Upcoming Stars Should Not Worry About Ronaldo or Messi

Upcoming stars should not worry about becoming the next Cristiano Ronaldo or Leonel Messi.

Here is Why….?

There is no doubt that Ronaldo and Messi have set up the bar way too high for those footballers that seek to follow on their footsteps. However; those aspiring to carry the weigh of superstardom should only worry about their game first and not so much about breaking records and scoring so many goals.

The glory of a team is usually the effort of encouraging coaches and staff that are in charge of creating a competitive squad. But individual players have the responsibility to put that extra effort required to become the next sensation in the world of football.

Hi! Can you let me out so I can go home and watch some games?

The reason behind the success of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi is that not only have they played for the most successful clubs in recent history but also among great teammates. Collective effort is what has won championships for great teams but usually it is the goal scorers, the executioner that gets recognized among fans.

But the likes of Neymar, Isco, Eden Hazard and Mario Gotze who fans hope will carry the torch of the beautiful game to the next level should not obsess themselves. They are still in their early twenties and have plenty of time to get better and do amazing things on the pitch. But being worried about records and number of goals should not be their priority.

Fans will always compare stars from different generations with the upcoming ones as they have seen the legacy of those who have come and gone. The arguments of ‘who is or was the best player’ seem to be something that will not stop. It is all for the good of the game though and we enjoyed that way.

It seems unlikely to see a Ronaldo or a Messi anytime soon as they have shattered every record in the books. There is no doubt that upcoming stars will create mind-blowing moments such as great saves, acrobatic goals, magic dribbling among other things. But their main focus should be to connect with teammates so that they can reach their individual goals.
