The shining Chelsea midfielder confessed a love for his fellow countryman, even though the star didn't last long in the elite.

The Brazilian, Willian, who plays for Chelsea, chatted with 'GOAL' and chose the best player that he has known. He had no qualms in selecting Ronaldinho ahead of the always compared Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo.

"Ronaldinho was the best of all time. Better than Messi and Cristiano," the player started, who is an international with Brazil.

"They score goals, but what Ronnie did was incredible. He was amazing on the field and also scored," continued the Chelsea player.

Willian, of course, blames him for not being in the elite any longer: "As a fan of his, I have to say that he left too soon. If he had kept up the level a couple of years, he would have won many more Ballon d'Or's"

Interestingly, despite having already played in Europe against Barcelona and Milan on several occasions, William was never able to face his idol 'Ronnie'.
