Sometimes if you look at history of Euro, there are so many players
who managers, fans and even their teammates have got high expectations
from them but when the time comes, they usually fail to deliver. Here
are some few players which i think will fail or will play below their
par in the Live Euro 2012.
Wayne Rooney
Manchester United and England’s far most prolific striker of all
time, Wayne Rooney has always failed to deliver in major competitions
especially when it comes to World Cup and Euro’s. If you look at past
World Cup and Euro Highlights, you can hardly imagine whether
that
is Rooney playing or is it someone else. England fans had so much
expectations from him in the previous Euro and World Cup but he let
everybody down. As a striker, it is your responsibility to score goals.
As far as i know, Rooney did not score even a single goal in the 2010
World Cup and in the whole Live Euro 2012 Qualifying campaign, he did
not score more than five goals. His tally so far in England colors is
just 28 goals in 73 appearances which is very bad for a striker who is
renowned for his goal scoring form. If he can play so well for
Manchester United, why can he not play the same way for England? Is it
because of the pressure? With already Darren Bent most likely to be out
for the Live Euro 2012, its likely that Rooney will take charge once
again and if he doesn’t performs on the big stage, the England will not
even qualify for the knockout stages.
Cristiano Ronaldo
Real Madrid’s and Portugal’s main man and star of all time, Cristiano
Ronaldo is one of the players who forgets his form when it comes to
play for his National side. With so much media and recognition behind
him, its most likely that Ronaldo will be the main target once again for
the Live Euro 2012 for the media to criticize if
he under-performs again. Ronaldo is great skillful player but sometimes
it
seems
that, he does not blend well with his teammates when he plays with them
and at the end, he turns up to be selfish. With already the coach of
Portugal giving him the captain’s armband, should Ronaldo fail to
deliver again, its going to be all but done and dusted for Portugal
before it starts and there will be no amazing and unbelievable moments
which we will be able to see in the Euro 2012 highlights. Ronaldo has so
far scored 32 goals in 88 appearances for his National side which is
an okay performance based on his standards.
Conclusion
In conclusion, if both Rooney and Ronaldo can come into superb form
for their National sides respectively, its going to be a goal festive
season in Euro 2012 highlights. Let us hope we can see these two world
class players click and produce some amazing and entertaining
performances for their countries in the Live Euro 2012 in
Poland/Ukraine. Because, as for now, England and Portugal need their
world class players to perform if they really want to dream about
winning the Live Euro 2012 trophy and see their names written among the
past legends.
