Ronaldinho Best In World

Feb 17 2008 By Gavin Berry

EIDUR GUDJOHNSEN insists under-fire Barcelona team-mate Ronaldinho is the best player he has ever worked with.

The Icelandic ace got a first-hand glimpse of Ronaldo's skills as a kid at PSV Eindhoven then played with Frank Lampard and Didier Drogba at Chelsea.

He now shares a dressing-room with Argentinian wonderkid Lionel Messi but Gudjohnsen reckons none of these stars is as gifted as Ronaldinho.

And despite struggling for form and fitness this season Gudjohnsen insists the samba star is ready to roar back to life against Celtic on Wednesday.

He said: "I played with Ronaldo at PSV when he was 17. One time in training it was ridiculous - he got the ball and dribbled through everyone.

"Messi also has an unbelievable change of pace - he's electric. But technically Ronaldinho is more complete and his skill is ridiculous. He does things which seem impossible.

"Anyone could suffer at the hands of Ronaldinho soon. He will explode and that could mean against Celtic."
