@BickleKun@chrisramsay52 Can you stop making things up, I am canadian and nobody would go to prison to talk about this topic. Sidenote, wanting a fellow human to go to prison to discuss an important but still very ostracized topic is the peak of stupidity and sadness.
@utdehan@mkmutd@Real_legendking@lebzygold You could definitely make that claim. Harder to compare era and level of competition versus Messi and Ronaldo who played significant time in the same league though.
@utdehan@mkmutd@Real_legendking@lebzygold Actually Messi has way more touches and better passing rates than Cristiano also. You will often see him drop deep to connect with Busquets, Xavi and Iniesta and you know that too.
@utdehan@mkmutd@Real_legendking@lebzygold I did not brought up goal scoring. Someone else said CR7 was a better goalscorer while this claim is false, I just brought scoring efficiency which is favorable to Messi and Messi was not a pure CF either. That was Eto'o, Suarez, Villa, Ibra roles.
@utdehan@mkmutd@Real_legendking@lebzygold That was not the norm. Even during the 70's, the best ever creative players like Cruyff, Platini, Maradona or Zico were not scoring goals like Messi. Only name that can come to mind as creator and goal scorer is Puskas.
@utdehan@mkmutd@Real_legendking@lebzygold And used him as a false 9 or more advanced 10 (who's role was more prominent in the 90s). Before Messi goal scoring wingers were a rarity. Both CR7 and Messi have made the modern football that it is today with goal scoring winger and no more creative 10.
@crdvl7@lebzygold People create that narrative that CR7 was always the best player, his game evolved a whole lot during his career. What thing is sure he was more of "star" back then because of his look. I will give him his flower, most likely the hardest worker out there.
@crdvl7@lebzygold Back when Serie A was the best league. The issue with Ronaldo is that most people base their opinion on one season he had at Man United that changed his trajectory but prior to 07/08, most united fans were glazing wazza well above CR7. Especially in term of work rate + goals
@crdvl7@lebzygold CR7 is the ultimate physical specimen in term of power and strength but Messi was always the most gifted in term of control, change of direction, dribbling and chance creation.
@mkmutd@Real_legendking@lebzygold Simple, actual goal scored per game, exclude penalties and it's even getting worse for Ronaldo. Now even add goals scored per shots taken ratio and it's even worse for CR7. Messi is just an anomaly and a unique talent, best creator & goal scorer in world football history.
@crdvl7@lebzygold It's always about age but the reality is that Ronaldo has evolved his game into a more poacher/goal scorer role over the years while Messi has always been a goal scorer & a creator. They have different style of play even at their top physical peak, Ronaldo never was as 'active'.
@EternaIGreen@user29292191291@TheImmortalKop Messi resume as the player with most assists and chance creation in football history dissaprove your point. An 'easy pass' that very few can do or have done at similar rate as him.
