A First for Football: Castrol Launches World's First Player Rankings System
Ronaldo Reveals the Inaugural Castrol Rankings... But Henry Beats Him to the Top Spot
Who is the greatest current footballer? It's
a question that always evokes passionate debate from football fans and
pundits around the globe. Now they can find the definitive answer to the
much-disputed question as Castrol global ambassador Cristiano Ronaldo today unveiled the inaugural Castrol Rankings, the
world's first truly objective football rankings system, based on the actual
performance of every football player across Europe's top five leagues.
While other football rankings are based on opinion, Castrol has applied the
same expertise they apply to the development of their oils to create the
Castrol Rankings -- using objective analysis and highly advanced technology
to measure every pass, every tackle and every single move of over 2000
players and games every year. It will, at last, draw a line under the
age-old debate about who are the best performing players.
The Castrol Rankings are updated on a rolling monthly basis so, from now
on, for the first time ever, football fans can regularly check whether Kaká
is really out-performing Gerrard, or whether Messi is proving more effective than Thierry Henry, by visiting www.castrolfootball.com. Fans can
also customise the Castrol Rankings by player nationality, position or
club, allowing them to compare the players or teams they support.
Speaking at today's launch, Ronaldo, placed third, vowed that he will close
the gap on Lionel Messi and leader Thierry Henry, after the
Barcelona forward took the top spot: "The Castrol Rankings is the ranking
that every player wants to top. If you can be number one on the Castrol
Rankings there can be no arguments, as it is based on fact, not opinion.
That's why I'm aiming for the number one spot -- to prove I'm the best!"
