Ex-Flamengo star Romário on all-time greats list: “I’m in the top five” | OneFootball

Who are the other four greatest players in history, according to Romário?

Former Flamengo player Romário was one of the greatest players of all time. However, according to himself, the former striker is among the five greatest in history, along with Pelé, Maradona, Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Ronaldo Fenômeno.

“I consider myself one of the 5 greatest players of all time. Pelé, Maradona, Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, me, and Ronaldo. That’s it. I’d give myself an 11 out of 10 as a player,” he said, before concluding:

“Romário was lazy. Romário didn’t train the way many people thought he should. But I scored goals. I was a force to be reckoned with on the pitch, and to hell with the rest. They had to put up with me. Whoever didn’t like it just had to deal with it,” he said in an interview with The Guardian.

What are Romário’s stats?

Romário won several major titles, including the World Cup with the Brazil National Team in 1994. In addition, the ‘little guy’ found the net more than 1,000 times, making him one of the deadliest strikers in the box.

Finally, it is important to note that Romário also won the award for best player in the world. The former Flamengo player finished in second place in 1993, but took first place in 1994.
