“I admire him, if I had to set up a national team he would be my first pick.

“But in the mean time I feel sorry because today and the last five years, you just mention two big stars. Some years ago, you had a lot of players.

You have Bale and Neymar, but they are not enough. You used to have two or three players in one team who were stars. Now there are that many in the world. It’s a shame. The game deserves more great players.”

The three times World Cup winner appeared in a friendly match alongside Maradona organized by Swiss watchmaker before the start of Euro 2016.

Pele believe he, Maradona, Lionel Messi and Ronaldo can not be compared, because each of them have different style of play.

Maradona, myself, it’s a little bit different than him,” he said. “Cristiano is higher up the pitch, more central, more direct, more for scoring. But what is important is he is a player who decides the game. He is a player who scores goals. That’s the same.

“But we cannot compare Pele and Maradona with Cristiano because we were players who came from behind. We played deeper. He plays in front. He’s more like [the Brazilian] Ronaldo. This you can compare.

“It’s the same with Messi. They are two players with completely different styles. Messi is playing more from midfield, he is an excellent player and passer. But Ronaldo is more forward, the No 9, the striker. He has a different style to Messi.”
