Jose Mourinho has confirmed that the best player he has ever known is not Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, but former Brazilian star Ronaldo Nazario.

Mourinho said in televised remarks that Ronaldo Nazario is the best player he has ever seen, noting that he does not forget his goal against PSG.

Mourinho added that had he not had injuries, Ronaldo would have had more achievements.

Mourinho 🎤: Ronaldo Nazario is the best player I've ever seen
Announcer: The best player you have ever seen?
Mourinho: Yes
He does not have a long career like Messi and Cristiano 15 years old but on the level of talent and intelligence no one beats Ronaldo Nazario and certainly is the best player I have ever seen # Retweet pic.twitter.com/GHfOZ5yqxC

Ronaldo made early football achievements as he was younger than he was crowned World Player of the Year in 1996 at the age of 20 (he was crowned three times), and the following year also won the Golden Ball (he won on two occasions).

He won the World Cup in 1994 in America, 2002 in Korea and Japan, and was crowned top scorer at the 1998 and 2002 World Cups.

Ronaldo played for Barcelona and Inter Milan respectively before returning to Spain from the Real Madrid gate and then returning to Italy with a Milan shirt.

Last week I was in a restaurant, a little older man approached and greeted me and said, "Do you remember your goal at Compostela?"

I replied: Yes, I remember him of course.

He told me: I was there

Ah you are in the stadium as a fan, this is good.

No, I was on the pitch, I was one of the defenders who manipulated them.
