You are right but i still think Ibra is more technical and skillfull while Falcao is more clinical. But i really don`t rate Ibra the way i rated him when he was in Ajax, i might be wrong but something just didn`t happen.
Oh Batistuta was incredible. Preferred Baggio and Ronaldo if I'm honest, but he was a legendary striker.
Forlan reminded me of Batistuta. Whenever he had the ball on the edge of the box you knew he was gonna score, hit the target, or at least go close. One of the best strikers in the last ten years Forlan.
I guess it all because a matter of preference once players reach a certain level.
I don`t know why the ancient players always seem to have that edge, kinda like raw talent . I just can`t think of a reason why we are not producing that kind of players. Can you think of Cantona in the current Man U or Lothar Matheau in Bayern. Someone can easily name 10-15 players that still can`t be replaced. Before there was raw talent after raw talent being discovered. Money has a good side and bad but still it is not just the money.
Yeah I've always thought that. Other than Spain, there doesn't seem to be the same talent being produced.
Perhaps it's due to football being more physically demanding and more tactical. So a lot of the exceptionally talented players just won't being to cut it due to fitness.
Lots of people love the 1000mph football that is played now, especially in the prem. And I must admit I'm a sucker for a rapid counter attack. But I think a slower pace is better due to the fact more skillfull players get the chance to show their worth.
I also think people now watch more the big games and nobody cares about the youth or grass root level games. Last summer me and my brother went back home and went to all the youth games and lowest league games. The games where almost empty, so there are not as much excitement. Few Man U, Arsenal, Chelsea fans etc will not tell you the full youth under18 and 21 squad.
