Ex-Manchester United midfielder, Ander Herrera has come out to say that there is no room for criticism of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi in football. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, he has seen both players coming under scrutiny for their performances this season, but he doesn’t agree with that because both legends have done enough to be above criticism.
Herrera, however, added that he expects the world to keep talking about them because they’re probably the two best players in the history of football.
His words, “When you have a player who scores 24/25 goals last season, how can you say this player is not for the team?”
“Top scorer of the team, one of the top scorers in Europe. Probably not going to score 50 goals every season, of course, but he’s still fighting, scoring, taking care of himself every day, every single training [session], so respect.”
“Now, probably, you have to control the charge of him in terms of training and games, you can’t make him play every single game of the season, in the big moments he will be there.”
“There is one thing you cannot lie [about], the stats. And Ronaldo … always putting the face to fight, to score, to run, to take the responsibility of the team — for me there is no space for criticism with Cristiano or with Leo.”
“Of course everyone’s going to talk about them because they’re probably the two best players in the history of football.”
