And this is why I can't give Messi the sort of praise people are giving him when he runs past 5 players in La Liga. They are soft like porridge! Good defenders nowadays are a rarity! Imagine if he had to face this sort of aggression on a daily in La Liga? Not to mention what R9 had to face back in Italy in the 90's. Brutal.
La liga still has some top defenders that are pretty hard to beat. You cannot say that beating 5 players is an easy thing to do in la liga. The fact that messi is even able to do this is extraordinary. I agree that Ronaldo is much better, but do not under estimate defenders nowadays in la liga. In most cases they r more organized.
Revel Erastus-Obilo "La liga still has some top defenders that are pretty hard to beat." - Apart from Varane (who is a genius), Pepe (who is not consistently good but always aggressive), the players on his own team (who apart from an ageing Puyol are also a joke) who he'll obviously never have to face, and perhaps the entire Athletico Madrid squad who play with the mentality of their coach and not any individual defensive brilliance, TELL ME 5! Even when they are organised as soon as Barca score once, they fall to pieces. La Liga defenders are like inept guards in a James Bond movie : absolutely useless!
This sort of aggression is the only reason,Ronaldo ended up with his "injuries".Defending is toned town nowdays to prevent injures,don't doubt Messi though.Maldini himself said that Maradona was the hardest to shut town and prime Ronaldo 96-98 was a close second,Maradona's successor is Messi and he said it himself so he is really good.Who's better? well that's a matter of speculation and opinion.
Amanda Hugankiss Im not sure Messi can pass 5 ppl on his own, but OK. What im sure Messi would not be able to play at Ronaldo's age where all defenders was so physical, where pitch was not super silky like today, where was not Barcelona superior team to any1. But im sure 18YO R9 would be God here and now.
A kick from 1997 is still considered a kick in 2018 and Messi gets plenty of those. I can't understand why people are so caught in the past and think that Messi couldn't produce in the past. Messi is small but so was Maradona and look what he did. Just think of that anytime you question the greatness of Messi.
When you can’t stop him you get aggressive. He needed to face thousands of aggressive tackles during his career, his legs were scrambled. The Fenomeno 🖤💙
Madonna quanto mi stupì mi impressionò ed entusiasmo a 360° questa pazzesca mostruosa partita che giocò e anche tutta l'Inter in preparazione estiva estate 1997 caldissima poi e che preparazione bellissima e straordinaria perfetta che fecemmo con Gigi Simoni nelle sue caratteristiche fisiche tecniche e tattiche poi con Ronaldo che aveva una forma devastante da vendere e questa partita la gioco mostruosamente bene 🔵⚫💪⚽️👏💙🖤 non trovo il gol perché lo bombardavano i difensori dell'Atletico visto che in campionato la stagione prima gli fece doppietta al Camp Nou ed un gol anche al ritorno a Madrid quindi lo tartasselarono ma lui se li bevve tutti 💪⚽️👏 anche se era un amichevole mi imoressiono questa partita che in vacanza mi guardai 🔵⚫💙🖤
no dude...the reason Ronaldo destroyed his legs because his upper body put too much pressure on his knee when he does a sudden movement turn. That time there is no significant study about science and sport....not like these days.
Gin Lundamo Firstly when you said near 200 I imagined 190 minimum. You’re comment, before the edit, said around 185 but even then 185 seems a little too big, for him in 1997. I definelty believe he weighed around 185 later in his career but before 2003 he was pretty slim so I’d guess 175 lbs maybe.
This generation of players would have had no chance playing in the 90's, they would have been hacked also the defenders back then were so much more skilled. Today are a bunch of floppers.
Il Calcio è uno sport di contatto, ma certi falli sono da vigliacchi ..contro Ronaldo fenomeno si scatenava una feroce caccia all'uomo; quanti falli subiva e tanti non venivano sanzionati. Ronaldo andava più tutelato. Io ho visto circa ,500 partite del Fenomeno ( dal Cruziero al Corinthiad ) e posso dire che gli arbitri gli hanno negato almeno un rigore a partita, e spesso il suo marcatore con in arbitro serio andava espulso . Certo questo è il prezzo che si paga quando sei Ronaldo..ma la lealtà rientra nei principi dello Sport, e con il Fenomeno pochi difensori sono stati leali . Se i cosìddetti campioni di oggi che vincono palloni d'oro a iosa subissero i falli che subiva Ronaldo, di sicuro abbandonerebbero il Calcio .Se non avesse avuto i gravi infortuni avrebbe vinto 10 palloni d'oro di fila ( palloni d'oro veri , non come quelli degli ultimi 15 anni ) . Poi non sopporto quando si vuole stilare classifiche del più grandi di sempre e vengono citati Messi ,CR7 etc. ..... calciatori bravissimi, ma di seconda fascia; in prima fascia ci sono i marziani...ossia Ronaldo il Fenomeno e Maradona, poi con molto distacco i vari Pelé , Best, Cruyff, Garrincha, Zidane Platini e poi con ancora molto distacco i vincitori degli ultimi undici palloni d'oro
Amanda you say no wrong! As much as I respect CR7, with some of his antics they would of got eaten alive. Imagine cr7 playing in this era! He would of gone into modelling lol. Messi would of faired slightly better because of his agility but a few of those heavy tackles would of retired him too. It was a weekly thing too, no rest bite 😢😂😂😂😂😂😂
R9 apanhava demais, pura covardia. Foram esses animais desalmados que abreviaram as carreiras de muitos craques. A consequência desse tipo de jogo foi o futebol pragmático de resultado, onde a equipe é nivelada e o craque fica o tempo todo escondido para não apanhar.

4:13 any other footballer and he would have gone down there and got the penalty. The balance and sportsmanship on this guy was unreal. MY GOAT.

Not one of his best matches, but the king still had some tricks!
wow atletico madrid have always played dirty
Almost every challenge against him was intended to blatantly take him down rather than stealing the ball from him, unbelievable

Eu assisti esse jogo os caras queriam machucar o Ronaldo até ele percebeu, foi um dos jogos que ele mais tocou a bola pra não levar pau kkkk
This is why his legs were destroyed
no dude...the reason Ronaldo destroyed his legs because his upper body put too much pressure on his knee when he does a sudden movement turn. That time there is no significant study about science and sport....not like these days.
bangroji he was very muscular for someone that’s 6 ft, almost 200 pounds
Gin Lundamo no where near 200 lbs. Especially not in 1997.
How much then??
Gin Lundamo Firstly when you said near 200 I imagined 190 minimum. You’re comment, before the edit, said around 185 but even then 185 seems a little too big, for him in 1997. I definelty believe he weighed around 185 later in his career but before 2003 he was pretty slim so I’d guess 175 lbs maybe.
Messi cant past chiles defenders how can you compare him with el fenomeno.....
Messi literally provided 2 assists vs Italy in the Finalissima.
Made Chiellini, Bonucci and Donarumma look like Amateurs.
This generation of players would have had no chance playing in the 90's, they would have been hacked also the defenders back then were so much more skilled. Today are a bunch of floppers.
