Speaking on the Premier League YouTube channel, Ruben Dias has claimed that Wolves’ Pedro Neto is up there with Cristiano Ronaldo when it comes to dribbling ability.
The Man City star was playing a game where he had to name the Portugal players who are the best in certain attributes that you would find on a FIFA Ultimate Team card.
Understandably, Dias said that Ronaldo was the best dribbler, but he named Neto and Bernardo Silva as two players who are also in the conversation.
“Again I need to say Cristiano (Ronaldo). The time he was here he was definitely great, he got the Ballon D’Or, but I have to say (Pedro) Neto as well and also Bernardo, Bernardo is a phenomenon,” Dias said.
This is big praise from Dias.
Is Neto going to become as good as Ronaldo? It’s unlikely when you consider that the Juventus ace is one of the greatest players of all time.
However, when it comes to dribbling ability, Neto is right up there with the best of the best in world football, and Dias recognises the skill that his Portugal teammate possesses on the ball.
