C. Ronaldo is so overrated !!!
- Thread starter 5LLoD
- Start date
Wikipedia speaks in numbers:
appearances goals
2009– Real Madrid 69 (73)
To be honest I never knew he's made goals in that good percentage, but as we all know La Liga is boring 2 horse race where Real / Barca compete on who can win other teams with bigger margin and where a draw is catastrophe to either team.

I'm sorry but Ronaldo is the best player on the planet for me, he has everything, speed, strength, heading ability, shooting, free kicks and skill. He is the complete attacking player. He should run rings round your players like he does in real life! He is proven in 2 leagues, many say foreign players struggle here against our physical game, not a problem for him.
Defending and not getting back are his week points but he isn't used for that anyway.

^Messi is FAR, better. This is coming from someone who doesn't care about la liga because he is a Juve supporter. 
Messi is much more decisive than Ronaldo because if he can't score, he'll invent a wonderful assist to his teamate. Messi is also a teamplayer unlike Ronaldo.
Ronaldo WITH ALL HIS TRICKS AND EYE CANDY STUFF, DOES NOT BEAT DEFENDERS LIKE MESSI DOES. Messi beats defenders much more often and at times he takes on 3 at a time. Yes, Ronaldo is a complete player, but he is still not as decisive as Messi when it comes to teamplaying and individual abilities.
And about physicality. Strength is not a big issue in football. BALANCE is. And Messi's balance in incredible. He proved himself countless times against English clubs.

I wasn't comparing Ronaldo to Messi... But as good as Messi is though, he is in the worlds best team and playing in La Liga... Bring him to the Premiership and would he be as good? Not so sure. Ronaldo carries his team! Ronaldo won World player of the year at Man Utd who were no where near the level of Barca! Scored 40 odd goals in a season in England. In England strength is important! Which is what Messi is lacking... He might get 20 or even 30 goals in England but wouldn't get over 40 for sure.

MESSI DOMINATED MAN UTD 2 TIMES AND COMPLETLY WIPED OUT ARSENAL 2 times. Seriously the Premiership is OVERRATED. Sorry to say it, but it's the truth. EVERY LEAGUE HAS IT'S OWN DIFFICULTIES.
And yes he is with the best team in the world but to play for that team, you have to be a teamplayer and Ronaldo isn't one.
Also Messi is not strong? Again your argument falls because you simply do not watch messi enough. He is strong enough to do it, BUT HIS BALANCE IS INCREDIBLE. Something which is forgotten by many people. Strength alone is not worth it in football, Balance however is that important. IT DOES NOT MATTER IF A PLAYER IS SMALL, get it in your head. Strength doesn't come in sizes.
You should watch messi more often then because you can clearly see that his balance makes him extremely HARD to stop because he simply does not fall easy.

The Prem isn't overrated. It is very physical, however Messi has proved that he can cope with that.
I think you have to look at the overall package, including the attitude of the player. Ronaldo is incredibly arrogant and petulant, which gives him a considerable mark down in my book.
You also have to look at the performances when Madrid play Barca. 90% of the time, Messi prevails, Ronaldo fails.

Well didnt see anything of that tuesday when we beat Portugal 2-1. He totally sucked. Then i threw himself on the floor and got a free kick. Rubbish and he scored. What a little crybaby.

Chill out man, jesus
What is even the meaning of this video? Does this video prove anything? I don't think so. So, for you, one bad game from one single player proves he isn't good. What an intelligent person you are, let me tell you.:bravo:

Yawn, what a boring thread. Let me be a hypocrite though by joining the debate...
Someone mentioned Messi wouldn't score 40+ goals in England. Well, neither did Ronaldo. And Messi didn't score 40 league goals in Spain either, so I'm not sure why that point was raised.
And so what if Messi plays in the best team in the world. At the time, Ronaldo played in the best team in the world at Man U. And right now Real Madrid is arguably the 2nd-3rd best team in the world, so I don't buy that argument.
And before anyone raises the national team argument, Ronaldo fails even more in this aspect so save yourself the trouble.
Another thing: Ronaldo isn't exceptionally good at free kicks. I mean he takes like an average of 5 per game, and only 1 or 2 even go on target. Over a season he probably shoots over 200 free kicks, of which only a handful go in. Messi doesn't score as many free kicks but when he does take them, generally they are on target or at least dangerous. Ronaldo's free kicks are much more spectacular, but pure free kick 'skill' I'd say Messi is better.

Not sure what on earth you're trying to say, but if you're suggesting Messi can't header, is not as good at dribbling as Ronaldo and is not fast without the ball, then I think you're veeery wrong.
