“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.
Morocco coach Mohamed Ouahbi speaks on the Netherlands’ elimination from the World Cup.
The coach explained why the team was eliminated. “Morocco has gained everybody’s respect now,” Ouahbi said, adding: “It’s not because of what we’ve said. We’ve now shown it.
“We completely dominated a Netherlands team. We had 70% possession, more shots and more expected goals. We controlled the match. We wanted to stay calm, play our game and believe that if it went to penalties, we had an exceptional goalkeeper. We didn’t turn the match into a chaotic battle. We controlled it.”
Nigerian footballer and former captain William Troost-Ekong revealed the standout player for him in the South African team during this World Cup.
He shared that Mbekezile Mbokazi really stood out in the World Cup match against Canada.
Despite their loss, he praised the team’s performance. “It speaks volumes that Mbokazi [Mbekezile] was the best player on the South African team. I believe Okon also had considerable possession of the ball.”
