If Neymar was worth £200 million, then Ronaldinho and Ronaldo would be priceless

Witnessing the world’s most expensive player Neymar lead PSG to overcome Atalanta in the Champions League, former German international Roberto Hilbert said that super players like Ronaldionho and Ronaldo Nazario will not be able to buy in today’s transfer market. now.

Ronaldinho and Ronaldo
Hilbert admitted that he never had the ‘privilege’ of facing Ronaldo Nazario throughout his career, but he did face Ronaldinho twice during Ro Vu’s prime days at Barcelona in the 2007/2008 season.

Hilbert’s fate came in the Champions League group stage clash between Stuttgart and Barcelona. The Catalan team comfortably won both matches, 3-1 and 2-0. At that time, Ronaldinho was still at the peak of his talent and was an important member of the Barca squad including Thierry Henry, Andres Iniesta, Xavi Hernandez and even young Lionel Messi.
And even though ‘Ro vau’ only scored 1 goal in 2 matches against Stuttgart, he is still the most impressive player in Hilbert’s eyes. The former German full-back was very impressed with the Barca icon. He still rates Ronaldinho as possibly the greatest player of all time and the strongest opponent he has ever faced. “The best player I ever faced was Ronaldinho,” Hilbert told Goal. For me, he is probably the best player so far. He is agile, strong and always cheerful. Stuttgart played Barcelona and the result didn’t go well for us but I always say it was a happy experience! I just tried to kick badly to stop him, but it’s not easy to ‘play’ him.”

“He and Franck Ribery, the best I played against in Germany, played for fun, not for work. They are happy to go on the field and play with the ball at their feet, they love it, they feel it in their hearts and they play for joy.”
“They have talent that God gave them and no one else has. They are difference makers because no one else can do what they do.”

“Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Kylian Mbappe and Neymar all did it. They love it and have fun at the highest level.”

“They never feel insecure or think they aren’t good enough. When they come on the field, they think they are the best players in the world, that’s why they are so great.”

Neymar is currently the most expensive player in the world after a £200 million transfer to Paris Saint-Germain from Barcelona in 2017. However, if Ronaldinho or Ronaldo Nazario played at their peak right now, Hilbert believes that this pair will easily far exceeds that price. He added: “I think Ronaldinho or Ronaldo would be too expensive to buy in the market the way it is going. If Neymar was 200 million pounds (220 million euros) and with his salary, then I think ‘Alien’ Ronaldinho and Ronaldo would be even more expensive to the point of being unaffordable.”
