hensben: bro you have a very low football knowledge no offence, chelsea just rise to stardom and you expect them to win ucl just like that...you think say ucl na moi moi Coming from you, I take absolute no offence whatsoever. Your footy knowledge is limited to the English league and even at that i don't even think you know much about the league anyways Del Bosque won it twice in 3 seasons. So did Pep Ancelotti has won it three times now. So why use Fergie as the yardstick. |

Katsumoto: Well technically anybody can play anywhere... We've all seen Luiz play in Midfield, Bale play Upfront, Yaya Toure play in defence, and Terry in Goal. However, the roles in contention today are the box-to-box and anchor man positions. Both positions are in central midfield, both have defensive duties, and both are passive roles by default in relation to ball posession. Like I said, the only difference between a B2B and Anchor Man is the license to go forward and join attacks. The B2B is not the main creative force of the team, and he is not required to be the chief orchestrator of attacking moves. The only major thing the B2B does different to the anchorman is arrive late in the box for cutbacks and crosses...A la Ramsey and Yaya Toure. Are you saying that an Anchor man does not have the ability to run to the edge of the box and kick or head the ball in the direction of the goal post? Linking this argument back to your earlier ludicrous assertion that Makalele was a limited footballer, Are you saying the man you saw in Ibime's video could not run into the box and score a header/tap in? Katsumoto....You need Jesus. 1 Like |

Nihilist: That there is the crux of the debate - why was Makelele unable to that when he played for Madrid and Chelsea? Your position, based on what you are stating, is that Makelele didn't do it because he was given instructions. I posit that Makelele didn't do it in the tougher leagues because he was limited. Paul Ince wasn't even a box-to-box DMF but he scored many goals for united; why couldn't Makelele do that? Ditto for Hamann at Newcastle and Liverpool. And yes, I do have Jesus. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 2 Likes |

After seeing the video, they claimed it was in an easier league. Forgetting the same Makelele led his team to UCL semifinal. Abeg tell me how a team from soft league reached UCL semifinal. The 90s was not like today where you have major disparity in quality of league. Whilst Manure failed to go anywhere in UCL until 1999, teams like Monaco, Marseille and Nantes were dominating in UCL. regularly reaching semifinals and winning it in Marseille case. So shebi French league na backwater league, if so what would we call EPL? 2 Likes |

Katsumoto: For the same reason why Carrick doesnt do it at Manyoo, Busquets doesnt do it at Barca, and Arterta doesnt do it at Arsenal. Tactical Discipline. These are players that can read the game to make the all important interceptions, the technical skills and vision to launch either defence-splitting 45 yard pass or simple 3 yard pass, the football intelligence to know exactly what to do at the right time, and the discipline to play to the manager's instructions. All the players listed above play in the Makelele role, which one of them is technically limited? |
Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by coogar: 6:33pm On Sep 07, 2014 |
Katsumoto: i disagree with you.... makelele didn't do it not because the little man was limited. he wanted to be a destroyer & since the other prima donnas in the galactico never bothered to track back, makelele threw down the gauntlet & became a one man wrecking crew giving the opposition nightmare. claude makelele “It’s the ultimate honour to have it (The Makelele Role) named after me, I suppose it shows that I have achieved everything I have worked for, I really learnt how to play that role at Real Madrid where, if we were losing 1-0, we would say ‘Right, lock up shop’. The four at the back and the one in front of them – me – would concentrate only on defence and let the others go and do what they had to up front. They would take the risks, I would take care of the opposition’s attacks. In every team you need to know what your role is and one of the keys to my role is to keep the balance of the team right. So when Didier [Drogba] goes here, I do this. When Frank [Lampard] goes there, I go there. Same with Michael [Ballack]. When one person moves out of position, then someone else comes in and covers for them. When you play in my position you have to enjoy it. You can’t be thinking: 'I don’t get any goals’. You just enjoy it, you enjoy playing football, tackling, giving the ball. Just enjoy it. When you are small you have to tackle at the right moment. He might be tall, he might be strong but if you tackle at the right moment you’ll win it. It’s about timing.” -------- -------- makelele has the ability to do anything required, he just wanted to be a football assassin at the back & help the team win. 2 Likes |

AirborneLacer: Your answer below To know how good a player is, you shouldn’t look to his rating. It only shows, generally, how popular he is, allowing you to compare him with the others. The overall rating is NOT an average or an reflection of the all attributes. It isn’t derived from the actual technical, mental and physical attributes. It represents the players’ reputation. EA Sports assigned the ratings to the players according to the league that they play, the club, the performances and the role they have in their teams. www.fifauteam.com/fifa-14-ultimate-team-players-guide/ |

Katsumoto: This is a bit misleading. In the era Makelele was in Nantes the French League was better than the EPL. In 1993 Marseille won the champions league In 1994 Monaco got to the semi final In 1995 PSG got to the semi final In 1996 Nantes got to the semi final In fact i believe 1997 was the first year an English team did better than a French team in the champions league and that was the year Makelele left France for Spain. France had 1 winner and 3 semifinalists in 4 years, England had 2 2nd round and 2 group stage exits in the same 4 years. The Serie A,La Liga and Ligue 1 were top dog in those years 1 Like |

Katsumoto: Thís is why you are a pseudo intellectual aka Google analyst. We watch thís shít and you run to Google. In the 1990s, Makelele was playing in French league, one of the two or three best leagues in Europe as evidenced by their teams always making semifinal or final, whilst Blackburn and Manure were almost always knocked out in first round. Thís Google analyst would soon tell us Portuguese league is one of the best based on what Benfica did in the 60s. We the football heads were watching footie, he was busy reading Okeke physics, then he'll come 18 years later to argue based on what he researched on Wikipedia. I brought up Nantes to show that Maka is not limited, he is simply a specialist like Busquets. I did not need to show his attacking play for at Nantes anyone with an iota of footie intelligence to know he is technically excellent. Football watchers already know he is a playmaker par excellence. Thís Katsumoto is just a maga who doesn't know jack about footie. We see how his favourite player Gerrard always shows his limited technique when he plays in Maka position. You would either see Gerrard dashing the ball to opposition strikers or failing to control simple bàlls and dashing bàlls to Demba Ba, Henry, Drogba, Zidane and co. when asked to do simple things that Maka does in his sleep.

Ibime: Really anyone who was truly watching football in the early 90s won't have brought up that table Katz brought up. My excuse for him is that he was trying to mislead those who don't know better. The French league between 1990 and 1996 was better than the EPL.....Monaco,PSG,Marseille,Nantes,Bordeuax were going to finals and semi finals in Europe.At that time only the Serie A was clearly better than Ligue 1 |

afrodoc2: How is it misleading? Has France won more than 1 ECL? Was Makelele in the team that won the only French ÈCL title? The debate wasnt about which league was stronger in the 90s or 80s or 70s. I stated the the french league is 2ns tier and i was being kind. Its more like 3rd tier. 1 Like |

Katsumoto: It is misleading cos when Makelele was making all those runs in Nantes it was arguably the 2nd toughest league in Europe, so do not make it seem like he was playing against "otu oshi" players then. I was just on the side line enjoying the debate anyway and i am not surprised that the NL tendency to twist the facts to win arguments has shown its face. 1 Like |
Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by afrodoc2: 8:28pm On Sep 07, 2014 |
The quality of the league between 1991 and 1997 was in question i.e the period Makelele was dribbling all those players and making those runs. A fair comparison would be to compare the results of French and English teams in Europe in that time frame NOT lifting all time records that stretch from when Makelele was not born to when Makelele had retired. How does the present quality of the French League tell us more about the quality of players Makelele was beating in the video ? |
