Messi scored 91 goals in 69 games but scored 79 goals in 51 games as a false nine and Ronaldo scored 69 goals in 56 games as a left winger. If a false nine has a increased chance of scoring more goals than a winger. How many goals will Ronaldo have scored in the same amount of games as Messi as a false nine. Explain in detail along with simplified mathematical expressions.

Answer 1

To find the number of goals Ronaldo would have scored in the same amount of games as Messi as a false nine, we need to first determine the average number of goals Messi scored per game as a false nine.

Messi scored 79 goals in 51 games as a false nine.
Therefore, his average goals per game as a false nine = 79 goals / 51 games = 1.549 goals per game (rounded to three decimal places).

Since we are assuming that Ronaldo would have the same increased chance of scoring more goals as a false nine, we can calculate the number of goals he would have scored by multiplying his games played by the average goals per game of Messi as a false nine.

Ronaldo played 56 games as a left winger.
Therefore, to calculate the number of goals Ronaldo would have scored as a false nine, we use the following expression:

Number of goals Ronaldo would have scored = 1.549 goals per game * 56 games.

Calculating this expression:
Number of goals Ronaldo would have scored = 1.549 * 56 = 86.744 goals (rounded to three decimal places).

Therefore, Ronaldo would have scored approximately 87 goals in the same amount of games as Messi if he played as a false nine, assuming the same increased chance of scoring more goals.
