Wayne Rooney Called Cristiano Ronaldo Was Not a Reliable Goal Scorer

DBasia.news –  Former Cristiano Ronaldo’s colleague at Manchester United, Wayne Rooney, exemplified the Portuguese player’s scoring style with Lionel Messi.

According to Rooney, as quoted from marca, Monday (4/20/2020) Ronaldo is indeed very cruel while in the opponent’s penalty box. But Messi has a different way when he has the opportunity to score goals.

“Ronaldo is cruel while in the opponent’s penalty box. He is a murderer. But Messi, you will see him having fun before killing you,” said Wayne Rooney.

“Messi will have fun first to score a goal. Both of them did change the game a lot. Both are equally eager to be able to score goals,” added Rooney.

Interestingly, Rooney also said that he personally prefers Lionel Messi compared to Cristiano Ronaldo.

“Even though I’m friend with Ronaldo. I always like to see Messi. That is the same reason when I am more of Xavi with Scholes.”

“I don’t remember Messi scoring with a hard shot. He will only put the ball into the goal with great calm,” Rooney concluded.

What’s interesting is not only that Rooney has more Messi than Ronaldo. Rooney’s senior in England, David Beckham also expressed a similar opinion.

“Messi himself is a classy player, it is very impossible there are players like him. Cristiano Ronaldo is not as level as Messi, but both of them are above other players,” Beckham said.
