“There’s Pedri, there’s Vitinha, there’s Mac Allister… There are three or four players who for me are among the best because they understand collective football,” he said in a chat with Romario on his TV channel.
“They understand that, when they pass the ball, they’re already thinking about the next play, even the double play. They don’t pass for passing: they understand the game. Pedri, for example, has it. Also Frenkie de Jong, who for me is very underrated. I think he’s a similar player to what I was.”
