France forward, Ousmane Dembele, has named Argentina captain Lionel Messi as the best player he has ever seen in his career.
Dembele also identified Real Madrid legend Zinedine Zidane as the manager he wants to coach the French national team.
The Ballon d’Or winner stated this during an interview with Marca ahead of France’s World Cup opener against Senegal on Tuesday.
“Lionel Messi is the best player I have ever seen,” Dembele said.
“He’s 38, but he’s still fantastic, dangerous… his quality never gets old. We have to be all very careful, Leo can still win the World Cup.”
He added, “Zinedine Zidane is a legend, he’s a reference. I hope one day he becomes the new France head coach.
“He won three Champions League titles in a row; he could do an incredible job with the national team.”
