Although Messi and Ronaldo have stayed away from the mainstream stage of football, the topic of who is stronger Messi and Ronaldo has never stopped.
Recently, the world-renowned coach Capello expressed his views on this issue, Capello said that Ronaldo is a great goalscorer, but not as great as Messi, Messi is a genius, in Capello's eyes there are four players who can be called geniuses, Messi, Pele, Maradona and Brazil's fat Luo, in addition, Capello also revealed a small episode, the first time he saw Messi, he negotiated with the then Barcelona coach Rijkaard, trying to take Messi away.
Obviously, in Capello's eyes, Ronaldo and Messi are not comparable, Ronaldo is good enough, but there is a distance from genius that cannot catch up, genius is God's gift to the football world, could it be that Capello, who has played for Roma, Juventus and AC Milan, does not understand football?
My point of view is that Capello's words are summarized very well and accurately, the distance between stars and geniuses is the distance between Ronaldo and Messi, Ronaldo has tried to catch up with Messi for many years, but the result has always been unsuccessful, the reason is that Ronaldo is not as good as Messi, not that Ronaldo does not work hard enough, but that this Portuguese lost at the starting line, Messi is a talented player, and Ronaldo is not.
Great goalscorer, when the famous coach Capello made such a definition of Ronaldo, we must admit that Ronaldo is already very good, it is not an exaggeration to say that Ronaldo is born to score goals, this Portuguese has not given up his pursuit of goals for many years, even after being ruthlessly abandoned by European football, Ronaldo still did not choose to lie flat in Saudi Arabia, he is still full of desire to win, he is still full of desire to score, from this point of view, Ronaldo is worthy of respect enough.
Moreover, Ronaldo does not just have the desire to score goals, although Ronaldo cannot be compared with Messi as a talented player in terms of ability, but the former Ronaldo is not bad, and being able to be called a peerless double pride with Messi is enough to prove Ronaldo's toughness, especially when Ronaldo played for Real Madrid, the Portuguese who stood on the shoulders of giants performed eye-catching and amazing enough.
At that time, Ronaldo and Messi completed the monopoly of the Golden Ball Award together, and at that time, Ronaldo and Messi created an era that belonged to them, many times we mention Messi and always say that Messi's trophies are enough to build a sacred temple, so what about Ronaldo, Ronaldo's glory is also enough to make people embarrassed, whether it is Haaland or Mbappe, it may be difficult to reach the height of Ronaldo in the future.
