Boateng distinguishes Messi and Ronaldo

Former midfielder Kevin-Prince Boateng recently attracted attention when he gave his clear opinion about Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Ronaldo is a model of will, discipline and hard work.

According to him, Messi possesses a special talent that no young player can reach, while Ronaldo is a model of will, discipline and hard work.

Boateng advises young players not to look up to Messi as a role model. He believes the Argentine superstar has a natural talent that rarely appears in the football world a second time. “You will never be Messi. He has a gift from God in his left foot. We cannot be like him,” Boateng said.

However, the former Ghanaian international believes that Ronaldo represents the spirit of constant training and effort. Despite his talent, the Portuguese superstar had a turning point in his career when he chose to eliminate flashy playing style to focus all his energy on efficiency and results.

“You can be a bit like Ronaldo, because it is the result of hard work. He told himself to stop showing off and start working hard,” Boateng added.

Boateng’s statement once again touched on a debate that has lasted for more than a decade about two contemporary footballing icons. If Messi is honored for his natural ability, sense of play and limitless creativity, Ronaldo is proof that discipline, coaching science and determination can take a player to the top.

Boateng does not deny that both are legends, but his message to the younger generation: Messi is a unique gift, and Ronaldo is a role model. In an era where individual effort and professional training mindset determine careers, that message continues to resonate strongly.
