EVILFOREST:

For me the saddest day in SOCCER HISTORY will be the very day LIONNEL MESSI will retire. Perhaps, that will be the HAPPIEST MOMENT for some people.

I don't even want to imagine myself imagining the imagination of that imaginable day........am already feeling sad sef......

Many will not read the post to understand the context of what he said. They'll just read the stupid sensational headline and start posting thrash in the comments.

Lol, the guy actually has a point. Everyone is now using Ronaldo and messi as measurement rating against other players.

Well, good and at the same time bad. He has a point though.

Surely, he makes a very valid point. Football is not only about scoring goals. There are other players who are simply brilliant in their roles... Kante, Busquet, VVD, etc. I'm happy that VVD won the PFA player of the year this time in the EPL.

Justify your world record wages or u earn Del pirero or Totti wages... if u choose to compare urself with them

Bobbybrwon:
Why are you complaining.... What of Adrea Pirlo, clearence seedorf, Philip lham, Adres Iniesta,luis Xavie,paul scholars, frank Lampard etc... They all did very well during their even without scoring goals ....so stop complaining

Those players you mentioned don't score much goals, but they score great goals

Poor journalism!
He never blamed anyone, all he said was Messi and Ronaldo has raised the bar by scoring high number of goals, that as an attacker if you don't score so many goals, you'll be regarded as a flop.
And he's right, imagine two players scoring 50+goals, the game has changed, And everything now is about goals.
The same reason Mo Salah won the PFA last season over debruyne, even though if you take away debruyne contribution from mancity then they might not have won it.
Nobody want to care about work rate, or the dedication you put into a game, If you don't score two or three goals, They say you are a FLOP.
The beginning of this season, Salah wasn't scoring as much goals for Liverpool, but he was working for the team everyone was already labelling him "One season wonder".

GidifeedNews:
Paul Pogba has suggested that Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are partly to blame for the criticism that continues to come his way at Manchester United.
The 26-year-old believes his contribution would have been lauded not all that long ago, with the exploits of star turns at Barcelona and Juventus pushing expectation levels up for everybody else.

Pogba told Icon Magazine: “Football has changed a lot. I grew up watching the exploits of great champions, real legends like [Alessandro] Del Piero, [Luis] Figo, [Francesco] Totti and many others.

“All have been champions, the best in the world, but perhaps many of them did not achieve more than 20 goals per season.

“Now the data, the statistics, the numbers, often seem to have become the only parameter of judgment.

“That, on the one hand, is good, it is part of the evolution of modern football and the desire to play the ball more and more. But we often tend to forget how difficult it has always been to score more than 20 goals, even for the big players.

“And today perhaps even more so, because the distance between the teams of high level has been reduced, especially in big competitions.

“Messi and Ronaldo have shown in recent years: doing what they did, maintaining those stats – that is the exception, not the norm.

Pogba added: “If an attacker today scores ten or 15 goals, he is likely to be told that it is not enough. But the player's work must be judged with perspective.

“You have to remember that someone like Pavel Nedved won the Ballon d’Or without his team winning the Champions League or without having scored much himself. He was simply the best in his role and was rewarded for what he was capable of doing on the field.”

What's this one saying

This boy don't drink kaikai

Flop pogba

Oga shut up and sit up and stop whining like a baby

TonyeBarcanista:
He is right though!

Messi and Rinaldo have redefined football and created a very big shoe that even greats like Ibrahimnovic, Frank Ribery, Andres Iniesta, Xavi, Busquet etc couldn't match.

Messi is the greatest sportsman ever! Next is Ronaldo...

He is not even the greatest footballer inArgentina , then look at the miles apart from calling greatest sportsman... In fact you Barca fans ehn

When they signed him for that very expensive amount, he did not complain and compare with those players that he mentioned. He better up his game else he go cry tire.

Nonsense and ingredients

was it Sky Sports that generated the news or was it an article?

The dude is trying hard to justify his high wages to his below par performance. VVD is the current best player in England...he was judged not by goals but because he is a brilliant defender.

Make he talk another thing...

So u wan make dey carry world best give u for playing rubbish
