🚨 Luka Modrić when asked who is the more complete player between Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi ahead of Portugal vs Croatia in the FIFA World Cup Round of 32:
🗣️ Reporter:
“Luka, you’ve played against both Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. Who do you believe is the more complete player?”
🗣️ Luka Modrić:
“What Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi have done for football can never be overlooked. They have defined an entire generation, and we may never see two players like them again.”
“If you’re asking me who the more complete player is, then for me it’s Cristiano Ronaldo.”
“Not everybody can do what Cristiano does. To be the most complete player, you have to be able to score with both feet, score headers, diving headers, bicycle kicks, create chances, deliver assists, dribble past defenders, hold the ball under pressure and physically dominate defenders when necessary.”
“Cristiano Ronaldo gives you all of that. He has every tool a footballer could ask for, and that’s why I consider him the most complete.”
“Lionel Messi is magical. He can never be overlooked. The way he carries the ball, the way he sees passes that nobody else can see and the calmness he brings to the game are on another level.”
“What Messi can do, only Messi can do. He has a gift that football may never witness again.”
“But if we’re talking about completeness, about having every weapon in your game and being able to hurt opponents in every possible way, then for me Cristiano Ronaldo is the most complete footballer.”
“They are both all-time greats, but if I had to choose just one based on completeness, my answer will always be Cristiano Ronaldo.
