But if we speak strictly of talent and ability, no one is superior to the Brazilian. When I was in Barcelona with Bobby Robson (as an assistant coach, in 1996-97, note), I realized that he was the best player I have ever seen in my life. The injuries have killed his career, which could have been even more incredible, but the talent of the player at 19 was exceptional, “said the Portuguese technician in comments reported by Mundo Deportivo.
