couldn't have said that any better.

I don't think it's fair to compare Haaland to R9, CR7, or Messi because he's just a different player. Far more limited, and obviously light-years away in terms of technical ability, but fantastically efficient in his role: scoring goals.

I agree Mr Bundesteam, but the thing is that the sport is vastly different now than it even was when cr7 and messi were young, leg alone Ronaldo Nazario. I'm really impressed with Haaland and how mature his finishing and positioning are, but there's no doubt, that what Cr7, messi, and Nazario were doing at his age was far more entertaining and impressive.

Come back to Me when someone else scores as much as haaland does in this current era... Aim of the game is to put the ball in the back of the net... Not score the most spectacular fifa goals. Like saying messi and Ronaldo are frauds for scoring tap ins and penalties. If it was so easy to score tap ins why aren't all strikers able to score 15+ goals a season? Somehow it got degraded to 20 goals being golden ball worthy when the big boys are scoring 30-40+

Right bro Halland is lucky also good team he got Haaland only can shoot Haaland can't dribbling can't pass can't cross Haaland not a complete player But R9 another level

@@fixxa6455 Ronaldo creates much more chances than Haaland watch the video.

That's it.

Perfect summary, has to be regarded as one of best of all time. This era also had the best Brazil in my opinion. Ronaldinho, Rivaldo, Cafu, Roberto Carlos etc.

He's my favourite player of all time. The most complete striker ever!

if you followed football closely you should know that Ronaldo was considered the best plyer in the world from 1996-1998, after the injuries he was not considered the best, around 1999 it was Rivaldo and then Zidane and Figo. Even in 2002 when Brazil won the world cup Rivaldo was considered the best player in Brazil and though Brazil won the world cup, Oliver Kahn won the gloden ball. So calling him the best ever is not accurate. Messi, Maradona and Zidane have a much stronger case for being the GOAT!

For me Adriano THE EMPIRE is the most completed one

Clear of CR7

Same

@@omariblake21 at cruzeiro he used to starve, his career really started when he moved to europe and played for PSV

Facts!!

WTF? He is.

b4 23 y o , no one in football history will ever come close to his little toe

Van Basten is the best nr 9 ever and he was playing from his 22 age with a bad enkle and forced to stop playing footbal when he was 28. In that time with Maradonna 3 time world player. When he was not forced to stop he should won that title more than Messi.

@@robsonfr-qv5yt lol , if u asked basten himself , he will say Ronaldo can't be compared to anyone, no player in football history can match R9 at his prime b4 knee injuries , I was watching football since decades , and I saw all there greats till now and I say I've never seen player like that young R9 b4 knee injuries , hw was like glitch that had to be corrected by injuries as I said

he is the best ! the essence of the football world ever happen

Watch the MatigolVidz video on Romario for another ridiculous cf of all Time.

What acceleration and balance? It’s skills, skills and skills. I can see amazing skill moves. Acceleration means nothing. Walcott, Lennon, Wright Phillips were quick but they were rubbish. Because they have zero football skills.

@@thierryhenry674 yeah but add those skills in to a 6ft frame with blistering acceleration and pace Not only that, but Ronaldo was extremley fast with the ball, and would do skills whilst running at speed. He was on another level

Ronaldo is amazing because he is so skillful.

@@thierryhenry674 it's not just skills mate, loads of skillful players that were no where on his level. It was a mixture, his explosiveness, speed, finishing, both feet, turns, his positioning, strength. He was a monster

He got injured many times because back then FIFA rules is quite low, defenders can tackle you hard and harshly.

@@BisnesRancak but also was it because of his style?

Had very thick muscular legs. That also could've been a source of injuries. But I think that's why he was such a powerful runner and could ease defenders off the ball.

he said in a podcast that the main reason for the injury was that the coaches made him run for long hours, and this caused wear on his knees, in his opinion, he only needed to train the sprints to goal, not endurance

@@jeanwress7738 good to know. I will not let my kid over run in training.

Arguably best of all time. Incredible talent.

se fomos comparar com o fenomeno realmente o haaland não tem chance, a carreira do fenomeno acabou por causa da lesão no joelho se n ele teria conquistado muito mais titulo e talvez até mais copa do mundo, mas mesmo assim sou fã do haaland também ele é absurdo no quesito fazer gol.

@@darkrn1035 Sim, e pra galera que gosta de estatísticas, a média do Ronaldo era até mais alta que o Haaland nessa idade, que foi antes de sua séria lesão na Inter, no ano 2000.

concordo plenamente com você !!.... soy argentino mas ao Fenómeno eu o tenho num lugar muito especial do meu coracao. CR7... antes do ter comparado com Messi deve ser melhor do que o fenómeno.... e nao é.... un luxo ter assistido o jogo do Ronaldo (o fenómeno, o verdadeiro Ronaldo 😁)

@@bluebird8463 Cara mais até em estatísticas Ronaldo supera, Com 21 Ronaldo tinha 220 gols, e halaald com 22 1 ano amais ainda tem 180

Pre-injury he was utterly bewitching, ferocious, destructive and magical. It was like i were watching a God of Football or something, later they nicknamed him "The Phenomenon" ...and rightly so...he had to be seen to be believed ...and i haven't seen anything like him (pre injury) before or since.

Solo runs and solo goals =messi

Yeah no footballer was better U21 then R9 without all the injury he’s the obvious goat of football

There's no better solo goal than the one messi scored against getafe, he was 19 years old.

There is or should be just ONE GOAT. And you know who it is

Definitely the most unstoppable player. One man army. Opponents shitted their pants when he got the ball. Football in that era was into transition into modern football. Most clubs played 4-4-2 with much less chances for any attacker. The 4-4-2 became much easier to defend. Nowadays it is 4-3-3 which is dominant with much more movement up front. Ronaldo in modern day would be a monster. Much better medical and physiological professionalism at clubs. The space modern football offers would make him less reliant on strength and speed. Football and NBA both had become less physical. In the ‘80s you see slidings as high as the knees, the ‘90s and ‘00s has more shirt pulling and a bit less late tackling than the ‘80s. Modern football has so many camera angles that atttackers are much better protected. Pression football and the use of functional space up front creates more space. Nowadays attackers have less time but more space to control the ball because not the players themselves are man-marked but the potential pass that someone can give is covered.

thats messi, I ve seen some ronaldo phenomenon when I was a kid and he was in the galacticos team, compared to messi he was very easy to stop actualy.

But to be honest, those times the defensas we're so weak, they started to defend better and stronger after Barcelona started to win with Guardiola

i wouldn't call him unstoppable. i do remember him breaking a leg, and was out for 2 years. i would still say that Pelé was better then him. but Football has Evolved overtime, football 20 years ago isn't the same as today. back then etc we used different tactics like using a sweeper defender that's behind CB. Erling Håland have already broken a lot of records, while playing in two of the biggest football leagues in the world. just because you dont see him Dribble. doesn't make him a worse player.

Search for Ronaldo goal against Santos 2009

scoring goals does Not make you the best. R9 is above Messi and CR7. Everyone knows this!

Seems like another player I know

He was solo striker

A goal is a goal, doesn’t matter how it’s scored. The bottom line is Ronaldo is not even amongst top 25 all time in goals scored, he may have scored a lot individually but it shows that his situational awareness was not good to link up with teammates, and his dribbling was only successful because he played in Serie A, the defending is quite low level there.

It wasn’t health issues it was injuries if anything he got the luckiest with genetics

@@Deathmare235 he actually has a condition causing a very low metabolism and he struggled with weight gain his whole career. But yes, the injuries were very bad as well

he is the goat even with his injuries

"not quiet"! Poor man! 🤦‍♂

@@bricelevai8520 didn't he only really struggle after his injury/injuries - when he was always playing his condition wasn't really notable but afterwards he Gaines a little too much weight and thereby made it harder for his body to deal with his Playstyle.

Per me invece é giusto che sia andata nel campionato italiano, visto che a quel tempo era di un livello migliore rispetto ad adesso, e si sa che le difese non sono il punto forte del campionato spagnolo, quindi trovo giusto che sia andato a giocare in italia dove li la difesa é molto più forte

No need bringing Messi and CR7 in here. Messi is magic 🎉

Well, I am sorry to disappoint you but back in the days Italian Serie A was way better and more competitive then any other in the world. Maybe the best ever existed

Search for Ronaldo goal against Santos 2009

Dude, even after his devastating knee injury where doctors said he won't be able to properly walk afterwards, he won the World Cup, the Golden Boot and the Balon d'Or

How was he still the best at scoring after his knee injury?! Henry won 2 European gold boots between 2000 - 2009 while R9 didn’t win any. Henry was also the top goal scorer of that decade. So Henry was the best goal scorer during that time

Quite surprised people are actually comparing him to Haaland. Completely different type of player. Haaland should be compared to Gerd Muller, van Nistelrooy or Batistuta.

Same here, he was from another universe!

And ripping apart maldini,nesta,cannavaro, Buffon in same match😂
