Sancho believes Nani is a better dribbler than Jay Jay Okocha.
Sky Sports, featuring Nigerian legend Jay Jay Okocha, asked Jadon Sancho to choose the most skillful dribblers in the world.
Angry fans have taken to social media to express their outrage after Jadon Sancho, currently on loan at Chelsea, chose Portuguese star Nani over Nigerian legend Jay Jay Okocha as the best dribbler in a recent segment on Sky Sports.
The segment titled "Winner Stays On with Jadon Sancho" featured the Chelsea winger selecting from a list of some of the Premier League's most skilled dribblers, including Eden Hazard and Thierry Henry.
The former England coach believes Jay Jay Okocha could have played for Premier League giants like Manchester United and Arsenal
On-loan Manchester United winger Sancho has found great form at Chelsea compared to his time at Manchester United.
In the video, posted on Instagram, Sancho initially picked himself over players like Allan Saint-Maximin and Yannick Bolasie. However, his decision to select Nani over Okocha sparked a wave of criticism from football fans.
Many expressed disbelief that Sancho would consider Nani, who played for Manchester United and is known for his skills, to be superior to Okocha, who is widely regarded as one of the greatest dribblers and players in football history.
Comments flooded in, with fans stating remarks such as "2% ball knowledge 😂 Nani over Jay Jay?" and "Nani better than Okocha is a joke."
Others highlighted Okocha's legendary status, with one fan noting, "Even Ronaldinho bows to Jay Jay," emphasising the Nigerian's impact on the game.
Jay Jay Okocha's career was marked by his mesmerising dribbling skills during his time at clubs like Bolton Wanderers and Paris Saint-Germain.
He is celebrated for his ability to entertain fans with his flair and creativity on the pitch. In contrast, Sancho, 24, has faced challenges at Manchester United since his transfer from Borussia Dortmund in 2021 but has recently found form with Chelsea, contributing two goals and four assists this season in the Premier League.
This incident shows the passionate nature of football fandom and the deep respect held for players like Okocha, whose legacy continues to resonate with fans around the world.
