It is historical fact. Even the Link dropped by Blueelf would elucidate you more. I just viewed it after replying you. Lol


You mean because they had a leg breaker in the field Pele and Maradona were better footballers?

Talking of leg breaks Shaw cross, De Jong, Pepe have had their fair share

Yeah Adli has been getting the hypes for a while now. He is really good. But watch out for that lad that had the highest assists at the U-17 WC too. Aouchiche I think. Very gifted with beautiful vision and technique.

Like I already said... The likes of Shawcross, De Jong and all are Choir boys compared to the die hard walled defenders of the 60s, 70s and the 80s. Go research on the meanness of the Serie A back in the 60s, 70s and 80s and you will understand better. Pele faced those guys. So did Maradona. Absolutely mean and die hard compared to the more technical defenders you find today in Serie A and in world football.

Yes indeed. Adli is indeed special. Just a matter of time before he truly explodes. The french got this wickedly deep quality pool that won't run dry for a long time.

Let me also add that Adli wan resemble Rabiot small. Lol... Tall, Lanky, and gets forward very well.

Oga, dont cry more than the bereaved....it reeks of pretence and holier than thou. These claims and insults you make about those attacking a well known bigot and proven Nigeria players antagonist is very careless and ignorant and you dont set moral rules here , my friend.
Dont barge in here and call people "weaklings" and "cowards." There are proper and more civilized way to caution people. Practice what you preach because you have just broken your own rules. That ffool deserve every and anything that is hurled at him...I dont even know why he is here.





Bro don't twist my words. What I wrote is 'smacks of weakness and cowardice' and somehow it passed through your mind and comes out as 'call people "weaklings" and "cowards".

I do what I feel is right, especially ,when I have no intention to disrespect any danm person. Did you read any insult in that post like mujtahid's ? No. I don't want a situation where somebody feels like they can reprimand people here like we are in high school....these are grown men.
You want to talk about elderly manners ? Do you know how many times that man has made various disparaging remarks about our young players and many people ignored him while he continued without any regard for us...spewing senseless,unreasonable and flat out deception.

For some time many here had relegated his nuisance to the trash can but recent turn of events in the form of our players had echoed back the many ways that man had written these players off and condemned to the abyss of eternal failure....that man is a very bad business for us here as fans and pundits. He brings a very negative energy here that is filled with hate , biases, bigotry , disloyalty , deception , manipulation ,mockery and degradation.
He brings absolutely nothing good to this gathering. That man is a terrible creature!

As for Mujtahid...he will be fine.
Haba bro, I only made an appeal and not that I'm setting an inviolable moral code or acting as a moral police.
I'm laughing because you do not realise that you are the Nigerian komekn while komekn is like a low key British Omanbala? Shey you know after komekn you are the most attacked moniker here. it used to be forgive.ness but not anymore.

Pele was playing when the world was learning the rudiments of football (akin to one eyed man in the land of the blind)

Modern football is much more complex and goals are much harder to score, for Messi and Cristiano to reign in such difficult circumstances and for such a long time makes them far better than Pele

One goal scored in modern football is equals to 3 goals scored in Pele's era
Modern football is tactically demanding but physically the kind of rough play Pele and down to Maradona endured, many players in this age are bubbles. Football is almost becoming a no contact sport.

Your last sentence is true in reverse.

Certitude:

lot of protections. I was of the view that modern football was more difficult until someone brought these things to my notice. You want to compare the pitches. small bumps, modern footballers will be complaining. I once read that player began to get referees' protection due to injuries sustained from some kinda tackles... Messi and Ronaldo would be too unavailable due to injuries to gather these stats if it was that era.
Like Truidstar said old football had a lot of rugby tackles which the players of today are protected from. Football is almost becoming a no contact sports.

Read about Andoni Goikoetxea Olaskoaga popularly known as the 'butcher of bilbao'

On 24 September 1983, Goikoetxea achieved notoriety for a foul on Diego Maradona described as "one of the most brutal fouls ever delivered in the history of Spanish football"[4] in a league match at the Camp Nou, taking out the Argentine from behind and breaking his ankle.[4] Maradona compared the sound he heard to that of wood breaking[5] and, in the aftermath, English journalist Edward Owen coined the phrase "Butcher of Bilbao" to describe Goikotxea,[4][5] a nickname which remained attached him for the rest of his career.

Guy , I disagree with the notion that I am the most attacked moniker here, after borough Southgate. You could say the most misunderstood but I am not controversial. Nigerian kome-gini ? If you say I am anything like that guy then you are being disingenuous. I am not deceptive, bias , manipulative nor hateful. You may accuse me of high handedness but I dont operate on ulterior motive.
I am a pan Africanist and you are comparing me to a disloyal , dishonest and a disgraceful element who dances naked in the market place without bating an eyelid.

Oga, I know you want to take shots at me for somethings I probably said in the past that rubbed you the wrong way but do it in a clean way....comparing me to that walking contradiction of a man without integrity is very disrespectful. There are no basis for comparisons here...he believe English players and their league is the best and want to replace Super Eagles players with borough boys while I am a staunch supporter of our local league and want us to develop and draw players from there. I don't like our players wandering Europe looking for peanuts,neither do I want any Nigerian born to play in England. So , where are the commonalities in our ideologies ?

Just as we rate the difficulty of the game in the past era of the game due to tackles and protection, the pace and intensity of the current game will prove difficult to the players of the past.

I have heard old heads say it that they would not be able to cope with the pace of the game today. That is why we have players on mean diets. Even Messi today finds it difficult to ghost past players. You find it hard seeing tricks coming off due to the Zonal presses going on.

I still feel the modern game is far hard due to its pace and intensity.

I have no doubt that the current Manchester City team or Liverpool will trouble the Santos team of Pele, efen whoop them, clearly because of the intensity.
The difficulty in the modern game is in terms of mental stamina, tactical approach and the infusion of science.
But in terms of physicality (not pace but rough rugged play) and abundance of skills old football trumps trumps modern football.

I think it's not ideal comparing footballers across generations, the metric for comparison are always different example is Pele/Maradona played when few non-Europeans played in Europe, number of participants in a world cup were 24 or less. Even rules of the game were very different. I can bet in about 30/40yrs from now we will have another great player and people who didn't watch Messi/CR7 will say the same thing they are saying about Pele and Maradona
