Edric on the Messi-Ronaldo dilemma: “I’m more of a Cristiano fan”
Edric, the Brazilian prodigy who will play for Real from 2024, spoke about the eternal dilemma between Messi and Ronaldo before the game against Argentina (November 22nd).
Edric is in Brazil’s squad for the game against world champions Argentina (November 22nd) in the World Cup qualifiers in the South American zone.
The 17-year-old prodigy from Palmeira, who will play in the Real jersey from 2024 and was called up to the national team for the first time after excellent performances under the leadership of Abel Ferreira, reacted to the Lionel Messi – Cristiano Ronaldo duo.
“It’s amazing that Messi has eight Ballon d’Or. I just want to enjoy the moment, playing against him, being on the same court with him, watching him up close, I’ve only seen him in video games.”
Messi is a great player, but I’m more of a Cristiano Ronaldo fan. But now, when I see Messi up close, it will be great. he said and added:
“Pelé is the king. There is no one who comes close to him. There is no one comparable to him. I thank God he existed, technology allows me to see him today.”
