“Pele Deserves to Be Called The Greatest” — Ancelotti Picks Him Over Messi & Ronaldo
Brazil’s head coach, Carlo Ancelotti, has declared football legend Pele as the greatest player of all time, putting him ahead of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo in the GOAT debate. Speaking in a chat with CONMEBOL, Ancelotti explained that while comparing players from different generations is tough, Pele’s achievements, especially his World Cup triumphs, set him apart.
“It’s hard to say for sure because Pele played in a different era,” the Italian coach said. “But what he accomplished in his career, especially winning multiple World Cups, was extraordinary.” Ancelotti acknowledged that players like Ronaldo, whom he coached, and Messi, whom he’s watched over the years, have been exceptional. However, in his view, Pele deserves the top spot based on his legendary career.
Nigerian player Frank Onyeka speaks on the recent match of the Super Eagles against Tunisia and shares what made the difference in our victory at AFCON 2025.
While interviewed, the player stated “I think our game plan worked really well. The way we pressed them high didn’t give them any chance to play, so that is what made the difference.”
Super Eagles defender Calvin Bassey has opened up about a difficult period in his career, revealing that he almost stepped away from football.
Speaking during a recent interview, Bassey shared that he once made a personal promise to himself to quit pursuing football professionally if he failed to secure a spot at a professional club.
“I remember being 15 and going into my final year, and I told myself that if I didn’t get into a professional club, I would quit football. It was that simple,” he said.
“I would just stop pursuing it seriously and only play for fun. Thank God I eventually got a club, because I honestly don’t know where I would be otherwise.”
It has been reported that the Confederation of African Football (CAF) fined Egypt $5,000 following their clash with Zimbabwe for failing to manage post-match media obligations.
It was noted that after the match, the Egyptian players ignored the media. This action was said to be a violation of CAF’s media regulations, which led to the fine being imposed.
