AT the age of 33, Cristiano Ronaldo doesn't so much run anymore as he threatens to run.

Let the other players sprint and chase all game, he signals with his exquisite lack of industriousness. He will wait here, or maybe just over there, until it is time to do the scoring. He has, for the most part, jogged at this World Cup in Russia. More often, he has walked. It is not that he cannot run, or doesn't want to; he is just in no hurry until he has to be.
