>pick one skill
>train it until you completely own everyone else
As a kid I liked Zizou, Figo, Ronaldinho, Nedved and all of those great players of the era, but I wanted to be Juninho Pernambucano
2006 was such a great year for him
>>68729599
Bordeaux fan here, he made us suffer.
Literally king of France for a decade
>>68729966
Marseille, same.
>>68729599
Lyon had a better domination of Ligue 1 + european run than current PSG with all the arab money. MAD. The psg project is failling hard thank's to Laurent Blanc

>>68730046
>'And that's a free kick for Lyon'
As a kid, Alvaro Recoba was always one of my favourites. What a left foot he had.
Doesn't seem to be mentioned much these days.
>>68730145
"fuck"
Jay Jay Okocha
Henrik Larsson
Shunsuke Nakamura
Gaizka Mendieta
These two right here.
>>68730143
>The psg project is failling hard thank's to Laurent Blanc
Explain?
>>68730145
The first time I went to the Vélodrome was for a Marseille-Lyon and we got humiliated.
Mahdavikia
The only truly white argie in history
>>68730274
goat midfielder
>>68730262
Recoba got really fucked by injuries. One of those "What if" players.
>>68730274
he was great in no country for old men
CRIMNALLY UNDERRATED GOAT COKEHEAD THUG MANLET ALERT
fucking cried to death at 98 when they lost to Netherlands.my fav team ever
>>68730383
>what if
It really rustles my jim jams that were it not for exploding knees (courtesy of the dutch), there wouldn't be an comparisons between him and anyone else.
>>68730316
Everyone remembers Kaka as one of the GOATs, he is not mentioned anymore because his carreer since he was in Madrid has been shit.
Totti is always mentioned as a legend of Italian football
>>68730324
He is adding no value. Guys like Lucas Moura has regressed under him. Verratti and Pastore are always injured when it comes to CL because he makes them play against farmers and doesn't sub them even if they're winning 5-0. He is afraid of Ibra. He has mistreated Cavani to the point of making him lose all his confidence. Everytime he gets to the cl quarter finals he bottles it, this year because of 3-5-2, last year because before the match started he knew he would lost and he just decided not to fight barca and let them rape PSG. Because he benched Pastore for MemeTuidi. Because he has billions of petrodollars but signs meme players like Stambouli
Unai Emery is going to turn PSG into a beast
>>68730478
Though this isn't to say that R9 is any way a forgotten player
>>68730478
Yeah, Ronaldo is also one of those. Even as an old fattie with busted knees he still dominated the National league before retiring.
recoba was the fucking man for like 18 months
>>68730533
Emery isnt going to change anything on his own
>>68730274
this so much, he was brilliant and hardly anybody knows him today
>>68730592

But that was also a great Netherlands team too.

>>68730316

are you serious?
>>68730754
When was the last time Totti won Serie A?
Him and Djalminha make 1999 Depor a legendary side.
>>68730825
When was the last time Pele and Maradona won the WC?
That's a shitty argument.
:^)
>>68730880
.................................................1970 and 1986.
>>68730932
you do know totti's won serie a right
>>68730719
yeap I can recall easily at least 5-6 teams that was goat in that tournament
98 was the shit and inb4 nostalgia
>>68730825
When was the last time Messi won the World Cup? I guess he's a forgotten player as well, more forgotten than Totti because he does have a WC trophy.
>>68730754
Maybe not Totti, but Kaka is kiiiiind of forgotten at this point.
>>68730896
yep. People calling him overrated to the point of making him underrated
>>68729599
I wanted to be Henrik Larsson
While all my friends had the names of Figo, Zidane, R.Carlos or Raul on their Real jersey i had this legend on mine. You now remember Fernando Hierro.
>>68731122
Well yeah, it's been years since he had a good season and he's playing at the MLS, where careers go to die.
>>68730752
Thank Christ I'm not the only person who thinks this
>>68731163
>>68731223
kek, why did you delete the previous one? Se message was pretty much the same.
Also Hierro is consiedered one of the greatest defender/midfielder of Spain.
Mendieta goes to the "forgotten" list.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ORxhzq3aeh8
>>68730624
You now remember Thomas Gravesen
>>68731418
at least Ryan Gosling can fall back on being an actor now
Pavel Nedved.

>won CL for Liverpool

sad
>>68731706
This guy scored a blooter against us when we lost 5-2 to them.
>>68732674
>finished his career deep in the Real Madrid reserves
That was his own decision because he wanted to see what Real Madrid was like
>>68732753
Yeah, but I think it's better to be sub in RM than in shitty Liverpool
He was great in Lazio
>>68729599
Best freekick taker of all time
Beckham and R.Carlos are memes.
>>68729599
Who is a better FK taker, CR or Juninho?
Adriano was my boy.
Had the potential to even surpass fat Ronaldo imo
>Tfw remember always using Inter in PES 6 cause of them left foot blooters

I didn't ask for this feel
At least he's an olives magnate.
>>68730533
Thank you
Based Tamudo, god and legend of my team
This man pretty much won the World Cup for Italy. Then he disappeared, like a hero into the night.
Brian McBride and Jared Borgetti
Masters in the air. Prototypical target forwards. Neither had the silkiness on the ball of someone like Berbatov or all around ability of Ibra. But when it came to control of headers they were sublime.
![freddy-adu-pele[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/P73zJHx.jpg "freddy-adu-pele[1].jpg")

It's even better with old rugby jerseys, since they were made of really think cotton.

Fergie was a great manager who turned average players like Ji Sung Park into good players. He had good squad management skills and understanding of rotation. Whenever Rooney or Crynaldo threw a fit, he would just bench them for a month until they behaved.
>>68730643
not sure if you are joking, but i don't think there was any other player with the stamina he had. he consistently did 14km a game

Injuries. He literally spent all his spell at OL wounded somehow. He was quite great the rare times he got to play though.

>>68736970
So you think retired means "forgotten"? I'm pretty sure everyone remembers that he was one of the greatest defenders of his generation. Same goes for whoever wrote fucking Ferdiand earlier, except Cannavaro has a WC and a balon d'or as well.

Everybody remembered him thanks to the Euro.
Juninho Pernambucano is one of the GOATest from my team.
He was a free kick god since the early times.
>>68730456
Wasn't he the one who got a red card in a retarded way (bumping Van der Sar in an aggressive way) when they would've won for sure otherwise cuz we had already gotten a red?
>>68736878
Not enough oomph in anything he did, he was just weak "like an empty bottle". It felt like when you made those PES characters with top acceleration but no speed at all, so they looked like they were running but they actually weren't.
>>68735881
I haven't forgotten about Speedy Gonzalez

But another player I also loved and admired was this glorious based motherfucker. Always delivering good performances, played his heart out every match and played for the glorious red shirt to top it all. Underrated too.

Made of glass and has a really weak mentality. Got bullied to fuck by the Muslims and lower-class players during the World Cup 10. It was to the point they wouldn't even pass him the ball during matches.
>>68740406
Scored a freakishly good goal against Inter during his debut.
He literally had Maradona tier skills, shame he had beyond Maradona lust for drugs, food and women.
>>68741951
fuck yes, he had some good technique
Only true patricians will remember and acknowledge this man's greatness. Gameiro aint got shit on him.

Still haven't seen the goal that put your lot through extra qualis for 2004 EURO against us. AND I WILL NEVER WATCH IT: THAT FUCKING BASTARD I STILL HATE HIM!!!
>>68742069
I'm glad you remember him tho, he was as legend for our national team as he was for Glasgow Ranger. He literally came ot of nowhere old as fuck and played few fantastic seasons.
Wonder if anyone remembers this guy, besides FC Porto and Marseille fans
Mark van Bommel
I remember everybody hating on him in 2010, but secretly I would love him on my team
> that goal against Sochaux
This guy, one of the rare meme keepers shooting free kicks.
Literally the GOAT
Imagine Zidane who drunk a two beers and two pack of cigarettes every day and you get GOAT Prosinečki
>>68742145
As far as I remember he worked as Auto mechanic in his early twenties and played in some lower amateur league, then got found by Monaco and scored 4 in semis of CL. Defenition of an Legend..... BUT FUCK THAT BASTARD AND HIS FUCKING GOAL AGAINST US. WE EVEN PLAYED WITH ONE PLAYER MORE:
Totti is my all time favourite just because he was a dirty diver and I used to try and play like that, worked well until another schools coach complained about the way I played and then I ended up not being able to play
>>68742254
TWO beers a day? wow what a badass, you yugos are hardcore
>>68732263
2003 Real - Monaco was probably the best couple of games ever. I still remember than Giuly goal.
>>68742323
You are a moron aren't you? professional players don't drink at all, but he actually somked a almost two packs of red fucking marlboro everyday when he was in Real Madrid and Barcelona. I guess you missed the point or you are just a stupid fool.

He wasn't a meme. He was literally the most promising striker of his generation until he broke his leg and spent like a year off the field only to come back and break the same leg again. Biggest waste of history. Also I was an AJ Auxerre fan back when he was 18.
>>68742429
Depends, some players gone to shit due to drinking. Your and mine buddy Jorge Sammir Cruz Campos included hahaha. But he was never a great player while Prosinečki was really great even he was a bum. Ronaldinho also had a similar problem? Too much going out and fucking around. Too bad, best player ever.

Ronaldinho likes to party, so he drinks but drinking is not his downfall.
Cicinho is my go to example. When he was visiting his home town he rented 2 trucks filled of beer for him and his friends and the trucks came back empty.
There is also Adriano as an example, but he is crazy; i don't think drinking is his biggest problem.
What about kaka and nedved he had goat hair at the very least
>>68742587
It isnt cunt dumbsey either
>>68742605

Robert Prosinecki (Croatia)
If talent was everything Robert Prosinecki could have been the biggest football star of the late 90’s. The Croatian playmaker probably just enjoyed the good life a little too much. In 1991 he was part of the legendary Red Star Belgrade team that won the Eurupa Cup I (now Champions League) and it seemed like a star was born. Both Real Madrid and later Barcelona hoped the technical mastermind would lead the club to glory, but both adventures failed. Prosinecki smoked around 40 cigarettes a day and didn’t mind to drink either. When e-cards are flooding the internet saying “On a scale from 1 to Robert Prosinecki how drunk were you planning on getting”, that basically says it all. Still this remarkable player was part of the Croatian team that took the 3rd place on the World Championships in 1998.
