Palmer selects the top five in history: Messi is first! Ronaldo is not as good as Rooney!

October 11th. Some media outlets, Sports Direct Football, posted news that Palmer was recently invited to nominate his top five players. Because there is no restriction on whether he is in active duty, Palmer is asked to choose the top five in history.

The answer given by Palmer is rather unorthodox, except for being recognized as the number one player in history, because players in other positions simply cannot be among the top five in history. Palmer first said that Messi must be ranked first in his mind, because Messi is the GOAT (the first person in history).

Messi should indeed be ranked first by any standard, because he is the first person in history, and the only person in history. Even players like Maradona and Pele, who competed before Messi to be the first player in history and had obvious advantages, are at least one level lower than Messi. Not to mention any other players. Messi even has a chance to use next year's World Cup to elevate his historical status, which is already at least one level ahead, to a level where no one can participate in the discussion.

After nominating Messi, Palmer then gave second, third and fourth place. The second is Neymar, the third is Rooney, and the fourth is Ronaldo. Since Palmer said "Ronaldo", the reporter was not sure whether he was talking about Ronaldo, who was named after Ronaldo, or Ronaldo himself, so he checked with Palmer to see if it was CR7 or R9? The answer given by Palmer is Ronaldo. As for the fifth, Palmer thought about it for a long time, but still couldn't think of anyone who was suitable. Neither Maradona nor Pele was released by him, and finally gave up.

In Palmer's case, Ronaldo is not as good as Rooney, not as good as Neymar, and not even as good as Messi. I don’t know what Ronaldo, who has always regarded himself as aloof, would do if he saw this video. You know, Ronaldo once sent a text message asking Ferdinand to remind Lineker why he kept praising Messi instead of bragging about himself.
