The ‘Meho War’ between Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo is not over yet. Former Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) coach Christophe Galtier, who coached Messi directly until last season, named Ronaldo the best player in the world.
Spain’s AS said on the 27th (Korean time), “Coach Galtier, who coached Messi, evaluated Ronaldo as the best player in the world,” and added, “Even though he played with Messi at PSG, he was beaten by Ronaldo twice and lost to Al Nasr. “I was convinced that it was impossible to stop it,” he said.
Galtier took over as PSG coach in the 2022/23 season and coached superstars such as Messi, Kylian Mbappe, and Neymar. Galtier, who was recognized for his leadership at OGC Nice, was expected to lead PSG to victory in the UEFA Champions League, but suffered a lethargic loss to Bayern Munich in the round of 16.
In the end, PSG, who had to be satisfied with winning Ligue 1, fired Galtier, who failed to achieve much. Compared to former coach Mauricio Pochettino, he was evaluated as having managed to co-exist with Messi, Mbappe, and Neymar, but the failure in the Champions League was a huge blow.
In addition, Galtier went through a turbulent time, including being arrested by the police after it was revealed that he had made derogatory remarks about Muslims while he was coach of Nice, and he terminated his contract with PSG early by mutual agreement and left the team. On the surface, the contract was terminated by agreement, but in reality, it was a dismissal.
Galtier then headed to the Middle East. He took over as coach of Qatar Aldu Hail, Kim Moon-hwan’s team. And on the 25th, they met with Ronaldo’s team, Al Nassr, in the group stage of the 2023/24 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Champions League and faced Ronaldo directly.
In this game, Coach Galtier was completely defeated by Ronaldo. While Kim Moon-hwan played 85 minutes, Ronaldo started as the top striker in the 4-2-3-1 formation and scored multiple goals.
Ronaldo gave Al Nasr the lead by assisting Anderson Talisca’s first goal in the 25th minute of the first half when the score was 0-0. In the 15th minute of the second half, when Sadio Mane was ahead 2-0, he scored a goal himself. Ronaldo received a pass from rightback Sultan Alganam and hit Alduhail’s net with a left-footed mid-range shot.
Galtier’s Alduhail then went on to chase by scoring two goals, but ended up conceding another goal to Ronaldo. In the 35th minute of the second half, Ronaldo again received a pass from Alganam and scored a multiple goal with a left-footed volley. The score increased to 4-2, and Al Duhail scored the third goal, but the game ended with Al Nasr winning 4-3.
Galtier, who suffered defeat because he could not stop Ronaldo, who scored two goals, applauded Ronaldo and said that he was the best player in the world.
Galtier said: “There’s not much you can do against Ronaldo. Ronaldo scored two good goals. I don’t think there are words to describe it. It’s so incredible that you can’t believe it’s something a 38-year-old player has done. Ronaldo “He is still the best player in the world,” he said.
AS was also very surprised by Galtier’s remarks. This is because Ronaldo was eliminated as a finalist for the Ballon d’Or, which will be announced on the 30th, while Messi is on the verge of winning his eighth personal award based on winning the Qatar World Cup. Moreover, as mentioned earlier, since he was the coach who directly coached Messi, the response was that it was surprising that he supported Ronaldo.짱구카지노
AS said, “It was a remark that did not sit well with a coach who shared the locker room with Messi for a year,” and added, “The debate over who is the better player between Messi and Ronaldo will likely continue forever. However, it seems that the debate over who is the better player between Messi and Ronaldo will continue forever. However, it was a comment that did not sit well with a coach who shared the locker room with Messi for a year.” “It is very surprising that Galtier ranked Ronaldo as the best,” he emphasized.
