He told reporters, “He is the best player in the
world – with Messi. Messi has a little advantage on assists. But I would go for
nobody because it is not my problem at the moment. I’ve seen careers being
destroyed because players are too obsessed with individual rewards. I can tell
you that maybe another day but it encourages selfishness. And it encourages
people inside the game to go more for their own gain when others are in a
better position. You can be No.1 in the world in March and no.250 in May. Sport
is always moving.”
