“I tried everything, as a child I saw that I was stronger than the others. The goals I scored beating 3 or 4 players? That is not something that can be trained. In the football of our generation we had very bad training, I remember that we had to do 6 or 7 kilometers of running that I didn’t need because I was a sprinter. I did 30-35 sprints per game, I thought I had to reach 40, but I couldn’t convince the coaches of it. With Cúper, because we have to talk From him, we did a 3 kilometer warm-up. Luckily things have improved over the years”
Mbappe
“He is very strong, he has that speed and coldness in front of goal that will lead him to be number one. And I have read the news that he will go to Real Madrid and earn 50 million a year…. We have made the wrong generation ( laughs). The football industry is growing so much that it’s only fair that the stars receive more and more money. If it’s like that today, it’s because there were players who inspired them, like we did.”
Messi
“He is extraordinary, he has strength, speed and physical strength. Messi is hungry for goals, then he is good off the pitch like all of this generation, unlike us. He thinks that if we had the head of Messi and Ronaldo, we could have doubled the goals.”
Neymar, beat him in Brazil
“I wish I could, I wish I could win the World Cup. In terms of numbers he has surpassed me, Zico, Romario, now he is five goals away from surpassing Pelé. I love him, he scores a lot, then maybe there will be those who criticize him because of his private life and because he has won few individual awards”.
The strongest striker right now
“Benzema in my opinion, but Lewandowski is very close. Haaland will become very strong, maybe even number one, but he doesn’t have the technique of the top two.”
Ronaldo of the future
“Yes, Endrick is a 15-year-old boy, he has incredible talent. Then we have to see how he develops in the professionals. Then there is another one, Caio de Sao Paulo”
The best Ronaldo, at Barça or Inter
“I’m not so sure that it was better in Barcelona because in Spain at that time it was easier to play. In Italy, I remember, I played against people like Vierchowod, who followed me even when I went to drink water (laughs). It’s been two years I hope people enjoyed them as much as I did. People still stop me on the street for the things I did.”
Superliga
“It will come sooner or later. Football is always evolving, it is always improving, we don’t know where it will end up. The top clubs want more and more money to pay the players who cost more and more, that’s why the Super League will not be like the presented, because it was a disaster but it will come. Now there is a lack of dialogue between football leaders to improve the football industry, I don’t understand why FIFA, UEFA and the different leagues don’t talk to each other”.
