Heung-Min Son says Liverpool have a player who he actually thinks is better than Ronaldinho

Heung-Min Son has been discussing some of the best attacking wingers in football history.

Speaking to Goal, the Korean was tasked with ranking and comparing some of the best wingers in modern history.

Son himself is a world-class winger at his best, and during this challenge, he made quite the claim about Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah.

Salah has been one of the best players in the world this season. In fact, Salah is in Ballon d’Or winning form as of late.

During this challenge, Heung-Min Son shared just how highly he rates Salah, going as far as to pick the Egyptian over the likes of Ronaldinho, Neymar and even himself.

Heung-Min Son picks Mohamed Salah over Ronaldinho

Son was asked to choose between Salah and Ronaldinho.

As you can imagine, this wasn’t an easy choice for the Tottenham captain.

However, ultimately, the Spurs star opted to pick Salah over Ronaldinho.

That wasn’t the only interesting claim Son made about these legendary wingers.

Mohamed Salah compared to Ronaldinho

Comparing Mohamed Salah to Ronaldinho is an unenviable task to say the least.

Yes, they’re both world-class attacking players, but, in terms of style of play, they’re like apples and oranges.

Rio Ferdinand recently said that Salah isn’t that entertaining of a player, and, in a way, he’s not wrong.

The Liverpool ace is all about ultra-efficiency, he wants to create chances, score goals and make things happen.

That’s why Salah is one of the best players in Premier League history.

Meanwhile, Ronaldinho was more of an artist than a footballer at times, he could tie any opponent in knots, and, at times, it felt like he’d rather get a nutmeg than a goal.

If you compare the two statistically, Salah does come out on top.

However, to reduce Ronaldinho’s game down to goals and assists is a disservice to his ability, and it’s a disservice to what makes football a beautiful game – the beautiful game even.

Both players are incredible, and, when all is said and done, they will go down as two of the greatest of all-time.

Son prefers Salah to Ronaldinho, but there really is no wrong answer when comparing these two legends.
