Nicolas Anelka recognized the mistakes that Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi have made in recent times. For the former French player, both stars have made the wrong decision. “This is what happens to players who want to play longer…”
“Their careers are over and I think they both have to be very happy with what they have achieved in the last 15 years. They were above the others and now it is normal for them to slow down. MMessi was more surprised than Ronaldo, I thought that Messi would take a walk in France and Ronaldo would have more difficulties in England because, for me, the Premier League is the most demanding championship in the world.”said the French in RMC Sports.
“They both should have been smarter. This is what happens to players who want to play longer. They haven’t been smart. They should have thought of taking on a less complicated challenge because you have to make the right decisions to finish on top. There are players who don’t hesitate to finish at 32, 33, 34 years old so as not to be criticized. I stopped at 36 but at 32 I went to China,” he said.
“Both of them should have been smarter and this is what happens to players who want to play longer.”
Anelka
Anelka does not understand how Messi signed for PSG at that age and neither does Cristiano return to United when they had already touched glory in the past. We will see what happens with both players, already in the final phase of their professional career and if both allow themselves to be advised by the former Real Madrid player.
