Former Chelsea defender singles out the Brazilian agent as the most skilful player he’s ever faced.
Cole confesses he was admiring the Ronaldinho’s crazy pieces of skill even if he was playing against him.
“Even though I was in battles against him [Ronaldinho], sometimes I’d laugh to myself when he pulled off a crazy piece of skill or nutmegged someone,” former Chelsea left-back Ashley Cole told Goal.
“Even as you’re playing against him, you enjoy watching him play. The way he floated across that turf, doing stepovers, finding passes with every party of his foot… He was like a magician.
“You see a lot of players who feel like they have the skills but he was efficient, too; he did it in the right areas. He cut teams apart with his skill. He had everything.”
While creating his perfect player, Cole chose Ronaldinho for his skills.
Cole faced Ronaldinho several times, at both Chelsea and Arsenal. As a Gunner, the left-back lost 2-1 to Barca in the Champions League final in 2006.
