The individual prizes are, in a small percentage, subjective. Further of numbers and titles there are some personal preferences that finish decanting the scales in favour of ones or others. Cristiano is an animal, but costs to understand that in the next months go to empatar to Leo Messi in numbers of Balloons of Gold.
Why? It is evident that Messi is to another level, but no longer only of Cristiano, surely of all the footballers that have had previously. Perhaps Maradona, Cruyff or Peeled, in his climax, were better, but any was able to keep in a so sublime level during so many years followed. That was surely the big virtue of the Argentinian, that carries a decade impressing in the terrains of game.
Messi has gone losing -perhaps- something of speed in comparison to his starts, but has won vision of game and tactical intelligence. In the current panorama futbolísticos it is necessary few able players to understand a party how he. Where plant to be able to have a positive impact in the game of the team is difficult and Leo has transformed it in something routine.
Cristiano is simply -that is not pejorative- a goleador born. A predatory that does not be used to to fail. Of face to goal few define like him. But his contribution to collective level reduces in excess to this. It is not that player desequilibrante of does years. Has speed, but every time has acclimated more to be in the area, no in a band.
Neymar, the heir
If there is a footballer that can dominate in a future that is Neymar. Magic, desequilibrante, genuine. The Brazilian does things with the balloon that seem of fantasy. But it is missing him this voracity goleadora of the others two and, in comparison with Messi, needs a lot of more humility.
In definite, Cristiano will carry surely the prize, but those that understand of football know that Messi is a stair by on. It is not desprestigiar to the luso, simply recognise distinct levels. One was born to play to the football, the another is done to play to the football.
