There are good players, there are great players, and there are those few at the pinnacle - the Peles, Cruyffs and Maradonas.
Dave Mackay was one of the best I've ever seen. Jimmy Greaves was the greatest goal scorer, and George Best was just the best. The greatest.
Maradona and Messi played in different times and in different positions. Messi is much more a striker, Diego was all over the entire pitch. They are two extraordinary players.
Cristiano Ronaldo, Messi and Neymar are phenomenal.
Ronaldo and Messi, in particular, are above everybody else.
For many years, Messi and Ronaldo will be the two best. After them, there is Xavi, Andres Iniesta, and others. I hope to be in the top ten.
I've never had an idol, but I watched Ronaldinho and then players like Xavi, Andres Iniesta, Lionel Messi. They are so good, it's impossible not to notice them.
Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, they play on a different galaxy.
