"Zinedine Zidane is the best
player of the past 10 years. Figo, Raul, Beckham, Ronaldo or Kaka are very good
players, but Zidane has been the more consistent," the 64-year-old told
reporters on Tuesday.
He added his compatriot Ronaldinho, who was instrumental in helping Barcelona
clinch their 17th Spanish league title, was "the most brilliant player" of the
moment.
Pele, who was born Edson Arantes do Nascimento and dominated international
soccer for two decades, was on the French Riviera to present "Pele Forever", a
Brazilian documentary on his life made by Anibal Massaini Neto and shown in the
festival's open-air forum "Cinema on the Beach".
