Nigeria legend Austin Jay-Jay Okocha has stated that it is difficult to draw comparisons between him and former Brazilian superstar Ronaldinho.

The former Super Eagles captain named Ronaldinho as the most skilful player he shared the pitch with.

Okocha, however, believes that it is difficult to name any player who was more skilful than him.

He referred to himself as the “Chief Flair Officer” but acknowledged the prowess of the former Barcelona forward as a genius whose talent was evident for all to see.

Responding to Mikel Arteta's comment that he could not pick who was more skilful between the duo, Okocha said:

“I can’t say that anybody is better than me since I’ve accepted the title of Chief Flair Officer. He [Ronaldinho] was a genius when it comes to football. Straight away, we saw his talent,” he told Clutch 9.

“He brought something different, and in a way we clicked, because our foundation was the same. We learnt how to play on the street; we were playing because we loved the game, and with smiles on our faces.

“It’s difficult to compare both of us because we both had good careers, even though he took it higher.”
