Cristiano Ronaldo lived a very special week. After the elimination of Juventus against Porto, in the knockout stages of the Champions League, criticism of him followed one after another. That it was the worst purchase in the history of the institution, that he didn't perform according to his talent, that he should leave as soon as possible and many more. But that's not all, since the Turin club also surprised on Saturday by confirming that it put a sale price, much lower than what it paid, devaluing it by 71% (it acquired it from Real Madrid for 100 million dollars and now priced it at $ 29 million). 

But this Sunday, Cristiano Ronaldo was once again the decisive Cristiano Ronaldo: he scored three goals in what was the victory of Vecchia Signora over Genoa, 3-1, in a match valid for the 27th date of Serie A. Yes After the criticism, it was time for the praise for one of the best players of all time.

Cristiano Ronaldo scored goals of all kinds

There were so many of all colors this Sunday as the former Real Madrid converted his head at 9 minutes after a corner kick, he also did it from a penalty, in a shot that the goalkeeper almost covered him but whose power allowed him to hit the ball reaching the net and finally with a sensational action. When the first half was still being played, CR7 received a counterattack on the right, got into the area, faked his marker and when he found the gap he drew a left-footed shot at the far post, impossible for goalkeeper Cragno.

Cristiano Ronaldo responded to his critics

After his hat-trick, Cristiano looked for a camera and when he found it he touched his ear in a clear message to his detractors, who during these days had pointed directly at his figure. Among the most striking criticisms was that of Alessandro Del Piero, which was added to that of Fabio Capello. The coach pointed it out: “The most serious thing was seeing him jumping and turning on the barrier. Whoever is at the barrier cannot be afraid of being hit. It is an unforgivable mistake that has no excuses”. For his part, another historian like Alessio Tacchinardi declared: “You have to apologize to the fans. Signing him was an absolute mistake”.
