Ex-Real Madrid Boss Capello: Ronaldo Not as Talented as Messi, Maradona, Ronaldo Nazario
Fabio Capello, the former Real Madrid manager, expressed his opinion that Cristiano Ronaldo does not possess the innate brilliance of football legends like Lionel Messi, Diego Maradona, and Ronaldo Nazario. Capello made these remarks during an interview on an Egyptian sports channel.
Despite Ronaldo's phenomenal goal-scoring abilities, Capello believes he falls short in terms of natural talent compared to Messi, Maradona, and Ronaldo Nazario. Capello, who retired from coaching in 2018, had attempted to sign a young Messi during his time at Real Madrid.
The debate over football's greatest player often revolves around Ronaldo and Messi, with Ronaldo continuing to chase records and aiming to become the first player to score 1,000 career goals.
