We can say whatever we want about Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo's amazing feats throughout their career. But if you want to get real, most people would agree that the most impressive player they have laid their eyes on is Brazilian Ronaldinho, some of the old school football historians, even dare to say that it's Ronaldinho the player who they believe has been the most talented in football history. Yes, Ronaldinho.
That same man who decided to call it quits on his way to becoming the best in history, because all he needed was to prove himself he could be the best. As soon as he won the Ballon d'Or, there was nothing left to prove and thus he started enjoying life instead of working hard to remain the best. But that doesn't matter to a lot of people, they are in love with this man's talent and deem him the best regardless of how little we enjoyed his talent at its best.
Kevin-Prince Boateng is one of those people, he told Fox Sports that: "Who's the best player I've ever played with? Ronaldinho no doubt. When he arrived at Milan he had no great desire or was tired and was no longer the Dinho of before. But what he wanted was for people to see that he was the best player in the world. More than Zidane, Pele and Maradona. He wanted to hit the crossbar three times and did it. We wondered how it was possible there was so much talent in one body. It was unbelievable."
He added: "The most beautiful moments I spent at AC Milan have been three: when we won the league title, the goal against Barcelona and when I did Michael Jackson dance at San Siro. I thought a lot before leaving Milan, they are a team of my heart, but for me at that time was the right thing to do."
