Does anyone think Ronaldo should stripped from freekick duties

Xabi can score beautiful freekicks too but i honestly don't see Ronaldo giving those chances to any other players.

Now he has gone back to his original method so you'll notice that near the end of the season he started scoring more from set pieces

not sure if that's a good or bad thing..
If i remember correctly, that theory was never proven. It was just something mark hughes (former man city manager) speculated.

he had some awesome free kicks on his first season. Last season, I kinda got tired/sick of ronaldo taking freekick because he kept missing(not even close) or hitting the wall.

It's not speculation. His personal doctor confirmed it, and I made a thread about it on one of the old forums. I don't think he'll ever take his free kicks the way he used to do it for Man United, ever again. He's still an above average FK taker, but we have several options on the team that are also above average at it and can provide something different from his predictable, "all-power" shots. I don't mind that he keeps taking them, but he shouldn't be Madrid's only designated FK taker.

Ronaldo and Alonso are both the type who go for power over precision. I would prefer if someone like Özil or Kaká was given a chance on close range FKs.. if only every now and then. I know that Kaká is capable of both power and precision shots, whereas Xabi and CR, in particular almost always go for power.

Just my two cents :lol!:

That's basically what I was trying to say
