There are few players -and trainers- that think that Cristiano Ronaldo is better that Leo Messi. The hegemony of the Argentinian footballer is a fact in the modern football. Until the point that an investigation has ensured that there has not been anybody better that he in all the history of the Spanish league. And in Europe follows beating records.
And perhaps the best anecdote to define the greatness of the Argentinian explained it Henry does some years. It went out in a fantastic conversation with Rio Ferdinand. "I do not know if some time saw to do to Ronaldo what go you to explain on Messi... And I have played with many big players. Already you know the typical situations in a training where do you a fault and the trainer says you: 'it has not been lacking, follows playing'. Here sucedió something that never had seen before. We were playing a partidito, but no the typical in a very reduced space. Messi gave turn and said: 'it was not lacking?'. Then it went running until where was the archer and said him: Give me the ball! It took the ball and gambeteó to the whole team until marking. I do not know if a lot of players can attain this", revealed the French.
Henry, that formed part of that unforgettable team of Guardiola in the year 2009, stands out the difficulty of the exploit: "This was not as in the school. They were not boys. It had to go through on of Puyol, Touré, Busquets, Rafa Márquez. And it did it. After marking the first goal, stole me the balloon and marked another and afterwards another... And afterwards already it remained more relaxed. Messi wants to win always. And in the trainings surpass to all the world", added the ex Barcelona.
Henry concluded his reference to the Flea of this way: "it Is like a gift, what does do not know if we will see again it. And it does it of a natural form. Cristiano does it but from the work. This is the difference, because at the end the mentality is the same: they want to win always".
Messi, smart for a long year
The Argentinian is conscious that without Neymar will have to step advance -another more, if it fits-. It wants to go back to win it all and conquer the Balloon of Gold. Besides, next summer it contests the World-wide of Russia and Messi wants to carry finally to Argentina to the international scepter, what would be definitely the culmination of a career excelsa.
