The discussion between Messi and Ronaldo has been going on for more than a decade, and every fan has a view on this matter, and with Messi winning the World Cup, this discussion should have settled. However, former Benfica coach Jorge Jesus expressed his opinion, which was questioned by fans and had a very heated discussion. He believes that Ronaldo is closer to Maradona's existence than Messi, who has no passion for football.
In the interview, his whole story was: "Maradona and Pele are the best players of all time, Maradona is even greater, not only because he is a talented player, but also because of the form he shows, he is passionate about football, which is important to me. Of the two best players in world football at the moment, Ronaldo has that, while Messi doesn't, he doesn't have any passion for football. Messi is a great player, but we're talking about the way we treat football."
For Jorge Jesus' interview, the fans are also clearly divided into two parts at the moment. Some fans think he is right, Ronaldo is passionate about football, full of desire to win, he wants to win, and he is willing to give everything for it. While another part of the fans believe that Messi has won the World Cup, which is enough to prove that he is the closest player to Maradona, Jorge Jesus is the head coach of Portugal, and naturally supports Ronaldo.
Of course, it is undeniable that Jorge Jesus, as the Portuguese manager, has a certain subjectivity in his own opinion and will definitely support Cristiano Ronaldo. And the views he listed are not too convincing, Ronaldo's competitive spirit and desire to win are naturally very strong, but Messi, as one of the best players in world football, if he does not have a strong sense of competitiveness, it is difficult to do this. There are many talented Argentine players, but Messi is probably the only one who can reach the heights of Maradona, at least until now.
Messi and Ronaldo are at the end of their careers, both of whom have become among the best players in world football for the past decade or so, and they have maintained very good form to this day. Messi has found his form this season and has scored 18 goals and provided 16 assists, making him one of the best players in Paris. After joining the Saudi League, Ronaldo quickly adapted to the rhythm of the league, scoring 8 goals and providing 2 assists, making him one of the team's best players.
