"Ronaldo isn't better than Neymar"

Pele, who said once that Neymar will never reach his level, defended the Brazilian and said he is better than Cristiano Ronaldo.

"The only problem Neymar has are the headers. Ronaldo isn't better than him," he admitted in an interview with ESPN.

"Neymar's technique is much better but Cristiano knows better how to use his head. It's normal to see Neymar scoring goals with his head. Ronaldo has an advantage," he continued.

Furthermore he lamented that Maradona he criticizes him whenever he has a microphone in front of him. " He is a good boy, you can always talk with him," he said.
