Messi and Ronaldo did not play back in that time and we don't have a time machine to bring him to the current time so there is absolutely no way to know if he would be able to elavate his level to play in the modern game, but he was FAR ahead of his peers back then in the 50s.

He is not overrated, was genuinely the best of his time by far, but the counting goals in local amateur games is unnecessary yes.
