Overall Ronaldo is a far better player, I just can't see where Ballack compares to Ronaldo except for leadership, shot power, and headers, everything else belongs to Ronaldo, even though Ballack has had a more complete career, but while Ballack has long reached his peak, and is starting his decline, Ronaldo is still on the up, while a guy here did say Ronaldo is in form and Ballack is class, since when did a player stay in form for 2 years with minimal injuries, and a consistent goalscorer, I agree when it comes to the technical side, Ronaldo is still lacking, but his skill has unlocked so many different abilities, like long range shots, free kicks, headers, crossing.
Ronaldo was born with skill, he wasn't born with natural passing ability like Scholes, he wasn't born with the Heading ability of Miroslav Klose, he wasn't born with the crossing ability of Beckham, and he certainly wasn't born with the fee kicking ability of Juninho, but a player with his amount of skill, makes it much easier for him to develop these techniques, Ballack has a good passing range and good in the air but that is about it, I can't stand up and say Ballack is a world class player.
And this talk about Ronaldo being a winger which is why he is not in the game as much that is sh*t, Ronaldo is better, but most of Ronaldo's goals have come in the middle of the park, not the wings, and a TRUE winger with his ability would have made more than 6 assists last Season. Ronaldo isn't a winger anymore, Sir Alex just puts him there to fill out a space on the formation sheet, Ronaldo plays in a more free role, not to the extent of Cruijff, but he plays in a way that defenders can't man mark, he isn't a TRUE winger. But he can play there
But I'd prefer if Ballack shines and takes Germany to the semi-finals. Everyone's been impressed by Portugal's OK performances as if they are really high tempo attack minded team. Against a decent team like Germany I'd like to see how Pepe and Carvalho handle the heat
im not really sure cause my tv dont cary the euros!
