The legendary Brazilian did not miss the chance to praise the "Barcelona" star Lionel Messi once again. Pele insists that Zinedine Zidane was better than the Argentine is now.
Brazilian football experts often engage in discussions about L. Messi and Neymar, while their fellow countryman Diego Maradona defends Messi. However, Pele admitted that he would vote for the Catalan leader in this year's Ballon d'Or awards.
"Personally, I think Zidane was better than Lionel. He was amazing, creating perfect opportunities for his teammates, while Messi especially helps the two midfielders - Andres Iniesta and Xavi," Pele said.
Recently, there have been talks about the Ballon d'Or award, with Cristiano Ronaldo, Franck Ribery, and the aforementioned L. Messi being the favorites.
"If I had the opportunity to vote, then my vote would go to Lionel, whose technique is exceptional," added the Brazilian legend.
