To find the best the main last decade, two names have dominated world football (soccer) a lot more than any others; Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. These great rivals have broken countless football records, scored insane number of goals and pushed each other all the way to greatness even though that they are two very different football players, playing two very different styles in two very different roles for 2 different clubs. The only thing that really connects both may be the ocean of ability that separates them from the rest of the players in the world. There can be no question regarding perhaps the duo belongs in the pantheon of football all-time greats anymore. Although any effort to find out the greatest footballer ever is at the mercy of generational bias, it ought to be noted that Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo aren’t individually or collectively the greatest football player[s] ever as a result of following reasons;

Cristiano is not the most effective ‘Ronaldo’ to play the game: Despite his unparalleled achievement in and off the field of play, Cristiano Ronaldo remains not considered the most effective Ronaldo to have played the game. Ronaldo de Assisi (also known as Ronaldinho) and Ronaldo de Lima (the phenomenon) are another ‘Ronaldos’ whose legendary attacking prowess is often compared to Cristiano Ronaldo’s. Ronaldo de Lima was an even more explosive and complete striker who’d have in all probability been the ‘World’s Best Striker Ever’ if he had stayed injury-free in his footballing career, while Ronaldinho was the entertainer who, at his peak, constantly wowed the footballing world. Cristiano Ronaldo is better than other ‘Ronaldos’ in terms of constituency over time, phenomenal goal-scoring rates, overall fitness and prolonged career (due to low rate of injuries) but also for sheer skill, explosiveness, superior technical ability, and the ‘wow’ factor, both ‘Ronaldos’ are better than Cristiano Ronaldo.

Lionel Messi is not the most effec https://gpr24.pl/artykul/pruszkow-na-wakacjach/1324900 tive ever Argentine player: It is a well-known proven fact that for a footballer to be the most effective ever on the planet, he must be the most effective ever footballer in his country and sadly, Lionel Messi isn’t both. Lionel Messi is not the most effective football player Argentina has produced. That honor visits Diego Armando Maradona. Maradona (widely regarded together of the greatest football players ever) is a footballing legend that inspired Argentina to a world cup victory and S.S.C. Napoli (in the Italian Football League) to its first and second League title [Scudetti] in its history. He’s the scorer of the world’s most dubious goal (the ‘Hand of God’ goal) and the FIFA Goal of the Century. There is virtually a cult around the player in Argentina. Diego Maradona (and Pele) may be the benchmark for the illustrious South American nation whenever a new star comes onto the block. So, while Messi has dazzled on the European stage, passing milestone after milestone and picking right up loads of awards, his countrymen regard him since the country’s second best football player ever.

Both players have never won the World Cup: Although the latter rounds of the modern-day UEFA Champions League would rival the FIFA World Cup in terms of quality, with talents from around the globe increasingly concentrated in the hands of an elite few, the World Cup still retains substantial symbolic value as a quadrennial competition which pit the most effective of one nation against the most effective of another. It’s no secret Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo have never won (or inspired their respective countries to win) the FIFA World Cup. Cristiano Ronaldo has won an European Cup (The Euros) along with his home country, Portugal but hasn’t gone to the semi-finals or the finals of the World Cup while Lionel Messi was underwhelming in the 2014 world cup semi-final and final along with his home country Argentina eventually losing to Germany. The World (and Messi) was shocked when he was named the most effective player and awarded the Golden Ball of the tournament. Lionel Messi can be a three-time runner-up in the Copa America competition with Argentina. Most football players such as for example Zinedine Zidane, Pele, Diego Maradonna, Ronaldinho, Ronaldo de Lima etc. often touted since the world’s best ever football player all played dominant roles in the World Cup tournament they eventually won. The same can not be said presently of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.

They’re not Football’s best Goal-scorers ever: Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are efficient, effective and phenomenal goal scorers boasting amazing goal per match ratio but they aren’t one of the five best goal scorers in football history. Neither of them have scored up a lot more than 700 goals within their respective careers so they cannot take the company of great players such as for example Pele, Romario, Josef Bican, Ferenc Puskas (he includes a FIFA goal-scoring award named after him), Gerd Muller. The rate of scoring of those legendary players is more impressive than that of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo given they ended their footballing careers with goal tallies well into the 800s. So if scoring goals are why is footballers great, Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, having better players boasting better goal tallies ahead of them, can not be the greatest footballers of all time.
