He's definitely not a striker. He was a striker when he moved to Sporting Lisbon and hasn't been since.
1. Ribery had more league assists than Messi in five less games last season. Not sure where your numbers are coming from. 2. "playing a tiny fraction of the passes" - not really sure what you mean by this. I assume you mean "key passes" or something similar?
So he's a striker who has just happened to play his whole career post Sporting Lisbon on either wing? Riiiiight.
Yeah I think you're probably right. He doesn't do any defending at all. He's kind of like a left forward, not that different to where Henry played for Arsenal. But Messi definitely isn't a striker either. He's more like an extra midfielder.
Whoscored often has Ronaldo's average position further forward than the central striker. He plays as a winger, but it's definitely not the average winger type which someone like Ribery would play.
Stop talking shite because you want to suck off Barca Hes the most forward of a front 3 how is that not a striker
Ronaldo did play on the wing early on at Man U as an actual winger but for the past probably 5-6 years, he's been a striker. He just happens to hang on the left more because it's easier to receive the ball on that side and cut in and shoot. If you watch him, he pops up pretty much all over the field up front.
Yep. He cuts in most of times in recent years but he can also provide some quality crosses from left and right wing. Do you disagree with that?
Because he spends 90% of his time in midfield positions. Calm your flaps, eh? You talk shite professionally, I'm allowed to throw you a troll every now and again.
