Deco feels former Brazilian star Ronaldinho was more talented than Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo


Former Barcelona midfielder Deco feels the current top two footballers in the world – Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo – are not as talented as former Brazil ace Ronaldinho.

Ronaldinho, who won two League titles and the 2006 Uefa Champions league with Barcelona, won the 2004 and 2005 Ballon d’Or – three less than current holder Messi, and one less than the Argentine’s perennial rival Ronaldo.

Yet Deco, who played alongside both Ronaldinho and Messi at Camp Nou, feels the former had more talent than both current stars.

"Ronaldinho was more talented than Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo," Deco told Sport. "When we didn't know what to do, he would create chances to score.

"[Ronaldo] was young, athletic and very competitive. Messi worked hard to do what he does now with the ball for Barca, but what Ronaldinho had was completely natural, he had a special ability. Every time we gave him the ball, he would score a different type of goal."

Ronaldinho, a who also starred in Europe for the likes of AC Milan and Paris Saint-Germain, is currently clubless, having terminated his contract with Brazilian club Fluminese in September last year.

Billy Bob Thornton Denies Sleeping With Amber Heard

The domestic violence case between Amber Heard and Johnny Depp is getting messier by the minute, and now they're dragging other people in the midst of their conflict. Depp apparently accused his wife of cheating on him with Billy Bob Thornton back in 2015, but the actor has completely denied all allegations. 'Our Brand Is Crisis' star Billy Bob Thornton has branded the suggestion that he slept with Amber Heard during the production of their latest movie 'London Fields' as 'completely false' according to reports from TMZ . The story is that he 'never socialized with Amber off set, other than a cast dinner', and adds that he had no on-set contact with her either, other than in a professional capacity.
