Cristiano Ronaldo Dos Santos Aveiro is arguably one of the best player to every step foot on a football field and is one of, if not the best player to ever put on the number 7 jersey. He’s won numerous trophies for every team he has played for, and whenever he leaves, he leaves a big hole in the team.
Real Madrid has promised Eden Hazard the number 7 jersey, but there’s been rumors which suggest Hazard might flop at Madrid. Why? you ask.
You see any player that’s try to replace Ronaldo and also wearing the number 7 jersey has all failed, leaving rumors that Ronaldo curses anyone who wears the number 7 jersey for any teams he plays for.
Ronaldo left Manchester United in 2009 and ever since then United has been looking for a replacement for him, all who wore the iconic number 7 had all flopped.
• Micheal Owen, 31 appearances, 5 goals
• Antonio Valencia, 30 appearances, 1 goal
• Angel Di Maria, 27 appearances, 3 goals
• Memphis Depay, 33 appearances, 2 goals
• Alexis Sanchez, 32 appearances, 3 goals
And Manchester United still hasn’t been able to replace him since then.
Ronaldo left Madrid for Turin in the summer of 2018, when he left, Mariano Diaz and Vinicius Junior were brought in to replace the big man, with Mariano given the number 7 and both have failed to replace him, with both racking up just 5 goals.
It’s Hazard time to put on the iconic Number 7 jersey for Real Madrid, will this move to Madrid and having the 7 on his jersey be detrimental to his career and could he flop at Madrid because of the “Ronaldo No.7 Curse”?
Hazard who is known to be a good playmaker who create chances well and score goals even though he doesn’t score much, can fare much better than Mariano and Junior but can never replace the great Cristiano Ronaldo Dos Santos Aveiro.
But, will he flop like the rest of Ronaldo’s replacement, carrying on the curse or actually have a good performance for Real, thereby breaking the curse? To know this, we’ll have to wait.
Good job guys
