Messi scored 91 goals in 69 games in the 2012 calendar year in a false nine position and Ronaldo scored 69 goals in 56 games as left winger. How many goals will Ronaldo have scored in a false nine position in the same amount of games as Messi. Explain in detail along with mathematical expressions.

Answer 1

To find the number of goals Ronaldo will have scored in a false nine position in the same amount of games as Messi, we can start by calculating their goals per game average in their respective positions.

Messi: goals per game average = total goals / total games = 91 / 69 ≈ 1.32 goals/game
Ronaldo: goals per game average = total goals / total games = 69 / 56 ≈ 1.23 goals/game

Now, we need to find out how many games Ronaldo will play in the false nine position. Since Messi played 69 games in the 2012 calendar year, Ronaldo will also play 69 games.

Number of goals Ronaldo will score in a false nine position = goals per game average * total games
= 1.23 goals/game * 69 games
≈ 84.87 goals

However, since we cannot have a fraction of a goal, we round the result to the nearest whole number. Therefore, Ronaldo will have scored approximately 85 goals in a false nine position in the same amount of games as Messi.
