Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford named the best players in football history in a short but engaging interview with ESPN. His responses sparked considerable discussion in the football community.
The journalist asked him to name the strongest football players in history in various positions through several "blitz questions." Rashford's responses were:
- "Who is the best attacking player?"
- "Of course, Ronaldo. His thirst for victory and accurate shots are in history."
- "Who is the most reliable goalkeeper?"
- "Buffon for me. He is a great person not only in his reaction, but also in his qualities."
- "Who would you call the best defender?"
- "Maldini. His game thinking and leadership qualities on the field are incomparable."
- "Who is the best playmaker?"
- "The answer to this question is simple - Messi. His passes, dribbling, and sense of the game are different."
- "And the strongest dribbling?"
- "Ronaldo Nazario. His speed and technique are still an ideal criterion for many."
- "The most charismatic football player?"
- "Zlatan Ibrahimovich. His behavior and confident actions are a true example."
- "Who is the best player in La Liga history?"
- "Messi. His statistics, influence, and playing style have made him an absolute legend in this league."
- "Who is the best football player in football history?"
- "It's very difficult for me to choose between these two. Messi and Ronaldo - both brought this sport to a new level. Modern football is unimaginable without them," Rashford said.
Rashford, currently playing on loan at Barcelona, sparked heated discussions among fans. While some felt his love for Messi more, others viewed Rashford's equal treatment of both as true professionalism.
At the same time, the young striker emphasized that he does not yet consider himself ready to be included in such lists, since "a lot still needs to be done to make history."
There were many such comments among the players, but Rashford's sincerity and respectful responses clearly reflected his personal worldview.
