Juventus striker, Cristiano Ronaldo is not the greatest goalscorer of all time, Czech Football Association has said. The association recently revealed that football legend, since Josef Bican scored 821 times before be retired, the claim from the Portuguese is not valid.
According to the History and Statistics Committee of the Czech FA, after a long confusion and lots of research, Bican still holds the record for most goals ever, and that has not changed.
The committee added that Cristiano Ronaldo is not the best goalscorer in history yet, and he has to work more to break this record
A rep, Jaroslav Kolar said: “Josef Bican or Cristiano Ronaldo? Simple question but complicated answer. Mainly because from the whole amount of Bican’s goals you have to pick just the official ones, which is complicated.”
“Our History and Statistics Committee of the Czech FA started to deal with this problem.
“We based our research on statistics from prestigious international statistical websites that state 805 goals with notice that goals scored by Bican in 1952 in the Czech Second Division for Hradec Kralove are missing.
“We managed to find them – by the way, it’s 53 goals in 26 games – and we also double-checked every detail about Bican’s league, cup and international matches.”
“After that, we came out with the official number of Josef Bican’s scored goals. We can proclaim that Josef Bican scored 821 goals in official matches.
“It means that Cristiano Ronaldo is not the best goalscorer in history yet, and he has to work more to break this record.”
