Pele named which football player currently impresses him the most. It is no wonder that the 79-year-old Brazilian football legend chose from three stars - Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Neymar. When asked which player he would like to play with in the same team, Pele replied: "I think about Messi." "He is a very technical player, makes productive passes, scores goals, and dribbles excellently. If we had to play in the same team, I have no doubt that opponents would have to worry about both of us. In my opinion, to this day Lionel is the most complete football player," Pele continued. In a later part of the interview, the football legend said that there were more stars of a similar level in his era than now. "Once you could find two or three players from each country. Back then, there were Eusebio, Simoes, Cruyff, Beckenbauer, Maradona, Garrincha, Didi. There were so many amazing players. At that time, today we have two or three such players - Messi and Ronaldo. I would also name Neymar, but he has not yet become as significant a figure as the latter," Pele added.
