Marjoribanks:Cannavaro won ballon d'or as a defender, I don't even know if a any defender can make top 10 today talkless of top 5. Maybe Rudiger can make top 15 3 Likes 2 Shares |

Napoleon55: They will be marked out. Football today is highly complex. I like these guys passionately but the fact is that the physicality in today's game is very high. These guys were not even soundly fit. Except Rivaldo. |

Napoleon55: I don't even see Canavaro as a brilliant player. He just defended. Today we see defenders doing far more. Defending, moving more in build up plays, excelling in short and long passes. Going to midfield and dribbling. Playing comfortably on a high line. I don't see Canavaro a better footballer than even John Stones. |

Napoleon55: I said they will. Why do you think Ronaldinho was first kicked out of Barcelona by Pep Guardiola? He was not going to work with the system or against it. You can't waste time with ball. That is what the space and time theory is all about. |

TheGoodJoe:So because he wasn't going to work with the system means he is lesser than those who could abi Ronaldinho et al aren't fit or physically strong? I no de surprised 4 Likes |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by TheGoodJoe(m): 6:49pm On Jul 07 |
Napoleon55: My point is simple. Canavaro just defended. There was little flair to his game. Today, we have defenders that are good on dribbling, passing and moving. They still defend tight and recover to cover gaps. |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by Napoleon55(m): 6:49pm On Jul 07 |
TheGoodJoe:When Ronaldinho were succeeding with the other coaches, where was Guardiola? If Pep had issue with Ronaldinho, that was his problem, not whether Ronaldinho is capable of working with any system or not. If Messi were not emerging as an exceptional player,do u think he would have been kicked out like that by Pep? 5 Likes |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by TheGoodJoe(m): 6:53pm On Jul 07 |
Odunayaw: Don't miss my point. I am not saying Ronaldinho won't be good. He will be a bright talent. But, won't operate on that stellar level as he did in the past. The space will limit that. |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by TheGoodJoe(m): 6:56pm On Jul 07 |
Napoleon55: When Ronaldinho was succeeding, it was before the changes we are seeing today. The philosophy Guardiola brought required intensity of the ball, and quick thinking with the ball. Getting the ball moving. Ronaldinho was not built for that. Finally, Messi was a perfect fit for the system of Pep. He was built for it and there was no way he would have been kicked out. Finito. |

TheGoodJoe:oga eeeh, u talk as if u started watching football late 2000s How dare you compare a whole Canavaro to John Stones? U no even compare canavaro to the likes of vidic, terry or even ramos na John Stone? U must be pep’s love-vendor or hole 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 1 Like |

TheGoodJoe: No, the players are already burdened by large number of matches and numerous injuries and you want to increase their running distance, No no, I was thinking the other day why not make it 80 mins instead of 90 if these players are going to play 1-3 games for a 7 month stretch |
Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2025 And 2026 World Cup by charlesemeka85(m): 7:03pm On Jul 07 |
TheGoodJoe:I believe this. Even the likes of Zizou, Dinho, Aimar, Riquelme,Baggio etc would hv suffered greatly if they played in this era |

TheGoodJoe:I was implying that he kicked out Ronaldinho out because he saw an alternative with an emerging talent in Messi, not that is not possible for Ronaldinho to work with his system successfully 1 Like |

Odunayaw: It did not fly over my head. It is one of the reasons I posted it. The demand for tactical strictness today makes it difficult for players with flair to easily shine. |

Napoleon55: That would be true if they played the same position. Ronaldinho played with Messi under Rijkaard. So it was not a case of emerging talent. Tactically it was not going to fly. Ronaldinho's style of play would not have fit into the kind of possessive control Pep aimed for. |

Kane, Watkins, Halaand, Guirasy, Martinez etc are scoring 20 to 30+ goals in a defensive solid generation! Is this a joke? lol TheGoodJoe: 2 Likes |
