Bayern Munich legend Samuel Osei Kuffour has named Marc Overmars as his toughest opponent during his career.
Osei Kuffour became of the best defenders in the world and put up several fantastic performances for Bayern and Roma.
He faced off several world class players but he recalled that his match up with Overmars was particularly challenging.
“The best player that has given me a tough time is Marc Overmars,” he said on Saturday’s Joy Sports Link on Joy FM.
“In the 1995 Champions League first leg in Munich, I was told that I will play against [Nwankwo] Kanu.
"I was so glad that I was going to play against my friend but 30 minutes into the game, I was told that I was going to play a different position. I thought I was playing in defensive midfield and I was happy because I thought I would face Seedorf but they mentioned right back.”
I was surprised and they showed me videos of Overmars terrorizing right-backs. He gave me a tough time.”
He also praised Thierry Henry.
“The second person was Thierry Henry in Highbury. I was glad to play against the top players,” he said.
