The real Ronaldo to England

[Reuben]

What im gonna say is a bit out there so just llow it.Hero should be a stat or at least a star on pes cos some players would have it while others wouldnt.Zidane would have it, Ronaldo would have it, not so sure about Platini.Does anyone understand what im try to say here?

obviously we weren't around in his time seems like its easier for you to think of heroes in your own time which is understandable but from what i read he was considered as nothing less than a true leader when he was on the pitch

[Nidge Weasle]

probaly us sigining him tbh but yea, would be great to see him playin in England

You do know your talking to Davicious right :lol:thats my last old joke about you on this forum. You have my word Dav

[Seth Rollins]

Notice I said OUR GENERATION.In our generation, in my opinion, NO ONE touches Zidane.A players career, ability, and achievements can be compared. Zidane's skills are VERY underrated. I'm telling you, top 3 next to Maradona and Pele. He's THERE.

Oh no dont get me wrong I know of his levels, and I certainly didnt mean that he wasnt great cos I know he was, but I only really view certain players as heroes.For example Gazza was no hero, he was good but no hero.I perhaps went too far in sayin Platini isnt but looking at his career achievements in comparison to Zidane's I know who I would build a statue of.

[BATTY BOY BUM BANDIT]

smhPlatini is in same bracket as Cruyff, Van Basten, Beckenbauer them man.R9 and Zizou are in our generations version of that bracket imo.lmao @ Gandalf getting headshotted

[Young £]

Ronaldo has scored nuff goals by himself

Would we agree that Cruyff and Platini played basically the same position?

[Lenny]

ronaldo > zidanezidane aint even better then platiniRonaldo is the only player of our generation that can score a goal on his ownZidane needed movement around him

What about Messii remember the Ronaldo vs Messi debate, Messi could score a goal on his own and has done it.. yet you said Ronaldo's better because hes a team player and what notwhats the difference?Just playing devils advocate here.

lmaodiff ronaldo mateCR7 i was talking about as thats the only messi v ronaldo debate ive been involved in

I know, thats who i ment. CR7im gonna word it different in abit-----edited my original post.

I think Romario was a better finisher than Ronaldo, but in terms of all round play and effectiveness it isn't even a question.As for Platini & Zidane its difficult to compare but when you watch those old videos of Platini it almost feels as if he's playing against man who are handicapped. But then again Zidane was similar, I've never seen a man play ball to his level without changing his facial expression or looking so uninterested.

[Guest Van Der Wavy]

The way Zidane played seemed so effortless...Like, he could play better if he wanted.

init, so relaxed. man just sidestepped people with the ball and didnt even look like he needed to try.

Obviously Ronaldo will be better at scoring goals, he is a striker

Ronaldo's the best player I've ever seen...If he comes to the premiership then me = watching football again tbhZidane and Ronaldo are two different players. No point comparing...I always felt Zizou was a little overrated, but he was still great. Ronaldo at his finest was the greatest player the world's seen. The man was sheer genius. He was DYNAMIC and his strike rate was a goal a game. No one I've seen can match that.

In terms of genius, Zidane>>>>>>>>R9, no contest. But that goes without saying TBH....

[That's That Kid]

Zidane was more of a thinker, yes. Ronaldo just did what he did, but executed it in the fashion that only a genius can...They're both geniuses or genii...whichever you prefer.

[Guest Van Der Wavy]

All depends on what you prefer watching...R9 in terms of sheer skill, tekkers & explosiveness>>>>>>>>>>>>Watching Zidane was like watching Michaelango paint the Cistern chapel...

The Sistine Chapel...and I agree. But watching Ronaldo at his peak was like watching Queen at Live Aid in 1985...sheer dynamic, powerful brilliance.

[Sub_Zero]

You can't compare Ronaldo and Zidane they play completely different positions.

[That's That Kid]

You can't compare Ronaldo and Zidane they play completely different positions.

No, but I suppose you can compare greatness...that's what the pound for pound best means innit. I agree that we can't compare them directly.

Yeah two different types of players but both brilliant at their best.Zidanes brilliance was largely down to how composed he was on the ball. Its so rare to see a player with so much skill but not using it in the same all out attack kind of style. his style of play just looked like he was thinking 'your not on my level'. His vision was insane aswell, just watching video of him playing his play was so simple at times but its like no-one else would think to do that in the given situation. imo when you hear commentators and fans talk about a player pulling the strings and controlling the tempo of the game zidanes play sums up alot of what that means. Ronaldo obviously a different type of player. the appeal was the fact it was like he was untouchable. he got to the level of once he got the ball you came to expect brilliance and a goal at the end of it. everyone when their a kid loves the goalscorers the most. im 19 and everyone around my kinda age group loved ronaldo back in school days. his goalscoring talent was crazy, he wasnt the best finisher in the world but you knew he would score goals no matter what and the way he did it was incredible at times. defenders just got brushed off like it was nothing and his level of skill was funny at times the way defenders got left on the floor scrapping in packs to get the ball from him. As much bad press as he got for his weight problems etc, he is a footballing great. then theres the new generation, who knows who will get to the levels if any, of those players. people like messi etc could but it depends on them really.
