Italian football legend, Antonio Cassano has launched another scathing attack on Cristiano Ronaldo by claiming that the Portuguese star is not even in the top five greatest players of all-time
Ronaldo
was branded the greatest player ever by his agent Jorge Mendes, after the
36-year-old was included on the 30-man shortlist for the Ballon d'Or prize,
which the Portuguese icon has won five times before.
Retired Italy
star Cassano, who has been critical of Ronaldo in the past, believes Pele,
Diego Maradona, Lionel Messi, Johan Cruyff and former Brazil striker Ronaldo
Nazario are all above the Manchester
United star in the history of football's best.
'Enough theatre
(from Jorge Mendes),' Cassano told Christian Vieri's Twitch channel Bobo TV.
'Is Cristiano Ronaldo the best in the history of football? He is not even in
the top five.
'Messi,
Pele, Maradona, Cruyff and Ronaldo are on another level.'
Back in
March, blasted the Portuguese forward
while he was playing for Juventus for being too selfish and not caring about
his team-mates.
'Cristiano
only thinks about his goals and records,' Cassano said in March of this year.
'He's always been a bit selfish, he doesn't give a damn about others scoring
goals.
'He does
not live for the game - he lives for the goal and in this moment the situation
is getting worse. I think Cristiano has done terribly over the last three
years.'
