If Ronaldo doesn’t score, he doesn’t speak to anybody. I’ll put a link of an interview Bale said similar thing, & said same few weeks ago. It’s a personal drive, but it can have ripple effect on the team at large. Everyone thinks you’re selfish.

You often wonder why Messi commands so much respect in the Argentine team and it “seems” Ronaldo doesn’t with the Portuguese team, this is primarily because Messi is a selfless person. He puts everyone and the team first. It’s never about him. He’s not concerned about the records, he wants to put everyone on. He cares about everyone. Lautaro Martinez was struggling one time to score goals, he was heavily criticised. Argentina had a penalty against Guatemala, I remember that game so much, Messi gave it to him. Lautaro later said in an interview that that gesture changed everything for him. He appreciated Messi publicly. MacAllister once gave us an idea of how much respect Messi commands. He said everyone joked with him and called him ginger hair in the Argentine squad but he didn’t like it, he said Messi told the guys not to call him that anymore, and nobody dared say it again. Just imagine that level of respect. Otamendi is close to retirement, and hadn’t scored in a long time for his country. Argentina played Zambia in April in a friendly match, they had a penalty, and Messi forced Otamendi to play it, it was a fun moment, the team was happy, this is what earns Messi respect. De Paul once said in an interview that Messi does not prioritise himself, but he prioritises the team. He said Messi is so humble, respectful and accessible. This is what a leader is. For someone who barely says anything, why does he command so much respect? Messi doesn’t go about telling them what he’s won in his career, no ego, he regards everyone, this is why they can die for him. So anytime you see everyone running for him, he didn’t have to remind them that he has carried them on their back before, so now they should carry him😭 Away from Argentina, who remembers when he got to Inter Miami, they gave him captaincy. When Inter Miami won their first trophy, it was time to lift the trophy, and Messi looked for Yedlin, gave him the captain band and they both lifted the trophy together. These are the things that earns you respect. Listen to every team mate Messi has played with, it’s the same thing. He respects everyone, does not think he’s better than anybody, never arrogant. Never for once had he said he’s the best player, not once. Isn’t it unbelievable that someone who has won everything in the game acts like a nobody, listen also to how David Beckham described him on STF. For everything I have said, please verify it. If I can, I’ll post some of these moments in the comments. In this video, Almada offered Messi his seat, but Messi turned it down and sat on the floor. The respect Almada has for him has tripled, that’s how you do it.

Bruno fernandez is a better legend of Manchester United more than Ronaldo and that is a hill I'm willing to die on He did not dip when a career changing offer came multiple times unlike ogunmekpon. he stayed, beleived and helped when times were rough I don't even like the guy but massive respect

🌎🇨🇦 Hat-trick for Jonathan David against Qatar at the World Cup!

quando a idade chega, e o corpo não responde mais ao cérebro, mas ao coração, a qualidade técnica que precisa sobressair. essa copa do mundo será um exposed da REAL diferença entre os dois, onde a comparação de fato, jamais deveria ter existido. os feitos de Messi o fizeram ser comparado aos maiores da história, na briga pelo top 1. o maior feito de Cristiano, foi por um grande período, ter sido comparado com Messi.
