During the last days have trascended to the media some statements effected by Peeled in Milan, during the presentation of a film on his life called "Peeled: The birth of a legend". With them, the mythical ex Brazilian footballer commissioned to praise to the big figure of the FC Barcelona, Leo Messi, standing out that if it was in active would play at present in the FC Barcelona.

"If it could choose, to day of today would play in the Barcelona because they amuse playing", signals. I peeled has clear who is the best player of the world in the actuality, and plants him by in front of Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar Jr. "The biggest of all is Messi. Leo is my player preferred. The style of Messi is entirely different to the of Cristiano. Neymar Is also one of which more talent have, but each player is distinct to the another".

I peeled it showed critic precisely with Neymar Jr, ensuring that a player of another period, Vasconcelos, was ten better times. "It is a good player, but Vasconcelos, ex of the Saints in the 50, was ten better times". Finally, it launched also a dart to the style of current football, ensuring that it has gone back too defensive for his taste. "Nowadays there is very good footballers, but are very defensive".

The mythical forward of the winning Saints of two World-wide with Brazil, Peeled, was until the past 14 May 2016 the player sudamericano with more important titles in his list of winners. A total of 29 coronations had "Or Rey". This season, Dani Alves has surpassed him with the titles of League BBVA and Glass of Rey, having arrived until the 31 official titles.
