The Cristiano Ronaldo Vs Lionel Messi debate has surfaced for the umpteenth time. Former Manchester United boss, Alex Ferguson has given his verdict on who's the best between the two. Recall that the Portuguese spent 5 years under his stewardship at Old Trafford.
Speaking at an event in Dublin on Tuesday, the former Scottish manager said
"It's interesting to me that we hear so much about two players these days: Ronaldo and Messi. Now don't get me wrong, Messi is a fantastic player, it's like he's
wearing slippers when he controls the ball, but here, for me, is the
difference: Messi is a Barcelona player but Ronaldo could play for
Stockport County and score a hat trick.
"He has everything. He can shoot with both feet, head the ball, he's
as brave as a lion, and here's something else people overlook. During my
time at Manchester United I was lucky enough to have a lot of people
who put in countless extra hours to get better.
"Gary Neville turned himself from an average footballer into a
wonderful one because of his work ethic, as did David Beckham, but
Ronaldo used to completely exhaust himself, and still does. He just
wanted to be the best in the world."
