Guest firetotheworks Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 He was brilliant I would say 80% of the time. He was sn artist with the ball without being showy. He was efficient but extremely graceful. I wouldn't have him as high as Messi and the real Ronaldo at their best, but he'd walk into the team of best players I've seen in my lifetime. FWIW Buffon Alves Nesta Baresi Maldini Zidane Xavi Ronaldinho (even if it wasn't for that long) Messi Ronaldo Ronaldo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hatem garrincha Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 The best player I've seen after Diego Maradona. 1- Diego 2- Zidane 3- Ronaldo (Fat) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 If all the players are going to be uncontroversial foreign flair types i am going to create my own spin off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AY Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 For me, the best player ever. Maradona would be but never really saw him play. When someone says football is a beautiful game ZZ is one of the reasons. Such technique, such flair and all great players need a bit of personality. That`s one reason why Messi for me isnt the greatest ever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

David28 Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Oliver Kahn would be my choice for a goalkeeper in a team like that btw. Buffon's a great goalkeeper, been consistent for years since not getting injurey anymore like in the early stages of his career, but Kahn was the absolute best goalkeeper ever imo.

Guest Dontooner Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Definitely one of the better players of the previous generation of players. I liked how he affected the game on all areas of the pitch as other greats were usually effective in the final third. He has always had a sense of controlling the tempo of the game, which imo is the highest level where intelligence can positively affect a sport. He is like a manager on the field some times, though there are definitely more passionate,flared and naturally gifted players then him. However, i have yet to see someone that has use intelligence to impact the game on his level. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Great on his day and a real man for the big occasion. The only problem was that he wasn't consistent, especially at club level and tended to not bother to perform in the lesser games. Truly beautiful to watch though which is why he probably gets rated as highly as he does. Even though he played further forward somebody like Robert Baggio could control a game like Zidane could but he was also far more consistent and effective.

Beren Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Might tinker with the format a little bit - as everyone seems to be very highly rated so far Whoever a poster wants to nominate to be next, has to nominate them because they feel they are either over or underrated by reference to another player who (by consensus) is generally regarded as better/worse. For example, if I wanted to nominate Shola I'd say: I nominate Shola because he is underrated, and is actually much better than Shearer. Might encourage better discussion than everyone agreeing the nominated person is great Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
