Beijing, December 28, Beijing time, Brazil's legend Zico stressed in an interview that the outside world should not underestimate Messi's value because he did not win the World Cup.
Zico said: "People nowadays only focus on the honors they have achieved, and I think the effort in my career is the most important." Football is a collective sport, and sometimes the results achieved do not depend on the way you play the ball individually, but on the performance of the whole team. You have the potential to dominate one game, but you can't dominate the whole race. ”
"So Messi didn't win the World Cup, and we shouldn't underestimate his worth. Cruyff also did not win the World Cup, but he is one of the greatest players in football history. I think that kind of evaluation criteria apply to other players as well. ”
"Now, we hear 'I' more than 'we'. Let's say there are some young players who don't pay much attention to what's going on in your career. He likes to ask me: 'Are you the best player in the world?' Are you the best player of your generation? We're all thinking about who the best players are now, but football is a collective sport, not an individual sport. ”
During his Brazilian national team career, Zico played in 72 games and scored 52 goals. Zico has played in three World Cups (1978, 1982 and 1986), but unfortunately he has not lifted the Hercules Cup either. (End)
