Friendly reminder: football is more advanced today than it ever was. So...

They struggled to function back then. Of course they’d continue to struggle today.

>he was coming at the middle of the pitch to pick up ball, play a playmaker and score goals
Same thing Ronnie was famous for, as well as Messi now. My style of football, it is pure domination. But it requires class, with dribbling and stuff. Which is why we rarely see this nowadays. In 2000s we had dozens of players like this. Now it's all come to just running fast.

but are the yt highlights better?

some of these players were playing eight or six years ago and they were decent despite their age. i don't know who started this meme.

True, Luis Figo only retired in 2010and was good with Inter as an old man

he was talking about prime Ronaldinho, so it's only fair we compare him with prime Ronaldo

yeah now it's just Ngubus chasing the ball, no more players like Recoba or Riquelme

yes

Zoomers in denial that football is the worst it's been in decades and the current crop of players are mostly average or shit

Recoba was lazy as fuck but class nonetheless, nowadays I have to watch fucking Candreva

based.

now just watch out for the nostalgia niggers

user.... 2010 was almost a decade ago...

truthpilled

tfw Messi has ALL of their attributes combined and people still compare him to anyone else.

Fuck nostalgia niggers

>inb4 zoomer
FUCK NO

>Jew starts to spam the thread shilling Messi

>1 player out of thousands
Retarded proxyfag

Ronaldo was faster and Zidane had better vision, but that could be because Messi is a manlet so he can't see the pitch as well as Zinechad

>believing this
This team now would win 4 CLs and 4 leagues in 4 years

no not only Messi all the other top players are worldies.
if Neymar was at that time he would've dominated balon d'or.
he has similar Ronaldinho skills great scoring numbers and much more consistent that a lot of the early 2000s greats.

being in Messi&Ronaldo era has shadowed a lot of great talents like Hazard who is a better dribbler than 99% of the players on that time.

debruyne is a maniac playmaker Mpabbe is going to be if not already better than Henry.

the list goes on and on but the early 2000s players still has their nostalgia factor and the fact that they didn't have to compete with Messi&Ronaldo.

maybe if those oldies had played in this crazy attacking minded tactics and adding the improvements that happened to trainings maybe they would be better than they were but still they aren't better than current era players.

Mark my words just like you are nostalgic to those you might find in 10-15 years from now some zoomer idolizing a shit player like Rashford

>faster
who gives a shit
>zidane
>better vision

zidane is the most overrated player of all time Messi's vision put him to shame.

go suck some tsu cock

>mbappe is going to be if not already better than henry

Nepalese Gurkhas are some of the most lethal fighters in the world today so you're probably right

>Zidane better vision than Messi

I agree
>there were so many great players 15 years ago
>for example see how strong Milan was omg
Milan and Inter were crushed by time if anything but they're not a lot worse in quality as it is portrayed. Also todays Arsenal would dismantle Henry's Arsenal.

Based. The current crop of 22-29 year olds are shit for the most part, with very few exceptions.

>he most overrated player of all time
That's Messi

It would, football has moved on, tactics have changed a lot, old arsenal could still get wins from individual moments of brilliance, but wouldn’t be the dominant team they were in that era

And pic related won't make it to current Arsenal first 11? Kek

>They'd see a Jet
They'd hear it coming from miles away and run for cover thinking god was about to split the skies and drop a divine turd on them.

Yea Forums talks shit about americans talking soccer all the time and accepts retarded threads like this just because it's by a british flag.
pathetic

Messibabies have never even seen peak R9. There's no better player than him. Messi has longevity and consistency, but no player has been able to compare to R9 at Barca/Inter

niggers might be phisically fast but trve football is played with a fast mind
those fat fucks all had fast minds (maybe not becks)

reminder that modern defenders are fucking shit

Reminder that these guys only one 1 CL and 2 League Titles over 6 years lol

>Beckham looked out of place
