Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo have been the focus of fans all over the world for nearly a decade, and the two are widely regarded as the two best players in the world, winning 11 of the last 12 Ballon d'Or awards. However, the two men are considered to have very different personalities, and Ronaldo has always been considered more open and likes to show himself, often making a voice in the media, and he never hides his desire to be the greatest player and his motivation to pursue personal honors. But Messi is usually a more conservative character, which is interpreted by the outside world as low-key modesty. But, over the past week, both players have sent out angry direct messages suggesting they may be more similar than they are willing to admit and more consistent in upholding individual honors.
It has been reported that when Messi and C Ronaldo feel that they have not received the honor they deserve, they will express their dissatisfaction in the media and claim that they are the best in the world. Last week, former Liverpool player and Sky Sports commentator Carrago revealed on Monday night football show that a distraught Messi contacted him via Instagram, and Messi called Carragher a "stupid donkey" through a private message.
Carragher explained: "At the beginning of the season, I had some impressions of Cristiano Ronaldo, I don't think it was a successful signing for Manchester United, and I also cited the example of Messi, because Messi was also not a successful signing for Paris Saint-Germain. But after Monday night's soccer game, I received a private message on Instagram. It was sent by the man (Messi) himself. I obviously don't disclose the content of his private messages, but he basically calls me a stupid ass in private messages. ”
Just a few days later, football valuation website Transfermarkt revealed that they also received a message from one of the greatest footballers of all time. The site's director revealed that they had assessed Ronaldo's worth of £67.5 million during his time at Juve, which was the fourth-best value in Serie A at the time, behind Eriksen, Lautaro Martinez and Paul Dybala. Although the C Ronaldo ranked highest among players of his age group, he was still furious and used social media to privately contact the German official.
Daniel Busch, the official UK manager of the German turn, told Sport: "We have a list of 10 players aged 33 and over on Instagram, and Ronaldo is still number one in value, but he says he must be worth more. Another German transfer manager, Christian Schwartz, added: "He (Ronaldo) first sent a message of inquiry to our social media staff. We replied to him with the reason and told him, 'You're the first in your age group.' And the advantage with the second place is obvious, and then C Luo sent a smiling expression to our staff, which blocked us. ”
