In an interview with Manchester United's official website, Lonnick said that Maradona and Cruyff are the two who should definitely be nominated when talking about the best topic in history.
Who is the best player ever?
Lonnick: "I think there are a lot of people who will be taken into account, but Diego Maradona is definitely one of them. In addition, Cruyff influenced many aspects of my tenure as coach and I think Cruyff was the first Number 10 player in modern football. Cruyff had a lot of influence, not just as a player, but also later as a coach at clubs like Ajax and Barcelona. I remember when I was around 13 or 14 years old, playing for a youth team in my hometown, I asked my coach if he could use the number 14 jersey number (Cruyff number), which was not a normal choice at the time, because usually a team number is from number 1 to number 11. However, the coach allowed me to play with the reserve number 14 shirt on the back of the shirt. ”
Lonnick continued: "It's two of those names that I'll say, but obviously there will be a lot of stars to be taken into account. We now have Cristiano Ronaldo, Messi, Levan. So it's hard to pick one of them, but I think Diego and John are definitely two stars who should be nominated for the best player of all time. ”
