Cristiano Ronaldo is more comprehensive than Messi
The two are nearly perfect but the Real Madrid player exceeds that of Barcelona in six of the ten parameters analyzed
Messi or Cristiano. Cristiano and Messi. The best of the best of 2009 and the best of the best in 2008, both individually and collectively. Comparison difficult. Blessed comparison. No coach would refuse under any circumstances to either for very different concepts that may be football. And few fans, beyond what your colors, dare to question the level of both.
Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi
They are the two best players today. The dilemma may be similar to parental affection. Who do you want more of a father or a mother? If we were to choose to feet, as in childhood, the choice is complicated antojaría. Only the team’s needs in particular can make you opt for one or the other.
A detailed analysis of the conditions from the various facets football leads to the conclusion that Portuguese is a more complete footballer than the Argentine. For a short (88-80), but in certain respects, as in the physical condition in almost all its connotations, actions from free-kicks in the game of head and capacity liderazago Cristiano imposes its law.
In this case the comparison has its rationale. They are two players of similar age, Cristiano is two and half years older than Messi, and both move in the same area of the field. Moreover, its starting point is a band, but are free to move around the front of the attack.
One of the conclusions of the comparative is that Messi is the perfect place at the right time. His football get overvalued because it is in Barcelona and the best proof is that the selection does not perform as Argentina on your computer.
Christian, however, gives the feeling that you can fully pay any habitat. In Manchester and Real Madrid in the selection. You do not need both hardware to achieve maximum expression.
Collective Game

Both are notoriously individualistic, to think more of themselves than the team in many parts of the game. Still, gives the impression that Messi is better suited to collective game, which is more disciplined. You may have much to do with it the concept of the Barcelona game, very combinations, partnerships, with many touches and supports. He likes to receive the ball at the bottom.
Christian goes it alone. It is associated least get the ball and accelerates because he knows that by itself can solve. Their collective contribution to the game ball and without the ball is different. Messi needs the ball more, participate more. Inside game for the walls. Christian has no such dependence on tactical system.? In fact the same in either unfolds. He is a man over uncheck.
Individual technique

Almost perfect. His technique is prodigious individual, as evidenced every time a ball falls at his feet. His repertoire is vast: checks, driving the ball, passes … Christian manages Messi both legs and relies more on the left. Each has a different way to demonstrate their individual innate. Messi, especially, stands out in short spaces and takes the ball much more attached to the foot, either at the time of Dodge, as driving.
Cristiano is happy with wide spaces develops all its physical power. Those who know him well say the ball is a part of your body.
Physical

The aspect in which there is more distance between them. One aspect that makes the difference in favor of Real Madrid. Christian is an athlete in the broadest sense of the word. He is obsessed by the physicist and works all body parts both in training and in the gym.
His technical repertoire is based on its strong physical condition. Besides speed has great resilience. Her muscles are long and less prone to injury. Messi all his physical based on a powerful lower body. His muscles are short and have had enough trouble in the form of injury.
Speed

Messi 8
Two different concepts of speed. Christian is much faster over long distances, 20-30 feet, when it can develop its full power. Messi is faster in confined spaces. In four-five meters out in a flash.
With the ball at his feet a race between them would be decided by thousandths. Conduction is one of its great virtues. They go to a similar speed with ball and without the ball. Something special for a player.
Your best physical condition allows the Portuguese to be more consistent and more repetitive efforts at the races. His long strides and career progression in conflict with the shortest moves of the Argentine and explosives.
Dodge

Dodge as such, pure dribble, is a matter of Messi. You do not need two feet to face and leave. They are dribbling short, dry, electric. Exit to the right and left.? With the ball always hit the bottom. Your sense of anticipation to play when the ball defender teaches is unique. He also knows very well protecting the ball putting his body between the opponent and the ball. In this aspect than the Portuguese. It is his great expertise. In this sense it is the player most unbalancing the world.
The dribbling of Cristiano needed now more feet, more space, though youth was his great weapon to beat the rivals. Put the ball stuck under his foot. His touches are longer. Nevertheless, he is considered a born dribbler that has evolved and is now much more versatile. Their bicycles are a constant in his game and leaves both sides equally.
-Goal Attempt

The Portuguese dominated all records of the auction. Shoot with both legs in the race and top speed. Such is his confidence in the surprise hit that many times the marker to shoot from improbable positions, almost blind. His power allows him to try kicking from middle and long distance. In the 2008 season, won the Golden Boot as top scorer in Europe. Scored 42 goals.
Messi is always looking for the left profile to search for the top with his good leg. It is more predictable in this sense, but he knows very well feint and alternate shot in a dribble more speed, which seriously hampers the work of the marker he pursues.

The headed goal by the end of Rome to Manchester is the exception that co-sign the rule. That’s header, was suspended in the air, he had signed himself Santillana, but not exactly the forte of Messi. Quite the contrary that Cristiano Ronaldo in England has improved so much in the passing game is now one of its most important facets. It has a great power and handles very well jump breaks the header. Also expected to reverse. Attack the ball.

Just arrived at Real Madrid and is still making a place in the white dress, but Christian was known in Manchester as one of the leaders of the team and what is indisputably in the selection of Portugal, where he is captain.? His strong character, his ambition to win every time he speaks for itself. Messi gives the feeling of being more timid, although those who are close to the Barca dressing room ensure that privacy is a reference to his teammates. His character is more moderate.

A kicks Cristiano determination is total. It is his great expertise. His repertoire of pitches is such that ensures direct a dozen goal-kick and penalty shoot a season. Throw break, a place above the barrier on the outside. It is less infallible from 11 feet with significant errors such as the Champions League final in Moscow. Messi almost always succeeds in a penalty shootout while not the only specialist team. Less is lavished on the faults where search placement and angles.
