In a surprising turn of events, Brazilian football legend Pelé has stirred controversy by declaring that neither Cristiano Ronaldo nor Lionel Messi deserves the title of the best player of the last decade. Instead, Pelé believes that the most complete player in recent years is none other than Zinedine Zidane.
Speaking at a sports forum in Rio, Pelé emphasized Zidane’s all-around abilities, asserting that he surpasses the likes of Messi and Ronaldo in terms of completeness. Pelé mentioned other football greats such as Johan Cruyff and Zico, but highlighted Zidane’s prowess on the field.
This statement is sure to ruffle feathers among fans of Messi and Ronaldo, who have dominated the footballing landscape over the past decade. However, Pelé’s perspective sheds light on the impact and legacy of Zidane, despite the Frenchman having retired from playing several years ago to pursue a coaching career.
