Former Super Eagles captain, Austin ‘Jay-Jay’ Okocha, has said it is difficult to compare him with Brazil football legend, Ronaldinho.
He also admitted that Ronaldinho is the most skilful player he ever played alongside.
Okocha revealed this during an interview with Clutch 9.
The former midfielder was reacting to comments made by Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta, who once played with both men at Paris Saint-Germain, admitting he could not decide who was more skilful between the duo.
Okocha said: “I can’t say that anybody is better than me since I’ve accepted the title of chief flair officer. He [Ronaldinho] was a genius when it comes to football. Straight away we saw his talent.
“He brought something different, and in a way we clicked, because our foundation was the same. We learnt how to play on the street; we were playing because we loved the game, and with smiles on our faces.
“It’s difficult to compare both of us because we had a good career, even though he took it higher.”
