Capello: Messi is a born genius, Ronaldo is the product of hard work

Comparisons between Messi and Ronaldo in the football world continue. This was reported by Zamin.uz.

The question of who is better has been debated for many years and this discussion seems far from over. Recently, the famous Italian coach Fabio Capello also shared his opinion on this topic.

He participated in the “Hat-Trick” program on the “ON Sport” channel and openly revealed the main difference between the two players. Capello praised Cristiano Ronaldo as an excellent goal scorer and highly valued his scoring ability and physical fitness.

He also recognized Ronaldo as a historic figure. However, the coach did not include the Portuguese player among the “geniuses.”

According to him, Ronaldo is an athlete who reached the top through his hard work, discipline, and determination. However, he lacks the innate genius, natural talent, and intuitive miraculous play on the field like Messi, Diego Maradona, or Brazilian Ronaldo.

The coach believes that Messi and the other two legends hold a special place in football history due to their innate talents. Ronaldo, on the other hand, achieved greatness through hard work.

This opinion has been expressed several times before, but Capello’s new explanation is again causing significant discussions on social media. Some support this view, while others oppose it, saying it downplays Ronaldo’s hard work.

Many believe that Messi and Ronaldo conquered football in two different styles. Messi — with his natural talent and extraordinary play, Ronaldo — through iron discipline and hard work.

Determining who is more legendary depends on each fan’s personal perspective. What about you, do you agree with Capello’s opinion or do you think it was said just to further fuel the debate?
