gibzzhd:You are trying to be clever by half, when was the last time man utd won treble, 1999. Ronaldo did what messi will never achieve, the 3 times back to back UCL. Tell me what Barca hasn't won before messi joined. Olodo that wants to school me. |

Martinez39s:You are talking about Ibrahimovic saying Messi is better than Ronaldo. The fact that he once played alongside Messi, you know how many times Ronaldo destroyed him |

Spallanzani:Ronaldo destroying Ibrahimovic means Ronaldo is better than Messi? I am not saying Ronaldo is not a fantastic player; Ronaldo is a world class player, but Messi is better than Ronaldo. Messi too has destroyed many players. 3 Likes |

Martinez39s: When i tell people that messi is better than ronaldo, they will think am saying rubbish. If you want to really know the truth, just cancel out goal scoring from both players and see outside that. Even without goals, messi is entertaining, interesting to watch, the way he moves with ball, dribbling, giving up-through passes, splitting passes are all amazing. You won't feel as if you wasted your ticket going to the stadium but without ronaldo regularly scoring, going to the stadium to watch him will be like a waste of time. So also players like Okocha, Zidane, Ronaldinho, Maradona, they don't need to score before you enjoy their games. 1 Like |

Martinez39s:Messi is unique, inimitable and unrepeatable" "Players like him appear every 50 or 100 years. "As a child he fell into the pot of football genius." "Cristiano Ronaldo is a great player, but those who claim that he is better than Messi don't understand anything about football or say it in bad faith," Van Basten told Corriere della Sera. 3 Likes 1 Share

Martinez39s: What you did not experience, Ronaldo in his younger days was far more skillful than Messi. Go to Adorinha and sporting Lisbon to enquire. Messi burst to limelight in 2005 under 20 world cup and I saw him in all the matches. He was even placed on the same rank as Mikel. But the Ronaldo I saw in 2001and 2003 was far more superior. People started naming their children Christiano Ronaldo.due to the teenager heroic in Portugal.The truth is why Messi dribbling skill grew with time, Ronaldo dribbling decline. 1 Like |

But what he lost in skill he made up for in hard work and goal scoring exploit. That Ronaldo is able to statistically compete with Messi despite the decline attest to his genius. There is a point I have always raised about Messi. Why are we not seeing much of his magic in national team? My answer to this is that there is a momentum and dynamic in Barcelona that integrate him |
Re: Throwback Photo Of Lionel Messi In 2000 by Martinez39s(m): 10:36pm On Mar 09, 2020 |
alfredilly:Messi has always been a dribbler in the order of Maradona and Ortega. Ronaldo too was a good dribbler but he was never better than Messi or even Neymar. Ronaldo's dribbling declined and his goals increased until recently, but Messi maintained his dribbling skills and goal scoring, and his shooting and free kick technique has reached god level in recent time. Mind you, when Ronaldo started playing, Messi was still at Barça's youth team. Messi got his debut in 2005. 3 Likes |

Martinez39s: I'm sure you never witnessed the era in reference, or you simply weren't mindful of it enough. I first saw Ronaldo in 2001 or 02. It was in an age group match with England. He scored both goals as England fell 2 nil. But what caught my attention wasn't the goal. It was the skill display. Stylishly and slowly, he cut deftly through the England defence. Seeing the name Ronaldo made me Marvel at the coincidence. It was the era of the Brazilian superstar. He completed in several age group competition for Portugal and emerge top goal scorer in each of the competition. I even read recently that in 2001, he was named by the FIFA dou of blatter and platini as the best young player around. The second time I saw Ronaldo was in 2003. Man utd was playing sporting Lisbon in their last pre season campaign on the heel of impressive win over Barcelona and Juventus. The game held in Portugal to mark the opening of sporting stadium. United lost 3-1 and Ronaldo was the star of the night. So much was the skill on display that united player put pressure on Ferguson during their flight home to sign him. Messi competed in 2005 under 20 and what he showcased never match what I saw of Ronaldo three or four years earlier. His dribbling improved exponentially why Ronaldo decline started as soon as he joined Manchester United and I remarked about it earlier. A friend of mine called it improvement and I didn't argue. The reason I noticed was the role Ferguson entrusted on him. On his first match, Ronaldo took everyone spell bound. United was struggling to beat Bolton Wanderer and then the 18 years old was brought in as substitute. Every touch of the ball was a skill exhibition. The commentator were flaggerbasted. He did magic on each occasion and in the end, united won 4-0. Three of the goal came through his assist, the last of which was a penalty after he was fouled. But Ferguson had one thing in his mind, it was to replace Ronaldo with the newly departed David Beckham. After losing his target Ronaldinho to Barcelona in a last gasp switch, Ronaldo became his ideal man. But Ronaldo was more adept with the left flank. He only switch position when he so pleased during the match. His first united match was also started from the left and later, he switch to right, Ferguson had no intention of giving him such free role. He was to replace David Beckham, the right wing legend, and so in subsequent matches, Ronaldo was confined to right wing. What was the result, his game continue to change. The slow stylish dribbler began to run with full speed. His dribbling was only showcased in quick step over and gradually, he metamorphose to a player in likeness of David Beckham. Run, set piece and goals. Do you believe Ronaldo only had three goals in sporting Lisbon despite his heroic status. |
