The Brazilian midfielder, formerly of FC Barcelona and now at Juventus, is one of the players who have had the privilege of sharing the same locker room as the two superstars, Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. The Brazilian says more about the personalities of the two men.
Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, it’s a debate as old as the world. Everyone agrees and the last to say is none other than Brazilian midfielder Arthur Melo. In an interview with the Desimpedidos channel, the Brazilian international lifted the veil on an element of difference between the two “recordmen” of the Ballon d’Or.
“Everyone has their own way of showing their leadership. Leo manifests it with gestures, no matter how bad it may seem. A lot of people think not, but on the pitch he shows it when he receives the ball, with this thirst to score, with the desire to win the game. You notice it ”, explains the elder of Grêmio.
“Cris (Ronaldo, note) is a boy who expresses himself more. With his arms, his words. And of course, when he catches the ball, he wants to score, etc. In the locker room, he is very participatory. He has people with whom they have more affinity ”, notes the Brazilian.
Finally, it was asked who he would choose as captain of his team between Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. ” It’s difficult. In a match, one scores five goals and the other too. Both are good leaders. But I choose Cristiano, we play together ”
