After leaving Barca, Messi, who is about to turn 35, is not in a good position at Paris Saint-Germain. In the Ligue 1 paris vs Bordeaux match, Messi was booed by his own fans, such a scene is rare;
Messi
37-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo, the League Cup, FA Cup, Champions League out, the Premier League is hopeless to win, the first time in 12 years the club four are empty. The danger is that United may miss out on the top four in the Premier League and thus miss the 2022-23 Champions League.
Ronaldo
Messi and C Ronaldo, two superstars, chose a new challenge last summer but seem to be in crisis. On March 17, Former France international Anelka, who played for Shanghai Shenhua in the Chinese Super League, spoke about his views in an interview with RMC Sports.
In Anelka's view, Messi and Ronaldo are unwise.
Anelka
"Their football careers are coming to an end and looking back over the last 15 years, they have all had great achievements. In my opinion, they should be happy for the glory they once were. At this age, it is time to consider reducing the intensity. Messi came to Ligue 1 and Cristiano Ronaldo joined Manchester United – the most demanding league in the Premier League, too difficult. Anelka said.
"Neither Messi nor Cristiano Ronaldo is wise. Because after the age of 32, 33 and 34, the physical fitness of players declines, they go to less difficult leagues to play, and even directly retire. For example, I retired at the age of 36, and at the age of 32, I went to play in the Chinese Super League. Anelka said.
Anelka and Drogba
Anelka left Chelsea in January 2012 to join Shanghai Shenhua in the Chinese Super League, becoming one of the biggest players in the Chinese Super League at that time. After one year in the Chinese Super League, Anelka earns an annual salary of up to RMB100 million and is the top salary player in the Chinese Super League. Of course, Anelka was not successful in the Chinese Super League, but this did not delay him from making money. After leaving the Chinese Super League, Anelka went to Juve and West Brom for a short time before retiring in 2016.
According to Anelka's idea, after Messi and C Ronaldo left their respective teams last summer, they should enter the rhythm of "retirement", chase their dreams, and challenge themselves, which is the road of youth. At this age, it is time to go to the United States and the Middle East to pan for gold – both to make a lot of money and not to be stressed. Messi and C Ronaldo choose new challenges, and it is too difficult to create brilliant results. So when they don't play well, they will be more violently criticized and questioned.
