The reason I say in regards to Messi and Ronaldo: the consistency above all else. Their equalization, their fabulousness on the ball, their fearlessness, they’re never at any point imprinted by a tackle – they get up, ‘give me the ball’. The goals they score, the level they’re playing at, the awards they’ve won, it just indicates one thing: those two players – and I think most players, likely everyone, would concur with me – these two fellows are above everybody, there’s no doubt about that.”
“Awesome to watch, and they never miss any game. They never appear to miss a match, they play constantly. They’ve offered quality to everybody on the planet, they’re playing constantly”
