O Fenomeno, man. Fucking hell. Truly deserving of that nickname. Sorta like Alexander deserving his epithet "the Great."

Edit: A question to people who watched Ronaldo's come up : does it even compare to Mbappe's ?

One of the biggest 'what if's' in football, different class

Ronaldo was so fucking good. Even with no knees left after turning 23 he is in my top 10 greatest players of all time.

Fenomeno was on another lvl

Man R9 was on a league of his own,

GOAT's gonna GOAT i guess.

I know it's inevitable but comparisons like this are the devil, just let the kid develop without the burden of having to be compared to two of the greatest Brazilian players of all time

Why does Neymar look so weird in this

[–] TimTkt@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah it’s stupid comparaison, I’m pretty sure Messi and CR7 didn’t had such statistics on their first pro games but surpassed R9 on trophies and stats at the end of their career

[–] DorkHarshly@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

The real question is what changes when we take the first 57 games

[–] JealousMeringue6674@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Comparisons like this are kinda pointless, entirely different league when Ronaldo was playing there and Neymar was on a team that on their day could’ve beaten some of the European mid-table teams.

That being said, it’s unfair to expect Endrick to reach the heights two of the all-time best Brazilians.

IMO R9 had the highest ceiling ever for a football player

[–] fedupofbrick@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Ronaldo is he greatest goalscorer i've seen. Had he had working knees fuck knows how good he would have been. He was even unreal with glass knees. A freak.

[–] surgereaper@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

He would have been easily top 3 career wise if he fulfilled his potential
