Ronaldo will score more than Messi this season: Ancelotti
Reggiolo (Italy): Former Real Madrid head coach Carlo Ancelotti has backed the club’s star striker Cristiano Ronaldo to pip Barcelona forward Lionel Messi to be Spanish league’s top goal scorer in 2015-16 campaign.
The Portugal football team captain netted 48 times last term to scoop the Pichichi award (trophy awarded by Spanish sports newspaper Marca to the top goalscorer for each league season) ahead of Messi, and Ancelotti believes Ronaldo can repeat that feat this term, even though both men remain scoreless so far in the ongoing season.
“It is a bit strange that neither Ronaldo, nor Messi has scored yet this season in La Liga. But I do not have any doubts about Cristiano. I know him very well and I am willing to bet that he will win the top scorer trophy again this season,” Ancelotti was quoted as saying by goal.com on Monday.
“When I was in charge last season, he scored 61 goals in all competitions. He really was incredible. Messi’s drought so far is also quite unusual, but there is no reason to doubt him either. He is one of the greatest players the game has ever seen,” the Italian manager said.
Ronaldo, 30, has won the Pichichi trophy three times so far in his career, emerging top of the goal-scoring charts in 2010-11, 2013-14 and last season.

Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
