Best players you've seen

[Cruyff14]

There was nothing R9 couldn't do. Perfect forward, if he didn't blow his knee twice who knows what the numbers would be.....

Kid had it all. Was the best player in the world.... as a teeanger. His numbers at PSV and Inter are ridiculous for someone that age. And to come back and completely transform himself the way he did at Madrid after the recos is nothing short of amazing.

Yep I was in Brazil

All the best players ive seen live are Liverpool players. So Gerrard, Suarez, Torres (when in his pomp) Xabi, Mascherano, Hyypia, Carragher.

On Ronaldinho, the frustrating thing for me about him is that he was only great for such a short amount of time. Then just became s**t at like 27. Weird.

Ronaldinho at his best was better than Messi and CR7 IMO

He rock'n rolled all night and partied every day once he won everything he could win

Quite a beer gut he sported at one stage

Had the absolute pleasure of watching Ronaldinho play against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge back in 2006. Absolutely phenomenal player. Messi & Ronaldo may have better numbers but Ronaldinho is the most exciting and naturally gifted footballer I have ever seen. He had an uncanny knack of making even the best players in the world look stupid, then he'd stop, shimmy, and do it all again just for the fun of it.

Absolutely agree with this. Would watch Ronaldinho before I'd watch Messi or Ronaldo. There was something special with what he could do, he was just mesmerizing.

 

[Cruyff14]

The stats imply Messi and Ronaldo are better players (in fairness, with their numbers, it cannot be argued), but Ronaldinho was an amazing footballer for those two or three years he was at the summit of world football. His turn of pace was frightening, in the clip below, you can see how fast he was in a split second. Absolutely unbelievable acceleration. His technique is among the best I've seen (Zidane also up there, maybe at the top, or on par, I don't know), and the way he could manipulate a football was something of true beauty.

The whip he'd get on it too was ridiculous. Enjoy this, lads.

The best goal I've ever seen was his one at Stamford Bridge.

 

[Cruyff14]

That was ridiculous, in every aspect.

 

[chef]

Ridiculous was an understatement

 

[Cruyff14]

Carvalho is totally bamboozled.

So close to being an Arsenal player too

Could you imagine if he joined in 2001

I agree except for the part where he'd do things for the fun of it. He was the first player with ridiculous skill I remember putting it to effective use. He was very direct.

The best goal I've seen live at a stadium was dat Kewell volley vs Spurs.



And this




Struggling to split them

 

[Cruyff14]

Out of curiosity, where/how do people rate Zidane?

 

[typeclub]

I thought he was a God before I saw Ronaldinho. If he didn't headbutt Materazzi and ruin his teams chances of winning the World Cup he'd probably be my favorite.

 

[Cruyff14]

Doesn't tarnish my opinion of him. I remember turning on the TV as a 14 year old before school the morning of the CL Final and the first thing I saw was Zidane's volley. Insane thing to see.

He is probably the smartest player that I've seen. Saw stuff before anyone else did.

 

[Cooldude]

Very few players dictated a game at their pace like Zidane did, the guy just drifts everywhere doing this and that and being brilliant, absolute artist

And he's the best technical player I've seen, even better than Bergkamp, his touch is perfect, his dribbling perfect, not a thing he can't do

 

[Cruyff14]

Think a lot of people will like this



Playing it with Bittersweet Symphony is the perfect match.

 

[Shoei]

People talk about players like Bergkamp', Xavi, Pirlo, Cesc etc

Combine them all into one player and you'll come close to Zidane.

 

[Cruyff14]

The touch at 1.19 is ridiculous lol

 

[Cooldude]

Everytime he does that Marseille turn someone in the crowd cums

 

[Shoei]

"Why do you want to sign Zidane when we have Tim Sherwood"

 

[Cruyff14]

Everytime he does that Marseille turn someone in the crowd cums

He makes it look so effortless too. Don't think I've seen a smarter player.

 

[Cooldude]

Who does the Marseille turn even nowadays? Or ever? Aside from Laudrup

If a normal player does it once and bamboozles someone it'd be on a youtube highlight being bragged about forever. That guy does it like a few times a game like it's breakfast

He defies logic and the laws of physics

He was like the Mozart of football
