The excuses of Ronaldo Fans

This battle has been raging ever since Messi set foot on the field – the constant comparisons drawn between two of the greatest players in the game today (Not considering Ronaldinho). Never mind that neither players give a damn, they both play fabulous football and mesmerize us with what can best be described as magic. They have everything we mere mortals dream of. And yet, for an inexplicable reason, Ronaldo fans are always trying to find some seriously lame excuses for a small setback he suffered!

This is a direct result of Messi winning the fourth consecutive Ballon d’Or. And don’t argue with me about its fairness; go speak to the highly reputed international captains who know more about football than us common people.

This article is targeted directly at the glory hunter faction of Ronaldo fans, who seem to have such an utter lack of faith in Ronaldo that they are busy making excuses and insulting Messi. They range from hilarious to insulting. These fans speak like they know Ronaldo very well; so well in fact one could assume they live together, eat together, drink together… for God’s sake, stop this nonsense!

Excuse no. 1: Ronaldo is the best because he has more style, more charisma, and can speak English, while Messi is stuck on Spanish and is a short tiny fellow.

Ok, seriously?! You have to drag a football related argument so far away from football? Charisma and hotness will not score you goals my friend; the football does. Messi has 91 goals in one year, a record that took 40 years to break. So what if he can’t speak English? Believe me people, Messi is the kind of player for whom many of us would happily learn Spanish.

I’m not kidding, this is actually what some fool gave as an excuse! Isn’t this the height of insanity? If speaking English were such an important reason for being so great in football, Sourav Ganguly (Indian Cricket Player) should be tons better than Messi because he speaks fluent English! Heck, I should be better than Messi because I speak fluent English! Or wait, fashion? So being fashionable means being great at football? Then all these fashion models should be thrashing Barcelona on a daily basis!

Seriously? Football and fashion are not related at all!

Excuse no. 2: The Ballon d’Or is biased, Messi never deserved to win it in the first place.

This is like the greatest, most hilarious joke I have ever heard! So the fans think they know football more than international captains, coaches and journalists! Because if you do, YOU should be playing football on an international level. Are you? Have you got any knowledge of the game that extends beyond FIFA and PES? Because not one of you, not one, can ever replicate the skills, dribbling and talent of Messi or of Ronaldo, so you have no business criticizing either of them. And who are you to decide if the Ballon d’Or is biased? So Ronaldo didn’t win it, big deal! Does that in any way reduce his legendary status?

Excuse no. 3: Ronaldo can play in many different leagues, Messi can’t play anywhere but Barcelona.

Ever heard about the term ‘loyalty’? I thought so. You don’t know what loyalty is because you are a bunch of glory hunters. You should be ashamed of yourself. Messi was not rich, he was suffering from a hormone deficiency which Barcelona treated. Due to this act, Messi has stated ever since he joined FC Barcelona that he will never leave. He gives full credit to Barcelona for what he is. That shows his humility as a player. In fact, half the Barca squad are La Masia players. These guys are CREATED by Barcelona, unlike your darling Ronaldo who was brought from United for a record breaking sum. Remember this haters, Barcelona created their champion, Real Madrid brought theirs. And why should Messi leave? He doesn’t run after money and trophies. I mean, what more does he need to win at the club level? Give the poor guy a break and stop making lame excuses!

Excuse no. 4: Messi is only so great because he has Xavi and Iniesta, Ronaldo doesn’t need Xavi and Iniesta.

Now here I would like to quote the phrase used by someone.

Ronaldo is the only ‘Real’ player in Madrid

I’m sure he thought he was being funny, but in reality, that exposed his utter lack of knowledge about football. Ronaldo is not a solo player, he has never scored a goal running 65 meters. Messi has by the way, and so has Maradona. What this writer was trying to suggest is that Real Madrid doesn’t need their squad, Ronaldo is enough. Oh really? Do remind me of his defensive, midfield and goalkeeping duties. Luis Suarez has done more goalkeeping duties for his country than Ronaldo! And Messi often plays deep, sets up assists, which is the job of the midfielder.

And as for Xavi and Iniesta, well, doesn’t Ronaldo have Ozil and Higuain? Again, both players purchased, while Barcelona created theirs. The joke is on you, FAKE Real Madrid fans. Also, if you think a team consisting of the likes of Pepe, Ramos, Di Maria, Casillas, Alonso etc. is negligible compared to Ronaldo, you need to get your eyesight checked.

In conclusion, dear fans, if you cannot swallow a bitter pill, I think you should quit watching football. This world of football is better off without the glory hunters. We do not need ‘fans’ who cannot appreciate good football. I bet 99% of Messi haters don’t even know why they hate him. And I’m sure a lot of Ronaldo fans will bite me, but then again, they will only prove what I said: They are all fakes, glory hunters.
