Former English footballer, Steven Gerrard, has expressed his preference between Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.
Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi? Who is the best player of his generation? The debate is endless and no answer is unanimous. That being said, many observers do not hesitate to get involved and express their opinion on the subject. This was particularly the case for Steven Gerrard recently.
Gerrard praises Cristiano Ronaldo
The English icon, who now coaches at Al Etiffaq, has joined the pro-Ronaldo club. For him, the Portuguese is not only the best player of his generation, but also of the entire history of football.
“I think that the arrival of the best player in history, Cristiano Ronaldo, in January, was a very good thing for the Saudi championship, did he declare. He still has a lot to offer football. After the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo, in the space of five or six months, we saw the popularity of the League increase and other renowned players joined Saudi Arabia.
“There is a difference between the championship before and after the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo, that is clear, and I was also very happy with the invitation from Al-Ettifaq to develop here as a coach , which I really like”, added the young coach.
Gerrard and Ronaldo often clashed in the Premier League when one played for Liverpool and the other for Manchester United. This might explain why the Scouser is more impressed with CR7.
