Edilson: Far from Neymar and other stars to me © JumpStory

Brazil's Edilson, who triumphed in the 2002 World Cup, made a bold statement. According to the former forward, at the peak of his career he was better than today's global stars. "When I reached my peak, I played better than Neymar. He needs to win the World Cup to surpass me," explained Edilson. The 49-year-old man was not planning to stop: "I stand out with my personality and Lionel Messi should also triumph in the world championships if he wants to overshadow me. Cristiano Ronaldo stands out only with physical strength - he strikes well with both feet, but I had more skills than him."
