Endrick, a new football star recruited to Real Madrid, quoted Cristiano Ronaldo as his idol. This is also seen with Haaland, Mbappe, Saka, Vini Jr, Rodrygo, Kvara. So many young players today all state Ronaldo as an influence for them. Messi has more accolades than Ronaldo, but the only young players I can think that stated him as an influence is Julian Alvarez and Jude Bellingham. Why do you think most young players respect and admire Ronaldo more than Messi?

    Messi plays football, does the post-match interviews, the sponsors’ media stuff, and that’s it.

    Plays football, does an interview calling an opponent player “idiot”, choking a player from Uruguay, choking a player from Brazil. You know, the usual stuff, away from spotlight.
