Cristiano Ronaldo Is More Selfish Than Lionel Messi, Claims Study By Spanish University

By Ollie Irish

I’m getting the words… Gay Chat

A study of C-Ron and Leo, conducted by the University of Coruna in Spain, has revealed some interesting stats:

• More than 80% of Barcelona’s passing moves involve Messi, compared to 60% in the case of Ronaldo and Real Madrid. Conclusion: Messi is more influential and more of a team player. Ronaldo tends to go it alone more often.

• Messi is slightly quicker over short distances – the Argentine hit speeds of up to 20km/h over the first five metres (18km/h was Ronaldo’s top speed). But over longer distances, Ronaldo has the edge, with a top speed of 30km/h over the 12-16m range (Messi reached 28km/h).

• When dribbling, Messi takes more touches than Ronaldo. I.e. Messi’s control is tighter, whereas the longer-striding Ronaldo tends to push the ball out in front of him.

• In dead-ball situations, Ronaldo (119km/h) has a faster shot than Messi (just 95km/h).

Interesting stuff. The study also concluded that in terms of running with the ball, Ron and Leo are the two quickest players of all time. I can believe that.

However, the study didn’t mention which player is faster to get to the changing-room mirror after a match. We give that one to C-Ron, no contest.

    very nice talk and thought you know these guys are very nice to put stuff like this on the net. But you people had to mess it up at the end, talking about the mirror and S*** .. what is wrong with you people, are you game watchers or social watchers? seriously, get your head right, and just because you think people will like you more because you said that then you are so wrong, you sound so idotic and what ever comes with it.. Screw your website.

    Quickest of all-time with the ball?

    What about the real Ronaldo from Brazil? In his Barca and Inter days he was surely quicker than both with or without the ball.
