The legendary Brazilian footballer Ronaldinho answered the journalists' question of "who was your toughest opponent". Sport24.az reports that the winner of the 2005 "Golden Ball" named famous centre-backs such as John Terry and Paolo Maldini:
"The toughest opponents for me were defenders. They show a tough game when they don't reach the goal. Paolo Maldini and John Terry were the strongest defenders I faced on the field."
It should be noted that the Brazilian, considered one of the best football players in the world, ended his career in 2015.
