For a couple of years debate has waged on about who is currently the best soccer player in the world. On one hand, we have Cristiano Ronaldo (tall man in white), A.K.A CR7. While on the other hand, we take a look at current Barcelona player, Lionel Messi (short man in blue and red), A.K.A. La Pulga. Arguments in favor of Cristiano Ronaldo are that he is the more complete player. Meaning his overall statistics are higher. His speed is better. His jump is higher. His strength is more balanced. Arguments in favor of Messi is that he is a better dribbler. Some might even say his speed is the better one. However, we must all keep in mind that these are only opinions. How hard do you imagine these individuals worked to get labeled as "The best"? Was it hard work and determination? Or was it mere talent? Watch the video and then post your opinion on who is the better player below. Why did you make this decision?
I agree that both are good players. However, when I vote according to the video, i must point out that Messi had more goals. But, there are more clips of CR7 dribbling. I also think Messi is faster.
ReplyDeleteWell, I think that Cristiano Ronaldo is a much better player not only on the field but also outside of it. For example, Messi once kicked a ball to the crowd on purpose and hit a Real Madrid fan right in the face. That was just totally not good. Also, last season, CR7 broke the record of most goals scored in one season, with 40 goals, if I'm not mistaken. Overall, I agree with Amir with the fact that he has better skills in general.
ReplyDeleteALl that Cristiano did is penalties well mostly so Messssssii
ReplyDeleteI dont like either because both of their teams trust them way too much. I have seen in games when the Barça players pass the ball to Messi they stop running and eventually aid him when they see that two or more players from the other team are coming to take the ball away from him. Also Cristiano has team mates all around him and does not pass the ball.
ReplyDeleteI don't know both. But I heard that they are good players :) I heard about Messi but I never heard of Christiano Ronaldo. But I guess he's a good player :D
ReplyDeleteI think Barca is more dependent about Messi than Madrid is to Ronaldo. My point of view is that Ronaldo assists as much as he scores, and we all know that last season he was the player with most goals scored.
ReplyDelete40 Goals, 11 Hat-tricks, 99 goals with Madrid in two seasons, Pichichi of La Liga, with Manchester it took him about 4-5 seasons to reach the 100th goal. In my opinion Ronaldo is a better player and Madrid doesn't depend on him that much. Check out the scores and notice that he might be one of the top scorers but his teammates also have a high rank, more than Barca.
ReplyDeletePenalties!!!!
ReplyDeleteBoth are really good player, both have amazing abilities and their way of resolving problems so fast and basically doing everything good. Although I must admit that they cannot be compared with the chilean super star Alexis Sanchez. they just cannot be compared
