Do you football guys consider Ronaldo or Messi to be the greatest of all time? I think messi tends to get overrated because people love that he is a short guy underdog while Ronaldo is a physical beast.
Ronaldo is a hard worker, even at the age of 34 he is thinking of ways to improve physically. Messi has more talent, the ball gets stuck to his feet. The way he understands the movements of the opposition is unbelievable.
If you are looking at overall work rate and training - Ronaldo is the winner.
In terms of share talent and vision - Messi is better.
I think Messi is the 2nd greatest player of all time and Cristiano Ronaldo is the greatest. Legends like Pele and Maradona get overrated and they would never be able to compete at the level of athletes today with how physically fit they are.
The two players are good and wonderful in the field of play but I don't see Ronaldo are the greatest player as you said. However, the two players speak through football in varieties way and if we are talking about the greatest player such player must be someone who can shape a match into something else (alone) which Messi had such capacity.
Speaking of the legend footballers you mentioned above, I don't see any reason why they are overrated because they are the one the led the path for Messi, Ronaldo etc, by creating dribbling strategy which was modernized by Messi and the rest today.
Any news about Neymar transfer deal?
