Okocha Is More Skillful Than Pele –weah by mr1759(op): 6:33pm On Jul 22, 2017
According to Liberian legend George Weah,
former Nigerian midfielder Austin Okocha is the
most skillful player on the continent.
Weah compared Okocha to one of Ghana’s
greatest players in Abedi Pele, saying Okocha is
the most talented player on the African
continent.
The former AC Milan and Chelsea forward said
‘Jay Jay’ is more skilled and claims that he,
himself, came nowhere close to the Super
Eagles legend.
“Abedi is a strong player, he’s a creative player
but Jay Jay is more skillful. Even me, Jay Jay
has more techniques than me,” said Weah.
“All the things that Jay Jay does on the field,
we don’t even do one percent of it.
“So Jay Jay is a legend when it comes to that;
he is very creative, he is very smart and he
knows how to do tricks.’
‘’For me I don’t do tricks, I will score a good
goal and when I am squeezed up, I know how to
run around. But to put the ball on the ground
and play with it, I give it to Jay Jay; he is an
entertainer,” adds the 50-year-old.
Okocha, who garnered 75 caps during his
illustrious career, never won the CAF African
Player of Year award as he was a runner-upon
two occasion.
The retired Weah is reportedly contesting to be
Liberia’s next President.

It is unarguable.

Okocha is more skillful than Abedi Ayew.

They are both skillful.
But Ronaldinho was a magician!
