I'm not a fan of this guy.. But I observed everytime this guy Messi plays, opponents never want him to have the ball.. They know he loves to receive the ball from the midfield and once he does, the danger begins.. I observed how they try to open a space to the wing when Messi has dropped to the middle, so they could mark him and stop him from being the support play...

The number of defenders allocated to a player is proportional to his threat. Fact.

Love the way you put it. We all can act like we don't see it, but no one watches his game without observing this fact.. Even Milner said "Messi makes you look stupid"...I've observed a difference between the Ronaldo and Messi... Defenders mark Ronaldo from making a run and shooting, but they mark Messi from making a run, passing the ball, and shooting... To stop that, you need lots of players around him. Two manmarking him and two shadow marking him. Only those who watch his games would know

No insults .. don't tramp on my opinions

short people have a tendency to be very quick,very fast, their centre of gravity is no match for tall people yet with Ronaldos height,he still poses quite enough threat....

The question is: Who poses more threat. Messi or Ronaldo? Explain why four to five defenders are more often than not, assigned to tackle Messi but not Ronaldo.

Stop being ridiculous, I don't think you either understood the question or your own response. The question did not ask if Ronaldo is a threat but who is more threatening between Messi and Ronaldo. Every football player has his own perceived threat level.

Let me rephrase so you answer with a yes or no. Is Ronaldo more of a threat than Messi? Support your response with at least a pictorial proof.

Your refusing to answer is an answer in itself.

Very typical of blind Ronaldo fans. When you bring an argument that demands objective insights, they begin to flee.

most people just like to create unnecessary arguments, even Ronaldinho who was more physical and more skillful than Messi and Ronaldo, you hardly see plenty defenders marking him.
I play and also watch football, this scenes aren't really planned. at any point in time you can find as many opponents coming against you.
Stop unnecessary arguments

The bolded is another ridiculous premise. Does skill translate to threat? So if somone can juggle ball with the hind of his foot for instance does that mean he will be a serious threat in a game? Dembele for instance does not know how to juggle ball but the guy is a star.

You just don't want to accept the fact that Messi is more feared by defenders than Ronaldo and that is why you are beating about the bush.

Try and think for once; why is Messi the most tackled person in football?

Which dembele are u talking about??
the one that most FCB fans want loaned out?

You're a typical FCB fan,but then dembele shouldn't have been used as the case study

Messi definately.

However, don't digress from the subject. We are talking about Messi and Ronaldo.

So because I think Messi is more threatening than Ronaldo, that implies that I am an FCB fan? By your logic, I could also conclude that you are a Juventus fan because you think Ronaldo is more threatening. How silly.

When the premises of your arguments are always flawed, how then do you want people to rely on your judgements?

The way you argue is quite amazing.

Ronaldo presence in the field is intimating and he is always incharge, Ronaldo's confidence scares defender because they know he(Ronaldo) takes advantage of any of their lapses or error at any slight opportunity.

Messi on the otherhand is a snake, A viper. He doesn't need to show how confident he is. Sometimes, he plays without his presence felt on the pitch but when decides to pull a fast one, he gets really quick with it and takes defenders unaware. By the time, the opposition is trying to cover up after being caught unaware, he (Messi) is setting the pace to score or taking a long strike.

I can say Messi is more dangerous because Ronaldo's confidence approach can be locked down but Messi deceptive approach is difficult to predict for a lock down. See that cheap Lexus down my sig

Beverlyjean:
Ronaldo posses more danger hands down... Messi that can't score outside nou camp ... Ronaldo is like MTN...he scores wherever he goes

Messi has about 40 goals against English teams

haa... Money iyaff enter bush

Until messi wins a cup for his country... nobody should compare ronaldo to messi thanks

Greatest playmaker of all time MESSI
greatest goal scorer of all time C.RONALDO..

Still Messi!!!

I'm a Ronaldo fan.. But I know Messi posses more danger

when C. Ronaldo is on the ball, most defenders still have hope of collecting the ball from him,

but when L. Messi holds the ball, you can't predict his next move as a defender, so you will need more of your defender mates to join hands with you in order to be able to get the ball from Messi.

Messi is a threat to any defence, Ronaldo is "I just want to score."




verdict: I give it to Lionel Messi.

As a Ronaldo fan, Messi pose more threat than Ronaldo any day anytime

You can't rest playing as an opposition to Messi especially when you are a defender until it is 90 minutes, but I think Ronaldo is only a good goalscorer, just mark out those who work for him, he becomes a toothless lion.
