@Moe 90% is facts and analysis and 10% is attacking the other person :) I agree 100% with analysis especially that maradona if you watch his games used to always play the simple passes.
@Khaled: Shakle la3 i3lak ma3ak il yom ana... Ronaldo has a number of trophies to back what up??? the ones he won with portugal? if you are talking about the champions legaue with man utd... dont you remember it was a terrible performance by him and he missed a penalty?
Messi is an excellent player, don't get me wrong but you can not compare him as a talent to maradona... maradona was a leader, he was a player who can destroy teams single handedly but used the whole team to do it.. Messi has xavi and iniesta who allow him to move.. in argentina he couldn't create space for himself because he didn't have those players. he played well though but not to expectations...
Ofcourse you would pick ronaldo over van bommel, but when you limit ronaldo to a specific role.. he is not a player you can give a free role.. to me a gifted player is the one who you can give a free role, a great player in important games, a difference maker.. not a sissy who doesn't even have confidence in his own plays he tries to score as much penalties as he can and easy goals....
You can't judge Ronaldo based on a single game performance. We all remembered how Gattuso tamed him in both legs, bass let's give this guy credit. He does have the numbers to back his game up, at least on the club level. Plus, I don't need to be an advocate of his, especially when Fergie and Mourinho build their team around this guy. Sure now he has Ozil and co. but it's a team sport man, you want him to single handedly win games?? This guy has already scored 13 goals this season! He had 47 (I think) in his championship year at Man U. This guy is explosive. You have to put aside your hate for his showboating and classless acts and dives and simply judge his play.
ReplyDeleteMan have you seen the goals he scored with real madrid.. killon tofnees. if you want to talk effictevness, inzaghi scores the same goals he has been scoring...
ReplyDeleteim not saying he is not good. he is excellent.. i would love to have him on my team.. bas he is not world class.. he will never be like ronaldo, romario, baggio..... he lacks something... like henry. henry was great bas he was a big match flop and is lacking when u compare him to ronaldo... the real ronaldo.... if you want to talk about records.. ronaldo has never won a champions league, and i think maybe he won 1 championship with real... bas can you doubt that he is a better player than c.ronaldo and henry.. in the end it is the team that wins, not the individual player. bas u need the individual player to make the team win when they are down and need help in big games...
