Simeone: Messi Plays Better In Attacking Team; Ronaldo Can Simplify Match by obembet(op): 3:23pm On May 11, 2019
Diego Simeone was keen to clarify his statements made during a leaked conversation he had about Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.

During the World Cup in Russia last summer, Simeone seemed to imply that he preferred the Portuguese forward to his compatriot in a audio on WhatsApp that found its way to the press.

"What I consider is that in a team with fewer solutions, Ronaldo is a better fit because he provides many solutions," Simeone began.

"For a team which focuses on football, Messi is much better.

"We are talking about very fine margins of how a team plays," he stated.

"Cristiano can decide a game in a different way, he doesn't need ten attacks. He scored two headers against us and we were out," the Atletico boss said.

Simeone went on to speak of the subtle differences between the two world superstars.

"Both need a team but the differences are very small.

"Lionel, in an attacking team always plays better. The other [Ronaldo] can win a game in two actions, he simplifies the situations.

"Messi is mesmerising because he plays elaborate football.

"Leo plays in a team that compliments all of his talent. He always ends up finding solutions," he concluded.

cool

These comparisons and differences aren't needed.

Ronaldo and Messi are absolutely the best soccer has produced for a while now. I'm happy for the privilege to have watched both.

truth, Ronaldo can win you matches alone, can make things work out for himself.
All through the years, I've enjoyed watching both players play, as both players are exceptional and both are gods.
In the end all I see is people spending years arguing and arguing over who's the best when all that should've been done is, dit back just relax and enjoy these two guys do their thing.
Take it from me, most of the times we've failed to enjoy their abilities because we're too blind to see how goof they are all because we choose to be fanboys.
Years after these two stop playing football, when generations come will hear of their exploits and wish they witnessed it, then when we can't see players to emulate these two players, you'd look back thinking, “Damn! I should've just enjoyed them instead of comparing and letting favouritism blind me”

If you play PES you will understand this man's point. I normally bench Messi because he doesn't just fit in to certain style of play even though he has the best stats. I feel sorry for coaches sometimes cos you may have a very good player who doesn't fit into your style of play.
