Speaking on the latest edition of On the Touchline, on Wednesday, September 11, the veteran tactician opted to rain praises on the two stars, rather than say one’s better.
"I think they are lucky and unlucky to be in the same generation," he stressed, even as he was quick to add. "They are lucky because they can compete against each other.
"They look to each other in a positive way and get extra motivation. If there was only one of them, they would have ten Golden Boots."
Explaining further, the 56-year-old football tactician pointed out that having shared the hour of winning the Ballon d'Or five-time each between them, noting it is now more challenging for other players to keep pace with them.
