Brazil
legend Ronaldinho has revealed that Super Eagles great Austin ‘Jay Jay’ Okocha
was the only number 10 he always admired.
Okocha
and Ronaldinho played for just one season together at Paris Saint-Germain and
there is a popular Nigerian legend that says the former Barcelona star learnt a
lot of his skills from the Nigerian great.
It
seems Ronaldinho confirmed it when he shared a photo of him and Okocha
revealing that he always admired the former Super Eagles captain.
“Only
a shirt I always admired. Jay-Jay Okocha,” Ronaldinho wrote alongside the photo
of him, Okocha and former Colombia star, Carlos Valderrama.
The
former footballers met in Bahrain where they are attending the 67th FIFA
Congress.
After
leaving Paris Saint-Germain, Okocha had a memorable stint at Bolton Wanderers
before playing for the likes of Qatar SC and Hull City.
Ronaldinho’s
career skyrocketed when he left Paris Saint-Germain, becoming the best
footballer while playing for Barcelona.
With
Barcelona, he won two La Liga titles, the Champions League, FIFA World Player
of the Year twice in 2004 and 2005 and the Ballon d'Or in 2005.
He
is regarded as one of the most skilful footballers in history
