yes yes you are very right, I am from another generation, but if we take it chronologically it is the great Pele and after it is ... God forgive him the same I will say the greatest player Maradona to be a light countryAll these world - class players and each one of them contributed to the development of football in their own way. Choosing someone separately will not be right in relation to others.
It's hard and not really fair to compare players from different times. Football has changed so much. Football is harder now. Back in the days,when you received the ball,you had time control the ball,have a cup of coffee before passing it to a team mate. Now you need to play faster because you have straight away 2 players from the other team pressing you.
Pele I did not see him playing, maradona ronaldinho messi cr7 are not a big deal in reality I have not seen a player who says wow is the best in the world, in the late 90s and early 2000s there were many high-level players like zidane figo totti henry ronaldo rivaldo etc but today the players do not have that level
yep toldo buffon beckham dennis bergkamp ruud van nistelrooyyup...i agree,,,
and as an ex alex ferguson fan...i would include the goalkeeper schmeichel, and paul scholes in the list...world class players...both very under rated.
