In a strange interview, Steven Gerrard named Cristiano Ronaldo the greatest player of all time, despite previously awarding the title to Lionel Messi.
Gerrard has had a strange career since retiring in 2016. His success at Rangers led to him being hired as the manager of Aston Villa, but he was sacked less than a year later and is now the manager of Al Ettifaq in Saudi Arabia.The new role includes becoming a de facto ambassador for the professional league of Saudi Arabia and the country.
When Ronaldo was also in the league, Gerrard praised his former Portuguese rival, calling him a “goat” (his own expression), despite previously saying otherwise.In a shocking on-camera interview, Gerrard unusually said: “The arrival in January of the goat we call Cristiano Ronaldo was obviously a huge asset. “I look at Cristiano’s results six months from now because [he] still has a lot of football to offer.”The former Liverpool spokesman said he believed the league would “become a very popular topic for everyone” after joining Ronaldo Al Nasr.
The former number 8 even admitted on camera that he believes Lionel Messi is the best player of all time.Gerrard is one of the highest paid managers in the world despite coaching in a relatively weak league. With the money comes the work of promoting Saudi Arabia, and many Liverpool fans have responded in kind.
