Trying to compile a list of the 10 best athletes in any sport is quite difficult. He did the same thing with laughter as a disease, which is so widely spread when the story is so clearly impossible. However, if you ask any soccer fan, they will always have their personal list, and the choices are surprisingly uniform. This is no small testament to the outstanding performance of the players in question.
Here follows my list of the worlds 10 best soccer players of all time. Names like Zinedine Zidane, Cristiano Ronaldo and Ruud Gullit are all absent from my list, which speaks volumes of the extraordinary talent of the players who excelled.
10. Lev Yashin
This legendary Soviet network would turn the mind to the shepherd’s position. Despite his intimidating size, he was incredibly agile and evolved into the active point guard we see in today’s game. Fearless as any goalie extraordinaire, Yashin was all in the penalty area diving in front of his feet and working from post to post better than anyone. Always expanding the role of the goal keeper, Yashin is considered the finder of the goal for the role of the goal keeper, that is, the goal is to remove the goal keeper coming from the penalty area by long balls in front of the opposition strikers.
9. Eusebius
The best Portuguese player ever, incomparable until the emergence of Ronaldo, still holds the spot as one of the best and most beautiful players to play. the game With his strong runs and silky smooth ball control, Eusebio was as clinical a finisher as the game ever We saw He was a long-time favorite at Benfica throughout his career. In 715 matches for Benfica he scored 724 goals and still holds the club’s all-time scoring record. In the province of Portugal, where the major European disease nations were usually shining, Eusebius lifted his country onto the international stage in a unique way. In the 1966 World Cup Eusebio became the tournament’s top scorer with 9 goals helping Portugal claim the bronze medal.
8. George Hagi
Commonly referred to as the “Maradona of the Carpathians”, Hagi spearheaded his massive rise to power for the Romanian National team in the early 1990s. The quiet authority on the field could do nothing with the ball. Always in supreme power, not by his skill, but by his presence, he established a seal. Often playing on the left wing, he previously cut his defender or the team selected in the box with impossible accuracy. He always put his skills to the best use of the team and nevertheless produced some of the most spectacular goals on the international stage. Among them was a memorable long lob from 40 yards against Colombia in the 1994 World Cup.
7. Michel Platini
France saw some of the most memorable stage games, but Platini stood out above all. Perhaps Europe’s best midfielder, Platini had all the makings of a classic playmaker. Pure ball handling, super accurate foot passing, a deadly free kick specialist, but above all an unusual instinct and vision for the game. Always a threat to release the team into space, he is also very capable of running deep into the opposition’s penalty area where he shows an absolute ability unmatched by any of his peers. His authority and indomitable spirit made him the perfect leader of the team, qualities he demonstrated to win the 1982 Euro Cup in France. Via Platini carried his team through the tournament to their first European trophy, second only to Maradona’s odd heroics in the 1988 World Cup.
6. Ference Puskas
The Hungarian ‘little canon’ is probably the best pure striker soccer has ever seen. Short and stocky, he was immensely powerful, and his thunderous left foot was feared by all. During his career, he scored an incredible 84 goals in 85 Hungarian games, still the international goal scoring record. Because of his stock and powerful build, Puskas was often overlooked by the opposition. Almost impossible to move the ball, sometimes it looked like he could score at will. After defecting from Hungary, Puskas finally landed a job with Real Madrid after being turned down by several Europeans due to his age. teams ‘the old man went on to secure 4 championships and was also capped for Spain.
5. Bobby Charlton
The iconic captain of England’s only team to win the World Cup in 1966, Bobby Charlton played for Manchester United for nearly two decades to establish himself as a legend. Charlton played the role of an attacking midfielder, a role he was most suited to with a keen eye for attacking opportunities and an excellent long-range shot. The life of Bobby Charlton was full of stories. He was one of the few survivors of the 1958 Munich plane crashes, before he went on to lead England to glory. Date the World Cup victory. As if that wasn’t enough, Charlton led Manchester United to victory in the European Cup in 1968, becoming the first English team to win the competition.
4. Francis Beckenbauer
Kaiser Francis was the best champion of his time and the best defender of any time. Unlike most defenders of his era, and indeed to this day, Beckenbauer was a complete soccer player. A confident group, an excellent passer and a unique perspective, he found and completed, free or picked up, a role from anyone. His elegance on the ball and natural authority on the pitch earned him the nickname ‘Der Kaiser’. Beckenbauer would lead his team and his country to several triumphs, including three straight European Championships with Bayern Munich and a World Cup victory in 1974 for West Germany. In all he played more than 100 international matches in Germany.
3. Johan Cruyff
The brain, heart and soul of the Germans’ total football Cruyff is probably the most powerful soccer player in the world. Now his approach to the game has been adapted and he has changed the game from the core. Cruyff saw soccer as an exercise in creating and exploiting space. The purpose of the foot of the whole foot was that the whole society should work together with this to lean. To open and manipulate space. From a wing or deep center forward position, Cruyff would torment the champions with dynamic play and creative vision. Always a fast and technically brilliant player, Cruyff was brilliant in his deep understanding of the game and the positioning of his teammates. His sense of space and angles earned him the nickname ‘Pythagoras in Boots’.
2. Pele
Pele is arguably the most iconic player most players have known, and his career and incredible statistics make him the best natural strength player in soccer history. In fact, Pele claims to have been picked as the highest year in and year out. Pele holds the records for most goals scored in a career, won the World Cup at 17 and dominated the world for a decade. Playing alongside and against the best players in the world he still consistently dominates. As a player, Pele has style and savvy that can make anyone cringe. After retiring as a player, Pele added his legacy to the game with his personality and world image.
1. Maradona’s student
Any list that has Pele as the second best player in the world always puts Maradona as the worlds best player. Easily one of the most controversial players of all time, he is also the most talented. Physically short and underweight, Maradona nevertheless grew into a giant on the field. During the days of Maradona, he was playing at his peak without a handicap on the field. He had incredible acceleration and pace, superhuman ball control, perfect technique, incomparable vision and unerring instincts for when to pass and when to hold the ball. Although he has every tool imaginable for a football player, he is also a good head of the ball, despite his small size, he would never hold the ball if a move to the home team was a better option. At its peak, Maradona takes Argentina to the pinnacle of its most deserved glory virtually single-handedly. His performance in the 1986 World Cup is the most impressive feat accomplished in any game at any stage. In the middle of his most decorated season, Maradona showed his duality perfectly in the now infamous semi-finals against England. In one half, Maradona noted two of the world’s most memorable goals and talked about them. The flagrant ball in what is now called the ‘Hand of God’ is in stark contrast to his goal in the same half which is now widely regarded as the best goal ever scored. In passing through the entire English side, Maradonna never touched the ball with his right foot. Some of the best defenders in the world against the little magi were helpless. In the field, Maradona strikes a tragic figure, but he was perfect on the field.
