True I don't get wtf they are on about??? Hard work is like a standard for every football player not only Messi or Ronaldo in order to succeed. So, whether you're Messi or Ronaldo, you both have worked hard to get to where u are.

True, its a stinky narrative that is overused and it pisses me off

Where does he say Messi didnt work hard? He just says Messi has raw natural talent compared to Ronaldo. Messi is a natural genius whereas Ronaldo has to train certain characteristics in himself to be as good as he is. Its like Goku and Vegeta. Vegeta was a natural talent whereas Goku had to work super hard that still doesnt mean Vegeta doesnt work hard he just has instinctive genius on top of the hard work compared to Goku and thats what Lex is highlighting

I think because Messi looks so naturally talented people undermine his work ethic. No player would perform like that for so many years without putting in some big sacrifice. There has also been an evolution to his game and refinement in several skills. I agree with everything you said and if it was purely a match just to ball it out, I would take Messi. But if there was something on the line, Ronaldo might have an edge.

MESSIRVE

Messi dribbles 3-4 players and still has the vision to play the perfect through ball for his teammates. No other player can do it as good as Messi

That's why, plus leadership makes Maradona the greatest over Messi, because Maradona was better at everything than Messi and also could lead a mediacore team like Napoli and make it the best team in the best league. Messi never did that and of course 1986 Maradona's World Cup performance is still the greatest individual peace of art on the football pitch. Messi failed that too.

@@ragnarok283 That is absolute rubbish. A real leader doesn't let his team down by taking illegal substances in the middle of a WC. Maradona prime only lasted half a dozen years.

No, there is moments of genius where you can see a spark of their imagination because they pull something unthinkable. I watch and play soccer so when he says the “beauty” thats what he means He does train everybody trains and does repetitions we can all train hard but we all think differently.

@@reccosevil Messi practiced in tranings and matches for more 10 years before the world knew who he was. The act of PRACTICE and REPETITION produces “genius” moments. As an athlete, your body learns with experience; the success and failure against good opposition (e.g., good central backs/mid fielders/goalkeepers etc made Messi practice harder; personal goals: eyeing for a spot in the main squad made Messi practice harder, after all let’s not forget there was a guy called Ronaldinho playing for Barcelona before the world cared about Messi). This is just one part of equation. There is the pre-season; the diets; the resting in between training and matches; the hunger - having a player like CR7 in Spain kept Messi on his element; etc.

There’s no question that messi is a more naturally talented footballer. There’s no question Renaldo is a harder worker. We all know every professional sports person had to work hard and do lots of repetition but the point is some are more naturally talented and some work herder

The amount of disrespect on this vid is off the charts bro..... I'm thinking do they even watch football? Should Americans even be allowed to talk abt the beautiful game?

Messi is not a more consistent player. Messi was consistent at Barca during the golden age. If you look outside , national team, PSG he is consistently bad. Ronaldo had many teams an won titles with all. Messi is the more spectacular and innovative player. It makes more fun to watch Messi but he is not as effective without the amazing Barca team.

Exactly, and Messi has improved his freekick at the age of 34. Where as for Cr7, you can anticipate his freekick will be over the bar. Despite his pretentious stance before the run up.

@Mayur Pawar Are you talking about his 1st stint at United? Yes i have, he's not that great, during that era, the freekick specialist was Juninho at Lyon. Even Ronaldinho was still playing when C. Ronaldo was 1st stint at united.

Absolutely. It's amazing seeing how his game has transformed with increasing age. He used to just blitz past defenders and dribble like crazy early in his career. Now he's much more calculated in his plays and has taken the role of a provider. He's a perfect example of a player changing his game to suit the team and himself. I always knew that with his talent he could easily play in midfield when he started slowing down.(i know he still plays as a forward, but you get my point)

Obviously Ronaldo is talented and gifted but when you compare to someone like messi who is far more gifted it just seems like Ronaldo is holding on with just hard work….

@@Scaraptor619 i never quite got that line ot thinking. Messi worked just as hard as Ronaldo. His life has been training since he's 12 and actually, he is not naturally fit to play, he's had many problems with growth when young and then other issues on his 20s which he fought against.

There’s a quote: Messi is like maradona everyday he played. Even maradona wasn’t maradona everyday.

@@vonalxao1 ...except in all those games Messi choked with Argentina.... And the games (granted not a lot) where he completely disappeared in Barca...

@@XxChuyoxX no, I mean like when he shot a HORRIBLE PK and lost the Copa America final. He's choked way too many times in crucial moments with Argentina. Chokes that cost Argentina titles. Hence why he only has really just one title with Argentina, and it also happened to be the only time he played an international tournament with zero fans in the stadium, hence less pressure. If covid wasn't a thing he probably would've choked this Copa America too, with the pressure from the Argentina fans, as he always did before....
