What's your opinion of Claude Makelele? For me he is one of the GOATs.
>>66346350
>le chop him down and pass it sideways to someone good man
>>66346350
One of the best last names to hear shouted by Clive Tinsley in Fifa when you hit a blooter from way out
>>66346359

Tyldesley sorry, could never really understand his accent
Also when he shouts DROGBAAAAA

>>66346350
Vieira was better
Not saying Makelele was bad anyway

He's not Desailly, the true GOAT. But I like him.

>>66346350
He has a guitar named after him, he's gotta be good.
>>66346874
Good times
>>66346705
Vieira was a different kind of player
>>66346373
>you now remember that Diarra played for Pompey
When will we get out of league 2 lads :(
>>66346358
>implying that's not an invaluable skill
>>66346696
Guy did the dirty work in the defensive midfield. Seems like the opposite of a meme.
I hated how everybody started talking about the 'Makelele Role' as if he invented being a defensive midfielder
Top 5 DM of all time
>>66348061
Yeah its stupid since Deschamps was better.
>>66346350
inventor of the makelele guitar so pretty cool, I guess.

>>66348029
Well so is cutting inside.
I'm sure I read somewhere that while at Chelsea most attacks started with him. His presence meant fullbacks could now move higher up the pitch to support wingers. It was kinda revolutionary.
He was good. But busquets is the true GOAT holding/defending midfielder and whoever disagrees knows nothing about football.
>>66348515
It was just Premier League being 10 years behind tactically, literally every single team was playing either 4-4-2 or 4-4-1-1 and Mourinho was the first one to seriously use 4-3-3 which gave them a free man in midfield in Makelele and allowed them to control games from there (he was an underrated passer too)
>>66348586
poor bait
>>66348592
Mou played diamond 4-4-2 at first.
>>66348604
Really? I don't remember that. But he did use it at Porto a lot so I guess it's plausible
Anyway, a diamond midfield gives you the same advantage so the point still stands
>>66346907
Netherlands got so BTFO
>>66348333
>Giggs
>Great tier
>>66348682
According to Ferguson, the only world class players that played for him were Giggs, Scholes, Cantona and Ronaldo
>>66348693
Which is obviously bullshit meant to prop up his coaching achievements
>>66348333
Better than any player Englel has ever produced.
Basically just a 5th defender that can pass well. He's overrated, yet you all will continue to rate him and not rate Zidane.
>>66348693
Giggs is one of the most overrated players ever. I don't remember him winning games on his own or doing something to remember besides that one solo goal which is average at his most
>>66348333
>maldini
>not in GOAT tier
Literally the best player ever in his position, by far.
Good DM but even Gattuso had better feet. Nigga couldn't make two passes in a row, he can't hold a candle to complete dms like Bruschett
>>66348743
M8 i'm surprised Canada continues to throw money at their shitty NT.
>music was better before
the real GOAT DM
>>66348746
How many trophies did Zidane's Real win after dumping Makelele?
Also Zidane himself was furious after Perez sold Makelele
>>66348771
GOOD OL' YEARS BUDDY :')
>>66348755
He scored the winner against a 7th placed Juventus in their stadium iirc
>>66348743
>Better than any player Englel has ever used in the NT
Fixed
There have been many GOAT-tier players that Englel's managers always overlook.
>>66348796
>iirc
This is what I mean. He was just doing his job, but nothing special that would make him world class. Le run alot and cross man.
Bayol already made more with Wales then Giggs ever had
>>66348818
On point crobro
But he is legend, jsut like gerrard and totti
they are gods!
>>66348333
>no scholes
>>66348693
W-what about Stam, Vidic, and Ferdinand? What about Diego Forlan?
>>66348818
>le run alot and cross man
This shitty fucking meme. Name the two most desirable traits in a winger you cunt - dribbling and crossing. I want these fuckheads to leave.
It's like saying Buffon's a meme player for being le shot-stopping and command of area man.
Triggered as fuck mang
>>66346373
>this literal who was unironically halals number 10
>>66348333
Why Beckham is always rated among the best, the definition of a meme desu
>>66348756
This is the correct opinion, Maldini is the GOAT among GOATs
>>66346365
RONALDOOOOO
>>66354361
>Diego Forlan
le 20 years of pure mediocrity and one above average world cup man is now world class?
>>66359071
>Why Beckham is always rated among the best, the definition of a meme desu
Meme just like totti, makekelelel and other """"""LEGENDS""""""
Let's just admit that most of us only know him as the quintessential le underrated man based on quotes by former team mates.
>>66348333
guaranteed replies
>Henry god tier
>Bobby moore demi-dog tier
>Koeman & shilton great tier
>Don't even get me started on the very good tier
>>66348604
Which is just another way of seeing 4-3-3
>>66348693
>Trusting the opinion of a hack whose eye for talent led to great moments such as releasing pogba on a free & selling pique for £3m
Also not forgetting great signings such as Zaha, Bebe, Anderson (£26m), Veron (£28m), Mark Bosnich, Obertan, Kleberson etc etc
>>66348333
>bergkamp demi god
He was better than Baggio, maybe better than Henry
>>66348333
>tsuuuman that high
Great tier at most.
Makelele's BBC is literally a French football meme.
>>66363179
>>66363179
Who is bigger meme?
Makekelelle of Dhorhasoo
>>66348756
>>66359071
Maldini might be overrated. He's a great player but he's built up as this mythic player, pussy on a pedestal so to speak. He had just as many bad games as all the other players you hated on. Karel Poborsky gave him nightmares.
>>66348743
Memelele was a poor mans Steve Sidwell
