Why Son Heung-Min is better than Cristiano Ronaldo. A Thread
1. Son has scored 42 goals in the Bundesliga. Ronaldo has not scored a single goal in the Bundesliga despite being known as a potent goalscorer
2. Son has had 87 caps for the South Korean NT, while Ronaldo has a pathetic 0 caps for the South Korean NT
3. Son has won Korean Footballer of the Year and awarded the Best Footballer in Asia a record 4 times and 5 times respective. Ronaldo pales in comparison with his 0 Best Footballer in Asia awards and his 0 Korean Footballer of the Year awards
4. For someone known for his Champions League performances. Cristiano has never won a UCL Set-piece Goal of the Season. Son on the other hand has
5. Son has won the Tottenham Hotspur Player of the Season award twice in a row. Ronaldo would rather statpad in one of the best sides in history.
6. Son has won the gold medal at the Asian Games 2018. I wonder how many Asian Games gold medals Ronaldo has won
7. Son has won the Pilseung award ranking first among 157 trainees. Ronaldo (like in the Ballon D'or ceremony) didn't show up
8. Son started his youth career in FC Seoul. Ronaldo was not part of FC Seoul because they didn't want him
9. Son Heung-Min earns a measly ÂŁ140,000 a week while Ronaldo earns ÂŁ26,000,000 a year, This means that Son is more humble than Ronaldo
10. Ronaldo is known for being a big game player but he scored 0 goals in international finals. When Korea needed him the most, Son stepped up and scored in the Asian Cup final
11. When the pressures on. I'll rather trust Son. Ronaldo famously missed a penalty against Chelsea in the CL Final. Whereas Son in the prestigious Audi Cup final dispatched his penalty with ease.
12. Son's teams won the past 2 h2h matches. Tottenham beat Juve 3-2, and beat Real 3-1. Not to mention, drawing 1-1 away
Son Heung-Min has 3 syllables. Cristiano Ronaldo has 7 syllables making it really hard to say in one breath. Son therefore is more considerate to the football commentators by making his name less tedious to say
13. Son has scored a whopping 9 goals against European giants Borussia Dortmund. Ronaldo can only manage a pathetic 7. Maybe Ronaldo is scared of the yellow wall, Son however remains unfazed
14. When Son came to Germany, he was so determined to learn German that he watched episodes of Spongebob. Ronaldo is known for his hard work but he never watched episodes of Spongebob to improve his English.
15. Son has gotten 2 red cards this season. This shows that he cares, has passion and will fight for the team. Unlike Ronaldo who only has 0 red cards
16. Ronaldo is known as a penalty merchant. Son on the other hand intentionally missed his penalty against Villa so he will end up with 0 penalty goals
17. Son is better defensively than Ronaldo has he has 45 defending on FIFA compared to Ronaldo's 35
