A condição com que Cristiano Ronaldo foi diagnosticado em 2014, que não tem cura e piora ao longo do tempo
Cristiano Ronaldo tem jogado com uma lesão séria no joelho que “não tem cura” desde o ano de 2014, de acordo com uma thread do Twitter que tem dado muito que falar. Cristiano mudou-se para a Juventus no ano de 2018 depois de 9 anos no Real Madrid, onde ganhou diversos títulos da La Liga e Ligas dos Campeões.
No entanto, a conta de Twitter @laligafrauds veio dizer a público que o jogador de 35 anos tem jogado com uma condição no joelho intitulada tendinose desde 2014, condição essa que não tem cura.
AWAITED THREAD
In early 2014, Cristiano Ronaldo was diagnosed with a chronic knee condition called tendinosis. It's a heavy injury that has no cure and gets worse over time. pic.twitter.com/41sZaoTKRx

Cristiano começou a aparecer e a brilhar como extremo mas tem jogado mais no centro do terreno nos últimos anos, sendo que o seu problema crónico no joelho pode ser a principal razão.
Tendinosis produces pain, stiffness and swelling in a tendon. However, it usually develops gradually as a result of long-term overuse—after many microtears over a long period of time. pic.twitter.com/akl05azonH

A lesão é descrita como uma “degeneração” em vez de uma “inflamação”, o que significa que a condição do joelho do internacional português vai piorar cada vez que ele o utilizar.
Its not inflammation, it's degeneration. There is a thing called 'collagen' which rebuilds your fibers after overusing them…Tendinosis weakens your collagen EVERYTIME you use your knee. ?
This means your knee cannot fully recover after exercise.

His knee is LITERALLY degenerating every time he runs. He cannot stop or reverse the process. The best he can do is slow it down. ? pic.twitter.com/EsciynEH74

Isto coloca em perspectiva o quanto Cristiano trabalhou durante os últimos 6 anos, dado o sucesso que alcançou.
Desde 2014, Ronaldo ganhou quatro Ligas dos Campeões e duas La Ligas com o Real Madrid, bem como um título da Serie A com a Juventus. Ele também ganhou o Europeu de 2016 por Portugal, bem como a Liga das Nações no ano de 2019.
Individualmente, ganhou a Bola de Ouro em 2014, 2016 e 2017. A thread em questão aborda depois a sua rivalidade com Leo Messi, mostrando depois algumas estatísticas…
Ronaldo spent 6 hours a day working on his knee. These six hours aren't even part of his other physical exercises, or football practice.
JUST HIS KNEE. 6 HOURS A DAY. ??
WHAT KIND OF MENTALITY MUST YOU HAVE TO GO THROUGH WITH THIS??? I WOULD RATHER END MY CAREER. pic.twitter.com/uXAvSjo1vn

Best solution to the injury? (No cure yet)
It is reccommended to rest the knee for 8 months to completely heal this injury (and even then its not 100%, but maybe 95% healed).
Rafa Nadal had tendinosis and was forced to stay eight months out of tennis. ? pic.twitter.com/YMX9ygXGz2

As you can see, he used to score more free kicks, longshots and solo goals. ?
In 14/15 all of those stats declined but his header goals increased MASSIVELY.
This is proof that he started focusing on his heading ability because his dribbling is AWFUL. ONLY 2 DRIBBLE GOALS. ?

⚠️⚠️⚠️ IMPORTANT
To those who think "age" affected Ronaldo EVEN after reading this thread…
This is Messi at the same age as Ronaldo (29). BEFORE v AFTER.
Why didn't Messi's stats decline as he got old? He kept improving actually, so Ronaldo would have as well. pic.twitter.com/Vq4O3xHCTF

⚠️⚠️⚠️IMPORTANT
This is Ronaldo BEFORE v AFTER knee injury:
You see the difference? Both same age, but Ronaldo declined while Messi improved. The difference is not age, its the injury. pic.twitter.com/HZDM2dnDBx
