I think he is even better than Messi as Messi doesn’t have as much footballing skill as Ronaldinho. “Ronaldinho’s tricks are great and his dribbling very neat. He seems to treat the ball so lightly and easily. I like his style of playing.” As for Myanmar footballers, he says his favourites are Soe Myat Min and Aung Kyaw Moe, centre forward and central midfielder respectively, who both played for Finance and Revenue.
