Zlatan, 39 thinks Ronaldo Nazario, who inspired Brazil to World Cup glory in 2002, changed the game with his unique talents and still stands till this day.
Zlatan told Discovery Plus: “I don’t need to describe Ronaldo, ‘The Phenomenon’.
“I always say you have the players that play the game, and the players that are the game. For me, Ronaldo is the game. When you watch him play, everyone wanted to play like him and become like him.
“The way he was moving, the way he did his stepovers, the way he did ‘the snake’. The way he was moving, for me he’s the greatest player through history, no doubt.”
