Incontestável conquista. Mas vamos falar sério: apesar de eu concodar com o ponto do seu post sobre talento, tenho que discordar do exemplo dado. Ronaldo, completamente fora de forma, está atrapalhando este time. Acompanhei alguns jogos do Timão na Copa do Brasil e não vi uma atuação digna sequer de um bom atacante, que dirá de um craque fora de série. Ironicamente, a melhor partida que eu vi do Corinthians foi quando ele estava fora e o Souza entou em seu lugar.

Ontem ele nao jogou nada, e perdeu um gol feito (apesar do belo toque no segundo gol) mas no geral acho que o Ronaldo fez uma diferenca grande no time. Especialmente nas finais do paulista e copa do brasil. A atencao que ele chama da chance de jogadores como JH e outros terem um pouco mais de espaco. as vezes isso faz toda diferenca.

The guy (Ronaldo) is good, very good. Hence since he can pass and drible so well defenders cover him, usually one is not enough and that in itself makes a difference.
Obviously there is always a coach that will strategize one defender against Ronaldo because he is out of shape and so forth, the problem is that the guy has so much talent ( he is ambidextrous and his drible has not suffered from age) that he will undo the sole defender and score ( notice his goal againt Santos in the Paulista final) or create an opportunity for a team mate.
Claudio says that when Ronaldo plays Corinthians seems to lag as if they have only one man in front, he is right because when Ronaldo does play he is really the only man in front but unless you stick two competent guys on him Ronaldo will create opportunities for two midfielders or one frontman a bit behind (small tooth= Dentinho) and a midfielder ( the play can be created by Ronaldo thru a pass either from right or left ) and allow them to score or pass amongst themselves and score.
That is the genius.
