Sevenfold Ballon d’Or, Lionel Messi could have won more according to Patrice Evra. The Frenchman reckons the Paris Saint-Germain striker hasn’t been fully involved in his career. Or at least not as much as Cristiano Ronaldo.
Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi? No need to ask Patrice Evra the question. The Frenchman, friend and former team-mate of the Portuguese at Manchester United, has always considered him the best player in the world. Some will say that the ex-captain of the Blues necessarily lacks objectivity when he talks about the striker of Al-Nassr. Nevertheless, “Your Pat” made a confession about the Paris Saint-Germain striker. According to him, the seven-time Ballon d’Or would have won many more if he had followed CR7’s example.
« I want to explain why I choose Ronaldo every time. It’s not because he’s my brother, it’s because I’m in love with his work ethic.said Patrice Evra alongside Rio Ferdinand on the YouTube channel Five. I feel like Messi, God just gave him a talent and said ‘go play with those kids’. And Cristiano had to work for it. Even if he had the talent, he had to work. If Messi had the same work ethic as Ronaldo, he would probably have 15 Ballons d’Or today. »
Evra understands pro-Messi
« I’m in love with hard working people, that’s why I chose Ronaldo over Messiinsisted the consultant. I know after the World Cup people say Messi is the GOAT. But Ronaldo is on another level. I don’t want to compare them. If someone chooses Messi, I will agree with him. We have a different preference, a different opinion. But we should be happy and grateful. We played with these players and we see them, they are still playing. There is no wrong answer. “Proof that a fan of Cristiano Ronaldo can also admire Lionel Messi.
