To be a footballer means being a privileged interpreter of the feelings and dreams of thousands of people.

What Messi does is terrifying. It's indescribable magic. You can't analyze it.

It's ugly to compare but the greatest was Pele. If we believe that God made man, the black Pelé he made him perfect. He gave him everything. He lacked nothing, header, physical power, dribbling, finishing, inspiration, genius, temper, vision, goal. Everything.

Messi and Neymar will create beauty - just like Picasso's paint brush. I still believe Messi is the best in the world. He has a special magic and is more of a team player than Cristiano. Never before has there been such a difference between the King and the next.

Letting go of its good players, like Özil, the ones who know how to play football – that did surprise me.
