Ronald

His understanding of the offside rule is possibly the thing that boils my piss the most.
It is literally his job and it is not that difficult- my wife understood it in 5 minutes - and she is a better finisher too (if you know what i mean)

I feel that this is nothing but a meme
When you look up his stats for the season:



Just barely over once every three games that he gets caught offside

Ronald 5 goals 4 asissts in all comps this season from our much maligned winger
The stats for offsides show how a narrative gets exaggerared .

Got better stats than Eom and lots of posters reckon he's a real player.

It really does show how badly a narrative gets distorted
Not to say that Ronald is exempt from criticism, his dribbling and crossing success percentages are abysmal





A crossing success rate of 16% is exceptionally low

Top players globally for succesful dribbles!!

What on earth is a successful dribble?

I thought it was worth asking Chat GPT what is a successful dribble, here is the response

In football (soccer), a successful dribble is when a player with the ball beats an opponent while keeping possession.

I won't bore you with the full answer but the last line made me chuckle (I did embelish it slightly by adding two words, can you guess which words I added?

For example, players like Lionel Messi or Vinícius Júnior and Ronald are known for having very high successful dribble numbers.

I can agree that that number is definitely not taking into context attacking dribbles, going past a player towards your own goal is significantly easier than going past a player while going forward.

The majority of his successful dribbles is definitely the former rather than the latter.
