Fabio Capello is one of the star guests at Laureus Awards in Shanghai. The former Real Madrid and Milan coach, now in charge of the Russia national side, spoke in a press conference for the awards and spoke about his ‘Madridismo’ (“For me they are the favourites to win the Champions League”) but had doubts over who the best player in the world is. “Messi is a player who has more fantasy, is in another dimension, es more creative than anyone else. When he has the ball at his feet he goes direct to goal, because he does not have the same shot from outside the box as Cristiano has. And then there are the passes from the Argentine that nobody else in the world can make. Cristiano is a goalscorer, with the right, left, with his head, from set-pieces…and he has great speed.”
Regarding the Champions League, Capello sees a battle between Madrid and Bayern: “In my opinion Madrid are the favourites to win the Champions League. Bayern also has a good team but last year they showed that they have problems in defence when they lose the ball. This season Madrid have corrected things, they will be harder to beat in the Champions League. Now they are a much more compact package.”
The Italian coach also praised the improvements made by Neymar. “Neymar has more imagination than Cristiano. But he has needed time. The mess with the contract has also had an impact on things. It is an important thing. We saw Messi fall sharply with the problems he had (the tax issue). I always ask players about these things: “Do you have problems with money, with your wife, at home? I wanted to know everything.”
