Football / How would you face up against the pros?

With regard to Cristiano Ronaldo -- my little brother has always asked why are effective dribblers so effective and i told him it was a combination of cognitive speed and diving in. I also explained that if one were to never dive in and just contain, that an attacking player would have no option other than attempting to run through or past a player or make a pass. I also firmly believe that against most professionals i could stand my own one v one  without getting embarrased by a rainbow, reverse spanner or the never ending step over......but when it comes to C. Ronaldo, I seriously think with his speed and skill, theres absolutely no way to defend this guy, he can turn you so fast and leave you flat footed just as fast and thats if he has to put a move on you and chooses not just to fly by you.........just thinking out loud........but what do you guys think........curious to see what people have to say?
