In a video with Rio Ferdinand on Youtube, former Manchester United left-back Patrice Evra once again explained why in his opinion, Cristiano Ronaldo’s achievements are superior to Leo Messi’s.
“I want to explain why I choose Ronaldo every time. It’s not because he is our brother, it’s because I’m in love with his work ethic,” Mundo Deportivo quote Evra saying.
“I feel like to Messi, God gave him the talent, while Cristiano had to work to have it. He had the talent but he had to work for it.
“If Messi had the same work ethic as Cristiano Ronaldo, he would have probably won 15 Ballon d’Ors already. I am in love with hard-working people, that’s why I choose Ronaldo over Messi.”
No matter how their career ends, it is the work ethic that makes Ronaldo a better role model for the young generation.
