“When someone claims that title, they mark it themselves, they’ve done their homework, they haven’t listened to others, I think they’ve exaggerated a bit. In short, they’ve played the student and the teacher, haven’t they?” Capello says.
“A great player, built with desire, with will. But when I talk about phenomena, I say Messi, I say Pele, I say Maradona and I put Ronaldo the ‘Gordo’, Ronaldo the ‘Phenomenon’, right next to them. He’s a hair below them.”
