Wishlist Cristiano Ronaldo

[iseah100 5,612]

Messi does just the minimum. Ronaldo pushes it to the limit.

What's the sixtuplet? I didn't say that he's a con. This is just a debate (which will probably never end). I'm not saying that Ronaldo is better than Messi, I'm just saying that I like his style more. There's nothing wrong with being on the other side either.

I don't think anyone trains as hard as Ronaldo, but Messi certainly does more than just the "minimum". I'm a fan of both styles Messi is like our boy Hazard with better finishing and Ronaldo is just a tank with a wicked shot, pace, and athletic ability. Like them both equally.

Since Guardiola left Barcelona, Messi looks a little bored. It's like he's already done it all and now he's just waiting for the end of the career. He doesn't have that ambition anymore, I don't even think he enjoys what he does as much as he did a few years ago. Or maybe is just a wrong impression.

Messi is a fantastic team player who will perform the individual action when needed, but will always look for a nice combination.

Ronaldo is a fantastic player who plays for Ronaldo. He will always go for individual success.

He's the better athlete but there's no competition in who's been the bigger player looking at their careers. Messi doesn't even have to win the WC to probably be considered the greatest ever when he retires. Difference between him and Pele/Cruyff (in a lesser extent Maradona) is that he's getting to their numbers or more playing against athletic defenders that would fucking eat the hearts of every player from before the 90s. Pele was playing amateurs for most of his career. Messi and Ronaldo (and every great player from this era or the one before) get zero space.

messi was not even Argentina's best player in the WC. That would be mascharano and by some distance.,

He didn't play well (well, not on Messi level), but without his important goals/actions, they would barely have survived the group stage.

I think he needs a long holiday. It's the constant pressure that got to him.

Ronaldo still has that drive mostly because he's furious because no one puts him on the same level as Messi.

What. How exactly does Cristiano push the limit?

Well, if you look at the variables. Messi suffered from anxiety for almost 2 years now, those factors were obviously Tito's death and the pressure of the world cup on his shoulders. Not to mention he had that hamstring injury he suffered in 2012 and hasn't looked the same pace wise. This season however, he's been class, looking like his old self once more.

Talent wise Ronaldo is on another level then Messi. He can do everything, Messi cannot. I don't even get how people compare them as players, they are much too different.

This is the first.

What is Messi better at then Ronaldo? Being more effective? He is not more athletic (not even close to being as athletic as Ronaldo), he can't drill free kicks from anywhere on the pitch, he does not score as many wonder goals, he is not better with using skills. Forget about Messi's non-existent heading abilities. He might be a better dribbler then Ronaldo but that is a close bet even.

Messi is the greatest dribbler of all time. He is an amazing finisher and creates boatloads of chances (most across Europe so far this season). There is a reason Messi gets more praise than Ronaldo.

So pretty much you are saying that Messi is better at one facet of the game. Ronaldo also buries and creates chances by the boatload. So Messi is a better dribbler than Ronaldo (even though Ronaldo makes people look stupid with his ability on the ball.)

Messi is better on the ball, better team player, and has a better scoring record.

Dribbling. Passing. Shooting.. Technique. Holdup play. Agility. ETC. ETC

Cristiano isnt a better fk, he's like David Luiz, scores the spectular fk and than does a Sergio ramos and hits the moon the next 6 fks.

Greatest dribbler is a stretch, but he is definitely one of the best dribblers ever.
