A devastating finisher.“What it’s down to is not just talent, he aligns that with sheer dedication and hard work and that’s how you get your rewards.” Ferdinand claimed prior to the Atletico contest that Ronaldo will only be fully appreciated once he hangs up his boots. He has faced criticism at times again this season but has silenced those doubters with his remarkable efforts on the field and dedication to continuous improvement off it.“When he retires we’ll really understand what this guy has done for football,” said former England international Ferdinand. “He’s got that experience now. He knows what he needs to do in the big games and have that cutting edge and make the difference. He does it with his eyes closed. “You can see this guy is relentless. I spoke to him in midweek, 'what is it that actually makes you who you are?'“'Hard work and determination' is all he said.And it’s true, it’s the basics that got him where he is and then it’s the talent that separates him.” As the records continue to tumble around Ronaldo, he is now just one goal short of reaching another notable landmark, with a 400th effort for Madrid set to be recorded in the not too distant future.</blockquote>
