Although it was thought that he was going to mention Lionel Messi, who was chosen by the magazine 'Four Four Two' as the most outstanding in history, the Brazilian decided to give a broader answer.

The current owner of Real Valladolid, who was world champion in 1994 and 1998, indicated that he cannot choose a single player and named Lionel Messi, Diego Armando Maradona, Johan Cruyff, Pelé, Ronaldinho and himself. In his list, he did not include Cristiano Ronaldo, who fought hand-to-hand with Leo for individual awards for more than a decade. 'Each one marked an era,' said Ronaldo.
