<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jurgen-klopp">Jurgen Klopp</a></strong>, one of the most influential coaches in European and global soccer over the past two decades, has led just three clubs during his career: Mainz, Borussia Dortmund, and <strong>Liverpool</strong>. Despite his relatively small list of clubs, Klopp has built a legacy defined by trophies and a unique style of play that has earned him a place among the world’s elite managers.</p>



<p>Now 57, <strong>after nine seasons at the helm of the <em>Reds</em></strong>, Klopp has decided to take a break from coaching, rejecting multiple offers in recent months. For now, he’s confirmed he wants to relax and enjoy life away from the sidelines.</p>



<p>Throughout his <strong>23-year coaching career</strong>, the Stuttgart-born tactician has worked with a host of world-class players, including Marco Reus, Robert Lewandowski, Mats Hummels, Virgil van Dijk, Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah, to name a few. </p>



<p>However, when it came time to pick the greatest player in soccer history, Klopp didn’t hesitate. His choice wasn’t a contemporary player but a legend of the game: <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pele">Pele</a></strong>.</p>

<p>In a 2018 interview with <em>Liverpool FCTV</em>, Klopp revealed his admiration for <em>“O Rei,”</em> explaining that it was his father who instilled in him the belief that Pele was the best.</p>


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/soccer/former-real-madrid-coach-zinedine-zidane-chooses-the-greatest-soccer-player-in-history"></div>


<p><strong><em>“My father always told me that no matter what people say in the future, Pelé is the greatest (of all time). I met him when I was a commentator for the 2006 World Cup. I’m not the kind of person who gets nervous, but in that moment, I was sweating like crazy. The best in history? For me, it’s Pelé,” </em></strong>Klopp said.</p>



<h2>Klopp’s recognition of Lionel Messi</h2>



<p>While Klopp praised Pelé and named him as the best, he also had high praise for <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi">Lionel Messi</a></strong>, whom he called “<em><strong>the best player I’ve ever seen.</strong></em>” Due to his age, Klopp never got the chance to watch Pelé in his prime, but he’s faced Messi on several occasions and witnessed his brilliance firsthand.</p>



<p>After Messi won the 2022 World Cup with Argentina at the age of 35, Klopp was effusive in his admiration: “<strong><em>The way he plays soccer at his age… His performance could give us an idea of how long players can continue to compete at the highest level. It also serves as a reminder that we shouldn’t be too quick to close the book on a player’s career. It was a pleasure to watch him at the World Cup,</em></strong>” Klopp said.</p>

<p>It’s no secret that <strong>Pope Francis </strong>is an avid soccer fan. The pontiff has always expressed his passion for the sport, keeping a close eye on Argentina’s national team and his favorite club, San Lorenzo de Almagro, which plays in Argentina’s top division.</p>



<p>At 87 years old, Pope Francis recently revealed who he believes are the three best players in the history of the sport. Unsurprisingly, he named two Argentine legends, <strong>Diego Armando Maradona </strong>and <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi">Lionel Messi</a></strong>, while also honoring another iconic figure.</p>



<p>The third player rounding out the Pope’s list is none other than <strong>Pelé</strong>, the Brazilian legend who <strong>won three World Cups</strong>. Francis shared his admiration for the late Brazilian star, acknowledging the impact Pelé had on soccer worldwide.</p>



<p><strong><em>“Maradona, as a player, was great, but as a man, he failed. Poor thing, he was surrounded by people who adored him but didn’t help him,” </em></strong>Pope Francis remarked, reflecting on the Argentine who led his country to World Cup glory in 1986.</p>

<p>Speaking on Lionel Messi, he added,<strong><em> “Messi is incredibly proper. He’s a gentleman.” </em></strong>And when it came to Pelé, the Pope was even more expressive: <em><strong>“I add a third: Pelé. These are the three I have seen play. To me, the greatest gentleman of them all is Pelé.”</strong></em></p>



<p><strong><em>“Pelé was a man with heart. I spoke with him once on a plane in Buenos Aires, and I realized how humane he was. All three are remarkable, each with their own unique qualities,” </em></strong>Pope Francis concluded.</p>



<h2>David Beckham reveals his four greatest players</h2>



<p>During a visit to Mexico City in 2023, <strong>David Beckham </strong>was asked to name his four greatest soccer players of all time. His list honored legends from both past and present, including two players who have passed away and two still competing at the highest level.</p>


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/soccer/ronaldo-nazario-chooses-the-8-greatest-players-in-soccers-history-not-featuring-cristiano-ronaldo"></div>


<p><strong><em>“I’m not sure if Messi is the greatest of all time,”</em></strong> Beckham noted. <em><strong>“When you look back at the greats over the years—from Pelé to Maradona, and of course, Cristiano and Messi—it’s tough to pick just one. But what Leo has achieved is remarkable.”</strong></em></p>



<p>Reflecting on Messi’s World Cup triumph, Beckham added, <em><strong>“To end his career with a World Cup win… well, his career isn’t over yet; he still has a few more years. He’s definitely one of the greatest players of all time.”</strong></em></p>

<p>The soccer community mourns the loss of one of its true icons. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/germany">German</a> legend <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/fc-hollywood-the-greatest-players-in-bayern-munichs-history-20240103-BUS-95803.html">Franz Beckenbauer</a></strong> passed away on Monday at the age of 78, which led to touching tributes from all over the planet. <strong>Pele</strong>‘s official profile also dedicated an emotional message to the former defender, who shared the field with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/pele-a-lifetime-of-achievements-and-records-20201023-0006.html">‘O Rei’</a> at the <strong>New York Cosmos</strong>.</p>



<p>“<em><strong>They were much more than good friends. King Pelé called Beckenbauer his brother</strong>. Team partners, when they played together for the New York Cosmos, the two legends nurtured a beautiful and rare friendship throughout their lives. This is a difficult farewell for anyone who loves football. However, we hope it will be a beautiful reunion in heaven. Thanks for everything, Beckenbauer,</em>” the social media post read.</p>



<p>Beckenbauer and Pele spent the sunset years of their respective careers in the Big Apple in the 1970s. Even though they only played in 20 <strong>NASL</strong> games together – with 16 wins – they managed to celebrate the <strong>1977 Soccer Bowl</strong> title.</p>

<h2>What Beckenbauer said about Pele after O Rei’s death</h2>



<p>The Germany icon had also written a heartfelt letter following Pele’s passing in December 2022. In his tribute, Beckenbauer said The King was the reason he moved to the US, explaining <strong>how quickly they bonded</strong>.</p>



<p><em>“Football has lost the greatest in its history today – and I have lost a unique friend. Born in Três Corações, Pelé had three hearts: for football, for his family and for all people. One who played with the stars and always stayed grounded. I went to the USA in 1977 because I really wanted to play in a team with Pelé at Cosmos New York.<strong> That time alongside him was one of the greatest experiences of my career. We won the US championship at the first attempt and Pelé called me his brother. </strong>That was an unimaginable honour for me. Football will always be yours, my friend! You will always remain. Thank you for your game, O Rei!</em>,” Beckenbauer wrote in a social media post on December 29, 2022.</p>

<p>Widely regarded as the best defender of all time, Beckenbauer became an icon both for <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/bayern">Bayern Munich</a></strong> and the German national team. ‘Der Kaiser’ won the <strong>World Cup both as a player and a coach</strong>, as well as two Ballon d’Ors, among many other honors.</p>

<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi">Lionel Messi</a></strong> and <strong>Cristiano Ronaldo</strong> are two of the greatest soccer players of all time. There is no doubt about that. That’s why, choosing one over the other becomes subjective, and in many cases, a matter of age. </p>



<p>A man who is 50-years old will probably go with <strong>Diego Armando Maradona</strong> considering his peak came at the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/world-cup">1986 World Cup</a></strong> in Mexico and someone elder could pick <strong>Pele</strong> or even <strong>Alfredo Di Stefano</strong>. </p>



<p>Beyond personal preferences, those three legends should be definitely in the debate alongside Messi and <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cristiano-ronaldo">Cristiano Ronaldo</a></strong> who are the referents of a totally new generation.</p>



<p>To try to settle the debate, <strong>Artificial Intelligence</strong> can be an alternative to determine who is the best player in history. In this case, there are no emotions involved, just numbers.</p>

<h2>Who is the greatest soccer player of all time according to Artificial Intelligence?</h2>



<p>The question was pretty concrete for <strong>ChatGPT</strong>. <em>“Who are the five best soccer players of all time?”</em> In a shocking turn of events, <strong>Pele</strong> took first place, <strong>Diego Armando Maradona</strong> was second and <strong>Lionel Messi</strong> finished third. The Top 5 was completed by <strong>Cristiano Ronaldo</strong> and <strong>Johan Cruyff</strong>.</p>


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230818#BUS#48618"></div>




<p>According to AI, the main tiebreaker in favor of <strong>Pele</strong> is that he won three <strong>World Cups</strong> with Brazil (1958, 1962, and 1970) and scored more than 1000 goals in his career.</p>


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230906#BUS#58330"></div>


<p>In the case of <strong>Diego Armando Maradona</strong>, it was his legendary performance in the 1<strong>986 World Cup</strong>, where he led Argentina to victory and scored the famous ‘Goal of the Century’ in a match against <strong>England</strong> during the quarterfinals at Estadio Azteca.</p>



<p>Though <strong>Lionel Messi</strong> and <strong>Cristiano Ronaldo</strong> seemed like a lock in the Top 5, <strong>Johan Cruyff</strong> is definitely the well deserved ‘dark horse’. AI considered Cruyff as the fifth best player of all time not only because of the titles he won, but also thanks to his influence on the game beyond the field. Even without a World Cup title, Johan made it.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20231224_BUS_94177_lionelmessi-5-1024x576_8f1942b1.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Lionel Messi" class="wp-image-64144" srcset="https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/09/lionelmessi-5-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/09/lionelmessi-5-300x169.jpg 300w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/09/lionelmessi-5-768x432.jpg 768w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/09/lionelmessi-5-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/09/lionelmessi-5.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Lionel Messi is the third best player of all time according to IA (Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>



<h2>Notable absences in the ranking</h2>



<p>Well, even for AI this was a massive question to answer. Though the players in the <strong>Top 5</strong> have great arguments to make the list, these are some remarkable names who didn’t make the cut.</p>



<p><strong>Alfredo Di Stefano</strong>, Ronaldo, <strong>Franz Beckenbauer</strong>, Zinedine Zidane, Lev Yashin, Juan Alberto Schiaffino or <strong>Ferenc Puskas</strong>. Of course, there are many other players with pretty solid accolades to break the Top 5.</p>

<p><strong>Santos FC</strong>, one of the most famous clubs in <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/brazil">Brazil</a></strong> and the world, will refrain from using the number 10 jersey of its greatest idol, <strong>Pele</strong>, while competing in the second division of the Brazilian Championship. </p>



<p>Last Wednesday, in a shocking turn of events, they were relegated for the first time in their 111-year history. The decision of not using 10 was announced by <strong>Marcelo Teixeira</strong> after being elected as the new president of the team.</p>



<p><em>“In the Campeonato Paulista, we can play normally with the number 10 jersey, but in the Brazilian Championship, until we return to the top tier, a level worthy of Pele, we will not play with the number 10 jersey.”</em></p>



<p>Teixeira was elected to help <strong>Santos FC</strong> navigate through the greatest crisis in its history and, according to his words, the second division is not befitting of the number 10 immortalized by <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pele">Pele</a></strong>.</p>

<h2>Who will wear number 10 with Santos FC?</h2>



<p>The number 10 jersey was being worn by Venezuelan star, <strong>Yeferson Soteldo</strong>, one of the few players who has been forgiven by fans amid the club’s humiliating relegation. However, Teixeira won’t change his decision remembering Pele. </p>







<p><em>“In his memory and in his honor, as this year is dedicated to tributes to Pele after his death, we will continue with that mission. Until we return to the top division, Santos FC will not use the most glorious jersey in its history, the number 10.”</em></p>


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20221229#CMS#0019"></div>


<h2>When was the first time Santos FC were relegated in Brazil?</h2>



<p>Last Wednesday, <strong>Santos FC</strong> suffered their first ever relegation in the Brasileirao after losing the final home match 2-1 against <strong>Fortaleza</strong>. The defeat led to disturbances among their fans and the burning of vehicles around the stadium.</p>



<p>With the disappointment of its first relegation in history, Santos’ supporters stormed the field, but the police force managed to contain the crowd. However, the violence extended to the surroundings of Vila Belmiro Stadium and enraged fans vandalized some commercial establishments. Additionally, at least two buses and several private cars were set on fire.</p>


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20221229#CMS#0022"></div>


<h2>Which Brazilian teams have never been relegated?</h2>



<p><strong>Santos FC</strong> were part of a very exclusive group of clubs which have never been relegated in the Brazilian league. Now the list is only of two teams: <strong>Flamengo</strong> and Sao Paulo. </p>



<p><strong>Cuiaba</strong> could also be considered, but they just joined the top tier in 2021. In the last seven years, many giants of <strong>Brazil</strong> have fallen to relegation for the first time in their glorious history: Internacional, <strong>Cruzeiro</strong> and Santos FC.</p>

<p>A few weeks ago, <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/neymar" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Neymar</a></strong>&nbsp;made official his exit from&nbsp;<strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/psg" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">PSG</a></strong>&nbsp;to join<strong> Al Hilal</strong>. The player had been one of the biggest topics in the transfer market window in Europe.</p>



<p>It was the end of an era alongside his great friend <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Lionel Messi</a></strong>. Both were supposed to be a dominant force with <strong>Kylian Mbappe</strong> to win the <strong>Champions League</strong>. That didn’t happen. </p>


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230818#BUS#48618"></div>


<p>Now, <strong>Neymar</strong> has given up the chance to win more prestigious trophies by going to <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/saudi-arabia">Saudi Arabia</a></strong>. However, there’s one pending task for him with <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/brazil">Brazil</a></strong>. Win the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/world-cup">World Cup</a></strong>. </p>



<h2>Neymar becomes the all-time top scorer of Brazil</h2>



<p><strong>Neymar</strong> seems to be a totally different player when he goes to the national team of <strong>Brazil</strong>. In the first game of the <strong>2026 World Cup</strong> qualifiers, the star was sensational scoring twice in a 5-1 victory over <strong>Bolivia</strong>.</p>







<p>It was a historic night as <strong>Neymar</strong> became the greatest scorer in Brazil’s history with 79 goals surpassing <strong>Pele</strong>. It was a feat not achieved by other legends such as <strong>Ronaldo</strong>, Romario or Zico. </p>



<p><em>“I’m very happy. I never imagined I would break that record. But I don’t want to say I’m better than Pele just because I’ve surpassed him in this record. I just want to write my name in the history of the Brazilian national team. Thanks to my family, who is far away, and my teammates.”</em></p>



<p>The top scorer received a plaque from the president of the Brazilian Football Confederation, <strong>Ednaldo Rodrigues</strong>, as the top scorer of the Canarinha in matches against other national teams. </p>


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230906#BUS#58330"></div>


<p>This last point is crucial as <strong>Pele</strong> had 77 goals during his brilliant career, but 95 overall considering the matches <strong>Brazil</strong> played against clubs at the international level. In the case of Neymar, there’s just one thing left: the <strong>2026 World Cup</strong>.</p>

<p>In 2023, artificial intelligence is exploding, and <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/How-much-will-PSG-make-for-playing-against-Riyadh-All-Star-XI-20230117-0032.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ChatGPT</a> </strong>is one of the most popular AI tools out there. Some supporters have taken this information and used it to settle a long-standing argument over soccer.</p>
<p>For numerous years, sports enthusiasts have passionately fought over the topic of <strong><em>“who arethe greatest players of all time?” </em></strong>by throwing about various names. It’s a hypothetical inquiry with no objectively correct response.</p>
<p>Fans are almost unanimous in their belief that just a few great players, notably<strong> <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/Lionel-Messi-and-Cristiano-Ronaldo-share-emotional-thoughts-on-the-passing-of-Pele-20221229-0028.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pele</a>, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/qatar2022/All-the-World-Cup-records-Lionel-Messi-snatched-from-Pele-Maradona-and-others-at-Qatar-2022-20221222-0031.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Diego Maradona</a>, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/offside/25-star-athletes-and-their-incredibly-luxurious-cars-20200505-0001.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lionel Messi</a>,</strong> and<strong> <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/Ballon-dOr-winner-to-blame-for-Cristiano-Ronaldos-failed-romantic-comeback-to-Real-Madrid-20230331-0010.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cristiano Ronaldo</a>,</strong> deserve to even be considered for this list. With the use of artificial intelligence (AI), the sports website <em>Score 90</em> invited ChatGPT to recommend their finest XI of all time, and the results have since gone viral online.</p>
<h2>Which is soccer’sbest XI of all timeaccording toChatGPT?</h2>
<p>The legendary <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/How-former-Juves-star-Gianluigi-Buffon-lost-11-million-The-biggest-mistake-of-my-life-20230322-0010.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Gianluigi Buffon</strong></a><b></b>of Italy has been selected to start in goaldespite being 45 years old and playing for Parma in Serie B. <strong>Cafu</strong>, the Brazilian captain who led his team to the 2002 World Cup, plays right defender.Central defenders <strong>Franco Baresi</strong> of Italy and <strong>Franz Beckenbauer</strong> of Germany, both legends in their own right, are in thecenter of defense.</p>
<p>Left back for the squad is Milan’s great<strong> Paolo Maldini.</strong>Meanwhile, Real Madrid legend<strong> <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/La-Liga-Three-possible-replacements-if-Carlo-Ancelotti-were-to-leave-Real-Madrid-in-summer-20230210-0013.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Zinedine Zidane</a></strong>is located in the middle of the pitch among legends like <strong>Johan Cruyff</strong> and <strong>Diego Maradona</strong>.The late, great <strong>Pele</strong>is upfront, attacking with today’s all-stars Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.<span></span></p>
<p>It’s worth noting that several prominent players, such as <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/qatar-2022-the-29-top-scorers-in-the-fifa-world-cup-history-20220312-0001.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ronaldo Nazario</a>,<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/Totally-childish-idiot-Gerard-Pique-blasted-by-former-Spain-national-team-teammate-20230218-0024.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Iker Casillas</a>, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/PSG-star-Neymar-loses-1m-on-online-casino-on-Twitch-and-has-absolutely-Oscar-worthy-response-20230330-0008.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Neymar</a>, Roberto Carlos, Alfredo Di Stefano, Lev Yashin, Daniel Passarella,</strong> and many more, are glaringly absent from this list.</p>

Thousands of Santos and Brazilian soccer supporters also were allowed inside the stadium to pay their respects to the three-time world champion.</p>
<p>One person who was expected to make the wake but did not was joint leading <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/Pele-could-have-tied-Lionel-Messi-for-most-Ballon-dOr-20221230-0010.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Brazilian national team</a> scorer Neymar. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/Before-Pele-10-was-just-a-number-Neymar-to-the-Brazilian-legend-in-an-emotional-farewell-20221229-0024.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Neymar</a> remained in Paris to train with PSG, but said news was not well received by the Brazilian media. One of the key points made by the press was that Neymar once asked PSG to let him enjoy Carnival in Rio de Janeiro but could not get permission to attend Pelé’s wake.</p>
<p>Neymar andPelé shared a similar career path, both players would rise to fame at Santos, and both won the Copa Libertadores. <strong>Pelé had anointed Neymar as one of the best players to come from Brazilian soccer in a long time.</strong></p>
<h2>Why didn’t Neymar go to Pelé’s wake?</h2>
<p><strong>PSG did not want their players, especially those who missed training due to the World Cup, to miss any more training sessions.</strong> Still Brasil Urgente presenter Jose Luiz Datena, stated that he felt Neymar could have done more to attend such a milestone event.</p>

<p>Eventually France Football allowed the Ballon d’Or to be open to all nationalities and George Weah became the first non-European to win the Ballon d’Or in 1995. Eventually Lionel Messi would capture seven, followed by Cristiano Ronaldo with five.</p>
