The Hollywood actor has voiced his opinion regarding the Argentine international and has stated that he is the best player of all time.
Viggo Mortensen, the famous American artist, recently visited http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011 during the promotional tour of his new film ‘Everybody Has a Plan’. During his trip, he gave an interview to Spanish media giants, Marca, in which he revealed his choice for the best footballer
ever.
The actor, known for his popular role in the Lord of the Rings trilogy, expressed his liking for Barcelona’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lionel-Messi-c22296. The 53-year-old went on to emphasize that the Argentine international has no comparison in terms of skill and talent, and is surely
amongst the greatest athletes of all time.
Mortensen stressed that Messi’s brilliance in terms of the modern game and his creativity on the pitch are unlike any other player in the world at the moment. He claimed that one cannot help but appreciate the consistency with which the Barca number 10
has improved over the years.
Continuing the discussion, Mortensen revealed his disdain for football legends, Maradona and Pele. The senior actor was of the opinion that the two retired athletes should take note of Messi and acknowledges his talent instead of fighting each other in order
to prove who the better player is.
His critique was particularly aimed at Pele as he has often made the news for giving outrageous remarks regarding the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Argentina-c2841 skipper.
According to Marca, the actor was quoted as saying:
“I think he's one of the best players of all time. Messi is consistently brilliant and inventive in terms of individual skill. In my opinion, he also stands out because of his humility and for not blowing his own trumpet. Pele and Maradona have to accept
that Messi has taken football to another level."
"Pele makes me sick. As a kid I thought he was God like every other kid on the planet. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Pele-c40189 was ground breaking, because what he did on the pitch was like art. However, I have much less respect for Pele now on account of the things he says, for example,
like saying http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Neymar-c27639 is better than Messi. It's absurd."
La Pulga has managed to make quite a reputation for himself ever since he became a member of the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 senior team. The 25-year-old has achieved far more than any of his competitors and still continues to amaze audiences all over the world.
