Slap in the face! Ronaldo lost the best three and caused controversy. IFFHS targeted Ronaldo fans: The team is more important than data!

On May 21, IFFHS (International Football History and Statistics Federation) released the best football history voted by football experts, with Messi well deservedly ranked first. What is surprising is that the five-time Golden Ball winner Cristiano Ronaldo, who is about to complete the "Thousand Balls", is only ranked fourth, ahead of him by the football kings Pele and Maradona. Cruyff, Ronaldo, Zidane, Beckenbauer, Stefano and Ronaldo ranked 5-8th.

This result undoubtedly made Ronaldo, who has always regarded himself as the best in football history, extremely dissatisfied with his fans. Some extreme fans once conquered the IFFHS official website and conducted online violence against the institution and the voting experts participating in the selection. IFFHS Vice Chairman Robert Ley had to stand up and accept an interview with the authoritative French sports media "The Gallery", explaining the rationality of the election results.

In the interview, he mentioned the selection criteria and emphasized again: "When selecting, we comprehensively considered the player's career, importance to the team, player leadership and influence, number of trophys and gold content, and personal data, etc. The final vote by the football experts from the world can be guaranteed to be objective."

Then, Robert Ley further explained the reason why Ronaldo ranked low, and he said: "Pelle and Maradona are far more important to the team than C. Ronaldo. Pele won the World Cup with Brazil three times, Maradona alone took over Argentina in the 1986 World Cup, and Ronaldo gave more of his achievements in personal data. The importance of the team is more critical than the data. "

Finally, he said: "Due to the development and changes of football, it is indeed difficult to directly compare players from different eras. But this is our ranking."

Netizens also left messages and expressed their opinions:

Netizens 1: From any standard or angle, Messi is recognized as the first in football history! However, as a shooter, Ronaldo, without a World Cup or a MVP in the competition, should never be ahead of Ged Muller. His traffic value is much greater than his competitive value!

Netizen 2: Haha! This chairman is good or bad! The importance of the team is more critical than the data. Isn’t this a public slap in Ronaldo in the face!

Netizen 3: Ronaldo's fans are so high! It's just a ranking, and it's also a personal attack.

Netizen 4: The World Cup is just a wide influence, and it is definitely the first in the Champions League in terms of football technology. And Ronaldo is the king of the Champions League!

Netizen 5:5 penalty kicks, ranking first, nothing wrong!

Netizen 6: When it comes to football's laughing stock, Ronaldo deserves it.
