Debate on Messi vs Ronaldo
So, um, obviously some people like to nitpick.
Obviously others go off based on their preference on who they like, you know,
based
on style of play. So who's the greatest player of all time,
Cristiano
Ronaldo or Messi?
Um,
I play against, against both of them.
And, uh-
Uh-huh
... I have mu- I have a lot of respect for Ronaldo
because-
Mm
... he's, he's, uh, he build his self, and I think he
deserve to be one of the greatest in the history of football.
Yes.
But bro, Messi is another thing.
Bro, Messi is another thing. Like, Messi is, is, is,
is not normal, is not normal.
Right.
Is not normal. He's, uh, he's, he- You have to ask people
that play against him or
with him, believe me.
Yeah. Listen, I, I, I understand it.
Obviously, Raheem, you know I always ask this question with
huge, with a huge
amount of respect for Messi, and understanding what he's done for the
game, how
great he is on the pitch, all the things he adds
and value he adds to a certain
team, uh, he's been with. But obviously I just love
Cristiano's style of play. Uh, I don't really get into debates.
People start bringing up awards and trophies and goals and assists
and all this
other stuff, and some of those things that separate the two.
I just, my preference is Cristiano based on his style of play
and
flair. Uh, that, that's pretty much it.
And people always say, uh, if you have low IQ you'll
think it's Cristiano. If you have high IQ, um, of knowing ball,
it's, it's Messi. But for me, listen, I j- I just like Cristiano better.
Messi is awesome, awesome. Not taking anything away from him,
but I just, I just
like Cristiano better for some reason.
Bro, Messi, Messi, Messi is different. Messi's different.
Mario, what do you think is the craziest thing you've seen Messi
do?
We won, we won I think
two-one or two-zero probably in, um-
Mm
... in Milan, with Milan.
Yeah.
And then we have to go to Barcelona.
We program the whole week to control Messi.
From not long after three minutes, they were two-zero, two goal of Messi.
The match, the, the match finished four-zero.
The whole week was a waste.
The whole week was- ... Messi we, we go in the pitch, we were like,
"Come on, we
can do it. We are two-zero up. Come on."
Right.
"We are, we are Milan. We are three minutes,
two-zero for two goal Messi."
Come on, this is not real. He-
Oh my goodness
... you come out-
He's not normal, man
... I think at that-
That guy is different
... at that time, at that time when Messi was between 17 and 30
years old, when he decide-
Right
... to change any game, bro, you cannot, you can't do nothing.
You can't do nothing.
Right.
You can't do nothing, bro.
I understand, bro.
Just pick up the ball in different spaces and just go.
But the ti- the thing is that,
uh, he, his speed with the ball is crazy.
If I wanna do something that Messi does, probably I would do it
thinking for two seconds.
Yeah.
Messi is like,
like this.
And then like this, he do something different.
Then he think you probably come from the right.
He already move the ball on the... No, but it's not normal.
But at, as i- the speed he does things, and the technical-ness-
Right
... is crazy.
Wow.
Like he, you can't do this. You can't teach this.
You can't teach this
