Neymar played most of his career in a farmers league and couldn’t even stay fit, a league Hazard dominated from age 17-21 with Lille, won YPOTY twice and POTY twice before moving to Chelsea.

Pep was playing football manager with the rest of the club airmark calling him check book manager was right all along.

Enzofiles are coming soon.

CAPdan21:
You're glad that Enzo "you guys should hold me responsible if he doesn't perform" is gone??..

He was average in his primary duty just a box crasher and we have Rogers for that now so he was surplus to requirement. Getting 125m pounds for him is a big win for the club.

Glad that the board didn’t panic buy and also Enzo is gone and sold well.

nateevs:
Playing well during pre season has no value. Fitness and cohesion matter more.

Alonso has to stick with 3 at the back formation for now if at all.

Honestly, we have not be playing well since Alonso came in, we play like average country side. It’s not about the result for now but the pattern of play is not convincing. We are even playing against seria a sides that play slow football.

How Ronaldo was forced beside Messi even when we know there are many players better than him in football who are not even on Messi’s level.

Sportsweb:
If Ronaldo watch this Argentina team he go really shed tears.
. nothing concern Argentina players with scoring, just look for messi and pass to him

Same Ronaldo that is the problem of Portugal currently. You mean to tell me Vintiha and Joao Neves two great midfielder that just won ucl and Bruno, an epl player of the year are problem of Portugal. Same Ronaldo that couldn’t win anything for Al nasar for years until Felix came and carried him to glory is who they should be banking on, a 41 year old who can’t make pocket runs, can’t press opponent’s defense without the ball and can’t fall deep to play with his team mate or run channels but insist on being the main man. Ronaldo is still playing because of 1000 goals and not because he want the best for Portugal. A captain that openly said World Cup is not his dream just because Messi won it, before then it was his dream. His ego is killing Portugal, he should retire and let these new boys carry Portugal with Grace. Ronaldo is an international tournament failure.

Imagine Ronaldo has being finished since 2018 and they still mentioning his name along side Messi who still very active and competing with Mbappe, Halaand and Harry Kane. Man U and Real Madrid fans, some paid media house and piers Morgan will never know no peace for igniting a debate that wasn’t there initially. Ronaldo is an artificial footballer and he knows that, that’s why he embraced scoring goals only to keep his name in the mouth of his fans who are not football lovers and don’t have knowledge of the game but admire his physique and sui celebration. E.g Ishowspeed. Nobody with football knowledge will mention Ronaldo’s name beside Messi. Talent wise, Ronaldo is not top 20 footballers of all time. In dribbling, he is not top 15, in creating of chances and carrying the ball he is not top ten and Messi is number 1 in all of these whilst still be the most efficient goal scorer.

Carot:
i stand with you. The guy no get shame. He and his team mates will be sent packing by DRC on Wednesday

Same Ronaldo that said wc is just 6-7 games, that it is no longer his dream just because Messi won it, the most difficult trophy to win. If there was second leg in the wc like ucl Portugal would’ve beaten Morocco, no home and away only the host teams have home advantage. Zidane is called greatest of all time for France over Platini because of World Cup win whereas, Platini has more ballon d or and ucl than him. World Cup win put world players in legendary status. Eusebio has 9 goals in one World Cup tournament while Ronaldo has 8 goals in 5 world tournaments.

Whizlight:
The whole of Portugal, and the only striker people can point to as Cristiano Ronaldo’s replacement is Gonçalo Ramos.

Think about that for a second.

For years, Portugal have produced world-class talent in every area of the pitch. Elite midfielders. Elite defenders. Elite wingers. Yet the No. 9 position has remained a problem. Even Ronaldo himself wasn’t born a striker. He was shaped from a midfielder into a winger, and then into a goalscoring machine.

So when people like Rio Ferdinand say he should come off the bench, the question is simple: for who exactly?

Where is the world-class striker waiting to take his place?

There is no ruthless, undeniable No. 9 banging down the door. No generational striker forcing the issue. Just endless debate, opinions, and empty expectations.

The reality is that, at 41, Ronaldo is still the most feared goalscorer in the squad and still the player his teammates look for when they need a goal.

The truth is simple: Portugal’s biggest problem isn’t Ronaldo starting. It’s that after all these years, they still haven’t produced a striker good enough to make anyone forget him.

Not one.

Forget this talk, Ronaldo should retire so that Ramos can be starting he will be more useful for the Portuguese midfielders than Ronaldo. Giroud didn’t score when France won World Cup 2018 but his link up play helped. Ramos will link up better with the rest attackers than Ronaldo.

Another reminder to leave when the ovation is loudest.

CR7 carry Messi Comparison for head sotay e don dey turn embarrassment.

Shame don dey catch me lowkey say I support am during his prime.

I like it that way, I want him embarrassed for daring to raise deluded fans who don’t love football but admire his physical body and sui against Messi.

Enzo as DM is best but doesn’t work in epl except la liga so Real Madrid pay so that we go for Crystal palace’s Wharton.

Alonso should sign Xhaka to pair up with caceido next season, since we will only be playing epl it will be good for his old legs, he still got. Sell Enzo to Real Madrid.

Congratulations Gunners! You guys actually deserve it after trying to win for years now. Topping it up with ucl will actually make a big statement.

Someone that said Papa Perez bought all Ronaldo Balon dor' wins for him

He influenced those ballon d or for him. Ok can you tell me how Ribery didn’t win 2013 ballon d or meanwhile cr7 went trophyless? Messi European golden boot that season. Why was the vote extended before wc qualifier play off that Portugal had against Sweden? When he left real Madrid his fan thought he will win it but Modric won, Peres make him understood he is the one carrying him by signing super stars in Modric, bale, kroos, di maria and co to play for him, after all, he is a fine boy that will sell more image for Real Madrid. Moreover, Makelele was sold to Chelsea for not up to par with the beauty pageant there.

Amethyst101:
10/10 no be underrating now, chief
That's flawless, incredible, absolute-perfection, abi wetin una want again?

Person talk say Messi na 10/10, you say e underrate am. I no come understand again.

Make una try dey calm down nah

He said ability, impact wise Messi is 10 while cr7 is 9.8 which is false. Cr7 is an international flop and has never impacted a team to glory like Messi. Messi has more clutch moment than him, more man of the match award times two. Cr7 has no international MVP for Portugal after how many tournaments he has gone to. B Sylver and mendes have won MVP for Portugal. Nani, Pepe did better than him when they won euro. So you want to tell me messi is only better than cr7 with just 0.2. Messi won it all for Argentina as the MVP, from under 20, to Olympics to copa America and finally wc(MVP twice). Cr7 should be 8/10 when compared to Messi and this is me being generous.

popizaino:
We can be Messi fan without undermining Cristiano Ronaldo's greatness pls.

If Messi is 10/10 in football ⚽️,Cristiano Ronaldo will surely be 9.8/10. They are not very far from each other in their abilities,impact and talent level .

So please C.ronaldo deserves praises from you and every football fan on earth on condemnation,insults, and all that.

Again, saying Messi is 10/10 while cr7 is 9.8/10 is another insult to Messi, you just underrated Messi and overrated cr7 which is the problem. Aside goal scoring which Messi is more efficient at cr7 is not top ten best dribblers or play makers but Messi is number 1.

rooftops:
Person wey no serious with his weird takes. Person team concede die minute goal in a title deciding match, you say make he no sad. Shey make he dey celebrate ni?

But he played the game and did nothing. Was he the one that score the one goal they were leading with, what’s the tears all about when you still have the next game to play to be champion. Not that he is even the one carrying them. Always crying just to draw sympathy from non football lovers who are mostly his fan, it’s all acting from him and it is shameful pls.

I’m not happy he was able to gather non football lovers with “luciferous” display like this. If you see where this set of his fan talk about football you will just be angry, they only talk about his look and sui to compare him with Messi this days, that’s an insult on football. Four years in Al Nasir no league titles whereas Messi already won it for Miami by being the best player. But let him win this one and see his fan yapping rubbish like he is the G.O.A.T. I Mean how can messi exist in football and you call cr7 G.O.A.T. Cr7 is a goal scorer which Messi is more efficient at, Messi is number 8, 10, 7, 11 and 9 on the pitch. Messi is world class at play making, dribbling and scoring whereas, cr7 is world class at just scoring only, he isn’t top ten dribbler or playmaker so why comparing him to Messi, isn’t that an insult.

This guy should just retire. A 41 year old crying on tv on almost every match day is absurd. 5 touches in 85 minutes he played, zero in every other stats yet his fan want us to believe his team mates let him down. SMH

Nemesis0147:
no be only open game….he was not playing anything!!
He was clueless

Open game is Ancelotti’s best tactics that’s why he like old and experienced players, they are the only ones that can make use of that tactics on the pitch. Open game is score me I score you and then with my quality and experienced players I will still win you.

KingAzubuike:
I sha know say if na rosemary, we for don lose this match sha

Rosenior was playing open game with inexperienced players.

odizeey:
I wonder why you are Chelsea fan? This level of glazing is embarrassing.

Where is the glazing here? To be best doesn’t mean greatest but they are the best in Europe football culture wise.

Hot take:
If this Chelsea owners don’t get themselves together on time the club will get relegated in few coming seasons. Sign young players but at same time established ones should be the priority for first team. Caceido need an established mobile CM to pair with. Guehi was supposed to be signed back. Palmer was supposed to be more focused on offensive play but Maresca turned him into Bernardo sylva instead of Leicester Mahrez. Turning him into sylva is supposed to be good but you have average attackers and he was the only decent one before maresca came. Go get Stones from man city if you don’t want to spend big due to wages. Sign Stones and Murillo of Nothingham Forest. Sell Badiashile and Tosin. Loan out Acheampong. Chalobah or fofana can play as third choice RB when needed against lower teams in carabao or FA cup.

Hot take:
Barcelona is the best football club. Those who are real lovers of this sport know this. I mean a club that produced Messi and now Yamal should be the best football club. Real Madrid bought their super stars with a lot of corruption in the past. E.g, Di Stefano forcefully gotten from Barcelona. Camp nou is like a holy ground/vatican city because of Messi, for those that have being there will understand what I am saying.

Joezinho:
Oohhh. Na henssben. No need

I mean because of players like this football fans who don’t have love for the game now judge quality players by number of goals scored, it wasn’t so before but because Messi won four ballon d or in a roll Perez of Real Madrid have to influence it to team trophies and who won ucl so that cr7 can have a chance. This made cr7 over estimated himself. When he asked for pay rise Perez remind him he is the one pushing him and not the other way round. He left to juventus and Modric won the ballon d or. There was no season cr7 was better than Messi in overall play of the game. Nedved n co won ballon d or because of individual talent and overall play those seasons. No one ever called Bican greatest player of all time because of number of goals scored until cr7 and his fans came, they couldn’t handle Messi’s talent on the pitch because he destroyed both Man U and Real Madrid. They started pushing irrelevant agenda to crown the greatest footballer of all time. Overall impact on a team to success messi, Pele, de Lima Ronaldo, cruyf, maradona did way more better than cr7. cr7 has never carry any team to glory in his career, he used the team’s strive(all thanks to kroos, Casemiro, Modric, Benzema, bale and di maria who actually play for the team) to refurbished himself. He is an international tournament flop and his deluded fans want us to believe he is the greatest. Modric led Croatia to wc final and has won player of the tournament, Diego Forlan too. Eusebio of Portugal too have won player of the tournament for Portugal but cr7 fan will tell you it’s because Portugal is not a strong nation, as if they are in the level of Angola. Portugal won euro without cr7. His international goals mostly came from qualifiers because Luxemburg, Latvia, Moldavia and Cyprus are there to stat pad with.

Frankie

Congrats super Frank. Because of him I am now watching more of division two games and they are even more entertaining than epl.

Note: If this sport called football have to move forward and more more entertaining clubs have to stopped producing players like Mbappe and Cr7. They belong to one man sport and not team sport. They are sprinters who spam shot and then make noise all over social media space, and now we have so many fans who don’t love football but just support clubs or players because it is what is invoke so players like mbappe and cr7 will always have these type of fans since they can stir up controversies on internet after disrupting their team’s chances of progressing. I mean look at psg after mbappe left and now look at Real Madrid. We need to stop promoting players like cr7 and mbappe as the next best thing after slice bread when their talent is affecting the sport.

Hot take that is really not hot take:

Dmebele is a better footballer than Mbappe. Mbappe used ego like his idol to make himself seem like the best player in this new generation. Dembele is more of a team player than him. He plays for the team unlike Mbappe that the team have to adjust for to shine, in other words, the team have to suffer if Mbappe has to shine and football is not lawn tennis it is a team sport.

This guy is the truth to our midfield. Sell Enzo to Real Madrid, get camavinga and this guy and we will look formidable again.
