The opposition aren't closing him down, but this is because they have other assignments and Koeman is a 'defender'.This is from 1992, but it still happens today when a centre-back roams forward - they can often reach the opposition area before being challenged.— James Nalton (@JDNalton) April 1, 2020 Ronald Koeman assisting himself when playing for Barcelona against Trabzonspor. pic.twitter.com/U21mM7PmIY— Mark O'Haire (@MarkOHaire) March 31, 2020
Koeman's goalscoring stats are off the charts for a defensive-minded player.. granted, he was a designated penalty + freekick taker.. still, 26 goals one season for PSV, double digits 13/17 seasons as an active player - and every season as a Barca player. 239 total goals in 685 appearances, it's a rate many strikers would have been proud of...Koeman was one of my favorite players growing up. Probably one of the most solid penalty kick takers.... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ronald_Koeman
Finale Coupe de France 1983 PSG v Nantes, José Touré (3:50 to 5:00) : Finale Coppa Artemio Franchi France v Uruguay, José Touré (since 0:37) : Nantes v PSG 1994-95, Pedros & Loko : JPP, France v Belgique '92 : ZZ, France v Norway : And the winner is... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l5dwZhEgEwA Platini Pescara
My favourite segment of this goal always has and always will be the 4 man dribble of clodoaldo I think italy at this point had been resigned to defeat They'd just come against a superior football style To bring this point to home and emphasise on that superiority clodoaldo destroyed their midfield so effortlessly I cannot count how many times as a child and younger man i had replayed this segment The rest of the goal including the no look pass of Pele and finish of Carlos alberto was good But what makes this uniquely impressive and arguably the best of its type (ie team goal)is clodoaldo and no one else
29:20 to 32:30 is a nice selection (that makes inevitably think of other ones btw... the one made by Loko-Pedros is shown earlier during the show) + Caldéraro at 22:10, also 23:49 where he screams to Thuram who is in his first full season to make a back-pass as if he was the gk... "own-assist", goal éhéhé... 25:32 with PSG on a cross by Weah. Amara Simba has other scissor-kicks to his collection too.
I can imagine Matt li tissier scoring something like this not Michel platini Great goal and super player
In the category 'the wrong goal is remembered'. He is 'world famous' for the two England goals, but this is just a better one (as captain this entire match), in a half-competitive match against another elite team. Always peculiar how some goals are forever remembered and better goals forgotten (not that this was a great player, just a technically and creatively very good one).
On further reflection and working under the commonly held assumption that Serie A was a very difficult league to score in I think prime Michel Platini was one of the greatest goalscorers of all time Michel platini 83/84 scored 17 open play goals in Serie A from an attacking midfield position That is directly in line ,marginally better or considerably better as what careca,van basten,Rudi voller,Serena,Paulo Rossi,virdis recorded in their best ever seasons in the 80s and early 90s All of whom are strikers and the furthest outfield players Maradona who peaked with 9 non penalty goals in 84/85 87/88 89/90 Really does not compare And the gap at European cup/Uefa cup level becomes considerably higher There is no way to conclusively prove this but I think Platini at his best meaning his VERY best would even challenge euesbio for scoring records in the Portuguese league Hector yazalde 73/74 (really a average player )recorded a higher goals tally than euesbio ever did in the Portuguese division He went to the French division in 75/76 and was outscored by a 21 year old Michel platini Michel platini in that league would possibly look like prime sandor kocsis with GOAT passing abilities Michel platinis stats in that era are impressive by themselves But could've been considerably better I think if he played in other divisions
Agreed that he was a very efficient shooter and scorer (with what we know, shooting accuracy and such) but at the same time it went at the detriment of the strikers. Rossi for example (who scored a lot more without Platini), also Boniek. The team was set up in a particular way.
Paulo Rossi never exceeded 17 non penalty Serie A goals and 77/78 was a bit of an outlier for him anyways In 78/79 he had 13 non penalty league goals In 79/90 Its 10 In 83/84 Its 12 non penalty goals Every other season is below 10 https://www.transfermarkt.com/paolo...116757/plus/0?saison_id=ges&wettbewerb_id=IT1 I don't need to tell you how scoring was Rossi's primary function and pretty much only function If you're saying Platini for juventus was more of a forward than playmaker then of course that changes entirely the complexion of the argument From the footage I've seen platini seemed to operate from deep much deeper of course than any of those strikers listed previously 17 non penalty goals in a single Serie A season was the elite standard back then 78-92 Only few players exceeded this Serena with 19 in 88/89 Careca with 18 in 89/90 To put this into perspective Capocannoniere Roberto pruzzo 80/81 required 7 penalties just to score 18 league goals which was enough to be top scorer Maradona was scoring at the rate expected of a elite midfielder Prime Platini was scoring at the rate expected of the best ever strikers Serie A produced over a near 14 year period This tends to get lost in the small print when comparisons are made
https://www.squawka.com/en/wolfsburgs-2008-09-bundesliga-winners-best-players-manager/?amp Some say this is the greatest goal in the history of the bundesliga (since 1963) The Brazilian scored 28 open play goals+7 assists in 25 bundesliga games in 2008/09 This is for Wolfsburg not a superteam by any stretch of definition Surely this was one of the all time great bundesliga seasons in recent memory
Team goal: Can’t wait for football to return just to see Van Dijk make everything look so easy and effortless. pic.twitter.com/QJsnYTGsJZ— Samuel (@SamueILFC) June 7, 2020
