If you believe that you didn't understand my point. What I was referring to was that you can't say "CR7 scored 48 goals in 14/15, R9 was never as good" because CR7 profited massively from a cohesive team that had optimized how to get the most out of him over years of playing together so it is not a fair comparison. An example of his effect is that he got into less scoring positions when he moved from Madrid to Juve while Madrid also created less chances because a centerpiece of their system went missing. If you don't like Juventus, you could also take Cristiano's first season for Madrid that was less prolific scoring wise because the system wasn't as mature. And R9 didn't only play in a less systemized (at least in an attacking sense) era but also never was at club for more than two seasons in his prime.
Of course I do understand your point, but its still heavily based on 2 transitional periods:
1. His 14-15 seasons where he starts changing his game into more of a poacher and start to rely more on the service on his teammates, he was still a performance freak at that point though, but it was his last great performance season
2. His 18-19 seasons where he is already at 33-34 years of age, and start to heading towards downhills at different club with different structure. I get your point here on super team Real building around Cristiano, he has already well past his peak at that point so its harder to prove your point being correct or wrong here. I have also given you counter argument on Cristiano vs R9 impact on their teams before/after, which looks similar.
But the focus of our arguments should comparing their respective "performance peak" instead.
Performance peak of Cristiano: 10-14
style of play: all action attacker/wing forward
strength: pace, tricks, finishing, long shots, heading, freekicks, dribbling, counter attack play, movements, athleticism, creativity, crossing, scoring with either foot at different angles
goals: avg 50-60 goals + 12-15 assists per season
avg rating: ~8.40 (based on whoscored rating, you may disagree but that aligns with my impression of him during those period)
Performance peak of R9: 96-98
style of play: solo/explosive attacker/centre forward
strength: pace/acceleration, explosiveness, dribbling, finishing, ball control at tight space, one on one situation, scoring solo goals
goals: avg 34-47 goals + 4~9 assists per season (lets just say 47 goals + 9 assists, given its probably harder to score in Serie A back in his time)
avg rating: ~ 8.xx in middle range??? assumingly around the same as Cristiano as its already near to the highest end. (For better perspective, the current best performer in the world, Mbappe, is on avg 7.9 per season, based on his recent 2 seasons performances). But we can skip that one, its all opinions.
That's only my take. But I think those are fair description on both players during their peak, if we just move forward from their numbers difference, disregarding our bias. (but of course we are all arguing from our bias perspective here)
In his 4.5 peak seasons, R9 was involved in 38%, 42% and 45% of his team's league goals. Cristiano for the most part is in this regions as well but also has a few freak seasons in which he is above 50%, the most outstanding in this context being 14/15.
I mean, look at thescene at 7:00 and 7:10 alone, that's almost ridiculous
