Ronaldo Would Have Bigger Impact In MLS Than Messi – Brek Shea

Cristiano Ronaldo would have made an even greater MLS impact than Lionel Messi, former USMNT star Brek Shea has said. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, because Messi is obviously a reserved footballer who prefers to stay at home, a more outgoing Ronaldo would have been the preferred ambassador for American football.

Brek added that means no disrespect to the World Cup winner, but he just comes across as a homebody.

His words, “I think Cristiano Ronaldo would have had a bigger impact in MLS than Lionel Messi.

No disrespect to Messi, but Messi seems like a homebody. He’s very quiet. He doesn’t speak the language quite well yet. So I just think Ronaldo seems more outgoing, does more things in the public eye.

So I think just on that, speaking the language, doing interviews, I think would have just automatically had a bigger impact. I’m strictly speaking off field stuff. I don’t know if he would have put up the same numbers, but a bigger impact? Yes, he would have.”

WOW.

Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro GOIH ComM is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays as a forward for and captains both Saudi Pro League club, Al Nassr and the Portugal national team.

Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro was born on 5 February 1985 in the São Pedro parish of Funchal, the capital of the Portuguese island of Madeira, and grew up in the nearby parish of Santo António. He is the fourth and youngest child of Maria Dolores dos Santos Viveiros da Aveiro, who worked as a cook in the hospitality industry and a cleaning woman, and José Dinis Aveiro, a municipal gardener at the Junta de Freguesia of Santo António and part-time kit man for football club Andorinha.

Ronaldo’s move to Manchester United was completed on 12 August 2003, too late for the 2003 FA Community Shield but in time for their game against Bolton Wanderers on the opening day of the 2003–04 season, and made him the first Portuguese player to sign for the club.

Ahead of the 2009–10 season, Ronaldo joined Real Madrid for a world record transfer fee at the time of £80 million (€94 million). His contract, which ran until 2015, was worth €11 million per year and contained a €1 billion buy-out clause.
