There have been too many superstars in the century-long history of football, but few can truly become the king in their own era. In the ancient times, Li Huitang, Meacha, Mathews, Leonidas and Schiafino are really amazing. We can only look at the records, and it was only in the 1950s that some video records gradually emerged. Didi, Copa, all the top players, and it just so happens that all four of them have played for Real Madrid as team-mates, and toady matches say Stefano is the best of the era, so the closest thing to the golden Arrow is Puskas. It’s hard to know who is good from a purely technical point of view, because there are so few matches left. Stefano won eight league titles, five Champions League titles and scored in every final, all of which cemented his status, but Puskas, who was in his 30s when he moved to Real Madrid, had been playing in Hungary, and of course won a lot of honours, including being the top scorer several times.
In 52, he led Hungary to win the Olympic football champion. The gold content of the Olympic men’s football team in that era was still good. However, he had a big regret. The other four groups were second and half, so it was very difficult for Hungary to reach the final, and it proved that it was not easy to beat Uruguay and Brazil, the runners-up in the last round, 4-2, extra-time against Uruguay, and to reach the final thanks to the excellent play of Kirkishi, and Puskas missed these two games because of injury, while the other German teams got through easily, A depleted Hungary, despite Ferenc Puskas’s return from injury, was still beaten by West Germany. Assuming Hungary won the title, Puskas would be in a much higher position than Stefano, although I think he would have to play in two tough matches against Brazil and Uruguay to win the title convincingly. The best player of the era would have been more likely to admire Puskas, a World Cup, captain of the leading man, the number one player and the best player of the year with the weight of his club achievements to put him above any player of the era, so would anyone argue Puskas’s individual skills were better than Stefano’s? Because the ancients are remembered more for glory, and to get enough glory as a number one player, all kinds of praise will follow from around the world, and the assessment of Stefano would be to say that his skill should not be as good as Puskas’s excellent player, and Puskas would be at the top of the list of two superstars.
Of course, although the above conditions are left foot king is the upper hand, then Stefano also have to make an assumption, his life’s biggest regret is also in the World Cup, 50 years was his best chance, Argentina was very strong at that time, the team had several River players such as Moreno are top players, would have been the favorite to win the title, Stefano’s 24 years old is also a good age. Unfortunately, Argentina was close to Fascists because of World War II, so many countries rejected them, and Argentina refused to participate in the competition, which made Stefano lose his best chance. Moreover, it was said that Stefano was not eligible to participate in the competition because he had played for two countries. By 58, 62, he was already a Spanish national, but still did not play in the World Cup, this can be said to be his lifetime regret, had he won a World Cup, before Pele named the first generation of the World Cup, Maradona said he regretted not born early, because he lost the chance to watch Stefano’s game. But for his skills as Platini said the impression of the golden arrow is very blurred lens, he exactly has what the elder generation of the oral, but anyway in 50 years Stefano is widely regarded as the best player, 60 years won the last time the Champions League, ending the Real Madrid dynasty.
In the 1960s, Pele, Eusebio, Garrincha, Rivillino, Tostdown, Pepe, Coutinho, Charlton, Denis Law, Rivera and other excellent players emerged. We could see that there were a lot of Brazilian players. At that time, Brazilian talent was booming, and Eusebio should be the most skilled European players. He was only two years younger than Pele. Both of them were black. They had played against each other in the World Cup and the Intercontinental Cup, and the goal rate was similar. He was the biggest winner of two titles in 1998 and 62, and was once expected to overtake Pele in popularity, but the genius returned to the club after the 62 title, drinking wine every day, did not play for the club for the next few years, quickly fell away, and finally the club could not stand to throw him out. Pele has been more stable throughout his career, Garrincha’s later life has been wild, and he has been drinking all day, which has seriously affected his professional standard. In terms of their World Cup performances in 58-66, 58 was also responsible, Garrincha’s performance in 62 was one of the rare individual performances in history, while Pele’s performance in 66 was not so good. Of course, there were also reasons for injury. Although 70 was a little taller than 62 Garrincha, Pele surpassed Garrincha in terms of status as a member of the third Championship and became the king of the game. Pele was better than Garrincha at the club level. Garrincha is mainly on the right wing to break down and send assists, Pele is mainly active in the central area, dribbling and passing Garrincha better, Pele, who is better at heading and playing against the body, is also a super scorer, and Santos’ Pepe and Coutinho have no data or any videos to refer to, it’s a shame we don’t know what their skills are, Trident’s two goals are high, In Santos won two Copa Libertadores, two Intercontinental Cup, of course, the goal is not the only criteria, secondly, the late Tostom dribbling skills is good, but later because of eye problems retired early, and there is a Rivillino, exceptional exceptional level, invented the bull tail, watched all the games of Brazil 70 World Cup, Of course, it can be said that 70 Pele is not the best, but for the four World Cups that he participated in, 70 is the most complete and the best. If 58-66 is the best period, but it is basically a collection, we cannot verify it, which is similar to Stefano. There are not many videos left, and everyone who has played for a lifetime can take a good shot in every game and make a highlight reel. So the whole game is the best reference. If Pele didn’t win the World Cup in the 1970s, it’s hard to say who would have been the best player in the 1960s. Garrincha is so well recognized in Brazil that a stadium is named after him. Although some of Pele’s teammates feel lucky for his success, most of his contemporaries recognize him. At least I think he is better than Eusebio, so he must be in the top ranks. Pele was generally recognized as the best in the 60s.
In the 1970s, video materials began to become clear, and football entered a new era, which was also the World Cup era. We can regard the 1970s as the beginning of modern football, with the influence of color, great progress in the technical and tactical level of the teams, and gradual improvement in the defensive system. The most representative team is the Dutch team. He set off the Orange storm by playing total defense, leading man Cruyff, other excellent players include Beckenbauer, Muller, Rensenbrinck, Neskens, Latto, Kelvin Keegan, George Best and a group of excellent players, so the representative players are three, Cruyff, Beckenbauer, Best, Muller is a super shooter, Beckenbauer is a free defender with magnificent footwork. He beat the Netherlands team led by Klausen in the final of 74. In that year, he won the World Cup, the Champions League and the league is a Grand Slam. Best may be better at dribbling than Cruyff, but Cruyff is better at controlling, dribbling, passing, shooting and organizing. Best became famous in 1968, won the Champions League and the gold goal in that year, which means he was earlier than Cruyff, but later he was too drunk to go to training. Sacked by Manchester United, 74 years later this genius is also a rapid decline, many clubs, failed to win any accolades, is also a regrettable one. After Cruyff ’74, he still had a chance in’ 78 but for various reasons he didn’t attend. This superstar also failed to become the king of the World Cup because of the lack of the World Cup. He won three gold MEDALS, three Champions League, one World Cup runner-up and was the best player.
The 00s have Rivaldo, Figo, Shevchenko, Raul, Kaka, Ronaldinho, Zidane, and the beginning of 2008 has entered the era of Mero, in the early stage of these stars is no doubt Ronaldinho in 2004-05 reached the peak of the two years, show the talent can be said to be no worse than Ronaldo, can get applause in the home of Real Madrid, also shows his strength at that time, Lampard, Gerrard and Eto ‘o were just his foil in the two Footballer of the Year awards in 2005. At that time, he was called the successor of the king of the World and the winner of the World Cup in 02 was not the first, so everyone expected him to become the king in the golden year of the World Cup in 2006. But Ronaldinho, who had been brilliant in the previous two years, was not good enough in the World Cup in 2006. He failed to score a single goal, losing to the French team led by Zidane, then 34 years old, and also fell rapidly in the rest of his football career, failing to qualify for the 10th World Cup. Unfortunately, this genius was unable to pull himself out of the crowd and wasted his talent. Although he won a grand slam, he still failed to meet expectations, leaving only a very brief peak moment in world football. Zidane started his brilliant period after winning the 1998 2000 two major competitions, and a celestial genius won the European Cup in 2002, and France was not expected at that time, Zidane has been 34 years old, announced his retirement after the World Cup, but did not expect that Zidou is also old and strong, this tournament performance, led France to the final runner-up, At the same time won the best player, but also have a regret, almost won the second cup, and is the identity of the first, also can be regarded as the king of the ball.
Since 2008, the football world has entered the era of Mero for more than ten years. Whether the era of stars has withered or he two are too good, we will not comment on it. The outstanding players of this era include Xavi, Iniesta, Neymar, Suarez, Modric, Robben, etc. From the technical point of view, Messi is undoubtedly the best of this era. He won the European Cup and the European Cup for three consecutive years. However, in terms of overall technology, he is not as good as Messi. Messi more shows the beauty of football, outstanding talent, exquisite footwork, ball control, ball passing and shooting can be said to be proficient in everything. He was also regarded as the successor to the World Cup king, but he almost won the second place in the 2014 World Cup. However, Messi still had his shortcomings, lacking in leadership and mental quality in key moments. The best player in the 2014 World Cup was the most controversial in history, he failed to score in the knockout matches of the World Cup. It’s amazing that the two of them have not scored a single goal in the knockout stage of the World Cup. The club’s achievements are of historical level. They lost to Chile in the final of the Copa America in 2015 and 2016, and it’s lucky that they won the Copa America in 21. In the contest of the two pride has been ahead of a body position, two people era is coming to an end, 22 World Cup is their last competition, is also the final contest.
It remains to be seen who will be on top of the world in the next decade, whether it is Mbappe or Haaland, or which star will step up and dominate for a while.
