---------------------
INTERVIEW: Kaka, Brazil
Q. Ronaldo as a striker?
A:
He's the best player I've played with in my career. So, I'm very grateful for his help, for the experience he gave me as
a player. In the World Cup 2002, where he won the Adidas Golden Boot, he was absolutely decisive.
INTERVIEW: Steven Gerrard, England
Q. Gary Lineker scored 6 goals in '86 what do you know of Lineker as a player and his playing style?
A: To me Gary Lineker is a legend I grew up watching him and I loved it when he was knocking the goals in '86 and '90
but yeah you've got to take your hat off to him because as I said you know scoring goals is the most difficult thing to
do in football and he had a very good instinct to be in the right place at the right time.
INTERVIEW: Daniele De Rossi, Italy
Q. On Schillaci, His playing style, what was he known for the thing he was remembered for?
A: Salvatore Schillaci was a player... of not such a big build, but was he Zinedine Zidane thinks you can't expect any
player to match Just Fontaine's 1958 tally of 13 goals at one World Cup tournament in the modern era. "One should
never compare different generations the fact that Just Fontaine scored 13 goals is crazy from today's perspective."
fast, like dynamite, and he was the toughest under goal line, he had a good kick, he was excellent at penalty area,
and on the last sixteen meters he was shrewd, fast, and most of the times he would score another goal.
INTERVIEW: Simeo, Portugal
Simoa on the Award
Q. adidas Golden Ball an important award So why is it important?
A: It is important for the player as a professional to be acknowledged and be awarded such an important prize in the
World Cup, people will never forget, the best player, the best scorer, they are important awards that any played would like to get.
INTERVIEW: Simeo, Portugal
Simoa on Eusabio
Q. Talking about Eusébio, he won the Golden Boot in 1966?
A: I was not even born in 66, but later I was able to spend time with Eusébio, he is a very important player, he is legend in Portugal, in Benfica. I played for Benfica and would speak to Eusébio daily. He was a fantastic player, he likes to talk and to communicate his ideas
INTERVIEW: Zinedine Zidane
Q. On Just Fontaine and Davor Suker
A: Actually having the adidas Golden Boot is very important because - even though one should never compare different
generations - the fact that Just Fontaine scored 13 goals is crazy from today's perspective. It is impossible to do that
and I think that since then the record is six goals. It was Suker who did that in 1998. So yes, what I am trying to say is that you should never compare generations but today football is completely different. It is a football that is much
faster, very tactic-oriented the players you are facing are very strong physically. It is so complicated because for me
the most difficult thing to do on a pitch is to score goals and it is getting more and more difficult still. You don't see
players scoring three or four goals in one game any more, especially in a World Cup.
INTERVIEW: Franz Beckenbauer, Germany
Gerd Muller was the most successful striker of his time. H emade a lot of records in the Bundesliga with 40 goals. He
was unstoppable. What he also showed during 1970 was that he was the absolute best striker and that is why he got
the declaration of best footballer to get the trophy of Golden Boot.
