The best of the 2000s from Four-Four-Two: No Messi, Cristiano are not first

And yet it is possible… And yet he dared… The Four Four Two, and to be precise his website wanted to make a list of the best footballers who played in the 2000s decade, which is characterized by something as the “golden decade of football” as most of the best footballers played in it during its years of which most of them were in the prime of their careers.

What emerges as news afterwards, of course from who is at the top of the list. it’s how neither Messi nor Cristiano Ronaldo are in the top three positions.

Who is on top? THE Ronaldinho. Of course, he makes reference to the unique moments he offered as a player for Barcelona and Brazil, combining them with his characteristic smile, emphasizing that the same smile he offered to those who saw him play.

Who else is in the top ten? Here is the list of the top ten places…

1. Ronaldinho

2. Zidane

3. Bad

4. Thierry Henry

5. Cristiano Ronaldo

6. Xavi

7. Ronaldo

8. Iniesta

9. Ibrahimovic

10. Messi

At the end of the list, the website also gives an honorable mention to Adriano. He explains that he had mental health problems that plagued him from a young age and he later admitted that he would have been able to show his enormous value earlier and takes it for granted that he would be present and indeed in the top five.
