Fabio Capello Names Four Players Above Cristiano Ronaldo
Former England manager Fabio Capello has stirred the football world by naming four players he believes are on a level above Cristiano Ronaldo. In a recent interview, Capello lauded the skills of Lionel Messi, Diego Maradona, Pelé, and Johan Cruyff, placing them above the Portuguese superstar.
Capello's comments come as a surprise to many, given Ronaldo's stellar career, where he has amassed numerous accolades, including five Ballon d'Or awards. However, the Italian coach's admiration for the quartet is based on their unique contributions to the game. Messi, currently playing for Paris Saint-Germain, has been a long-time rival to Ronaldo, with his own impressive record of seven Ballon d'Or wins. Maradona and Pelé, legends of the past, are often cited in discussions about the greatest players of all time, while Cruyff revolutionized football with his 'Total Football' philosophy.
This bold statement from Capello adds fuel to the endless debate about football's greatest players. Fans and pundits alike will continue to discuss and dissect these opinions, reflecting the passion and diversity of views within the sport.
