Footballing legend Ronaldo has made a U-turn on his claim that David Beckham was the only Englishman who could've played for the iconic Brazil team of the early 2000s.
The ex- Barcelona and Real Madrid striker also reckons that another England ace would've been worthy of starring for the Selecao - Michael Owen. His belief comes after Beckham recently revealed that upon leaving Manchester United for Madrid, Ronaldo paid him the ultimate compliment of the pair's era. Back then, Brazil boasted a star-studded side containing the likes of himself, Cafu, Roberto Carlos, Kaka, Ronaldinho and Rivaldo to name but a few greats who helped win the 2002 World Cup.
"I remember you turning around to me and saying that the Brazil squad believed that if there was any English player that could play in the Brazilian team it would be me," the United icon recalled. "But I never believed you! Because Brazilian players are the best players! You know that."
