Who is the greatest player of all time? Ronaldinho just answered the question in a recent interview with Brooklyn Nets.
Indeed, long a subject of debate, the identity of the « GOAT » in the world of football, varies from person to person.
And as for Ronaldinho, neither Lionel Messi nor even the all-time top scorer, Cristiano Ronaldo, are the best players of all time.
Thus, according to the former FC Barcelona executive, there is only one « GOAT »and it is the legend of Brazilian and world football, Pelé.
“Pelé is the best player of all time”he assured the Brooklyn Nets media during his interview.
Pelé, a remarkable and inspiring career
Before his death on December 29, 2022, the late king of football left his mark on the sport for a long time, both through his quality of play and his efficiency in front of goals.
According to his own revelations, he would have scored 1,283 goals during his career, even if official statistics give him a figure of 767 goals scored in 831 matches.
Pelé is, however, to date, the only player to have won three World Cups (1958, 1962 and 1970).
Statistics which earned him the title of « Roi » of football and which allowed him to mark the history of football forever.
