Kepler Laveran Lima Ferreira, nicknamed Pepe, is one of the most hated defenders in football. During his stay at Real Madrid, the Portuguese was particularly “bad” every time he played a big game, in this case El Clasico. Having faced Lionel Messi on numerous occasions, Pepe still believes the Argentine is inferior to fellow countryman Cristiano Ronaldo despite having received seven Golden Balls.
In an interview with TNT Sports Brazil, Pepe decided between the Lusitanian and Pulga and explained why he claims Cr7 is the best player in football history.
“He is complete. Cristiano, for me, is more complete. It means everything. First, to say complete, I have already said everything. I admire Chris a lot and he is already available to everyone from Madrid. For me, he is the best player in the world and in history,” he said. Football. Because he managed to do what no one else did. He won in England, he won in Spain, he won in Italy and he won with the Portuguese national team. We are 10 million people.
Pepe and Cristiano Ronaldo still share the Portuguese selection’s locker room. They want to qualify for the next, and possibly the last, FIFA World Cup. But this will first be subject to the play-offs, because the Seleção failed to qualify directly.
