Imho the essence of football is to remain focused and aware of everyone around you, while maintaining close control of the ball as you perform athletic challenges. Some have good ball control while dribbling at high speed, but lose oversight. Some are always in control of the ball and their surroundings, but lack creativity or agility. Some are athletic, aware and focused but lack the top level ball control to exploit that. Messi has it all. Perfect control, perfect vision and no body builder physique but super fast turns, acceleration, deceleration and the stamina to show it many times in every match.
To be honest both the players are best player. But comparing Ronaldo with Messi, Messi is way ahead and he is a whole rounder, he can assist in a very unexpected way, he is a play maker.
C. Ronaldo is one of the best ever, and that is because he understands the game and strategy of the game and can play well. Leo is the best ever, because he understands football in all aspects, and on top of all, he also perfectly utilizes the ball in level that no one can. Fact - Reporter mentioned about miss goal of Leo in 2014 wc final and Leo responded and at the end he said "well if I brushed a little more (the ball) , it could be a different story" (after words he did continue that perhaps it was not main to be etc...).
The comment from Zlatan surprised me. I always thought he was arrogant kinda like Ronaldo. He was humble and respectful. Messi must haved impressed him
messi is good and all but i'm sorry if r9 ronaldo is not in this discussion, u have lost my attention. that mfr was the mohammed ali of football. are u kidding me lol. this new generation doesn't know shit
Messi has no gift, he put the hours like no one else to become the player he became. let’s not make stuff up like “gift” or “talented” for something people have never seen before. he has the physique, he has the drive and he has the passion. don’t take away what Messi invested to be as good as he is.
Wtf without Maradona , hé was maried to the bal , he Made napoli and argentina champion ., Messi great ok, but fuck ….. dont forget the master. For me Cruyff. . But letst be happy we got players like them . And probably the best is not standing on the field.so Lets get them there. ( Cruyff thoughts)
Messi is a global treasure. He is an example for all kids that feel like they can't be world class cause of their height. He is small in height, but a giant on the pitch.
I can understand a lot of managers saying they would rather have Messi than Ronaldo, especially during messis later stages. He seems easier to put into a team, he can do lots of things very well. Ronaldo is an elite, and I mean ELITE goal scorer, but especially when he got older he required service and you basically had to put him as the main striker.
Cruyff has left the chat 🇳🇱 Zidane has joined the chat 🇫🇷 Zlatan has left the chat 🇸🇪 Pep guardiola was a good player so Pep guardiola left the chat 🇪🇸 Beckenbauer left the chat 🇩🇪 Ancelotti was a good player so Ancelotti left the chat 🇮🇹 And Xavi kinda left the chat 🇪🇸 👇
Why do people keep on saying about Ronaldo CR7? I mean he's just all about tap-in and penalty. I mean look at the way he tries to dribble, he looks stupid 😂
Difference is ronaldo has trained probably harder than most players ever to make him that good, Leo probably could of giving training a miss because he has that special natural magical talent that only a few have ever had, the likes of M Jordon and the Tom Brady’s of the world both of those guys even if they didn’t have to work as hard as the rest had that natural talent 😂 it’s crazy messi was born to be the best ever and easily. I wonder if messi when he was a young kid just knew what was coming. Leo Messi is by far the best ever I honestly don’t even think him and c ronaldo are anywhere near the same level. Messi assists messi scores messi can find a pass out of nothing messi 90 goals in a whole year I mean that’s just fucking insane. Messi number one I’d say r9 number 2 then Ronaldinho then I’d say C ronaldo
Watching this video in 2023 after Messi finally won his much-deserved world cup is just so heartwarming So many professionals were already saying he's the greatest of all time. And now even the hardline Pele fans have mostly been won over, since Messi finally accomplished it all with the world cup.
