Still there is those who ask who is better, if Leo Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo, and even exist people that affirm that the Portuguese star of the Real Madrid is more complete that the Argentinian. Johan Cruyff has spoken on this atrocity comparing to 'The Flea' with 'The Bug' and leaving clear which is his opinion, in some statements collected by the newspaper 'Sport'.

"To me always they have liked me the small and technical players because I have been a bit like this. Ronaldo is a big player, but is a goleador. Never it will be the player that can create team or occupy that the team play well. He occupies of the ending and of the action. It is a big player", has begun, standing out the virtues of one and another. And it is that for the Dutch "Messi is much more player of team that Christian. It gives passes and produces a lot of assistances, so for me like player, no like goleador although it also have marked a lot of goals, is better Messi. For me there is a big difference between being a big player and be a goleador".

In this coyuntura, has clear that "the Balloon of Gold has to be for Messi. There is not discussion". Anyway, it is difficult to compare to two players that have distinct characteristics. "In details, is very different what is good and what is bad. I always say, or deal to explain, that I was considered the best player of Europe but our goalkeeper was better goalkeeper that I, the right side also was better right side that I, the midfield player was better that I. However, they said that I was the best of all. It is necessary to look the things of different form. For me the important always is the team".

In another order, Cruyff has stood out that feels a deep admiration to Xavi Hernández. "For me one of the best players of the Barça was Xavi because it always was in the centre of the team, controlled the speed, knew when it was necessary to give him a lateral pass, when it was necessary to delay. Only few people sees this. Alas it is difficult to explain because anybody understands it".

Cruyff, besides, also sees differences between the FC current Barcelona and the one of Pep Guardiola. "Claro that see differences between the current Barcelona and the one of Pep Guardiola. Acaso You do not see them? I limit me to think when you ask me. I do not want to criticise. Only it is necessary to see the characteristics of the players of the centre of the field".
