The veteran Football observers - players, coaches & media people - all swear that the level of a player has most to do with his state of mind, his "spirits" or his psychological level at the given time.
Months back, Cristiano Ronaldo commented that he was "sad", that he did not feel wanted by the fans or appreciated by his Club. This may be true, what is a fact is that Real Madrid suffered along with CR7 as their collective game took a dive.
However, the last weeks we are witnessing a mature, responsible & collectively focused player who has run into form in a marvellous & outstanding fashion. Already 21 goals this season & a hat-trick last game in Liga, with a double the second last. The Portuguese is now basically single handedly pulling the "Real Madrid" wagon & taking on leadership capabilities in the absence of Iker Casillas, Ramos & Pepe. In fact the upcoming Spanish Cup semi final this Wednesday against Barça will most likely see Cristiano Ronaldo as team Captain again, & the man is already sending signals that Real Madrid can do the job independently of the absences of those already mentioned along with Coentrao & Di Maria.
Real Madrid is delighted with this mature version of CR7. According to Spanish paper "El Mundo" the Club is expected to put a renewal offer to Cristiano Ronaldo coinciding with his 28th birthday the 5th of February. It is speculated that the Club will offer around 15M€ per season apart from extending his years at the Club. Real Madrid wishes to reinforce CR7 as the masthead of the Real Madrid ship, the spearhead, their star player & their global reference.
Seems the player has picked up on these positive vibes with the psychological boost. The tender loving care from his Clubs & fans has lifted his playing level to maximum. The man is peaking again, 15 million reasons to fly, score & blow kisses.
