The problem with some of you is that, you pick the tweet to respond to Same me said, Lionel Messi was the best player at the 2026 FIFA World Cup but was robbed for Rodri That was how one of you was saying I included Jude Bellingham in the FIFPRO team, when he clearly skipped where I mentioned, he has no business in the team k

It has actually gotten to a stage that I don't even understand anymore I begin to wonder if people suddenly develop AMNESIA about Cristiano Ronaldo It's why digital footprint is crazy They have planted 'Ronaldo is just a goalscorer' into so many people's head If I don't follow and understand the game very well, I would have followed the same route too It's easier to follow public noise, it's the easiest thing to do but I am very ANALYTICAL, not only when dissecting football or sports but in life generally Public opinion do not shape my thinking except I want to become lazy or just overlook it There is no way, you will watch Cristiano Ronaldo from 2003 till 2021 and you will say he is just about goals It means you don't know the game at all It's like telling me Frank Lampard is all about goals because he scored tons of it That means you are feeding on what the public is telling you "The public actually said, Lampard is just all about goals anyway 😂" Majority saying it doesn't make it correct Another thing is RECENCY BIAS For a fact, Lionel Messi has had better ending than Ronaldo From 2021 till 2026, he won two Copa America and won the FIFA World Cup, got to another World Cup final and won more Ballon d'Or While for Ronaldo, it wasn't the same Since leaving Juventus, it hasn't been rossy especially that exit at Manchester United and Portugal not doing well internationally too And of course he became a full center forward The 2022 World Cup win actually changed more narrative towards Messi He gained more fans and people decamped to his side, which is normal because it's the human attitude You know how the World Cup is highly rated. The media took it as the deal breaker Been a media fan favourite, they were waiting for Messi to win the World Cup and the moment he did, they sprung into action The media is a crazy space, it is where I work, if you don't have a mind of your own, you would be convinced easily And the bigger the platform, the louder your voice Messi failed at PSG but the media didn't tell you he failed Even Messi himself knows he failed at PSG But The same media said: "Ronaldo's goals hurt Juventus and Manchester United" In the history of football, I have never heard it before that a player's goals can hurt his team Do you know how crazy it is to come up with such a narrative? It's an absurd thing to say but guess what? Journalists, (the same people that vote for awards and work in big platforms) Ex professional players (that played the game to the highest level) They all agreed to it and that narrative travelled so fast Now, tell me how an average football fan with a fickle mind won't accept it? The media has labeled "Cristiano Ronaldo is just goals" and a lot of people are flying with it Going against them made me look crazy The first thing many say is "Do I know more than them?" They are this and that And I keep saying it..... They don't know more than me "The difference is the platform, their name and their numbers"
