The best Ronaldo of all time, Messi is second

The best Ronaldo of all time, Messi is second

There is no end to this debate. There are so many names in the argument of the best footballer of all time that it is bound to cause trouble. Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, who has shown incredible consistency in this generation, want to keep their supporters ahead in this debate. Meanwhile, how to beat Pelকে to win three World Cups? How can anyone beat Diego Maradona, who brought Argentina to the World Cup with a single achievement, or France's dissatisfied Zinedine Zidane?

In these cases, it is never possible to get a neutral answer because emotion and choice play a role. So one mathematician from Oxford went the other way. Has chosen some of its own algorithms as a way to rise above emotions. Different criteria have been set in the algorithm. And from the numbers obtained from the criteria, he has shown that Ronaldo is ahead in the question of the best of all time.

All in all, Messi could not surpass Ronaldo. Ronaldo is the best with 536 points. Messi is in two with 503 points. There are three with 459 points. Then step by step Puskas (305), Ronaldo Nazario (261), Von Basten (236), The Stefano (201), Platini (16), Maradona (189) and Cruyff (183).

Dr. Crawford's explanation of his algorithm is, "As a fierce football fan, I have often argued with friends about who is the best of all time." In the last few years, I have been enjoying taking mathematics to everyone. So I had a lot of fun showing it to the football world. While Ronaldo tops my algorithm, I'm sure the numbers are incredible, and I'm sure the argument will continue! '

That has to continue. Because, as Dr. Crawford admits, goals are more important to him. That's why Maradona or Cruyff is far behind. As a result, midfielders, defenders, or goalkeepers have no chance in this case.

The latest criterion was the ‘Z factor’. A season where footballers have played so incredibly that the numbers seem incredible. Again, he has pulled the team alone in any season. Ronaldo, who led Real Madrid to the Champions League with 16 goals in the 2013–14 season, has amassed 2.4 Z factor points this season. Messi scored 91 goals in one year in 2012, including 63 goals in the 2011–12 season Messi got 3.1 Z factor points for that season. Cruyff earned 3.1 points for Ajax for the 198–6 season.

With these points, everyone got points depending on their contribution to the success of the team in the season. Messi, who has won 10 leagues and 4 Champions Leagues for Barcelona, ​​is ahead by a large margin. Ronaldo is far behind Messi (61 points). There are three Basten (56). Platini (10) got the least points.

Dr. Tom Crawford's algorithm had seven criteria. These are:

1. Winning titles at club level (domestic and European). According to the co-efficient index given by UEFA based on the quality of the leagues, the strength of the league has affected the points.

2. National team title. 150 points for winning the World Cup, 100 points for winning the Euro or Copa America. Points will decrease if the team is stronger. Again, if you contribute to the team's achievement, that is, if you win the Golden Ball or Boot, you will add some extra points.

3. Goals in club football.

4. Goals in international football.

5. Ballon d'Or votes. The winner of the Ballon d'Or is divided by the percentage of votes received by the top three nominees for the award in that particular year.

6. Personal record: Highest goal scorer for a club or national team or top scorer in a competition.

7. The ‘Z-Factor’ season is a season that is mathematically incredible, where a player's goal contributes to the team's success.

Ronaldo is one of the top 10 players in Crawford's algorithm. Real Madrid is ahead of Messi, having won seven leagues and five Champions Leagues with Manchester United and Juventus. In this case, Ronaldo is getting full 100 points. And Messi got 63 points. Maradona, who has won two leagues and a UEFA Cup with Napoli, has at least 10 points.

In the second category, Maradona's 'Phenomenon' has surpassed Ronaldo. The legendary Brazilian striker, who has won two World Cups and two Copa America, has received a full 100 points here. De Stefano, Puskas, and Cruyff got 0 here as there was no achievement for the national team. Among those who have won for the national team, Ronaldo has the lowest number of points (11), followed by Messi (26). Pele (6) and Maradona (54) are two and three.
