Former world’s best player George Oppong Weah believes ex-Nigeria international Austin Jay Jay Okocha is more skillful player than Ghana’s Abedi Pele.
According to the former AC Milan great, despite his revered status in world football, Abedi Pele came nowhere close to the former Super Eagles captain in terms of being artful with the ball at his feet,
“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. 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,’’ Weah who is contesting to be Liberia’s next President said on Wednesday in Ghana.
He added: ‘’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.”
Okocha, who garnered 75 caps during his illustrious career, never won the African Player of Year award.
Ironically, he is arguably the best player never to have been crowned the continent’s best player despite being runner-up twice.
