Beijing time on February 28: No one thought that after just half a season. After Messi and C Ronaldo joined the new owner, the public opinion wind comment was completely reversed. At last summer's transfer window, two blockbuster deals shocked the entire European football scene. Argentine striker Lionel Messi left Barcelona, where he played for more than a dozen seasons, to become a member of Paris Saint-Germain. It was also the argentine's first career transfer.
Immediately after the Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo announced his return to Old Trafford, the first two sides also replaced the new home team at the end of their careers. The replacement of the new home team means that it must be looked at by the outside world, especially after the two join the new team. These are the focus of attention of the outside media and fans. After the start of the new season, it is obvious that Ronaldo's wind evaluation is much better than Messi.' C Ronaldo himself is a player who has walked out of Manchester United, and he is more familiar with the Premier League. So after Ronaldo returned to Manchester United, it looked like a seamless connection.
In a short period of time, C Ronaldo has also become the top scorer in the team, and has performed well in the Premier League and the Champions League. Messi, on the other hand, although he is also very efficient in the Champions League, 5 goals in 5 games. But his goal in the league was very difficult, and there was an embarrassing situation of scoring only one goal in half a year. Therefore, outside public opinion generally believes that everywhere C Ronaldo goes is seamless, and Messi will appear as it once he leaves the Barca system. But as the season progresses, as well as into 2022.
The performance and situation of the two have been reversed, Messi is after all a superstar who has won 7 Golden Ball Awards, how can there be a team that he can't adapt to? After entering 2022, Messi is in a state of explosion. Messi has scored 10 goals in all competitions this year, which is very efficient. In the just-concluded league, facing Saint-Etienne Messi scored twice to help the team win. 7 goals and 10 assists in 23 games, although not comparable to its peak, such data is already luxurious enough. For Messi, according to his current pace, it is no problem to break 10 in both end-of-season stats, and even assists can try to touch the threshold of 20.
In the face of Messi's recovery, even Cassano and his family excitedly said that God really existed. In stark contrast, C Luo's situation, after entering 2022, C Luo's state has plummeted. In the 10 games currently played, Cristiano Ronaldo has only scored one goal and has no assists. For a forward center with the right to fire, such data can be described as bleak.
In recent games, it is obvious that C Ronaldo's physical fitness on the pitch is somewhat overdrawn, and his state is not good. The Premier League is not a veteran-friendly league, and Cristiano Ronaldo is starting to struggle here. British Sky Sports commentator Thomas once said that when he just returned to the Premier League, the Premier League defenders were not familiar with Ronaldo's offensive routine. Now that they have fully adapted, they only need to clamp C Ronaldo's position hard and give him a little more confrontation, so at this stage, the Portuguese will not make any waves in the penalty area.
Unable to hold the ball, lacking physical explosiveness and unable to break through with the ball, these are all scenes that Ronaldo will stage in every game now. I don't know if this time the tenacious Portuguese will have a chance to improve his status back and respond to the outside world's doubts about him.
