Okocha failed to pick Messi or Neymar when asked to choose a player (past or present) who is a better dribbler than him.
Former Super Eagles star and captain Austin Jay-Jay Okocha is in the news after he claimed Lionel Messi and Neymar Jnr are not better dribblers than him.
Okocha skills unmatched
Okocha revealed this at an event, where he was asked to select a player (past or present) who dribbles better than him.
The former Bolton Wanderers star and captain is one of the most gifted footballers the world has ever seen.
Okocha was known for his magic on the ball, with his dribbling skills leaving his fellow professional footballers on the ball.
In terms of dribbles, Okocha was one of the best on the pitch. The former Paris Saint-Germain midfielder did a lot of tricks that left his colleagues stunned.
Okocha says he’s a better dribbler than Messi and Neymar
But since he retired, there have been other great dribblers of the ball, including the likes of Neymar, Ronaldinho and Messi, who is regarded as the greatest player of all time.
However, despite their obvious talents, Okocha does not believe that both Neymar and Messi are better dribblers than him.
When asked to say something if he hears the name of a player who is a better dribbler than him, Okocha refused to say anything despite hearing names like Bernardo Silva, Phil Foden, Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar Jnr and Lionel Messi.
The ex-Super Eagles captain even refused to budge when he heard the names of his countrymen, Victor Osimhen and Ademola Lookman.
Okocha went ahead to say he is officially the best dribbler of all time because that was his biggest strength.
