KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Zlatan vs. Ronaldo vs. Messi

So in your opinion, who is the best of the 3? For me, its a toss up between Zlatan and Messi with Ronaldo definitely 3rd best.

Zlatan is just on another level.

I honestly think Zlatan is overrated. Football is and always will be a team game. He couldnt be in Pep's barcelona squad because Zlatan thinks Zlatan and not "team", which is exactly the philosophy Guardiola was enforcing with messi, Iniesta and Xavi etc. For me, a player who can play part of the team without neccessarily having the team built around you is by far the better player. Ronaldo may be arrogant but I think he has learnt over the years to get other team mates involved in the game. He's still an arrogant cocky [oops], but less so these days on the pitch.

Why Suarez hasnt been mentioned in this poll I have no idea as last year I believe he was better than all three. For me he was the best player in the world last season especially when he hit top form halfway through the season.

Ronaldo and Messi play in a league where you have 3 maybe 4 decent sides and every other team just roll over and take a the phat Madrid, Barca, Athletico hiding therefore there stats and goals are inflated. They would not have as big a goalscoring record consistently in the premier league. And the less said about the french league the better.

Honestly, it's like comparing apples and pineapples. The 4 of them (and I agree, Suarez should be part of the conversation) are completely different players with different styles, and they do different things.
