Recently, Walcott shared his views on the best players in each position on the soccer field in an interview with the British media. He specifically mentioned stars such as Lionel Messi, Robin van Persie, Cazorla and Cesc Fabregas, expressing his appreciation for their exceptional talent.
When it comes to his disking skills, Walcott has no hesitation in choosing Messi: "In my opinion, the best disker of all time is Messi. His footwork is unparalleled, the ball just sticks to his feet, and no matter how tight a defense he faces, he can break through as easily as a character in a video game."
And in the position of finisher (i.e. goal scorer), Walcott voted for Van Persie: "The best finisher is Van Persie, that left foot of his is like a magic wand, capable of creating unbelievable goals. Although Henry is also a great striker, this time I'm going for Van Persie, his shooting skills and goalscoring ability are truly amazing."
Talking about soccer IQ, Walcott mentioned Cazorla, who has been forgotten by some: "The one with the highest soccer IQ is Cazorla, he's someone I'll never forget. Although he may not be in the limelight as much as he used to be, his intelligence and performance on the pitch will always stay in my heart. If you talk to Junior (Cesc Fabregas) about him, they will remember all those games they played together and Cazorla will never be forgotten by Spanish soccer."
Finally, in the position of passer, Walcott chose Cesc Fabregas: "There are many best passers, but I would choose Cesc Fabregas. Every pass he makes looks so easy and natural, as if he knows the position and intentions of all the players on the pitch. His passes are not only accurate, but also creative and able to create countless attacking opportunities for his team."
