The Case for Why Cristiano Ronaldo is Better Than Lionel Messi

Eshlin — Tue, 16 Jan 2018 18:55:05 +0000

Brazilian football icon Roberto Carlos has said that Cristiano Ronaldo is the world’s best because of his determination to stay ahead of his contemporaries.

The former full-back told Fox Sports that Ronaldo’s incredible work ethic, focus and unwavering desire to continually improve his game set him apart from contemporaries such as Lionel Messi and Neymar, even with the Portuguese star now being 32 years of age.

Over the past decade, the football world has been dominated by headlines that have been generated by the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. The Argentine is undoubtedly having the better season of the pair so far this term, but the duo will have the opportunity to test their rivalry on the biggest stage in the summer’s World Cup in Russia; they are both amongst the favourites to come out as golden boot winner according to the betting odds that NetBet published on betting sites.

Joint stranglehold on Ballon d’Or

Of course, with each player generally being in scintillating form year after year, it would be unfair to determine the better of the two on the basis of one tournament. To illustrate this fact: since 2007, no other player besides the pair has won the prestigious Ballon d’Or award; the last person to do it apart from them was former AC Milan and Brazil star Kaka.

There have been endless heated debates about who is the better player between Ronaldo and Messi. Each has his own set of admirers and detractors and this is perhaps one of the most popular, and endlessly debated, football arguments in history.

Ronaldo holds international edge

One thing that Ronaldo does boast which Messi does not is a major international trophy. Despite having played in a World Cup final in 2014 as well as three Copa America finals, Messi has never won a major trophy with Argentina.

Ronaldo, meanwhile, reached the 2004 final of the European Championships with Portugal as a 19-year-old. Playing at home, Portugal were widely expected to win the tournament, especially as their opponents in the final were Greece. However, the underdogs pulled off one of the biggest upsets in football history with a 1-0 victory, which ranks right up there with Leicester City’s shock Premier League title victory during the 2015/16 season.

Portugal have not produced many players on par with Ronaldo over the years, and they have often been accused of being a one-man team. That said, during the Euro 2016 tournament, Ronaldo and Portugal finally got to taste international success when they triumphed in the European Championships, overcoming pre-tournament favourites France during the final of the competition.

Man United on High Alert After ‘Secret’ Ronaldo UK Trip

Admin — Sun, 31 Dec 2017 18:06:27 +0000

Speculation linking Cristiano Ronaldo to his former club Manchester United has intensified, following revelations that the Portuguese star made a ‘secret’ house-hunting trip to the UK last month.

According to reports in national newspapers in the UK, the 32-year-old also checked out a number of private prep schools for his seven-year-old son Cristiano Jr during his low-key visit.

The Mirror alleges that the Real Madrid superstar wants his children to receive an education fit for royalty, and has been looking into a number of schools on par with the Thomas’s Battersea prep school, attended by Prince George. Thomas’s charges fees of £17,600 per year – a mere drop in the ocean for Ronaldo, who earns a reported £365,000 per week at Los Blancos.

House-hunting in Surrey and London

The original story’s unnamed source also claims that CR7 has been house-hunting in London and Surrey, amidst rumours that he has asked Real to lower the price of his buy-out clause ahead of a potential move away from the Santiago Bernabeu. “He’s looked at possible homes in Leatherhead in Surrey and even a flat in London. It’s obviously something he’s very seriously considering,” the source reportedly told The Mirror.

Ronaldo is a doting father who regularly speaks of his children in media interviews. At the start of the month, he spoke about Cristiano Jr. during an interview with David Ginola. “I see a bit of myself in Cristiano Jr, and not only because he’s my son,” the Portugal captain said. “He told me he will be better than me – he tells me he will win a Ballon d’Or and that he can win five.”

Ronaldo’s wrestling fandom

Admin — Tue, 27 May 2014 13:44:57 +0000

With World Cup fever fast approaching and the beautiful game set to dominate our TV screens, European football fans will be looking to a select group of characters to entertain us both on and off the pitch.
Sitting pretty up front in the starting 11 of entertaining characters for reasons good and bad is Portugal’s Cristiano Ronaldo.
Portuguese Soccer superstar Ronaldo has been excitedly celebrating his bragging rights after Real Madrid’s Champions League glory on Twitter and is sure to bring some swagger to Brazil. Yes, you can bet on the World Cup that Ronaldo’s antics will be a big talking point at some stage.
He started showing his unique brand of speedo clad swagger at the opening of the Champions League final when he strutted like American wrestling stars such as The Undertaker and John Cena to celebrate La Decima.
The 29-year-old Real Madrid star upset his rivals with what they would consider an over zealous entrance on to the pitch.
WWE followers will all share warm memories of watching Hulk Hogan and Ultimate Warrior on TV, but it seems Cristiano Ronaldo takes his fond childhood memories of stepping into the ring a stage further by including them in his own warm up.
The signs of Ronaldo’s WWE fandom have been emerging for some years. When wrestling hero Rey Mysterio paid a special visit to see the Real Madrid squad in 2010 and Ronaldo showed his joy and fandom of wrestling by posing for many happy snaps with him.
Certainly Ronaldo has proven he is a bigger fan than most, by emulating the walk to the ring which the WWE stars display on Raw and Smackdown – but before stepping on to the pitch.
So, who can predict what the future holds. Should the Real Madrid star’s career come to an abrupt end and his modelling contracts dry up, then perhaps we will see him emerge on Monday Night Raw. We can see it now, laying the smackdown, all the way from the hot blooded lands of Portugal, from the European continent, here comes The Stepover Sultan.
