In an interview with FourFourTwo, Ivan Zamorano has sang the praises of former Inter strike partner Ronaldo and revealed that the Brazilian is the best player he ever played alongisde.
Ronaldo joined Inter in a then world transfer record deal from Barcelona in the Summer of 1997 and would spend five years on the club's books before completing another then world record transfer as he would join Real Madrid.
'Il Fenomeno' as he came to be known, dazzled Inter fans with his skills and scared the life out of defenders with his frightening pace but did spend a large time of his spell with the Nerazzurri on the sidelines with knee injuries, something that would ultimately plague him throughout his career.
All in all, the two time Balon d'Or and World Cup winner, made 98 appearances across all competitions for the club in which he scored a sensational 59 goals.
“Ronaldo is the greatest I ever played with. The only thing was that he didn't head so well, but for the rest he was a complete player, one that was a joy to watch,” Zamorano, who was at Inter for all barring Ronaldo's last season with the club, said.
“He was extraordinary. The speed, the technique…he could go at 100km/hr, slow down and speed off again.”
