Messi is less envious and less easy to goad than his Real Madrid rival
Lionel
Messi has perfected giving off an impression that he is far less
consumed with winning the Ballon d’Or than his customary rival for the
prize. That is the holder’s privilege, but there is also a skill in
delivering successive acceptance speeches just softly enough so the
runner-up might be overheard gnashing his teeth in the background.
Cristiano
Ronaldo's frustrations at finishing second-best footballer in the
world three times in four years to the younger Argentine have become plain
enough. Fans see it, and believe a taunt of “Messi, Messi” in stadiums where
Real Madrid or Portugal play, in fixtures which have nothing to do with
Barcelona, will be a reliable way of goading CR7.
