Throughout the history of the game, we have been blessed to have seen or at least hear of the great partnerships involving great players. These pairings can be defensive or offensive yet these pairings can be associated with greatness. Some of the most notable are Di Stefano and Puskas for Real Madrid and Pele and Garrincha for Brazil. What are some other great partnerships and more specifically, can anyone point out if Maradona actually had a great partnership with anyone? There could be his partnership with Careca at Napoli or his partnership with Caniggia for Argentina but they can't be compared with the pairings mentioned.
Maradona seemed to form a special friendship off the field with Caniggia. Mrs. Caniggia was not too happy when they kissed on the field. Pele and Garrincha always seemed to be linked up as they never lost a game when they played on the same field.
Zenden, you cant go far wrong with Platini-Tigana-Fernandez-Giresse or... Falcao-Socrates-Cerezo-Eder They dont make midfields like that any more. More the pity.
yep. They've won a CL in 2003, a Scudetto in 2004, a World Cup in 2006, and they are once again in the CL Final this year.
I always thought that Thierry Henry and Robert Pires had an uncanny understanding. With this sort of telepathy you'd have thought they'd been gestated in the same womb. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFYYbAG5JhE
The back four of Thuram---Desailly---Blanc--Lizarazu with Barthez in goal. Stats: 27 games for France, No Defeat, 23 Wins and 17 Clean sheets.
I still remember Batistuta saying that 90% of his goals were because of Rui Costa. hope to see Ronaldo-Quaresma in the future
Marseille always loved the association between a great dribbler and a goal hunter. It gave Andersson-Ben Barek in the 50's, Skoblar-Magnusson in 1971, then Jairzinho-Paulo Cesar, Waddle-Papin, and more recently Ribéry-Cissé.
These were the partnerships I've most enjoyed viewing... Signori-Casiraghi for Lazio Zamorano-Salas for Chile Vialli-Baggio-Ravanelli at Juve Giggs-Scholes-Keane-Beckham for ManUtd Baresi-Costacurta at Milan
