We should get @Zacheryah to explain the dagdigal flow difference between Messi and Ronaldo. Maybe he might make some sense then?
By merely saying "sup" i make more sense then you, so dont give me this bullshit.
Barcelona's tactical flow with messi is perfect against todays peasant defences. But when encountering a serious team, if they would put messi on the wing, and had a true complete centreforward like cavani/falcao, they would be so, SO much better.
Ronaldo on the other hand is fine, but his madrid, unlike barcelona, is not well balanced. Madrid's style requires some holding mids that are physically strong and domminating, but at the same time excellent at passing and building up.
Essien was bought 4 years to late. De Rossi 4 years ago would also have been a most excellent fit.
But no, buying that overpriced Bale when having Di Maria made morse sense to their senile president
