If there is a contrast, there will be harm.
In the past decade or so, Messi and Ronaldo have worked together to define this era of football, but the hero will eventually be late, no matter how hard you work, how self-disciplined, you will never be able to beat the pig-killing knife of the years. When the absolute double pride enters the end of their careers, the erosion of the years is slowly weakening the bodies of the two, even if they do not serve the old, they must admit this fact.
In the past week, Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo have experienced the darkest moments of their careers.
Manchester United was once again beaten by Manchester City in the Manchester City derby, C Ronaldo was absent due to injury to avoid this fiasco, but after the game, the media broke out that C Ronaldo went straight back to Portugal on the grounds of "recuperation" after learning that he did not enter the starting lineup, and even the news that Manchester United did not participate in Saturday's team dinner made C Ronaldo fall into the cusp of the storm again this season.
Although Manchester United are silent, everyone knows that there must be something wrong with The Manchester United's dressing room, and the root of all this points to Ronaldo.
Paris overturned the ship again in the Champions League quarter-finals, the good promotion situation was ruined, and Messi's walking style of play in the game completely angered the fans of Greater Paris, and the scene of public admiration at the beginning of the season has become a cloud, and Messi is now facing the biggest crisis of his career.
Reversed by Real Madrid, Messi has been eliminated in the Champions League for 7 consecutive seasons after leaving Xavi and Iniesta. Although the Champions League final four and quarterfinals are still a good result, in the process of being eliminated 7 times, Messi has become the background emperor of Barca's 0-3 defeat to Roma, 0-4 defeat to Liverpool's 2 super reversals, and swallowed the 2-8 defeat to Bayern. And when The GreatEr Paris was out of the Champions League, the spiritual attributes of the Argentine king were once again criticized.
As a result, the fate of the two generations of arrogance was intertwined again this weekend.
Cristiano Ronaldo returned from injury and appeared vividly in the starting lineup against Tottenham Hotspur. Recovering from injury in just one week, United gave reasons why they could not play due to injury, apparently to cover up. C Ronaldo's "recovery" returned, and the shot was a hat-trick of the overhead kick, which not only tore apart Tottenham's defenders with his own strength, but also filled in the big hole dug by the Manchester United defenders.
After 13 years of hat-tricks, he also knocked on the door with a kill! Needless to say, the media and fans were all worshippers after the game! Although C Ronaldo is still Manchester United's current problem, he is still the current life-saving pill for Manchester United.
Subsequently, Messi played in the ligue 1 first and last battle, although Messi was again a performance of 0 goals and 0 assists, but with 3 wonderful plans, Messi once again scored a high score after the game. Unfortunately, the Ligue 1 champions have long been unable to satisfy the appetite of the fans in Paris, and every touch of the ball by Messi in this game has attracted boos from the Parc des Princes in Paris.
It was a bad moment in Messi's career that he had never had before. Without the protection of the world's most extraordinary double core, Messi only has a gorgeous appearance, and after leaving Barca's comfort zone, his gorgeous appearance is only an empty shell.
Although they are all "3 goals", the treatment enjoyed by C Ronaldo and Messi is very different, and the discussion of which is strong and which is weak seems to be reversed in the final years of their careers. French Football recently announced the new rules for the Selection of the Ballon d'Or, and judging from the changes in the new rules, it seems to be very unfavorable to Messi, and worse, Messi has no chance to justify himself this season - although he no longer needs to justify himself.
And C Ronaldo, there is still a chance to reverse this season that has caused him to frequently fall into turmoil, the Second Leg of the Champions League and Atletico Madrid 1/8, he still has the opportunity to stage the return of the king. And as long as Manchester United reach the quarter-finals of the Champions League, while the Premier League is successful in the fourth place, C Ronaldo's performance this season, no one is embarrassed to say anything more...
