Ronaldo is not the best goal maker in Serie A

Cristiano Ronaldo is ranked eighth in the list of the best strikers to finish Serie A in 2020. The performance goes down is natural. Anyone who plays football and understands football also understands that wanting the opportunity to hit the ball is not easy.

Sky Sports statistics for players who score 10 or more goals show that Cristiano Ronaldo needs an average of 5.4 shots to have a goal in Serie A last year. In total, the Portuguese striker finished 180 times and brought Juventus 33 goals.

This season, Ronaldo scored 16 goals in 14 games in all competitions. Particularly in Serie A, the 35-year-old star scored 12 goals in 10 matches, leading the scorer list. He had to take two weeks off because of cocv infection earlier in the season. Since coming to Serie A in the summer of 2018, Ronaldo has scored 64 goals in 74 games.

The most effective goalscorer in Serie A last year was Francesco Caputo of Sassuolo. The 33-year-old striker has 19 goals after only 62 shots, an average of every 3.2 shots scored. Caputo scored six goals in nine Serie A games this season, giving Sassuolo fourth before the Christmas break.

Romelu Lukaku needs an average of 3.7 shots to get a goal. The Belgian striker scored 22 goals in 2020. Lukaku is right behind Ronaldo in the list of top scorer, with 11 goals.

Last season’s top scorer, Ciro Immobile took four shots per goal. After scoring 36 goals last season, the 30-year-old striker remains in good form this season. He scored nine times for Lazio after 12 games.

Ibrahimovic is the least player of the top Serie A strikers. Since the beginning of the season, the Swedish striker has only played six games, but has scored 10 goals. Ibrahimovic ranks seventh on this list, taking five shots on average to score a goal. The 39-year-old star has retired twice since the start of the season, due to infection and injury.

After a 10-day break, Serie A will return on January 3 with a series of 15 rounds.

Sadio Mane: The Liverpool Striker With A Golden Heart (part 2)

In Liverpool, Mane has reached a new level in his career. He created a dangerous trident in attack with Mohammed Salah and Roberto Firmino, helping the team for two consecutive years in the Champions League final and once champion. In the English Premier League in the 2018-19 season, Mane was the top scorer with Aubameyang and Salah with 22 goals each. The impressive achievement helped Mane to fourth in the European Golden Ball poll and fifth in FIFA’s The Best 2019 list.

By early 2020, Mane was honored with the best player in Africa. Until the ball stopped rolling due to the Covid-19 epidemic, Mane and his teammates were alone on their way to the first Premier League title. All of those achievements came under Klopp. But the German coach must also admit he had a bad impression when he first met that student.

After witnessing Mane’s performance directly against Liverpool, Klopp was completely convinced. Liverpool led Southampton 2-0 at half-time, before Mane came in and scored twice to reverse the situation. In the summer of 2016, Mane docked at Anfield for a fee of £ 34 million.

Contrary to the rapper-like appearance that Klopp described, Mane is not in the real life of a millionaire playing football. In 2018, he went to the mosque in Liverpool a few hours after the victory over Leicester to help clean the toilet. Sadio took the initiative to ask the staff at the cathedral not to send videos of him out, because he didn’t want to make pictures and not someone who wanted to please the fans. Sadio has a Bentley, but usually gets there in a normal car.

Mane’s hometown is where the World Bank estimates that up to 70% of households live in poverty. His father had died because there was no hospital to treat him, while his younger sister had to be born at home. That’s why Mane recently built a hospital in his home town. When Covid-19 broke out across the globe, Mane quickly sent £ 40,000 to the Senegalese government in support of the epidemic.

A poor past is the driving force for Sadio Mane to rise up in the football industry, and to return to his native Senegal with a heart of philanthropy.

The newly released documentary Made in Senegal reveals many hidden corners of Mane’s miserable childhood. From a kid who gets a bitter grapefruit to one of the best-winged strikers on the planet is a long journey. The first shock came when Mane was seven years old when his father died of illness. He once told himself that he must do his best to help his mother. It is not an easy responsibility when he is too young.

The Mane family are religious people in Bambali and want their son to become a teacher instead of pursuing a football career. Meanwhile, football is Mane’s dream to change his life. But it was not an easy decision, especially when nobody around him supported him. At one point Mane thought he was wasting his time because success in football was only in his imagination.

At the age of 15, Mane decided to leave home. After querying for information from his best friend, his parents called to take Mane home. But he was still determined and was finally allowed to try football at the end of the school year.

When the time came, Mane was one of the most out of 300 young players who tried their luck. He wore a pair of pants that looked unrelated to football pants and wore a pair of torn shoes. However, during the mock match at Generation Foot Academy, Dakar, Mane shone and scored four goals. Thanks to the guidance of the founder of the academy Mady Toure, Mane has improved. In 2011, he was recruited by the French Metz Club and started his European adventure.

After a shining summer at the 2012 Olympic Games and helping recruit Senegal’s children to the quarterfinals, Mane went to Austria to play for Red Bull Salzburg. His advancements are increasingly solid when he joined Southampton in 2014 and Liverpool from 2016. Currently, Mane is one of the best players in the Premier League in particular and the world in general.
