Neymar Says Pelé Is the Only True King of Football and Not Ronaldo or Messi
Neymar Jr. has revealed who he believes is the true king of football, and it’s not Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi.
Days after Ronaldo declared himself the greatest footballer of all time, Neymar made it clear that, for him, there’s only one king—Brazilian legend “Pelé”.
Speaking with The Grefg, the 33-year-old said, “It’s not that I didn’t want to be a king, it’s that for me there is only one king, and that is Pelé.”
Reflecting on his own career, Neymar admitted that injuries have affected his journey, but he remains grateful. “Many things happened. I had many injuries that cost me a lot, but that’s how God wanted it. I have no reason to be sad. I am very happy with my story and my life.”
After years in Europe and a stint with Al Hilal in Saudi Arabia, Neymar recently returned to Santos, the club where his career began. Since rejoining, he has played six matches, scoring twice and providing three assists.
While Messi and Ronaldo are often regarded as the greatest players ever, Neymar stands firm in his belief that Pelé remains football’s true king.
Coventry City manager, Frank Lampard, speaks on team player and states how the player’s stance will help the team get into the Premier League.
The player is revealed to be Onyeka who he spoke about in the recent interview.
“He brings a different quality and probably a different profile to the midfield players we have.
“As I say, the profile is slightly different and I think that helps us in terms of the options and the competition in the middle of the park for us.”
Arsenal coach, Mikel Arteta, after their last match, shares an update on the injured team members after their last match.
He shared an update on Saka and stated that he is doing better after going through a hip injury. “His hip is improving a lot. Hopefully, he’ll be ready soon.”
He added about the other team members: “Martin is getting better and will be back in a few days, and Jurrien is fit for the weekend.”
Super Eagles footballer, Alex Iwobi, speaks on the World Cup and reveals their hope to play in the 2026 World Cup.
He shared that the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) is hopeful about hearing from them after they submitted a petition against the Democratic Republic of Congo.
“I mean we’re still waiting, well hopefully we can go to the World Cup, but I feel it’s a tough one.
“It’s a tough one because winning AFCON is like… It’s a great legacy, it’s a great thing to have in your career, a memorable moment. But then at the same time, because I’ve been to the World Cup already, a lot of the players haven’t been.”
