Mickael2:



so Alba is a barca legend too? Or maybe Mascherano?

soetanoreoluwa:


Injury prone... Only if you know how I love this guy called Joel Obi... Hmmm but Na this injury be problem... I was invited last year I guess but injury still stop him...


Just like Owen Hargreaves... Plastic legs everywhere!

Joebie:
dude.. A holding defensive midfielder don't need speed.. That's the role he played at Chelsea. I don't know where you are heading with your sarcasm. Okocha was not very fast. Yes he did have that sudden burst going forward sometimes.

TheGoodJoe:


Kroos was not shield. He played the role in some games but that was not his regular role. If I am correct, Kroos even played in front of Alonso. Ha.

Mickael2:



Okocha is fast as simple as that. Is it thesame Okocha? Maybe you need to watch his highlights for Bolton again, if you see the speed he uses to hit teams on the counter you will not say what you just said. Maybe you can only recall his last years as a footballer, there is no shame in that, the human brain can be funny sometimes

TheGoodJoe:


Stop acting as if you can not comprehend a very simple and well laid out reason why Mikel is a Legend.

Multiple tourneys but Domestic and European. Longevity at a high level. Then making a major impact domestically.

And yes, Mascherano is a Legend.

Do you want me to break it down for you?

Mickael2:



that year the midfield was mainly Kroos-Modric-James with Kroos as the Dmf/shield totally for a whole season, I don't know why you are saying sometimes.

Meanwhile even the season he played as a shield he was still nominated, your point is?

Joebie:
lol show respect my brother. Na POP legs. It will come harder

TheGoodJoe:


Look at the person who is talking highlights. I watched Okocha regularly 90 minutes. Watched some of his best games without highlights. Okocha is not a pacy player.

Okocha relies on tricks to get past players. Not speed.

TheGoodJoe:


Comprehend. Longevity. He was not a regular shield for a long period. Even in that season he was not 100% a shield. Mikel was. For a decade. The point is too simple.

kellycute:
The more you keep talking about the legendary Mikel, haters be like

Mickael2:



please break it down for me

Chrismario:

Bro keep giving your facts but you may not use the word *haters*

TheGoodJoe:


Mascherano was brilliant at Liverpool and a brilliant shield during a nice time and when they clinched the Champions League.

Moved to Barcelona, and despite in an unfamiliar role, reigned in another trophy filled time.

For Argentina was a Regular for them in when they reached the Copa America finals. Then had a brilliant World Cup performance, being one of their best players and reaching the final.

Mascherano, Legend Certified.

Mickael2:



Mikel wasn't so famous at Chelsea so Legend? No

Mickael2:



so the nomination part nko? Don't forget Busquets oo, I am waiting for your excuse

Danycrusoe:


Wasn't "FAMOUS"??!!!!!!

Does "Famous " now v a different meaning which I don't know. why do u guys like antagonising him?

OK I think it's high time u people stopped this Mikel argument. the guy x a chelsea legend so nobody's opinion cam change that. I mean comparing Yaya at barca to Mikel at Chelsea. remove Man City era from Yaya's career and the rest is average. but unless u remove chelsea era from Mikel's career u can't render him average cyz he still has the AFCON & the FIFA recognition. 2nd behind Messi no b beans abeg.

if he were white u guys disputing him wouldn't be doing that, referring him to people like Pinto?? that useless goalkeeper. he was long at barca coz they really had no need for a 2nd goalkeeper during that period values had little to do as number 1.

TheGoodJoe:


As I said, Mikel’s style is not flamboyant and gets overlooked. You do not see him running and panting like a tiger on the filled and he gets overlooked. But, to the team, he was reliable and key to their trophy reign.

He must not get nominated before his pivotal role deserve respect. Even though he did not get the nomination, his longevity in the role certifies him. Especially with the team winning loads of trophy.

Simple. Gerrit?

Mickael2:
What is the difference between pacy and fast? Pacy is more of like a player who relies on his speed but a fast player is a player who has the speed although he may not use it unless the situation calls for it. Okocha was fast but he relies more on skills

Gerrit?

Mickael2:



Yaya Toure also has an Afcon and he was very very good at Barcelona too, maybe you should check the stats

Danycrusoe:


sir. I'm fully aware of that. but there is a difference, a big difference. sheb Gervihno too has an AFCON medal does that put the 3 of them on the same level or status?

Mickael2:



he is a legend but not a barcelona legend

gerrit?

Joebie:
Sir go and watch his videos again. you can focus on the counter situations.

Mickael2:



if I can prove that he isn't then I will win

Mickael2:



so he is a legend who was never even nominated for the FIFA XI never mind getting into the team? Ok

Mickael2:

Legend with a big letter L.

Mikel x synonymous to Chelsea many know him for his exploits in both the GWG jersey and the Blue shirt

TheGoodJoe:


Mascherano has been in Barcelona for about Seven years and won this:


Barcelona
La Liga: 2010–11, 2012–13, 2014–15, 2015–16
Copa del Rey: 2011–12, 2014–15, 2015–16, 2016–17
Supercopa de España: 2011, 2013, 2016
UEFA Champions League: 2010–11, 2014–15
UEFA Super Cup: 2011, 2015
FIFA Club World Cup: 2011, 2015

And you want us to believe he is not a Legend at Barcelona. Fear God.

Danycrusoe:


Excuse me are there just 11 world class player playing every year? there are many exceptional players who miss out of the FIFA 11 and dat doesn't devalue their talents and qualities most of the times the trophy winning teams like BARCA and Madrid dominates the fifa 11 and say bayern but that doesn't mean legends don't exist in other parts of Europe and elsewhere. if u use ur logic then people like Giggs isn't a legend cuz he never played a major international tourney abi? remember unknown players from Saudi and Honduras players do make the World cup.
