1) master in creativity & vision 2) master in passing 3) master in ball retention 4) very good in free kick 5) very good in corner kick 6) very good in penalty kick 7) very consistent in above ability 8) not so consistent in scoring, but always score high class goals
for me, his best performance in 1 tournament: 2007 Libertadores Cup (almost single handily won it for boca, many great goals include 1) 1 corner kick goal vs velez 2) 3 goals from total 5 in the final
for me, his 2nd best performance in 1 tournament: 2007 Copa America (better than other argentinians include messi & co)
being a top assister in 2006 world cup yet no one or just a few mention his name (his first chance & the only chance he got to play in wc) almost brought argentina to semi vs italy until being subbed vs germany, very unlucky very underated in 2006 World Cup
I agree Riquleme in his best was a close complete AM/playmaker very similar to Maradona at WC and Napoli. It's juts a bit unfortunate that his PEAK was a bit short - 05-08
his goals in 2012 libertadores cup almost won the cup with average team mate, play great even though was already 34 y.o.
when he was 23 y.o., 2001 Intercontinental Cup vs BayernMunich (for me, bayern marking him like hell that should be 4 or 5 incidents that deserve red card)
when he was 22 y.o., 2000 Intercontinental Cup vs Real Madrid (gave a nightmare to the combination of makelele (many regard as one of the best dm) + helguera + geremi)
when he was 27 y.o., 2005-06 Champions League Semi Final vs Inter Milan (at villarreal) (toying with almost every inter player he faced)
when he was 27 y.o., 2005-06 la liga vs barca (at villarreal) (when ronaldinho, samuel eto, larsson still around + xavi)
when he was 34 y.o., 2012 Libertadores Cup Round 16 vs Unión Española (at boca juniors): ] his ball control in the same match but not shown in above video:
when he was 32 y.o., 2010 World Cup Qualifying vs Chile (at chile) (very good performance by him with 2 superb free kick goals after did not play for several months - had a conflict with pellegrini (villarreal coach)
