Ronaldo Is My All-Time Favorite Footballer, Mbappe Comes Close - Ibrahimovic

Former Manchester United player, Zlatan Ibrahimovic has said Kylian Mbappe is the first player to excite him since Brazilian striker, Ronaldo. Ronaldo was fantastic in Europe during his playing days. The Brazilian had an extraordinary career playing for clubs like Barcelona, Real Madrid, Inter and AC Milan. He also featured for his country as they lifted the 2002 World Cup, scoring lots of goals. Seen as one of the best strikers ever, Ibrahimovic has now called him his all-time favorite footballer, with only Mbappe coming close to the excitement he saw in the football legend. His words, “It has always been the Brazilian Ronaldo,” “When he played, everyone wanted to copy it, the movement, that little bag, bam-bam. He had too elegant a style. He was the one who made me stand in front of the television watching the game.” “Maybe Mbappe makes the difference, he's young, we hope he continues to work hard," he said. “At 19 he is already a star. I hope he is still hungry and passionate about the game, to grow and do even more. It's hard not to get your head together.” On his next destination, “I will join a club that must get back to winning, that has to renew its history and is in search of a battle against everyone and everything.”
