Robben’s Take: Messi Over Ronaldo
Robben, who has played against both Messi and Ronaldo during his illustrious career, explained his reasoning in an interview. According to the Dutchman, Messi’s simplicity on the pitch sets him apart. He highlighted how Messi doesn’t rely on unnecessary tricks or showmanship to dominate a game. Instead, the Argentine maestro makes everything look effortless, using his speed, intelligence, and unparalleled skill to outwit defenders.
“Messi doesn’t use tricks. He does everything quickly and efficiently on the pitch,” Robben remarked. This view aligns with the sentiments of many football enthusiasts who believe Messi’s ability to influence games with his natural talent and football IQ makes him unique.
Robben’s admiration for Messi comes from the consistency with which the Argentine international has delivered at the highest level throughout his career. Whether it’s his dribbling, playmaking, or goal-scoring prowess, Messi has constantly wowed the football world without relying on elaborate techniques to prove his greatness.
