The best players I've ever seen are probably Messi, Romário and Zidane.
But they're not exactly my favorite... even when Romário played for Flamengo, he was never an idol to me, for his arrogant attitude out of the pitch.
My favorite players... hmmm... I always had a weird thing for defenders. Center backs, defensive midfielders and fullbacks. One of my first ever football heroes was
Fernando Hierro. A defender who just had everything - he was a leader, not afraid to play and scored goals. Was Spain top scorer for a while, until Raul took his record.
At Flamengo, there's
Ronaldo Angelim, center back, who has been one of my favorite players for the last 3 or 4 years . Incredibly underrated and the most humble man I've ever seen. You can imagine my joy when it was he who scored the historic winning goal that gave us a league title after 17 long years.
Jamie Carragher used to be my all time favorite Liverpool player, but some of his recent attitudes have disappointed me. Also,
Sami Hyypia is a man I shall always love.
I'll continue later... have to work some time!
