Black Stars captain, Asamoah Gyan, has said he would rather have football icon Lionel Messi in his team than Portuguese great Cristiano Ronaldo.
According to Gyan, the difference between the two outstanding players is that Messi is naturally endowed and, unlike Ronaldo, could perform well without training.
He, however, acknowledged Ronaldo’s diligence, which Gyan claims have been the secret to the Manchester United legend’s success.
“For me, I feel Messi is gifted. You need Messi in your team more than Ronaldo. I admire Ronaldo because of his hard work. He has worked hard to get to where he is. He is someone who can’t go two days without training because he would feel he can’t play anymore but Messi can sit for two weeks and do a little shake-up and will still perform. So there is that difference,” Gyan said.
He further stated why he would rather have Messi on his team than Ronaldo.
“I think Messi will be better in my team because he can take five players out easily,” he explained.
