He is the greatest of all time. CR7 broke the system, defiled the system, spat on the system and came out unscathed. He makes the low class people dream of achieving greatness without the help, begging, hyping and sucking up to the system. He came, he saw and he conquered. The ou player to tell the system when he was nothing that he is going to be the greatest football player ever and they thought he was joking until he proved to them that he is indeed the best and forced them start exposing their gimmicks, theatrics and manipulations yet it didn't stop him. You're our motivation CR7, the GOAT BOAT We dream because you dared them. Retire in awe of what your accomplished through out history.
