DBasia.news – Two Manchester United players, Odion Ighalo and Nemanja Matic are compelled to choose Cristiano Ronaldo over the Barcelona star, Lionel Messi.
Ronaldo and Messi are the two best players in recent years. Both players have continued to break records and become the best at individual awards.
Not surprisingly, debate arose as to who was the best between Messi and Ronaldo. Although the two players are no longer in one league, but the debate has continued to emerge.
Ighalo and Matic were also involved in the debate. According to them, hard work is what distinguishes the two players.
“All because of hard work. I believe in hard work. In the meantime, Messi has received a gift. Messi is a genius and an extraordinary player,” Ighalo said as proclaimed by the Manchester Evening News.
“However, Ronaldo is working hard every day to chase Messi, try to win, and try to do everything. That is something extraordinary.”
Ighalo’s statement received support from his team-mate, Nemanja Matic. The Croatian player feels that what Ronaldo has achieved comes from hard work.
“They are different. Ronaldo has talent, but most of the success he achieved was due to hard work. Meanwhile, Messi is a talented player,” said Matic.
“I didn’t say that Messi doesn’t work hard. He certainly worked hard, but they are different,” he continued.
Odion Ighalo and Nemanja Matic is on a mission to bring Manchester United to a Champions League ticket next season. Currently, the Red Devils are three points adrift of fourth place, Chelsea.
