent one of his assistants to meet Ronaldo and brought with him a USB drive with videos and photos that he said CR7 could learn to improve. But Ronaldo responded by refusing to accept the USB drive and reminding his teacher: "Tell Benitez I will send him a USB drive with my goals for him to study." According to El Confidencial (Spain), during the break to make way for a series of international friendly matches, Ronaldo met with manager Florentino Perez. At that meeting, Ronaldo said: "We will not be able to win anything when Benitez is in charge." It is clear that there are conflicts between Benitez and the star pupil from the very first day of working together.
Ronaldo was one of the pillars of the fiercest opposition to the decision to sack coach Carlo Ancelotti. He respects and works well with Ancelotti no different from his former teacher Sir Alex Ferguson. When sitting on the hot seat at the Bernabeu, Benitez even went to the center of Wales to find Gareth Bale to talk privately. The press said that Benitez wanted to build a play around Bale. This action clearly upset Ronaldo, because he is really the main striker of the team. Later, coach Benitez once reluctantly praised Ronaldo as "the best player he ever coached" to correct the mistake. But this action seems to backfire. The only response was Ronaldo's indifference. On the training ground, he always tried to avoid facing his teacher.
In his seventh season at Real Madrid, the 2015-16 season, Ronaldo reached the milestone of becoming the club's all-time top scorer.

This defeat was part of the reason why Benitez was sacked in January 2016 and replaced by Zinédine Zidane.

Portugal were eliminated in the semi-finals after losing 4-2 to Spain in a penalty shootout that Ronaldo did not get a chance to participate because he took responsibility for the fifth leg, when Cesc Fabregas successfully completed the shot. decision for Spain.[177] During his previous regular game, he missed many scoring opportunities, including three shots over the bar.[178] At the end of Euro 2012, he was included in the UEFA technical subcommittee list of the best 23 players in the tournament.
World Cup 2014
After passing the play-off round against Sweden, Portugal is in Group G with Germany, the United States and Ghana. In the opening leg, Portugal lost heavily to Germany 0-4, this match Pepe received a red card in the 37th minute leading to the home team breaking the match. The next round, Portugal also did not play well and was fortunate to get a 2-2 draw against the United States, Ronaldo had 1 assist in this match; In the last match, although Ronaldo scored the first goal in the tournament to help the home team beat Ghana 2-1, with Germany only winning 1-0 against the United States, this result was not enough for Ronaldo and his teammates to be in the knockout round -out due to being inferior to the United States on goal difference.
Euro 2016
Ronaldo was the captain of the Portuguese team during the Euro 2016 season. He had an unimpressive start to the tournament, even being described as "bad". Falling into a rather light group with Iceland, Austria and Hungary, Portugal struggled again. Ronaldo himself also played poorly. After losing the match in the 1-1 draw with Iceland, he missed a penalty kick in the match against Austria, putting the home team in a dangerous position when it had to win the top team Hungary to be sure of the ticket to continue. That was the time when Ronaldo was heavily criticized by public opinion, so much so that he could no longer keep his composure when he snatched the reporter's microphone and threw it into the pond when asked to give an interview. However, in the midst of media pressure, Ronaldo shone when he scored a brace and an assist to help Portugal draw 3-3 with Hungary and go on as the best 3rd place team.
Portugal entered the knockout round with the contempt of most opponents, after what they showed in the group stage. However, Ronaldo and his teammates with pragmatic play and stubbornness and bravery still overcame many obstacles to reach the semi-finals. In the semi-final against Wales, Ronaldo scored a goal to help Portugal win the final 2-0 to reach the final. But in the final against France, Ronaldo had just played for more than 7 minutes when he was fouled by French player Dimitri Payet and had to leave the field from the 25th minute and could not continue playing. But the final result Portugal beat France with a score of 1-0 and won Euro 2016. It can be said that helping Portugal win Euro 2016 is a big mark in CR7's career that he gave up. missed this chance at Euro 2004 in the final Portugal vs Greece.
Confederation Cup 2017
In Portugal's opening match of the 2017 FIFA Confederations Cup against Mexico on 17 June, Cristiano Ronaldo assisted Ricardo Quaresma's opening goal in a 2-2 draw. Three days later, he scored in a 1–0 win over hosts Russia. On 24 June, he scored from a penalty in a 4–0 win over New Zealand, which saw Portugal top the group and progress to the semi-finals of the tournament. With his 75th goal, Ronaldo also surpassed Sándor Kocsis as Europe's second international goalscorer of all time, behind only Ferenc Puskás. He was voted the best player in all three of Portugal's group stage matches. After Ronaldo left the tournament early after Chile beat Portugal 3–0 on penalties in the semi-finals, he was allowed to return home to care for his newborn children. As a result, he missed Portugal's third place match as Portugal beat Mexico 2–1 in extra time.
World Cup 2018
Portugal fell into a fairly easy group in the World Cup in Russia when only meeting a single strong team, Spain, the other two teams being Morocco and Iran. On 15 June 2018, Ronaldo became the oldest player to score a hat-trick at a World Cup when scoring all three goals to help Portugal draw Spain 3-3 in the opening match.. He also became the first Portuguese player to score goal in four different World Cups, and one of only four in history to do so.[180] His third goal of that game was a stunning free-kick from 30 yards with two minutes to go[181] This hat-trick also equalized Ferenc's record Puskás as the European player with the most international goals with 84 goals.[182] In the second match of the group stage, Ronaldo scored the only goal to help Portugal beat Morocco 1-0, and also broke the record of Puskás.[183] In the group stage final match against Iran on June 25, Ronaldo unfortunately missed a penalty, leaving Portugal drawn 1-1 and accepted to finish the group stage in second place behind West Africa. Spain.[184] On June 30, Portugal lost 1-2 to Uruguay in the round of 16 and officially left the World Cup playing field, this was a match where Ronaldo played poorly.
Competition style
As a winger, Ronaldo possesses the qualities usually found in a natural striker. He can finish well with both feet, excelling in dead ball situations such as direct free kicks or penalties and individual handling situations before finishing.[186] He is also capable of headshot marksmanship thanks to his ideal height and physique (1m86).[186] As a result, in recent years he has been played more in the forward line by coaches. Ronaldo is not the type of player to sacrifice for the team, he often plays independently, receiving a lot of support from his teammates. This is evident when Wayne Rooney, Ronaldo's attacking partner at Manchester United, regularly scores in his absence.[186] Three-time Ballon d'Or winner Johan Cruyff commented that:
With his talent, I believe Ronaldo will continue to improve and win many individual and club titles. The only weakness in Ronaldo's way of playing is probably that he has few assists for his teammates
Ronaldo has very good individual technique with quick and skillful feet. As a result, he is often the target of fouls by opposing players.[189][190] However, he only really promoted his ability to handle the ball when there were gaps, and in narrow spaces, he was not appreciated. He has a running speed like a "supercar", his average speed is 33.6 km/h and ranks first in the Top 5 fastest players in world football by the German sports weekly. Der Spige. World record holder in the 100m track, Usain Bolt commented that Ronaldo has many qualities to become an excellent athlete in this subject. Bolt also once likened that:
If Cristiano Ronaldo had done athletics instead of football, he would have run faster than me!
Ronaldo also has a very good physical foundation, as evidenced by the 6 years playing at Manchester United, he played an average of 49 matches per season.[186] Here, he has had two thigh strains, one hip injury, two knee injuries and three ankle sprains, but never has he had to miss more than 15 days. His longest break (2 months) was after ankle surgery in early July 2008. When he moved to Real Madrid, he had only been sick once and had stretched his ankle ligaments,[103] but This did not stop Ronaldo from being out for more than a week. On May 9, 2016, Ronaldo was awarded the title of "Real Madrid's strongest player" by insurance company Satinas based on the number of 48 matches he played in the 2015-16 season. At that time, after 7 seasons with Real Madrid, only the first season Ronaldo played less than 40 matches. That year, he played only 35 matches for the royal team, but also scored 33 goals.
Not a famous player who plays bad, but Ronaldo has been hit with 11 red cards in his career due to his habit of eating and not being able to control himself when provoked and fouled by the opponent.[186][ 190] The number of red cards he must receive may be more than that, if not for the favor of the referees. In the 2015-16 season, there was a time when Ronaldo intentionally hit the opponent's player 5 times in just 3 months, but he was not punished even with a yellow card.
Ronaldo is often criticized for his habit of falling down to earn a penalty. In addition, he has also been criticized by coach Sir Alex Ferguson, teammates and the media as a selfish and somewhat arrogant person.
Ronaldo is also known for his strange free-kick style he invented, he often stands with his feet wide and takes a deep breath before running straight, when approaching the ball, his feet are firmly planted on the ground and keep his body. who is perpendicular to the ball before launching a straight shot as strong as a hammer. Ronaldo's free kicks often reach a speed of 100 km / h plus the flight trajectory is not comfortable at all, making goalkeepers difficult and very effective, as evidenced from the beginning of the career to Now he has 23 goals from the free kick.[195] Barcelona goalkeeper Víctor Valdés once lamented that: "If Ronaldo stands in front of a free kick, you will have to be prepared to face a ball that flies up to 32m / s". But Ronaldo's free kick requires force from very strong legs, so if it's just a little mistake when done, it will cause great danger to him. Former Manchester City manager Mark Hughes warned him: "The technique in Ronaldo's free-kick is different from anyone I've seen before. It always causes problems for goalkeepers. "[196]. In the friendly match against Bournemouth Club, Ronaldo's powerful 35m free kick broke the wrist of Charlie Silverwood (11 years old) who was present behind the goal.
However, when Ronaldo has turned 30 and his form cannot go up anymore, it will start to decline. In the 2014-15 season, Ronaldo scored 61 goals in all competitions, the best achievement of his career to date. Behind Ronaldo's brilliant achievement is a change in playing style, which shows that he is entering the slopes of his career. Opta's statistics show that of the 48 goals Ronaldo scored in La Liga in the 2014-2015 season, 41 goals (85%) were achieved with one-touch shots, 43 goals (90%) were made within 16m50. This shows that Ronaldo has gradually changed his style from a winger to a true striker. Ronaldo rarely performs situations of sloping balls and dribbling, but mainly lurks within 16m50 to match his current fitness. The impact of age makes Cristiano Ronaldo no longer have sprints at a distance of 30 meters or phases over the opponent's defender with speed. However, the Portuguese striker sees it as an opportunity to change himself. Ronaldo's goals since 2015 have mostly been from inside the box, and many of them have come from one-touch shots. It can be seen that CR7 is trying to perfect the finishing skill to become a penalty area killer. His image is reminiscent of Real legend Hugo Sanchez - who scored all his goals with a one-touch shot in the 1988-1989 season. At CR7's age, former legends like Ronaldo and Zinedine Zidane are all about to retire. However, with the changes in playing style, the Portuguese superstar is showing his desire to continue to contribute in the top football environment and commit to the club.
In June 2016, in an interview with AS, Ronaldo expressed his desire to play for Real until the age of 40.
In short, Cristiano Ronaldo is a complete striker. He shoots well with both feet, good air combat, good speed, good passing, good free kick and penalty, good physical foundation, extraordinary jumping ability, leadership and special qualities. is the ability to shine when his team is in trouble.
Some comments about Ronaldo
“Ronaldo has great speed and is so skillful that it is impossible for any opponent to predict what he wants and will do. The special thing about Ronaldo is that he has equal weight on both feet when standing in front of the target. Very few players have this quality.”— tụMarcel Desailly
“Ronaldo has the technique, talent, speed and creativity that everyone loves. In addition, he has a desire to shine and always learns very quickly. In the world, I don't think there are many more excellent people to enjoy.[198]”— Bobby Charlton
“In the past, I didn't like Ronaldo because I thought he was just "playing" with the ball without the necessary efficiency. But now, when Ronaldo scores such an impressive goal, it is clear that I was wrong.[188]”—oMarcello Lippi
“In my opinion, he is better than George Best and Denis Law, two of the best and greatest players in United history.[188]”— Johan Cruyff
“The way Cristiano plays is enough to say that he will eventually become the greatest player in the history of the club.”— Denis Law

In October 2009, Ronaldo was invited to be the ambassador for Castrol lubricants globally. Explaining the reason for accepting the invitation to be this brand ambassador, he said: "I like them because they have the same passion to win and always strive with the highest performance as I do on the pitch." After that, he continued to sign an advertising contract with the sports beverage manufacturer Soccerade.
In February 2010, Ronaldo signed a contract worth 24 million euros for a period of 4 years (until 2014) with Nike. Before that, he had a sponsorship contract with Nike worth €4 million per season, but before competition from Germany's Adidas, they raised their sponsorship level for him to 6 million. €. Also in 2010, he followed in the footsteps of David Beckham and signed an advertising contract with lingerie brand Armani. As the first time he advertised for this lingerie brand, he confided: "I am very proud to be invited to advertise for Armani. Giorgio Armani is a legend in the fashion industry, and I am a fan of Armani. He's been around for a long time." In addition, he also cooperates with Clear shampoo and copier maker Fuji-Xerox.
