Drogba, Etoo the best Africans i played against.
Milan legend Alessandro Nesta has revealed the two best African
players he came up against, while also naming his favourite player
overall.
Nesta, who won the Champions League twice with Milan and also lifted the 2006 FIFA World Cup with Italy, was involved in Heineken’s Q&A during the Champions League semi-final first-leg between FC Barcelona and Bayern.
When asked who was the greatest African he played against, he responded: “Eto'o and Drogba both. They are at the same level.”
Another fan asked him who was the best player he has ever faced, and his answer was straightforward. “Ronaldo (the Brazilian). He had it all - speed, energy. He was just such a superior player,” Nesta wrote.
The legendary centre-back also revealed his five-a-side dream team, where he selected three Barcelona stars, Brazil legend Ronaldo and his countryman Andrea Pirlo.
“You need technical players. Pirlo, Brazilian Ronaldo, Xavi & Iniesta and Messi. I would win for sure,” he added.
Nesta won 19 trophies during his illustrious career with Lazio, Milan and Italy.
Nesta must have limited his options to Drogba and Etoo because he never played against the former world best player; George Weah, he never met the oldest player to score in the world cup; 'Roger Milla, he never played Ghanian legend;Abedi Pele and he never encountered either Austin Jayjay Okocha or Kanu Nwankwo.
