Hello there,

I could do with some confessing: I am not a soccer fan! But when I took a bit of time to watch the Manchester United-Barcelona game, I did not have an idea I was preparing for the worst nightmare in terms of unprofessional football.

The first ten minutes of the the match looked promising for the indomitable 'Man U' as it is fondly known by adoring fans. But the worst was yet to come!

After a sudden goal by an enthusiastic Samuel Eto'o, the only hope for desperate soccer fans was a vigorous second half in which Manchester United could come back 'fully blown' to face Barcelona.

Miracles started to happen: Manchester United lost touch with their opponents; Lionel Messi headed Barcelona's second goal into the net.

At this moment, I could see Sir Alex Ferguson, known for his gum-chewing, looking worried and concerned.

Major news channels ranging from CNN to Sky News analysed the game in varying ways and from a different angle,with some calling on Sir Alex to 'bring in Tevez'. A Manchester fan at the Old Trafold had spoken of his team being 'down but not out.' But with a second goal for Barcelona, there was no way Manchester United could equalize within a short period of time. And it looked like the best time to accept defeat with honour.

But not for Cristiano Ronaldo. Ronaldo behaved like a typical villager from a small rural team in Cameroun. For him, that was a moment for canterkerous football. He kicked the ball and whoever came closer as if his teams defeat had anything to with Barcelona players.

I do not know if Manchester United should recruit psychologists to deal with such madness, but the fact is that for a star of Ronaldo's stature, there is need to understand that he is a role model: Young men (and some women!) look to him for inspiration. It may not be in football alone but from a different angle and sphere of life.

It is high time Cristiano Ronaldo put his act together for the benefit of his club, himself and indeed the world of soccer.

It is embarrassing for such a young mad to exhibit such behaviour as if he cannot be disciplined.
