Serie A is pretty poor though as a league. Martial would defo score more than the Prem. We have hardly been a brilliant attacking force up until recently and he has missed a few months of the season I believe.
Martial can do things on his own that Ronaldo stopped doing 2 years ago if not longer. Dribbling, power, pace, acceleration even quick feet all goes to martial these days.
You can just do more with him in the team and some of Martials performances recently Ronnie wouldn’t be able to replicate anymore sadly.
Goals are one thing but all round play it’s surely peak players now who are ahead. Lewandoski is just a better footballer too these days & has been for two years but never gets a look in for the big prize.
Not necessary true though. Martial average 1.6 dribble per game this season, Ronaldo average 1.8 dribble per game.
Martial scored 22 goals in 42 games for Man Utd this season. Ronaldo scored 34 in 42 games for Juventus.
So in terms of goals and dribbling, Ronaldo is still better.
You may argue its easier to score and perform in Italy, but we are also talking same league where our Bruno fail to shine not long ago.
So the question is, has he loss his pace, skill, power, dribble this season? Let's take a look at this:
He is still has bags of tricks in his pocket, his shots are still powerful, he still jumps higher than anyone else, he still has good burst of pace in his runs, and he still scores alot of goals. I'd say he is still by far the fittest 30+ years old players in the world. Sure his pace, strength, stamina and athleticism may not be up to his physical peak level back when he was at 25, but he is still easily good enough and better than most others, even at age 35. Yes he wasn't the same player as he was in 25, but he isn't anything less other top 25 years old player today, even in terms of physical/strength/pace/skill.
