What will be the successor of Messi and CR7?

Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo? This has been the primary issue among football fans in the past decade. Everyone has an opinion and everyone has to have a favorite. In fact, for some, like Johan Cruyff, it is neither a legitimate debate.

"There is a big difference with just being a great scorer and be the best player," argued the Dutch legend. "Every person who understands football knows that. It is absolutely ridiculous to me that some people actually think that Messi is not the best. This is not about Cristiano at all. He's a fantastic player, one of the best scorers in history. Treatment is like Messi is ridiculously good. "

Good taste

However, for others, like Luis Figo, it's all a matter of taste. "It's like choosing between white truffles or caviar," said the former captain Portuguese.

 What is beyond dispute is that the pair brought their best over the last 10 years, resulting in a a pair of football excellence, undoubtedly unprecedented. Messi and Ronaldo not only goals hit records, they broke them. They reached a consistent level of quality never before seen, dominating the Golden Ball since 2008 and winning every Goal 50 one by one.

It was truly a golden age for individual brilliance - but it raises the question of what will happen when the time finally reach Ronaldo and Messi. It is a fact, Ronaldo continues to have perfect physical, suggesting he could excel at the highest level for another four or five years. However, now 30, it is inevitable that their power may begin to decrease.

Lionel Messi, meanwhile, is 28 years old, so is still reaching its peak in time the maturity must marry perfectly with his innate ability. Still, the Argentine player has been more susceptible to muscle problems than his great rival Ronaldo, and the question is how long these talents begin to decline.

So when Messi and Ronaldo finally reduce the level to mere mortals, who will take the responsibility of maintaining the standards by which the large double was judged so far?

The most obvious candidate and seemingly natural heir to his teammate Messi is Barcelona, ​​Neymar. Since exploded in Santos, speedy striker has been touted as the next. Despite a somewhat slow start in his career at Barca, he has not disappointed. Neymar carried the weight of the nation's hopes on his shoulders in the World Cup last year in Brazil. And even played happy and freedom of a seemingly relieved man, before being cruelly cut the quarterfinals in the match against Colombia, after input Juan Zuniga.

Of course, there are many doubts about the seemingly frail physique of Neymar. Former player and hero of Croatia, Zvonimir said last year: "Neymar can win the Ballon d'Or is unlikely he is not so good, so powerful He is an incredible talent, but is currently far from being part of?.. first class. It will never be Ronaldo, Ibrahimovic and Iniesta, and especially not be Messi. "

However, statistics show that Neymar is progressing at a remarkable pace. He scored only 15 goals in his debut season in Spain. At last, made 39. In addition, his recent great goal against Rayo Vallecano was significant because it came in the absence of the injured Messi, reaching 60 goals for Barcelona with 79 matches unless the aforementioned Cruyff.

Neymar is proving himself to be a man for big moments, as evidenced by the fact that he scored goals in every game from the 8th to the final of the Champions League last season. In addition, Thomas Vermaelen recently admitted that he and his fellow defenders of Barcelona has many problems to contain Messi and Neymar in training. "They leave us open-mouthed," said the Belgian. "They are two demons."

Distractions off the field

The only doubts about Neymar capacity to be the heir of Messi are the distractions off the pitch. Unfortunately, the captain of the Brazilian national team has been investigated in Catalonia regarding legal issues surrounding the transfer and Cruyff is concerned about the constant controversy.

"He is always in the center of the storm by things outside of football," opined the Barca icon. "Neymar needs to play football to improve and develop in many areas it will only get playing football. The problem is that it is constantly on the negative things."

In terms of pure talent, however, there should be no stopping Neymar, soon becoming the most lethal striker. However, it could face stiff competition for the title as the dominant football force.

In fact, Paul Pogba has been touted for greatness since he was a teenager. The only person who had reservations was his coach at Manchester United, Alex Ferguson, who inexplicably authorized the departure of the French from Old Trafford for Juventus in 2013. The legendary Scottish coach has since blamed the Mino Raiola agent on the transfer of Pogba to Turin, but it is clear that Ferguson remains totally unhappy about half of the amount, arguing earlier this year that Juve should have accepted the offer of € 80 million from Barcelona made to the 22 years in the summer.

However, while Pogba had a really quiet start to the new season, the French legend Zinedine Zidane has no doubts about the potential of his compatriot. "The word 'error' is not something you normally associate with Alex Ferguson at Manchester United, but I think it was a mistake to let Paul Pogba leave. He will continue to be one of the best midfielders in Europe and he was the natural successor to Paul Scholes, someone who could have built the team around. "

This is a view shared by Rio Ferdinand, who remains perplexed by his former club have not fought tooth and nail to hold Pogba. "I saw firsthand what he could do and the player he could become," said the defender retired recently. "He has the height and strength of Patrick Vieira and feet of a dancer. He loves the game and wants to play in the best way. I could say with confidence that since I remain injury free, Pogba will be the best player in the world the next four years. Yeah, it's very good. "

The goalkeeper of Juventus and the selection of Italy, Gianluigi Buffon, also knew from the moment she laid eyes on Pogba that he was a special player and believes the French can compete with Messi and Ronaldo.

"After only a few training sessions, we saw how good he was. It can not be the same player who saw in Manchester, we think they might need glasses. I've never seen a player who is so good at his age, he It is so strong, so gifted technically, has outstanding play throughout the field. Pogba can do things that can only Pogba, like Messi and Ronaldo. "

Only time will tell, of course, Pogba and Neymar can come close to competing with the achievements of Messi and Ronaldo. It seems highly unlikely, however. Even Eden Hazard, Jose Mourinho claimed to have performed better than Ronaldo last season, admitted he will never be able to score goals with the same regularity that the remarkable Portuguese. "I often wonder what I can do to become like Messi and Ronaldo and do 50, 60 goals in a season," said the Belgian earlier this year. "I try, of course, but I realize that I will never be a true goalscorer It is not me is mainly the mental:... At 2-0, do not think it is enough, for example Sometimes, I still think after a goal 'that's enough'. I'm looking for records as some other players. If you can score 15 to 20 goals every season, I will be very happy, "he said.

The difference between Messi and Ronaldo and the rest is that they have no doubts about their own ability, and at the same time, have an insatiable desire for further success and more and more goals. So, for now, it is likely that it is better to take advantage to enjoy them fully as we can, as we were to never see again.

As former United striker Diego Forlan says: "We are fortunate to be able to watch Ronaldo and Messi at its best Enjoy them while they last, they are special talent.".

"Bale can compete with Messi for the Ballon d'Or," said coach Welsh

The Welsh coach, Benjamin Toshack, who has led Real Madrid and now in Wydad Casablanca said the attacking midfielder Gareth Bale can fight with Lionel Messi for the Ballon d'Or is played in its original position.

 "I know Bale since he was fourteen. The main problem is that paid a lot of money for him and want him to play in a position which is not natural. If you want to see melhro Bale put it in the right place. He can compete with Messi for the Ballon d'Or, he is younger, Toshack told the Radio Catalunya. 

The Welsh also talked about the rout 4-0 Barcelona over Real Madrid: "It is natural to question the work of a coach, even if he has just arrived, however, I do not think that's very clever of the Real. Madrid not wait. I see no need to change the coach now. "

With the new contract, Neymar can be the third highest paid in the world

After renew with Barcelona, ​​Neymar is expected to gain € 15 million (R $ 60 mi) per year.

The great performances shirt 11 can make the Catalan club make him the third highest paid player in the world. Information is the Spanish newspaper Marca.

Barca aims to increase earnings and consequently the termination fine player, which is currently set at € 180 million (R $ 715.2 mi). The intention of the team is a possible buyer needs to shell out € 1 billion (US $ 4bn) to remove him from Camp Nou.

According to Sport, the club also knows that Neymar can become even more valuable to the end of the year, depending on their performance in the Club World Cup in December. If the link is even signed, the Brazilian will be second only to Lionel Messi (R $ 147 mi per year) and Cristiano Ronaldo (R $ 107.8 mi).

Trading may have been accelerated due to recent statements father of Neymar, who said that if both follow with fiscal problems in Spain could seek a new club. Manchester United have made an offer to the ace last season.

"Messi is the best ever and is getting better," says Xavi

The former Barcelona midfielder, Xavi says that the winner of Goal 50, Lionel Messi is already the best player in history and believes that the Argentine striker can get even better.

 Xavi and Messi played together for more than a decade in the Camp Nou, winning 24 titles in the most successful period in the whole history of the Catalan club.

The midfielder, now 35, took a break in his career Blaugrana early in the season after winning the triple heart in 2014-15, but is still impressed with former teammate Messi, following now for your new club, Al Sadd, Qatar. "He has had an amazing career," said the ambassador of Adidas in Dubai to Goal when it opened the new store GO-Sport at the Mall of the Emirates.

"He continues to get better and better. Since he started in 17 or 18 years, he has improved every year. And every year it can get even better," he said. "For me it is the best soccer player in history."

Xavi made short journey from Qatar to Dubai on behalf of Adidas to meet and greet fans, and test the latest edition of the Adidas Primeknit X and Ace, cleats with new skills more in store.

The winner of the World Cup has grown in the famous Barcelona academy, La Masia, but the club was banned from performing transfers in 2015 due to irregularities in the recruitment of young players for their youth system.

"This is a matter of FIFA, a legal issue," said Xavi. "La Masia has always worked very well with young players and Barca are trying to improve their relationship with FIFA."

"Barca always uses players graduated from La Maria and this is very important. Now you have (Andres) Iniesta, (Sergio) Busquets, Sergi Roberto, (Marc) Bartra, Jordi Alba, Messi, many players created at home," He said.

"It is very important for Barca that the relationship with FIFA this good and orderly so that young people are authorized to work."

Meanwhile, Xavi says he is impressed with the standard of players in Qatar. "The tactical level is lower than in Europe," he said. "But the technical and physical levels are very good. There are several good players in Al Sadd and other clubs here. The level is very high."

And the midfielder does not know whether to follow the coaching career as former co-Barca team and coaches, Pep Guardiola and Luis Enrique.

"I do not know," he said. "I think it will work for sure with football. Maybe as a coach, perhaps as a manager. Football is my passion, of course, concluded".

James, public enemy number one

Nobody is very clear that true James Rodriguez. It is true that technical profile Benitez often seek a scapegoat within the team to demonstrate his power: cases should be recalled Sanchis Capello, Mourinho with Pedro Leon and now with Hazard at Chelsea and Benitez himself with Terry also at Chelsea.

But one of the best players, if not the best right now, the template is elected seems to have no meaning.

James Rodriguez has simply done his job when injuries have allowed. The Colombian arrived in great shape after the Copa America, but Benitez told him from the beginning. Still, every time I stepped on the pitch, James wore his class on the grass, and against Betis-also signed two real screamers.

After recovering from his injury problems they began. In a gala of GQ James he said the 15 days had well physically and that if more was not played because Benitez did not consider it necessary. The technician did not feel well the words of the attacker, which was perhaps why a substitute in a key match for the white team like Sevilla. In the second part, the Colombian jumped the field and was the only player who kicked a little team and even scored the 2-3 to the whites.

Their participation in the Classic was blamed on the directive of the club to play with "the best" in the most important game, but in the field posiciíon condemned to wander the same as a poor ghost. Benitez's true intentions were against Shakhtar, as James sat on the bench and did not play a single minute. Danilo, Kroos and Benzema did have minutes, and the Colombian was so clearly marked as the great survivor Classic because it was the only player who could not recover on the field - apart from Navas, who had day off as the team He was mathematically qualified for the second round.

In Colombia the fans do not understand the reason for this fixation with James, and why it has made its star in the pillory, but all are clear that the former Monaco will flip the situation because even the most foolish Coaches could contain the flow of a football genius like James Rodriguez.
