Current situation of J Ronaldo: ups and downs and unknowns of the Balecano journey

   This summer, Colombian midfielder J. Ronaldo, who was crowned the best player of the Copa America and the MVP of the tournament, joined Balecano as a free agent, which once attracted attention from the football world and led to his return to the top five leagues. But unlike 10 years ago, his joining this time is not as glamorous as it was back then. In 2014, 23-year-old J Ronaldo joined Real Madrid for 75 million euros, and his peak net worth reached 80 million euros due to the outbreak of that season. Now 33 years old and on the decline, J Ronaldo still has a net worth of 5 million.

    At that time, Balecano President Martin Presa even compared this signing to Maradona's joining Napoli that year, and fans had high hopes for J Ronaldo to become the team's savior and help the team shine in La Liga. J Ronaldo himself is also full of anticipation for returning to La Liga, aiming to help Balecano enter the top six of the league.

    However, reality dealt a heavy blow to everyone. So far, J Ronaldo's performance in Balecano has been disappointing. He only played 7 games for the team, with a total playing time of 205 minutes, just exceeding the duration of two full games. During this time, he only contributed 1 assist, which is quite dismal.

    In the 13th round of La Liga, when Balecano lost 1-3 at home to Las Palmas, J. Ronaldo only came on as a substitute in the 77th minute, when the team was already trailing 0-3. Prior to the crucial match against Real Madrid, despite expressing a strong desire to play and prove himself in front of his former team, J Ronaldo ultimately failed to make it to the squad, reportedly due to injuries and not reaching his best form. After the match, both coach Perez and chairman Presa were vague about J Ronaldo's situation and did not provide a clear explanation, which made J Ronaldo's situation even more confusing and made the outside world full of concerns and speculations about his future in Balecano.
