Who is the best player in history? Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Pelé, Diego Maradona? Each round of the round ball has its preference and its arguments. In all modesty, Cristiano Ronaldo self-proclaimed the best player in the history of football in an interview with the Spanish show El Chiringuito At the beginning of February: “I think I am the most complete player who existed. This is my opinion. It can be a matter of taste but I think it's me. I do everything in football. I play well from my head, I pull the kicks stopped, I shoot well with the left foot, I am fast, I am strong, I jump. Taste is one thing, say that, that or that, whether you prefer Messi, Pelé or Maradona, I hear it and I respect it but say that Cristiano is not complete, it is a lie. I am the most complete. »»
This statement had not failed to make football fans react but not only! Some actors in this sport have also given their opinion, like an Angel Di Maria who was categorical in his choice.
For Benzema, it's neither Messi nor Cristiano Ronaldo
The former French international Karim Benzema also spoke on this debate at the microphone of TNT Sports Brazil. The Ballon d'Or 2022 validates Ronaldo well but not the Portuguese, the Brazilian: ”
Everyone says what they want. If he thinks he is the best in history, this is his opinion. For me, the best is Ronaldo, the Brazilian ”
The current Al-Iihad player who has evolved alongside CR7 for nine seasons, then indicates that each player has his style and that the comparisons were not adequate: ” Cristiano is what he is. I don't like comparisons between players, everyone has their own story. He (Cristiano) has hers and she is very good. A reaction that should not appeal to his former Portuguese teammate and now rival in Saudi Pro League.
