Hehehehe,Atletico Madrid midfielder Koke believes that while Cristiano Ronaldo is a phenomenal "athlete", Lionel Messi is a footballing "god".
Will this debate ever end?I think it will never end,but one thing i have really noticed when it comes to this Messi and Ronaldo issue,is that most legends of the game like,Pele,Ronaldo de
Lima,Beckanbuauer,Cryuff,Maradona,of course he is an Argentine and will always support his
country man,but if you look at most people that says Ronaldo is better, Like,Bale,Figo,Owen etc.
One way or the other,has a connection to either Real Madrid,Man Utd or Portugal,but most neutrals believes Messi is better,even some Real Madrid ex players like Guti
also thinks Messi is better.
Another area that always amazes me is that,Messi is always being compared to Pele and Maradona,and their are questions if he is the best of all time,while Ronaldo is always being compared to Messi alone.
Not saying Messi is out rightly better,but he seems to have an edge over Ronaldo on who is better in the eyes of plenty legends of the game,its just an observation though,Lol.
What do you think,and who do you think is actually the better player between the two and why?
Ronaldo and Messi have won the last six Ballon d'Or awards between
them and the debate over which player is superior remains one of the
most heated in world football.
Koke, though, believes that while the Real Madrid ace's physical
prowess warrants recognition, he feels that that the diminutive
Barcelona No.10 is a divine talent.
"Ronaldo is an athlete, but Messi is a god," the Spain international told Al Primer Toque.
"They're both great players. I see them on the pitch and it's
spectacular.
It's tough to decide. You always want them on your team,
and even though it's Cristiano, I'd choose Messi."
However, despite his reverence for the Argentine, Koke rejected the
opportunity to play alongside Messi this season, insisting that he was
not in the least bit tempted to move to Camp Nou when Barcelona came
calling during the summer, given he had just helped Atletico beat the
Blaugrana to the Liga title.
"I made the decision to continue at Atletico," the 22-year-old
explained. "I appreciated the interest of Barcelona, but why would I
have left during what is such a good time for Atletico?"
Diego Simeone's side have been accused of employing an overly
aggressive approach to the game, particularly this season, and Koke
admitted that he has grown weary of the constant criticism of their
style of play.
"I am already tired of saying that we are violent," he sighed. "There is a campaign against us and it is not easy.
"But I am proud to be at Atletico. We fight for our lives at this club. We have done so since childhood."
