Just by your first sentence alone, I could tell you were dismissive before you even read 1 word on that article. "Holy publication"? I didn't know "widely-read" translated to that.
And comparing Ronaldo with Maradona and Pelé? My God.
Wow. Let me explain this again to to understand what I said.
We all know what Marca is, and it's not that much of a reliable source for news. Anyway, since it is a statistical argument, I don't want to dwell much deeper into this. Anyway, "most read football publication" doesn't make a news source highly credible. For eg:
The Sun is the most read newspaper in England. Does it make it a highly recommended source?
And secondly, I wasn't trying to even remotely get into the Suarez vs. Ronaldo argument in the first place. I was just highlighting the major flaws in your argument.
I was highlighting your claim that Suarez has had a better GPG ratio THIS YEAR "However, it clarifies that,
this year, Suarez is actually surpassing Ronaldo's (incredible) 0.95 goal to game average; Suarez is at 0.98", as a bad argument. When you say this year, you mean 2016. Unless you're from the future, Only one month of 2016 has passed. How on earth can you say that a player is playing at X's level because of one month's performances. If you're taking a month's performances and saying it that way, Vardy was playing better than Ronaldo from October-November 2015. I find it funny how you ignore the crux of the point and decide to focus on who I compared Ronaldo to.
If you say Suarez this SEASON has been playing at Ronaldo's level (when he was at Barcelona), then I understand the argument. However, we must keep in mind the season is nowhere near over.
And ofc, players who play in a better team get more assists. Eg: Oezil al Madrid avg. 0.51 assists per game while at Arsenal he's averaged 0.31 assists a game, is what I said.
If you think I'm a Suarez hater, you're greatly mistaken. There's no other No. 9 I'd like on this team right now.
