Was Sir Alex Ferguson right?
Whenever the name Cristiano Ronaldo comes up, one man will surely be mentioned alongside his success and that man is no other person than Sir Alex. The then Manchester United coach had first seen the then light looking but very skilled dribbler destroyed his team while he was a player at Sporting and the manager signed him the next season. While Ronaldo has always been arrogant during his early years as a footballer, his attitude had changed over the years and he has become much calmer. Much of this change could be attributed to how Sir Alex Ferguson has handled Ronaldo while he was a player at the club. Sir Alex was a very decent and disciplined manager who isn’t afraid to dish out heavy punishment to any player regardless of what you bring to the table. The presence of senior figures at the club such as Keane, Louis Saha, Neville, Paul Scholes and Van der ser who were all been known as no-nonsense players also saw to it that Ronaldo was on his best behaviour whenever he is in the dressing room. From that moment on, Ronaldo has learned to be disciplined in all that he does, down to his feeding. The bond between Ferguson and Ronaldo was like that of a father to son and that helped the then pacey winger excel in the Manchester United shirt in his first time out. Even after Ronaldo left Manchester United, the duo maintained their healthy relationship. That relationship proved pivotal as it helped the red devils engineer the move which saw the Portugal captain return for a second spell after over 13 years away from the club. The move has seen united stock skyrocket and they have become more of a threat to opposition teams and that’s the effect this Ronaldo has brought to the team. He has scored four goals in just three matches and they are promises of more as he hits 37 years in five months’ time. His influence is evident already as other club players have begun to ditch the normal meals taken before kick-off. While Ronaldo has had a good start to life at Man united, his counterpart Messi who also made a move this summer has had a terrible start to life at the French club PSG and many has started to doubt if he could reproduce the form he was known for at Barcelona. Well, it is just three appearances for him with no goals or assist and that’s unlike the Messi we all are accustomed to. On Sunday during his recent outing, the argentine was unable to influence the game as much as he would have wanted and that clearly showed on his face as he was substituted. PSG won the match as they scored after Messi was removed but its no secret that he was far from happy with his own performance, most especially his 25-yard free-kick hit the bar. Of course, this will always big the long old debate of who is the greatest player of the two and at the moment, Ronaldo seems to be leading as he performed excellently. In that regard, A statement made by Sir Alex Ferguson when asked who the better player was between Ronaldo and Messi in the year 2015 has surfaced online. Of course, Sir Alex Ferguson believed Ronaldo was the better player and probably the best of all time and his reason was that CR7 would easily go into any team and score why the same could not be said about Messi. At the moment Ferguson seems to be right as Messi as struggled in his new home while Ronaldo as thrived in Man United. Even Lewandoski once said that Ronaldo is a player that could fit into any team style of play while Messi will only work in a team that has a system of play. It will be rude and naïve of anyone to write Messi off yet as he started last season slowly too but still ended up outscoring Ronaldo. For now, we observe as things unfold and we will decide on who the greatest player his at the end of the season.
