on Gerson ...Left foot ... well , i saw so many many interviews Of Gerson ... in the start of the him career .. He was left -fullback ....... defender like Ferenc Puskas ... between .. 1943-1946 . was also he tackles very very badly ...... himself ... says this on Gerson .. on the another hand : Ferenc Puskas tackles pretty good .. well .. Garrincha ; Vukas Eusebio .. so many many other players .. they humiliated younger Gerson in the full matches,, in general afterwards he went to midfield to play as a playmaker.. but honestly Luis Suarez Miramontes.. and Pedro Rocha.. Rivera for example were more players than Gerson in World Cup 1970 Gerson played in the Dream-Team

On PlayStation 40 years later Portugal did not even qualify for the 1970 World Cup There are also no indications Eusebio was even a world class player in 1969/70 He scored 20 goals in the Portuguese Primera division which is way way off his peak levels of goalscoring He scored 4 goals in the European cup (all against Kjøbenhavns Boldklub) And he finished 22nd place in the ballon dor(purely off reputation most likely) No South Americans were even eligible for the ballon dor at this point in history If they were it is conceivable he would’ve dropped out the rankings altogether If the World Cup is really your barometer for greatness then excluding Gerson (who was actually pivotal for Brazil 1970) is really a major oversight Pelé(Mr World Cup) knew he ********ed up when he did not include him but instead you are here just doubling down it’s really sad
hahaha ... you're so dramatic ..at all hahaha "! well ... Gerson ... good player at averages .. whole career .. in 1970 was in Dream-team ...
i did it one video ... Lamine Yamal 17 years old now vs Ronaldinho's the famous prime 2004-2006 ... the distance to favor Lamine Yamal is insane ... the quality to finishing
Of course one can well leave Socraes outside his top100 list, I recognize myself that he would be a sensible choice only if the list is based on some somewhat "general" meaning of "being the greatest", but dismissing him as a bohemian icon, belonging to pop culture much more than to the game, would be greatly inaccurate and misleading other than unfair. There are goals that Romario would be extremely proud of in the footage below, other than acts of midfielder technique that make media-darling overrated Zidane look slightly above average.
No one except Brazilians from the 1960s has ever seen Pelé play, except for watching a YouTube video. I've watched Messi regularly, and for me, there's no debate. Pelé was arguably the best of his era (I don't doubt it), but that football was in its infancy, and its players wouldn't be considered professionals today. I don't detract from his merit; that football was tougher and dirtier, but I've been searching for a very specific play and have had to watch many compilations of goals from the 1970s, and the defenses were a joke compared to today's. The physical preparation has nothing to do with today's, and even drug tests were practically nonexistent.
To be able to score a few goals that Romário would be proud of or to produce moments of technique that make Zidane look slightly above average is all well and good. But those are isolated moments. What made Romário and Zidane all time greats was not just their highlights it was the frequency and consistency with which they produced them especially in career defining matches. So the real question is do the reasons Zidane and Romário are considered all-time greats apply exactly to Sócrates? That’s the issue with YouTube compilations. Great players can all produce moments that resemble what the all time greats did. What they can’t do is repeat them regularly in low stakes matches and/or deliver them reliably in high pressure matches or career defining games. Now If you want to talk about real and meaningful highlights let’s talk Why was the main highlight of Sócrates’ career reaching a World Cup quarter-final? Why were Zidane’s highlights World Cup, Euro, and Champions League tournaments and many times finals where he regularly made decisive contributions? Why was Sócrates never named the best player in South America, while Zidane was named the best player in the world three times? Romário isn’t considered an all time great because the majority of his goals were extraordinary. None of the most prolific goalscorers in history built their reputations off highlight reel goals alone. Some scored more great goals than others, sometimes significantly more but in every single case the bulk of their goals were standard repeatable finishes. And finally, regarding the “bohemian icon” and “free thinker” labels. Those weren’t my mine mate That was FourFourTwo your own source. I simply screenshotted their own words If you’re going to reference them as evidence, you can’t ignore the parts that don’t help your argument.
Of course effevctiveness has tremendously improved, it is the case for every other human activity, why should football be the exception. But direct comparison of players from different ages of the sport is an hair above meaninglessness in my opinion. The whole game has changed, managers ask players to do different things, and consequently they are trained for enhancing a different set of skills. Perhaps even more important, environment has changed, you see nowadays balls rolling like on a billiard, while they used to bump like crazy still in the 80s (sometimes in the 90s). Players of the past used to wear boots that those of today would not use to do masonry works, and ball, once a stone, is now light and aerodynamically engineered. I remember a guy helding a TED conference who claimed technology has been even more decisive than improved training at bringing the spectacular amount of new WRs in track and field we have seen in the last two decades. Football could be the same. What one can do to be still able to practice the very entertaining art of all-time ranking is considering how much one player stood out in his own era, and classify players of different ages based on this. Thatis the reason why I personally value so much Brasil NT 82 and the brazilian "golden generation" (1975-85) in general: go fetch footages abd you'll see they looked like fresco painters among a bunch of house painters.
yes ... I agree with you on Zidane ... well, in 1995 I went to almost all of Santos FC's matches... in the 1995 Brazilian Championship... including that famous game against Fluminense 5 vs 2 to Santos FC .. at the same time ..here in Brazil ... There were various news about Zidane coming in Brazil ...1995-1996 ... Bordeaux season the last one will he reach .. Michel Platini ??? there were surveys at the time by Raí ..1..2...3 Italian and television channels of closed or paid channels in Brazil .. well, at the time ... nobody believed that Zinedine Zidane could surpass Platini .. he was called a black cat and a highly unlucky player in Finals .. ice cream .. making 5 goals ... 5 assists per season only But .. really later at Real Madrid and after World Cup Final 1998 . Zidane became a media darling product and hyped for his goal in the UEFA Champions League final .. he became idolized by the generation of Carlito 86! forward or onwards But for my generation Zidane was seen as being much worse than Dennis Bergkamp Fernando Redondo Edgar Davids Thuram Matthias Sammer Andy Moller Ronaldo Nazario Romario Del Piero Litmanen Weah Boban Savicevic Suker Alan Shearer Owen etc..etc.. maybe even worse than Clarence Seedorf ... well , but Zidane at reality ... was ...or became MVP Uefa Champions League .... ... Best player of the Tournament Euro-Cup 2000 ....Best player of the World Cup .... 2006 Golden Ball player from this competition .. ....best player of the Final..... Uefa -Super-Cup ... .... 2 x Mundiais Inter-Clubes ..... 1996 and 2002 .. really ... numbers of Goals ..and Assists .... is very very sad to know about that thing... but .. in Big Matches for less it ... happening ..some improvements .. in all whole career .. but ... comparing ...Zizou ... with Platini and Zico .. in Arsenal ..and tools ... Of finishing skills .. Zizou ..stays Below from them .. but i agree with you yes .. Zidane ... has the media Power ..by side Zidane .; and majority Of players .. 2000's ahead Has ...it .. are machine .. that generate billions of dollars .. so the media...tv ...press ...marketing ..etc ,, ..forgotten .. players like Puskas ..Gerd Muller ...Socrates ...Gullit .... Zagallo ...Zito ...Edu .. don't generates billion of dollars ... like Beckham ...does it ..
consistency and longevity the number one enemy of Brazilian players in general of course with rare exceptions over time. like Pelé ..Zito ...Zagallo .. Zico ..Gilmar dos Santos Neves ....Mauro Ramos ...Mauro Galvão .. ..Rogerio Ceni ...Casemiro ...etc ...etc..etc ...etc...etc..
well .... well ,, scientifically your theory is not proven... here...on Earth and also on Mars hahaha !!
