QUOTE (kurtsimonw @ Mar 9 2011, 03:47 PM)  This is what makes Ronaldo better for me. He's done it in some pretty average teams. Messi his entire club career has had arguably the best 2 midfielders in football creating things for him. As soon as he doesn't play with them (in the Argentina NT) he doesn't look half the player. You call Man U and Real average teams? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/panicsmiley2.gif) While I agree that Iniesta and Xavi are essential for him to shine like he does in Barca, it's not like he's completely dependent on them. last night I was paying attention to this, Messi creates a lot for his teammates as well. |

The creative players he has at Madrid are good, but nowhere near the level of Xavi/Iniesta. At United I don't think he got much help , about the most creative player was Rooney!

He isn't completely dependant on them, but he does depend on them alot, which is why his form suffers Internationally, in my opinion. |

Yeah calling Man U and RM - those squads CR was/is playing in - pretty average is a bit inaccurate I believe...
The thing with Messi is, it's how everyone sees it regarding his performances with Argentina. To me he's underachieving with them while to others he's overachieving in Barcelona because of the service he has. But I believe the former is correct because with Argentina he does not even do the solo stuff very well... it seems like he can't manage to adapt yet. |
