Former Brazilian international Deco is one of the few people on the planet who has had the pleasure of playing on the same team as Lionel Messi and Ronaldinho. So when he says that Ronaldinho had more talent than Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, we are forced to take him more seriously than we would almost any other person in the world.
"Ronaldinho was more talented than Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. When we didn't know what to do, he would create chances to score.”
"[Ronaldo] was young, athletic and very competitive. Messi worked hard to do what he does now with the ball for Barca, but what Ronaldinho had was completely natural, he had a special ability. Every time we gave him the ball, he would score a different type of goal."
