Really interesting and subjective topic.

For me personally strength in football is defined by a players ability to use their arms to keep players away from the ball.

Any form of shoulder to shoulder i consider balance, particularly when referring to the player in possession.

Ronaldo being stronger than Messi is the biggest myth ever btw. Muscles don’t = strength on a football pitch.

Messi far harder to knock off the ball.

@sulkfenomeno any thoughts on casemiro’s tournament?

[The Offensive Zone @FinalThirdLab]

@Gala10Galaxy What?

[The Offensive Zone @FinalThirdLab]

@Stingohard @eulerianham Ronaldo’s still got the best box movement in the world. Potentially still the best aerially too

Messi is the best in the world from zone14. Close with a few other things like vision and creativity

I’d argue in terms of being the best in the world, Ronaldo has more attributes.

@ffsssmufassir @Juccie17 @eulerianham is this a serious reply?

[The Offensive Zone @FinalThirdLab]

@ItsToddChavez @eulerianham I never argued against that.

[The Offensive Zone @FinalThirdLab]

@Juccie17 @eulerianham Unmarked. Great header of course but just not what i was describing.

[The Offensive Zone @FinalThirdLab]
