Now that's where you missed it. Who is a complete player? A player that has mastered the act of it in all dimensions: Left leg, Right leg, Head, Chest, Backheel, Free Kick, Penalty etc. The ability of CR7 to standout in all these areas makes him standout. If the world of football included penalty as part of the game I really do not understand your pain. Respect him and move on, you think Messi will forever be happy for missing that golden chance of winning an international trophy for his country on penalty?

It's a lie. A complete player is the one who is consistent with almost all football skills.,ranging from passing, dribbling, chance created, shooting, placing, heading, freekicks, and others.

What happened to Messi in Copa America final has happened to Ronaldo too in champions league final. He got covered by team mates.Thats why it's not often said and referenced.

Fuckthamods:
Good, if the dwarf had trained too he would have won an int trophy by now

It's not special. Ronaldo has lost penalties in great matches. He even lost in champions league final. As hard as he trains, he Messi only lost six more than him.

realray:
Don't let them decieve u we're brothers yoruba and Igbo but they know what our unity will do that's why they apply divide and rule tactics, listen we must come together as one and deal with a common enemy...

Forget this, if Igbo leaders cannot take a step or act base on this singular action of Buhari, they are bastards and coward that don't deserve to be called leaders.

Calling them Ipob
Calling them a dot in the circlr
Reiterated his Stance on force on them.

This is very inhuman and pathetic!

Chicagoesontop:
Gadiola truly didn't treat Aguro right in his last days for the club, Aguero should have started the final match with Chelsea since it's his last game for the club.

I pray Aguero will wax strong in Barcelona to the shame of Gadiola.

How did Chelsea treat Lampard, Terry, Willian and others at 33. What of Ronaldo, Ramos and Pẹpẹ at Madrid? It's a common sense that only few teams respect platers at 33. Players demand much at their prime and team also demand more when they pay high but its not possible to satisfy all

ABANGWABOI:
Dmitri Seluk's curse on Pep, due to his Toure's treatment has been hunting him since then..
No more European success for him no matter where he coaches...

That's probably for a loser. And Guardiola and loser are not compatible as far as football is concerned.

Cursing him to be successful or European success. Has Guardiola won Champions league or not?

You can tell that to a coach like Wenger, Conte and others not Guardiola that wọn it twice and in the league of football greats like Ferguson, Ancelotti, Mourinho and others.

Imaging cursing someone with over 30 trophies.

When Sane left City, who did Guardiola curse. When Neymar left Barca, who did Barca curse? Its a matter of business. You stay when I like you and you also stay when you like.

It's a business ooo

FA13:
Pep seems to have a kind of hatred for old player. Kun is not the first.

He likes developing and using younger guys...

Kun has limited playing time this season. He should have used experienced pointman like Kun for the final.

He really bleeped up

Just imagine Guardiola waiting for Aguero when they were misfiring. What would have happened to the team. Had they won Champions league, no one would be talking this shit. Few people talk about a player when a team fails but their coach.

Guardiola makes the best decisions for himself and he is entitled to it.

If he does not win Champions league again in his life, he is in Ferguson's class. I think that is enough for him jàre! Let people continue to rant.

BabaIbo:
Fvck off... Christiano Ronaldo played in EPL before Spain and Italy.

A good player is a good player irrespective of the league.

League-wise, EPL is the best.

EPL is actually the best now going by the current form. But going by history and consistency in recent years, La liga is better. You always think EPL is the best in all ramifications but not so. Supporter of other league know that economy and publicity including intensity, EPL is head but technically, EPL is inferior to La liga. The recent struggle of la liga teams is due to inability to reinforce last two years. Aston Villa spent more than Barca in the last transfer market in summer. So it tells on them all.
For now, Premier league is better but not in history.

Your problem!

Your opinion holds no water.

It's like that in football if you want to leave. Management or the player will be affected. It happens everywhere.
Lampard
Terry
Eto
Ibra
Ramos
Willian
Suarez

Mikelarteta:
Hate him or like him, this guy is the real GOAT. Am not really a fan of his, but I can tell you he is incredibly talented. Played in the top 3 leagues in the world and has broken records and still doing so. Messi is like a La liga Champion to me, he should explore just like CR7, then I can respect him.

Nothing special in changing teams the way Ibrahimovic has been doing without champions league nor Ballon'dor.

Higuain left Madrid for Napoli and won highest goal scorer In Napoli and Juventus.

The greatest players ever which Ronaldo also admires played majorly for single club. Not even in Europe.

So what you like I may not like it. I like one that doesn't run from challenge!
Nothing specia

EdiskyHarry:
The greatest player on the planet earth. He is always ready to take challenge anyway.

Àbí, running from challenge? Stop that joor

If dictionary definition of skills and dribbling is what to go by, Messi is by far ahead of others. I have argued it with people but got disappointed when we consult stats on Google. He is no one, miles above others.

babakb:
Only if Atalanta and Napoli win their next two matches.

Besides Cr7 has 5 UCL titles already, so even if they don't qualify it's nothing, and he is finishing the season as Seria A Top Scorer...

It's not a special thing for Madrid, Ronaldo and Messi but highly important for Juventus. That's the definition of another challenge and what Ronaldo fans say about Messi. If he plays Europa league or carries Juventus to Europa league, the validity of moving around is defeated,because it will amount to failure.

Luigi02:
Fabio Quagliarella (38 years old) won the highest goal scorer ahead of Cr7 last two seasons, he was far older than him. So friend, there's nothing special about it. Try minusing the tapins and penalty and seej if he isn't left with --0.00 goals

That's why they tell you that he needs to carry others along. Football is all about team. Individually, Ronaldo is a beast but when it comes to team, he is a big scam.


Great players scores, assist, create, dribble and do others, Ronaldo scores high only in goals but but he fails in others.

Mind you, you cannot fight for him because you didn't share glory with him when he excels. His performance will do it.

Mikeangelo0433:
Another example is Cr7 fans attributing Messi's genius to Iniesta, Xavi, Dani Alvez, Neymar, Suarez e.t.c but failing to acknowledge that Cr7 greatness too is down to the likes of Mesut Ozil, Sergio Ramos Marcelo, Benzema e.t.c.

Even Alex Ferguson, Ronaldo fan says Ronaldo will perform well anywhere regardless of quality of players. So they want people to be quiet when challenge challenges the challenger. Its unfortunate. If its Messi, they will say worse.

I know these people defending Ronaldo will blame Neymar when Man City beat PSG

phr0nesis:
When they were busy employing bad coaches, how do you expect them to perform well

Three bad coaches you say? Don't be naive dude!

EmekaBlue:
Mourinho don go round

Job just full for am yakpa

Rich man

Roma na job for elite job or Mourinho CV is getting low?

Elite coach can go to a team like Roma when his performance is no longer good.

Heathrow44:
Mtcheew somebody that moved from Barcelona and entered Man city is wat u re hyping, Y hasn't he won the UEFA champions league with man city and Barcelona during his time?? Mourinho is the better coach don't write off his records as the special one cos of the messy phases he's currently experiencing, His job with FC Porto, Real Madrid and Man U would speak of itself, ! mourinho is amongst the greatest coaches in the world well above pep? Champions leagues is one of the decisions to take into consideration wen talking of coaching, Mourinho has seen more champions leagues finals than pep would ever dream of!

Must everyone do what Mourinho does? Has Mourinho done what others have done? Where did Alex Ferguson win the two Champions league he won? How many years did he spend to do it?

If you can answer these questions correctly, your headache about Guardiola is gone. Pẹ̀lẹ́!

bensowe:
Dude, Pep has spent over a billion plus on players than any other coach, he is successful today because of over spending not because he is a good coach. Check his transfer history

Guardiola started the way Hazard and Pirlo started. Where are they now?

Mind you Guardiola is not a buying coach but Man City since 2008.

Go and check it, no one spends higher than then till Guardiola came and they continued under Guardiola.

Guardiola first year at Barca, he sold 12 players and bought only two, Keita and Dánì Alves.

Go and check how much he spent at Bayern too, it is only in Man City where he spends anyhow because teams sell players for City based on their status

chiefdiye:
those who fought for Biafra then, where are they? they die trying with no success.....your mazi day abroad so nothing go affect am, Ibo Make una use una head

Exactly! Only a fool does something all over again without tangible result of the same failed result.

Igbo approach has not worked, it is not presently working, and why should Yorùbá emulate it?

Veggieseedies:
I don't know why yorubas make southern unification impossible with their hatred on Igbo. But they are treated like rats no matter the position try occupy in the country. They betray Igbos for meaningless positions.

I just wish they can receive sense

If Yorùbá people betray because of inconsequential positions, that's understandable what do you now say about Igbo that champion betrayal of Igbo for nothing? Your governors, Lauratha, and others.


Don't you see how long it took them to organise amotekun equivalent. You know the amount of opposition.
In fight is only for the masses, people like Imo Governor will see no reason for Nigeria breakage.


You are parochial to know that no matter how bad a government is, it will still have people that benefit from it.

Your sentiment not to acknowledge this will make you more tribalistic worse than Buhari, when you happen to be the president.


I am never in support of one Nigeria and will never do.

jizzison:
It is you that ENVY kill mercilessly without remorse.

Where in my statement showed that I hate Mancity?

I'm among those who wanted them to shock PSG and they did it superbly.

In my comment, I laid emphasis on the difficulty of Man City turning the game around in the 2nd half based on what we witnessed in the 1st half and directed my comments to those who BELIEVE man city could pull such a great result away from home. Infact Mancity started pulling strings together towards the end of the 1st half then came out guns blazing in the 2nd.

The guy whom I replied honestly gave his opinion based on the mistakes PSG made relating the game to the avalanche of missed opportunities during Liverpool vs Madrid at Anfield.

Where's the hate in giving your opinion on what a particular team should've done to prevent their loss?

From your comments with all these childish emotional words you used it's certain that you're the one blindfolded with hatred. Nincompoop!

The way some of you quote and reply someone on this nairaland ehnn.

Cry me a river you idiot. Since Man City has been playing teams hands down and eventually lost deu to errors, who have come out to praise them.


Deal with it, guy. They had their plan and utilised it well. If you don't like it go and hug a transformer.

jizzison:
You're so on point bro.

Na envy go kill you. Chelsea did not get a win away yesterday and we knew how much noise they made.

Man City played them hand down. Go and read match stats before you are blindfolded with hatred.

byrron:
If I was Haaland, I won't near EPL League because defenders will neutralize him and he will become an expensive ornament for decorative purposes.

It's not English teams but Pep teams. You can beat them when their plan fail but he knows how to neutralise strikers by imposing his pattern on them. Ronaldo played five matches before could get a goal against a prime Barca. It does not mean that they are not good.

ayzTIGER:
Considering the depth of his squad most coaches will simply do what he is doing. They brought him to city to win them Champions League which he has failed to do for seasons.

No wonder Chelsea sack Lampard. If it's by money alone, Mourinho will still be in United till today because he and Guardiola were spending almost at the same rate that time but his style does not last. He left Tottenham becauss of what? That is just few of many examples. Have you seen Pirlo now? Where has the five players he signed taken him to?


Before they can trust you with money, there must be trust and confidence.

Guardiola is the best whether you like it or not?

Taiwojon:
so you mean you are irrelevant

well I am relevant

but true be say pep cannot win champion league until he apologize openly to yaya toure and to all africa before he can.

the africa curse is still on him

well I still pray he win the champion league
I am not looking for his downfall or anyone downfall just stating the obvious

I wish you success as I wish myself success

Apologise for what? Have you read it recently how Toure has been running up and down to apologise. What di he do? You can only tell that to a coach that is struggling or the one that has never won it before. If only any coach can do what Pep has done, they can never be sacked.

Won league Cup this ssason
Premier league in the bag already
Still in champions league semi finals


You are the one that needs help ooo!

frankson1:
This is what I tried explaining to him.

Alexis Sanchez wasn't playing for Man. U but his weekly package was insane. How many games has Juan Mata played this season but he still goes home with his weekly pay.
How can they continue to keep and pay players who are not productive?

SAF always had the experienced and inexperienced in his squad. Ronaldo played along side Giggs, McTominay Played with Carrick, he had Smalling and Evans with Vidic and Rio. Da Sylva brothers either side with Neville and Evra. But this current coaches want to have 'world class' players as their first and second eleven.
You know how much Man. City defense cost sometimes ago.

Wesley Sneidjer didn't play for Man. U only because Man. U wasn't ready to pay the huge fee Inter Milan were asking for but guess what.. Man. U still went on to lift the the league title.

Clubs should first cut their spendings and stop blaming UEFA for their debts.

You only mention the few of the players. What about the ones Ferguson get from other teams?

I remember Berbatov, Rooney and others. Look around, it's still happening today but there is depreciation of value. This current chelsea:

Zouma
Mount
Jamea
ABRHAM
Christensen

blasterman:
Thats is the game of football and the business. Competition and qualification by merit, its like Lesotho crying to qualify for afcon when they came last in qualifying

Leeds, Newcastle Blackburn used to be reigning in premiership, they bought wrongly and couldnt win the titles.

Nobody is guaranteed top 4, when i started watching soccer Man city was as useless as Sheffield united. infact they got relegated now they are on top.


According to Arsene wenger the money coming into football from tv is sufficient, Real Madrid and Barca paying the highest amount in salary- or have the highest wage bill for any club in the world. how can they then not run into debt. the higest paid coach is in la liga. TV money is not following into Laliga like premiership because of low competition.

Messi wanted to leave Barca , MAn city and PSG were ready to buy but they refused selling now they are crying.

Madrid is paying Gareth Bale 600000K $ per week and he was on the bench for 2 seasons.


Thats y ppl praise Alex Feguson and say he is the greatest coach because he was able to raise academy players and turn them into world beaters.

Thats what Ajax did when they won champions league.

Real Mdarid and Juventus they like finished product or top quality but it cost money

What are you saying exactly, one can lose the count of how many stars Ferguson hijacked from other teams in Premier league. The truth is that when Man United were buying, you can't even drag with them because they are stronger than others and their names is even another attraction on its own. The only difference is that there was no inflation that time. Money had value unlike now.

Kingcalls:
Of which 30 of those trophies are either la liga or copa de rey , Spanish super cup

Which ones do other players win?

Heaven Champions league Àbí?

[quote author=kenzysmith post=100914075][/quote]Liverpool is an improvement to Dortmund now. Don't you know that Liverpool almost won league a year before Klopp got there when Suarez, Sterling and Sturidge dazzled for the Red that year.

So, you don't compare Liverpool to Dortmund. Klopp will never pray to go down unless his fortune nosedives like the way some coaches do.

Guardiola too will not want go down to level of Tottenham. Besides, do you know the number of European Big teams that have queeed to hire Pep. He is a super genius until his performance proves otherwise. He just said the number of time Abramovich has come calling him to come to Chelsea. Six times. Go and read the news.

kenzysmith:
If gaurdiola can succeed when ever he go let he go and coach Tottenham, acmillan, or atlehico Madrid not going to already made teams and be wearing mufty forming kloop

He will do that when his value depreciates
For now, his cv merit bigger teams with great ambitions. Mourinho could not be told to manage Totenham ten years ago. The whole world will curse anyone that opines that against Mourinho. But now, his value has depreciated to level of Tottenham. So, no first class citizen prays to be third class unles unpalatable circumstances warrant it.
