I remember, back then they criticized him for being too much injury prone and not having end product quality enough. Now he has 1000+ games, 800+ goals and 400+ assists. Then they criticized him for not being a leader. Now he is among the most successful football captains internationally - World Cup, Copa America x2, La Finalissima... and probably he will add more.
thing is, he did have to cheat in world cup, didnt do a thing in copa america 2024, and finalissima is just 1 match, so pretty irrelevent, props to him on copa 2021. But cr7 international career will always be better due no cheats and doing well at the same time, bro scored hat trick in semis of nations league, and got his team to finals of euros, with a much weaker team than argentina.
@who,of course,there he learn amd mastered it.its a process,and not or very rare young player have the impact like him.cr at that time if it wasnt for the tabloid,he is just the player,no special talent.we know how the english tabloid like to exaggerated things.even wags can made headline.

In 35 years of watching football religiously, only 3 teenagers have blown me away with their ability at a young age. Ronaldo 9 Wayne Rooney Lionel Messi I remember Messi coming to Stamford Bridge around 2006/7 to play Chelsea and he was unplayable. He was booted all over the pitch that game but gave Ashley Cole the absolute runaround. A year later he does this vs away vs peak Manchester United, and a year after that he is the best player in the world. The best player ever to play football by an absolute mile.
This exact game was the first i’d seen or heard of Messi. I watched this match and knowing not a lot about the intricacies of football back then, i could see easily that this guy was easily the best player on the pitch and Ronaldo was playing in that match also. Messi stood out like dogs balls!
@@nickcockayne7880😮messi is pure magic, Ronaldo is the most complete player that’s ever played the game. I love messi but I’ll pick Ronaldo over messi. Ronaldo did everything better than Messi, the only thing that Ronaldo couldn’t match was messis dribbling ability and going past players like they were not there 😅
@@ambitioushustlaronaldo did everyting better???can ronaldo assist like messi??can ronaldo scored like messi??can ronaldo play make like messi??can ronaldo Carry the team like messi?
I was at that game, a lot of now legends on that pitch. Scholes showed why he was so good, almost retired and still took possession from messi and scored top corner ⚽
Qual outro jogador irá conseguir mais de 15 dribles no jogo em uma semifinal de Champions na casa do adversário com apenas 19 anos? Messi é de outro mundo 👽👑
On ne dirait pas que Ronaldo est dans ce match 😅😅aucun tire effectué, à 20 ans seulement Léo Messi était vibrant et malgré qu'il y avait du déchets dans son jeu 😊😊
This is the game where I became a fan He was carrying them that game against prime United at the Old Trafford at the age of 20, he had Paul Scholes and Evra on strings that night
I was at that game and didn't appear to be the case. Quality player but if I remember scholes came back from retirement to help out and took the ball from messi and banged it top corner ⚽
@@Len714 bro Barcelona had a small and young team here plus ronaldinho wasn't fit scholes was your saviour even though retired easily the best player for you on the pitch but messi still got past him fee times and was the most vibrant on the pitch
Many dribbles but uneffective, he lost the ball many times, his passes were bad and only one shot in the game. One of the most overrated performance of all time.
He better and better.2010,he prove ot..now tell me which player can create space and accleration like Messi did in his 20??overrated?nah they underestimate him.
@@PaulBowman-y1r Maradona was more talented than Messi yes. But Messi got more out of his talent, so it depends on what you like.

Man u don't understand his presence in the pitch is also world class just imagine what he can do if he tries to play with his full potential 😅
Etto was not a passer really he was almost off in every pass
Watch Maradona at that age miles better and always would be
