Given is a line graph reviewing data regarding the changes the amount of money earned by 3 famous football players over the course of a decade, 2018-2018.
Overall, despite some short-lived drops, Messi and Odil demonstrated upward trends, yet the reverse was true for Ronaldo. Messi exhibited the most pronounced changes, followed closely by Ahmedov with moderate movements and distantly by Ronaldo with rather insignificant changes.
Initially, there was a minute difference in Ahmedov and Ronaldo’s earnings, but then the figure of Ronaldo saw a sudden noticeable decrease between 2008 and 2011, leaving the footballer with the lowest earnings of all the three. Meanwhile, Ahmedov’s ratio remained at the initial level for the next two years prior to witnessing moderate growth. Over a span of 2012-2014, Ronaldo beat his counterpart Ahmedov only once by a tiny margin while his salary gradually increased yet Ahmedov experienced a dramatic drop in his earnings before climbing back to somewhere in the vicinity of $6.5 million in 2014. Interestingly, both players experienced fluctuating patterns throughout the final period (2015-2018).
The tendency of Messi’s earnings started off at approximately $9 million in 2008, which was then followed by a considerable dive, hitting its nadir at $8 million and leaving a slight difference of $2 million for Ahmedov to catch up. Afterwards, it rose back to roughly $13 million, which earned Messi the second highest amount in the so-called salary competition. Over the course of 2012-2016, the figure kept falling with a stable movement in between, and underwent another low point at $9 million. During the final 2 years, however, there was a massive gap between Messi and Ahmedov’s earning as Messi’s figure grew enormously, reaching a peak of $17 million, which was well above twice as much as what Ahmedov earned.
