Hatem Ben Arfa (now retired?)


Recommended Posts

C.Ronaldo has produced countless breath taking moments throughout his career.

 

You're splitting hairs.

Shows how naïve he is though.  Yes, everyone would love football to be played beautifully but it's not and he should had realised he needed to develop an attitude where he is there for the team first and foremost.

 

Similar to what Fergie did with Rooney.

 

There's more than one way to play entertaining football, you can be a brilliant individual like Hatem, or you can play a great team game like Ajax in the 90's, but he's right about one thing, the way some teams play is about killing the game rather than entertaining. Can't really blame them, but Allardyce is just such a manager. What a cunt at the end of the day.

As odious as he is, Allardyce mostly does it to bypass the fact that his teams are almost invariably inferior in quality to the opposition. Mourinho tries to do it with Real Madrid, Chelsea and Manchester United.

Which is why it's gratifying that he's not winning trophies any more with his spoiler tactics. I won't ever blame anyone for putting results first, but football is an entertainment industry at the end of the day. Ben Arfa didn't help himself with his ball hogging at times, but if you could pick the type of player you want to watch if the game was played to entertain, then he'd be no 1 on your list.

Ronaldo pretty much revolutionised how you can take a freekick... or shot even.. that knuckle ball thing. I'm sure others did it before but he popularised it.

 

 

You sure about that? Thought Juninho Pernambucano was the one who popularised it.

Was a lot better at it as well.
