In such a situation, the question of who is the best footballer of all time between Messi and Ronaldo often gives rise to discussion and criticism. US President Donald Trump also faced such a question halfway through the World Cup.
Lionel Messi is writing his name on the page of new records as soon as he steps onto the field. He scored a wonderful free kick in the second half against Jordan. Lionel Messi has become the first footballer to score in 7 consecutive matches in the World Cup. He is playing his best to win the World Cup for his country again.
On the other hand, Portugal's star footballer Cristiano Ronaldo is trying to give his best for his country. After facing severe criticism in their first match in the group stage, this footballer has turned around against Uzbekistan.
In such a situation, the question of who is the best footballer of all time between Messi and Ronaldo often gives rise to discussion and criticism. Halfway through the World Cup, US President Donald Trump also faced such a question.
In his eyes, it is not Messi or Ronaldo, but the Brazilian legend Pele, who is in the Hall of Fame of the Best Footballers of All Time.
Trump is scheduled to be present at the FIFA World Cup final. The matter of him presenting the trophy to the winning team has also been finalized.
In the debate about the best footballer of all time, the names of Messi and Ronaldo usually come up, but Trump's answer was different.
The US President said that after watching Pele play live, he was convinced that Pele was the greatest footballer of all time.
Speaking to the world's largest and most popular live sports streaming platform (DAZN), Trump said, "Many years ago, when I was young, a footballer named Pele was brought in to play. He played for the 'Cosmos' team. My friend Steve Ross, who was the former CEO of Warner Communications, was the main player behind it."
Trump also said that this place (MetLife Stadium) was packed to the brim. It was an earlier version of this stadium. But the game was played in this very Meadowlands area and it was Pele. I don't want to reveal my age, but it was a long time ago.
Trump said, "I was young and I came to see Pele play, he played amazingly. I would say, maybe I'm talking a little old-fashioned or old-fashioned—like what they say about Babe Ruth; but I would say Pele was really amazing."
