sad

Not really, he is our key player, he just had problems with scoring. And he hit bar four times recently, so he had a lot of bad luck.

Pretty much this. And he's been unlucky with hitting the post several times.

The loss of Acceleration and Explosiveness is mind boggling, it should not happen at this age at all, its either the training or the injuries he had.

A slight dip in acceleration isn't exactly mind boggling, most players don't have this many minutes played by the time they reach 27.

Cristiano Ronaldo has 120 more matches, thats around 11.000 minutes or 183 hours more playing time. Yet there is no physical decline noticable yet.

To be fair, Ronaldo is no ordinary human being. He has been blessed with superior genetics, and if you combine that with his relentless work ethic (both in the gym and on the pitch) you get a player that can sustain top level into his 30s.

I don't know if you have noticed but Ronaldo is a physical machine. His sporting lifespan at the top will be much longer. A lot of players lose a bit of acceleration earlier in their careers, sometimes this is down to injury too.

Anyway big deal if he lost a bit of acceleration, his acceleration is still up there with the best. He still glides past players with ease.
