Wipey had Ronaldo on a leash when they came to the Lane a few seasons back, in his pocket from whistle to whistle, yet Ronaldo is lauded as some kind of wizard and, despite being a consistantly reliable defender, Lee was knocked for being too lightweight/too short/not smart enough/not suited to the English game on a regular basis.
Ronaldo has skills but has no passion. He can skip around like swan lake all day, but as said above, there's no love or commitment, just a robotic focus on achieving. Reckon he's ever, ever heard the phrase "it's not the winning, it's the taking part", or do you think his parents, coaches and managers, since his twelfth birthday, have been all Ricky Bobby - "If you're not first, you're last!" mentality?
Messi has a passion to play football and it shows. He's more fluid, tougher, quicker to turn and doesn't have the cocky approach that the lady-boy possesses. And he does it all with a big fat grin on his face.
