Cristiano Ronaldo x Lionel Messi, Two Most Complete Footballer
Who doesn’t know the great Cristiano Ronaldo right,
the non-football fan may call him arrogant, playboy, rich head people, swank
and many more. Despite all of that “name”, he actually has a really kind heart,
one example was at 2011 he sold his European Golden Boot at the charity auction
and raised about 1.2 million euro which he donated to Palestine in order to
build school there.
While Lionel Messi, the face of FC Barcelona, who’s
famous for his dribbling and action on the pitch and also off the pitch. He has
his own charity called Fundación Leo Messi where it focuses on supporting
access to education and health care for vulnerable children. Because of that,
he been named as the ambassador of UNICEF since 2010.
Cristiano always shows that he’s one of the best
forwards in world football, everyone comparing him with also one of the best
players, Lionel Messi, but its incomparable between the two of them. They are
different players who play in a different position with a different role. You
can say that Messi is superior because he won 6 Ballon d’Or in his life while
Ronaldo only won it 5 times, but award is just a mere award.
If we just focus on award or silverware, maybe you can
say Ronaldo is superior as he already won two international major trophies with
his country while Lionel Messi won zero trophies in international competition,
but like I said, It just a silverware. Different type of players holding
different type of responsibilities.
This quarrel between who is better are only from the
fans, not from Ronaldo and Messi themselves. They even praise each other and
wishing the best towards them. So, for all football fans out there, we should
not compare who’s better because we should enjoy what both of them want to show
us on the pitch. We’re fortunate enough to live in a same era as Cristiano
Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, their time in football are running out as both of
them are not getting younger.
So, it’s better to sit and enjoy while it last.
