When it comes to these two fellows, Ronaldo and Messi, it’s always get heaty as both players fans lay in a banquet of rivalry. But, who really is the best among the two forwards? Ronaldo has won FIFA Balon d’Or 3-times while arc rival, Messi has won it 5-times. This argument continues as fans were in mockery of the later in Abakiliki, Ebony state.
Christiano Ronaldo’s fans in Abakaliki, Ebonyi have “mocked’ Lionel Messi to reconsider his retirement as a way of attaining the current feat of their Portuguese idol. The fans, who celebrated Ronaldo’s “Euro 2016’’ victory with Portugal over hosts France on Sunday at major bars in the town, said he had overtaken his Argentine counterpart in their unending supremacy battle. Vanguard reports.
“Both players have dominated world football for over a decade and have won all available club and individual honours. “The only snag in their plethora of honours is a trophy win with their national sides and Ronaldo’s win has placed him above his bitter rival,’’ he said.
“The 2016/17 football season will soon commence and both players will continue dominating the headlines in the Spanish La Liga and Europe. “Messi therefore needs to rejoin the Argentine national team because Ronaldo will always be rated above him even if he wins all available club honours,’’ he said.
“He is just 29 with many football years ahead of him and with possibilities of eventually winning either the Copa America or World Cup. “Ronaldo had been unlucky before; he lost the Euro 2004 final with Portugal at home against Greece and had several miserable World Cup outings since then,’’ he said.
“Success in national team football is used to determine the better player between Pele of Brazil and Diego Maradona of Argentina. “Pele was given the nod because he won more World and Copa America Cups than Maradona; Nigerian players should learn from all these to be more patriotic to national cause,’’ he said.
“They celebrated at a bar in front of my compound and disturbed the entire neighbourhood all through the night, costing us the desired night sleep in the process,’’ she said.
