IBRA VS MESSI & CR7







According to classical mythology, you shouldn't have too much luck in life if not you could attract the envy of the gods, that eventually  punish you. In this case we are talking about a  football god’s envy . Or about the envy of someone who believes to be a god: Zlatan Ibrahimovic. A fantastic player not so lucky to play in the same era of Messi and Rronaldo. The competition between these two champions  has always obscured, as a long shadow, Ibra’s whole career  and his own reputation as a football player worldwide. Infact Ibra has never been a serious candidate to win the most important prize for a footballer: The Golden Ball Award. Winning  this has almost always been an exclusive duel between Messi and CR7 in the recent years. A disappointment too hard to digest for the hubris of Ibra, who would have thought then to take his revenge releasing two incredible statements according to the Portuguese website O ' Jogo. The first target was Cristiano: : "He has always witnessed the Golden Ball Award as a privileged spectator sitting  in  front row, there are at least 10 footballers better than him", was Zlatan's poisoned comment. Not exactly a cuddle for the Portuguese champion". The second target was Messi: "He continues to win Golden Balls, but he can’t  get a chocolate from a machine without climbing a ladder." A really childish joke. It's the same as if someone had asked Messi: “ What do you think about Ibra as a football player?”. And he had answered: "Ibra has a long nose.” Two children could easily have had a more clever discussion. But Messi probably is more mature than the Swedish player. He is not envious like Ibra seems to be. He has no reason to be. Lionel in fact is not a god from Greek mythology. Messi is a  modern god that, thanks to the 4 Golden Balls won, despite his hight, is taller than everybody. He is on the top of Olympus of the gods of football without  ever  having used any ladders climbing up.

  2. I know. And I m very happy that ibra denied those statements. These weren't suitable for a champion like Ibra. But at the same time, sometime it happens that journalists report statements released in a private context so too easy to be denied later. But this time I want to belive him. I'm an ibra supporter in particular for what he is able to do on the field :).
