He just digs a bigger hole whenever he does that Messi comparisons, but I don't exactly reproach him. Everywhere he turns he hears Messi cheers or taunts and gets his performance compared to everything Messi does. He's only human and a person can only take so much crap. |
I'm from Argentina and I can tell you that Messi is playing exceptionally with the national team. At 24, he's already the 4th all-time top scorer and has a great chance to finish his carrer at least as 2nd. It's not his fault that our defense is useless...
C. Ronaldo is an awesome player too, but the bigger differences are their personalities: CR7 is arrogant and talk shit, while Messi retains an incredibly low profile. Although journalists can get really annoying with comparisons, his attitude IS reproachable since he's the only responsable for his words.
The media also compares Messi with Neymar, but the latter only declares his admiration for him and therefore goes unnoticed.
Ronaldo is obsessed with Messi. He is jealous, makes it public, and that affects his performances negatively. I think he needs a psychiatrist...
