However, in an interview with Ligue 1, former Tottenham and Espanyol’s head coach, he said that it would be difficult to compare Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe with Okocha and Ronaldinho. According to Pochetrino, he said: “We are talking about the best players in the world.”
He also said: “It is difficult to compare because I hate to compare the players because we are talking about the best players in the world, and 20 years ago, of course, this with Okocha, Ronaldinho, Anelka….” “Many amazing players. And now we are talking about Neymar, Mbappé, Messi… you cannot go higher than this level of player,” he concluded.
