The Brazilian icon Ronaldo Nazario unveiled its list of all football greats of all time and ranged Lionel Messi over Cristiano Ronaldo, but none of them took number one.
Ronaldo himself could have evaluated very well in view of his glittering career for the Europe’s elite and world championship pedigree, but the formerly productive striker has released from the debate. Something that went beyond his namesake.
Cristiano Ronaldo recently described himself as the “most complete player”. Ronaldo Nazario did not agree.
“Cristiano Ronaldo has a fantastic story, he won everything and scored goals in every possible way” ESPN. “He is definitely one of the best in history. Now I don’t agree with the fact that he is the best. But I respect his opinion … I would say it is easy in the top ten.”
When Ronaldo urged who he had to do as the greatest ever for one of his legendary compatriots. “Pele is undoubtedly number one,” he said. “Then come Messi and [Diego] Maradona, tied together. “
To complete his top ten (and go beyond this arbitrary number), added Ronaldo: “[Next] Zico, Romario, Cristiano Ronaldo, [Marco] Van basten, [Zinedine] Zidane, [Luis] Figo, Rivaldo, Ronaldinho Gaucho … a number of players. There are many great players on this list, and I’m sure I forget some. Every time someone asks me about this ranking, I make another list. Only these first three are final. “
Ronaldo was specifically asked for Neymar and insisted that he would be “ninth or tenth” on a constantly growing list. “Neymar is a great player. Maybe the World Cup missed him, but he won the Olympic Games, almost everything.”
Although Ronaldo is doing a debate on this topic, he claimed that he was not too disturbing from these subjective lists – in contrast to many other former experts. “It’s my opinion, bar talk, but [it’s a topic] That has become a lot viral, “the 48-year-old shrugged.
“There are several former players who want to sit on this list. I don’t feel comfortable when I like this list or is on this list, but my admiration for everyone is huge, as is their contribution to world football.”
