Karriera e Ronaldos ishte në ‘fije të perit’ – si u diagnostikua me një lëndim që nuk ka shërim dhe bëhej më keq me kalimin e kohës

Cristiano Ronaldo  ka luajtur me një dëmtim të rëndë në gju që nuk ka shërim që nga viti 2014, sipas një postimi interesant në Tëitter.

Fituesi pesë herë i Topit të Artë vazhdon të thyejë rekorde të shumta dhe kohët e fundit u bë golashënuesi ndërkombëtar me më së shumti gola në histori kur kaloi Ali Daein të Iranit.

Sidoqoftë, përpara debutimit të tij të dytë me Manchester United, përdoruesi i Twitter @LLF_14 ka bërë pretendime të jashtëzakonshme se sulmuesi ka luajtur me një gjendje të gjurit të quajtur ‘tendinosis’ që nga viti 2014 – e cila nuk ka shërim.

Ronaldo e bëri emrin e tij në Old Trafford si një sulmues i aftë me ritëm të shpejtë dhe driblime, por kthehet si një lojtar i momenteve që kërkon topin në zonë.

Ndryshimi në pozicion dhe stilin e lojës, me sa duket, ka ardhur si rezultat i problemit kronik të gjurit.

Lëndimi përshkruhet si deformim dhe jo ‘inflamacion’, që do të thotë se gjendja e gjurit të portugezit do të përkeqësohet sa herë që e përdor atë.

Postimi gjithëpërfshirës thotë se kur Ronaldo filloi të vuante nga kjo çështje, ai ka marrë disa tretmane të ndryshme dhe shikonte më shumë nga vetja për shëndetin e përgjithshëm.

Lexo po ashtu Përmbledhje e paraqitjeve të Cristiano Ronaldos në 'kulmin e karrierës' është e jashtëzakonshme - a do të ketë më si portugezi?

Megjithatë, Ronaldo mbetet në formë të jashtëzakonshme fizike dhe pasi nënshkroi një kontratë dyvjeçare për një qëndrim të dytë në United, ai është i uritur për më shumë tituj.

Ai i tha faqes zyrtare të Manchester United: “Unë nuk jam këtu për pushime […] Më parë ishte mirë, duke fituar gjëra të rëndësishme dhe unë e kisha veshur fanellën për shumë vite”.

Lexo po ashtu Cristiano Ronaldo nuk e lejon nënën e tij t'i shikojë ndeshjet e mëdha as nga televizori

“Por, unë jam këtu për të fituar përsëri. Unë jam i aftë, unë dhe shokët e mi të skuadrës. Unë jam gati të shkoj. Është një shans i mirë për mua, për tifozët, për klubin, për të bërë një hap përpara”.

“Unë mendoj se do të jem një gjë e madhe në tre ose katër vitet e ardhshme”, ka shtuar më tej ai. /Telegrafi/

2. Explanation of Left Patellar Tendinosis

You're going to quickly learn 4 things to understand the injury.

A | Location of injury
B | Tendons
C | Tendinitis (first stage of injury, curable)
D | Tendinosis (final stage of injury, chronic)

— LLF (@LLF_14) September 9, 2021

A | Location of Injury

"Left Patellar Tendinosis" means tendinosis at the patellar tendon in the left knee. pic.twitter.com/DSikmdVeCu

— LLF (@LLF_14) September 9, 2021

B | Tendons

Tendons are basically tough, fibrous cords of collagen that attach muscle to bone.

Here's a simple diagram to understand 👇

— LLF (@LLF_14) September 9, 2021

C | Tendinitis (first stage of the injury) is an acutely inflamed swollen tendon. It causes pain, swelling and a burning feeling in the knee.

It is caused by an overuse of the tendon, so it can really happen to any footballer since this sport is very demanding on the knees. pic.twitter.com/oV9pkJnWAu

— LLF (@LLF_14) September 9, 2021

D | Tendinosis (what Ronaldo has) is an evolved form of tendinitis, which is a chronic degeneration, scarring, hardening, and thickening of the tendons.

This causes many problems such as pain, swelling, tenderness and most importantly, a loss of flexibility in the knee. pic.twitter.com/ICn2dSVRZc

3. Recovery

So what could Cristiano have done once the injury evolved into tendinosis? There's no guarenteed cure but 80% of people fully recover from tendinosis after 8 months of rest. Some sources even say 3-6 months is enough if you start right away with optimal treatment.

4. The Most Important Part of This Thread.

Cristiano Ronaldo CONFIRMS that he DID NOT REST when he had the chance in order to not miss the World Cup, and he decided to "live with the pain" for the rest of his career. 👇 pic.twitter.com/9IGr4amNCy

— LLF (@LLF_14) September 9, 2021

"Either you stop for two or three months, or you learn to live with the pain."

"I can endure the pain because I think there's something stronger."

"Maybe if I didn't feel the pain, maybe I wouldn't be as good as I am." pic.twitter.com/hMp07yLVco

"I have no doubt that the World Cup made my injury WORSE." 💔

"I don't feel any improvement in my injury" 💔

"I could have recovered by now." 💔

"If I could go back, I WOULDN'T have gone to the World Cup." 💔💔💔 pic.twitter.com/21u6u15UNb

Lionel Messi is a great human being. He asked Ronaldo about his injury to check on him.

— LLF (@LLF_14) September 9, 2021

So to quickly refresh your memory, Ronaldo first had tendinitis and then it evolved into tendinosis. We don't know the exact time he had either one, but we do know that they must be spaced out (by weeks/months) because Tendinosis evolves from tendinitis.

— LLF (@LLF_14) September 9, 2021

The medical report on tendinosis only came out on June 3, 2014 so he must've had tendinitis at least weeks before that (probably in March, April or May, but maybe even before).

[Real Madrid vs Rayo | 29 MAR 2014]

This is the earliest footage I've found of him possibly having a knee injury this season. He missed the next 2 league games because of it. It was recorded as a "muscle fiber tear" on TM though. pic.twitter.com/um1A6knYGY

— LLF (@LLF_14) September 9, 2021

This could've been the exact moment he got tendinitis, which then after 2 months it had evolved into tendinosis. That would make perfect sense, but that doesn't necessarily mean its true. pic.twitter.com/o4FNeBZnFc

— LLF (@LLF_14) September 9, 2021

Cristiano has NOT been normal after that Bayern game. I believe that's the last game he played before tendinosis clearly affected him.

But it could have been a few games before or after that, who knows? I'm sticking with the Bayern game based on my own judgement. pic.twitter.com/68hMiib58e

6. More Evidence of him struggling with the knee after the 2014 WC.

Just before we actually get into that, I'd like to go over (in full detail) the adductor problems that he had at the same time as his knee injury. They are relevant.

— LLF (@LLF_14) September 9, 2021

He had adductor problems at the same time as tendinosis, as we know from the Portuguese medical report. I think there's a strong correlation between the two because he's had them both at the same time all the way from March to September, as you'll see later on. pic.twitter.com/TvGXF5dIws

— LLF (@LLF_14) September 9, 2021

Then, in 14/15 he missed 2 games early into the season due to "thigh problems", and we also know he had tendinosis at this time:

• [Sociedad vs Madrid | 31 AUG 2014]
• [Portugal vs Albania | 9 SEP 2014]

— LLF (@LLF_14) September 9, 2021

He's been struggling all the way from March to September with the lower part of his left thigh and with his knee, although his knee problems continue to trouble him even today. pic.twitter.com/e9c5swQ2l7

— LLF (@LLF_14) September 9, 2021

Ronaldo's 2014 World Cup campaign began on June 16th, 13 days after the official medical report on the tendinosis (June 3rd). This is even more proof that he didn't rest his knee and played through the injury in the World Cup. He also confirmed it himself as you already saw.

And also beyond goals, you can go and watch some of his dribbling on YT in both seasons and compare them yourself. He had some good dribbles in 14/15, but far less than in 13/14.

I don't want to post the footage since Twitter is very strict with their copyright rules.
