Salah vs man city , bring Messi headed goals

We are not talking about salah, we are talking about penaldo.
Comparing tapinaldo to messi, is like comparing harry Lame/kane to CR7

Re: Wayne Rooney: "Lionel Messi Is The Best Player Ever" by Ozkar: 11:57pm On Oct 09, 2018
Messi a bit of everything - you see him scoring goals from playing probably a deep midfield role at times, and where I’m probably still walking on the pitch he’s scoring.
Rooney, flesh and blood did not reveal this to you. That Messi guy does nearly everything and excels at them. Check goal scorers chart, he's there at the top... Assist leaders, he's there... Created chances, he's there... Dribbles, him again...

Very often he starts moves and finishes them, splits defences with passes that even spectators can't anticipate. But then, the stats don't even do him justice, so those who look at just stats actually think he has a rival.

In my opinion, Messi is the best professional footballer to have ever played the game. What he does is just unbelievable at times. He doesn't have a rival in modern football, at least not on the pitch.

I really hate the comparison between the two. Ronaldo is nothing but a finisher but Messi leads from both assists to passes to goal conversion. What more do people want? He is greatness in human form and he is in a league of his own. Those saying that Ronaldo has proved himself in different leagues are just saying trash. Where do you leave the likes of Ibrahimovic then? Mind you Ronaldo has not proven anything in the Serie A and looks unlikely to do anything special this season in my own honest opinion.

Ronaldo teaches us that with hard work and perseverance u can be among the best but messi is just pure talent playing .though he has faded a bit now..watching him play those days seems he was created just to play ball.unique player.

He took them to the finals, his tears in the final is used as meme till today, the passion, came out form the injury place to the field, gave them believe, faith, turn to coach. My brother see truth talk.. complete footballer. Both legs, head, yansh, passion, desire, anger, hunger, Give Ronaldo the credit, Messi is great, but respect Ronaldo, first to collect ballon d or in English football league. Respect a legend not hate
. Sorry to ask ooo, is that your definition of complete? Being complete is the ability to perform every skills in football. Messi is the most complete player ever. He's the best passer, dribbler, playmaker, goal scorer ( has more game to goal ratio than Rinaldo ), assist maker and even more defensive than your so called complete Ronaldo. If Ronaldo's former team mate can admit who is the best player ever, who you be to dey talk. Seek the opinions of great coaches and footballers, they will all say the same thing

I see modric, kroos ,Marcelo,Ramos are amateur players mtcwww the love of Ronaldo has blinded you people's eye.. y'all gonna find some excuse

Majority of people hate Messi because he is tooooo good..

10 CLEAR DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MESSI AND RONALDO. 1.Ronaldo scores....... Messi breaks world record. 2.Ronaldo plays because he louds fame Messi plays because he loves the game. 3.When Ronaldo scores he points at himself when Messi scores he points up. 4.Ronaldo will do 5 skills to beat 1 player Messi will do 1 trick to beat 5 players. 5.Ronaldo is compared to Messi Messi is compared to Pele and Maradona. 6.Ronaldo shoots even if there is a well positioned player to pass to Messi pass to a well positioned player even when he has the chance to shoot. 7.Ronaldo is hungry for individual success Messi is hungry for the success of the team. 8.Girls like Ronaldo for his good look Boys like Messi for his good name. 9.Ronaldo will make your day Messi will make your history. 10.Ronaldo is good Messi is the best. —

Messi is the best player in modern football history. Probably the most gifted too( Ronaldinho might be arguably his equal of better in the talent department)...is he better than Ronaldo talent wise? Yes..but I admire Ronaldo for being able to keep up with messi in terms of achievement (individually and team wise)..when people look at their stats decades to come they might think Ronaldo was a better player due to their almost identical stats..and that is a testament to his achievements...Ronaldo is a talented footballer who broke through barriers to create a lagacy while messi is a gifted genius of the game..my opinion.

I agreed with all you said except where you said that when people look at their stats decades to come that they might think Ronaldo was a better player due to their almost identical stats

No messi has a better stat and rating compared to Ronaldo.

Intelligent creature if you read my comment you would know I said both are great, but people should stop underrating Ronaldo, no comparisnC, great great players, but Ronaldo is more hungry and Much of a leader than Messi.
grin Leader? As in, are we talking politics or football now? You dey burst head oh. Rooney said Messi is the BEST PLAYER EVER. In case you don't understand let me break it down for you: Rooney talk say out of all the people wey don play football and wey still dey play football, na Messi play football pass for all of them.

Do you understand now? He did not say Messi is a better leader (whatever that means) He did not say Ronaldo has not eaten and Messi eats a lot hence Ronaldo's hunger. THAT IS NOT THE ISSUE. He said MESSI IS THE BEST PLAYER EVER! Short and simple! Stop bringing in arguments that have nothing to do with the issue at hand.

Here's something you should ponder. People compare Ronaldo to Messi, nobody compares Messi to Ronaldo. When they want to compare Messi to anyone, there's only two names they call; Maradona and Pele. Ever seen anyone compare Ronaldo to Maradona or Pele ? grin I bet not. Ever asked yourself why? Again, I bet not.
Like you said, Ronaldo is more hungry than Messi...how's that our concern? Na we tell him girlfriend to no give am food? Or have the rape allegations deprived him of his appetite?

And no, Ronaldo is not underrated. Do you even know what 'underrated' means? The most popular celebrity on the planet is underrated? A man that has 5 ballon di'ors is underrated? You need to look up the meaning of that word in your dictionary bros... assuming you have one.

Ronaldo gets ALL the accolades he deserves and in some cases, he even gets more than he deserves. An argument that says Ronaldo is overrated will even make more sense but that one is talk for another day.

You say he's a better leader? Mind if I ask how? Please where did he lead or where is he leading? Did he Lead at Man U, or Madrid? or juve? Where? Portugal? Oh yes, he wore the captain armband during the Euros Portugal won so that now makes him a leader?? grin grin You have no idea what it means to lead.

Messi is now the captain and leader of Barça, how many Barça matches have you watched this season? Not highlights oh, matches. Did you watch the match against PSV or the one against Tottenham? Did you see Messi playing defence, midfield and attack at the same time? Did you hear one of the commentators of the Tottenham vs Barca game say Messi dictates the tempo of the game? Did you hear when Rio Ferdinand said Messi plays like he has a controller in his hands? I'm afraid to say but you don't have a flipping clue as to what it means to lead.

Now that u have pointed that out,we might as well talk about the attitude problem that Ronaldo has,what he did to Rooney at the 2006 world cup was disgusting the fact that Rooney didn't even take much of an offense at it shows he is a great professional, if Ronaldo was at the receiving end Rooney might have ended up like Van nistelrooy athough he is English,before u start blabbing u might want to explain to me what the blink that Ronaldo made at the bench after the red card meant
Re: Wayne Rooney: "Lionel Messi Is The Best Player Ever" by David0(m): 9:21am On Oct 10, 2018
You compare a player who has faced different challenges, clubs, systems, leagues, fans and proved his ability to adapt and succeed to a player who has been in one club, same system, no changes all his life?

Both are great players but if you have to compare both, then all factors have to be considered.

The Messi in Barcelona is not the Messi in Argentina. That's the proof Messi may likely not be as good as he is if he leaves Barcelona.

Excuse me,but what does an international flop like Rooney know about football?

For Messi i dont have much to say except "he should try going to another club like Ronaldo did and lets see how he copes there..."

But what do i know....
#MyOpinion
who is this e-warrior calling Rooney a flop? Who knows the name of your village?
And who told you that a player has to leave for another club to prove he is good? This kind of reasoning makes me lose hope in Nigeria. Super stars like Ryan Giggs, John Terry, Steven Gerrard, Xavi, Iniesta, Maldini, Paul Scholes, Buffon etc played for only one club, has that changed the fact that they were great players?
major factors that make a player to leave for another club; wages, playing time, relationship with manager and team mates, trophies, club strength (superiority), his form/performance, club performance etc. If all these are positive then only a foolish player will leave.
