Mueller: I supported Ronaldo more in the first 10 years of my career, but now I think Messi is the best in history

Hupu, August 22, recently, German striker Thomas Mueller, who just joined the American Professional League club Vancouver White Wave, accepted an exclusive interview with the Major League of American Professional Football. The Bayern legend also answered multiple topics in the interview, among which he also talked about the comparison between Messi and Ronaldo and gave his own opinions.

Host: "When you played for Bayern, is there a certain tactical plan or strategy that other players or teams can learn from? For example, have you summarized some methods in your career that not only helps you, but also helps the team effectively limit Messi's performance and his impact on the game?"

Mueller replied: "When it comes to the game itself... to be honest, I don't fully understand why we are quite successful when facing Messi most of the time (limiting him). Of course, we also got beaten up by Barcelona - I remember it was in 2015, when they finally won the Champions League, we lost to them, and we lost without temper. But in general, if you want me to tell me what it means, I really can't summarize it."

"But seriously, in my opinion, Messi is the greatest player in football history. There are always discussions about the comparison between Messi and Ronaldo, but to be honest, both of them are very strong and outstanding, and they are crazy. Of course, Messi's playing style is more elegant and artistic. In the first ten years of my career, if I had to choose one of them, I always supported Ronaldo. But now I am a little older and my ideas are a little more 'romantic' - I value the beauty of playing more than just looking at data, performance or professionalism. In addition, Messi led Argentina to the World Cup, and I am more inclined to him now."

"However, I come to the FA League now, and I will 'arrest' you again (laughing)."
