Of course Dani Alves has so many assists, hes passing the ball to Messi you know Maybe the rest of the footballing world is blind and dumb and Ronaldo really is better than Messi like zah zah and puck van heel say
Luckily for you, youtube has an compilation with all assists of Alves: [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GCDaYAa-RTY"]Dani Alves all goals & assists / La Liga 2010-2011 HD - YouTube[/ame]
What you're saying is that C Ronaldo could match Messi's performance and output in the Clasicos if and only if RM would play Barca the way the play the rest of La Liga. However, this is a flawed argument: RM did play Barca like they play the Valencias, Malagas, Bilbaos, etc. and the result was zero goals and zero assists for Ronaldo, and for the whole team in fact. Barca, on the other hand, put five in them that match, so Mourinho naturally has changed the approach.
I don't know why some people keep bothering with explaining why Messi is better than Ronaldo, anyone who claims otherwise is mentaly retarded and I really see no point explaining anything to them.
Not really, no. But even if he did, that was in 2008, so in essence you are saying that Ronaldo has regressed since then, while Messi has become better and better. So? This speaks more about Alves' ability, which we all know he is the best at his position. And that same Alves puts Ronaldo in his back pocket, even though he is not famous for his defensive prowess. Not lately. Real M have been taking their game to Barca in recent Clasicos, yet Ronaldo always disappoints no matter how his team plays against Barca. The two Supercup Clasicos were the closest contests, yet all Ronaldo did was a fluky ricochet goal off of Benzema's shot. What did Messi do fresh off his vacation? 3 goals and 2 assists from both games! Stop theorizing falsely and making excuses. Ronaldo has failed time and time again against Messi and Barca, regardless of how his team has played. At this point it has become a pathetic contest between the two players. Ronaldo keeps trying, yet Messi keeps proving that he is the better player. I'll give you one thing: Ronaldo doesn't play against Barca like he plays against any other team. Against others he looks and plays great, but against Barca he lacks quality and it shows. These are Real's biggest games and Ronaldo, their best player, fails in those games. Messi, at his worst, is still a better more complete player than Ronaldo ever is or will be.
This is hilarious, he wants to see stats that are not recorded now. The only tool you can use is using your eyes next time, Messi dropping back is an ongoing fact and pretty much stays in the midfield even helping in defense way more than he does for Barca.
There are stats about the quantity of fouls/ yellows/ red cards but not who fouled who. At least not in standard after-match stats reports. Messi gets more fouled than any other player for Argentina. Any person with two eyes would agree with that statement. He gets hacked so much times its ridiculous. And Messi not getting red cards for fouls a conspiracy? Maybe it is because he doesn't make them and if he does its extremely rare. Again you should start to watch him more often.
And another insult. But you know what? Start reading a bit more proper. Messi-fan Dr.Know did not talk about how many times Messi is fouled, but about the times he makes a foul; as proof for his defensive work-rate.
