Messi or Ronaldo

Messi

@ThePracticeGuy said in #17:

Comparing Ronaldo to Messi is like comparing a center-back to a left-back.
Ronaldo has different attributes over Messi and vice-versa.

Ronaldo's Attributes:

1. Shooting
2. Flair
3. Heading
4. Speed
5. Freekicks

Messi's Attributes:

1. Speed
2. Dribling
3. Shooting (at a lower extent)
4. Passing

You see that they have different attributes.
I will support my claim with the following:

Ronaldo's Position:
ST

Messi's Position:
LW

A striker has different roles than a left-wing.
I will demonstrate them with the following:

Striker's Role:

1. Scoring goals: Either from Crosses or from long passes

Winger's Roles:

1. Making chances: A winger should do a cross to the striker or pass the ball to the midfield so the midfielders can make some chances on their own.
2. Scoring goal: This role is not as essential for a winger as for a striker, but still vital. The best example of wingers taking this role was Thiery Henry. He would run on the flanks, surpass the Left-backs, cut in, and score a goal.

I hope this educates the fellows who still compare Cristiano Ronaldo to Lionel Messi.

Messi mostly plays on the right though?

You can kick a ball from anywhere.

I think he prefers right, I mean, he plays where he wants to.
