A study by the Faculty of Sports Science, University of A Coruña says Messi involved in eighty percent of the snaps from Barcelona and Cristiano by 66 percent.
A study by the Faculty of Sports Science, University of A Coruña shows that in the thirty days have elapsed this season, Lionel Messi has more participation in the Barcelona game that Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo Barcelona and Real Madrid are two teams playing attacking and Messi and Ronaldo are attackers, "he told Efe the dean of the Faculty of Sports Science of A Coruña, Rafael Martín Steel, who led the study.
According to these data, it is shown that "Ronaldo's game is more individualistic than Messi, which is more collective," but "the participation of the two is very high," says Steel.
Is justified, said the author of the study, that of Real Madrid.
The study explains that Ronaldo part with comparative disadvantage in being more individualistic.
More than eighty percent of pass plays Barcelona Messi, who was fourteen at the time a participation rate even higher (ninety percent), while Cristiano Ronaldo has evolved since then and has grown from 55 to 66 percent of intervention in the game of Real Madrid.
"It makes sense because the Ronaldo statistic that is less, because while Messi has for several years in Barcelona and play on your computer is established, the Portuguese had come "to a new league and a new computer, which is also in training."
The two teams have a high dependence of the two players, two stars, to astound the world for its speed, driving the ball, their firepower and their placement.
"The two are the pinnacle. Very good: technical, fast, intelligent, "said Steel, who noted that in the conduct of the ball are the two fastest players in the history and the chance is that coincide in the same time."
Clarifies that maybe the fastest players in the race, but not when have the ball in his possession: "Messi has an average speed of 20 mph on a tour of five meters and has been able to move three opponents that follow, free to leave right partner who can not see, stop in two supports, in less than a tenth, to change the direction of movement and give the pass. "
"That's brutal, it's as if Fernando Alonso is capable in a straight line, at 340 kilometers per hour, to stop at five meters and do a wheelie with the car," Steel compared.
Cristiano also has similar speeds, even higher in larger distances: 18 kilometers per hour on average five meters, 20 in a distance 8 or 9 meters by 18 of the Argentine, and 30 in a tour of 12 to 16 meters by 28 of the Barça.
That is, they move with speeds of 5.07 meters per second and 8.2 on average, and with the ball in his control, but with one difference: Messi leads attached to the foot and gives him more touches, while Ronaldo has a lower frequency of contact with the ball.
Another virtue of both players, highlighting the study is its ability to hit in motion ball, which can reach 90 kilometers per hour in both cases.
A dead ball, however, is more than Ronaldo, who heads the leather to 119 kilometers per hour for the 95 that reaches Messi, data management complemented by getting the ball to impart, as he recalls Steel, "other players are able to break the post with the shot, but do not know where the ball will go. "
As if this were not enough, have a percentage of success in passing the 54 per cent in the case of Barcelona and 48 percent in that of Madrid, Messi will go wrong 72 percent of Ronaldo dribbling and trying to 59, thus, to stop them should be made, says the head the study, the "illegality."
"The only way is to make them necessary. In fact, occurs in 12 percent of Messi's dribbling skills and 13 percent of those who try to Cristiano," explains the head of the study.
Do Messi and defects Ronaldo? "We have not sought, but it is very difficult to find. Sure they do, will know better than anyone and therefore avoid them," says Steel, who concludes that "both are equally good."
The study, which was conducted with data provided by an enterprise of applied statistics and soccer image capture, "has high ecological validity in exchange for sacrificing experimental validity," according to its head. And it was measured on both players in the field, not in the laboratory, where the error would be controlled method, but the study would not be so interesting.
