I have Maradona ahead of him at both passing and dribbling, and a few levels above in terms of skills with the ball.Lionel. He’s the best of all time at everything offensive except the stuff English footy watchers expect forwards to do in the rain at The Brittania.
From the stuff I have seen of Garrincha, he did not impressed me as the greatest dribbler of all time vibe.I have Maradona ahead of him at both passing and dribbling, and a few levels above in terms of skills with the ball.
In terms of pure dribbling it is close between Garrincha, Maradona and Best.
Shout out to Denilson, pointless as he was
Think Mostovoi and Valeron where more passer-type 10s than dribblers personally. I mean, they had good feet, but didn’t really leave anyone behind them.Anyone remember Aleksandr Mostovoi, he was mint.
Juan Carlos Valerón was another one who had awesome technique. Like Riquelme, a slow, tactical dribbler.
Also Le Tissier on full flow was a beauty.
Mostovoi was, Valeron yup was more a passer than dribbler, although I liked his slow dribbles to hold on to the ball and keeping possession.Think Mostovoi and Valeron where more passer-type 10s than dribblers personally. I mean, they had good feet, but didn’t really leave anyone behind them.
Oh and taling about Laudrup, we do always keep forgetting about Baggio when it comes to passer and dribbler discussions, he was awesome.Michael Laudrup was fantastic too
Messi has it over Best IMO and I've seen both live. Messi just has that acceleration;not much in it but he does. What Best had in shed loads was charisma,sex appeal and that 60s iconic status.We are however talking football.Maradona, Best, Messi. In no particular order. Messi is the greatest dribbler I have ever seen. Youtube is difficult to grasp the ability of dribbling, but Best and Maradona looked incredible.
What they all have in common is the ball seemed to be glued to their foot.
Great players who don't get enough love because they havent won as much they should have.Oh and taling about Laudrup, we do always keep forgetting about Baggio when it comes to passer and dribbler discussions, he was awesome.
I think problem with Laudrup and Baggio is, they do not get much mainstream love, but in message boards, we have few hipsters who will overrate them so much, that other people get annoyed and start hating these players because of those people.Great players who don't get enough love because they havent won as much they should have.
Laudrup won a scudetto, five la ligas on the trot and a European Cup.Great players who don't get enough love because they havent won as much they should have.
No way, he was excellent.
Djalminha was another great Brazilian dribbler who was somewhat pointless.
They had a lot of tools in their box as 10s, but Valeron had a lovely shimmy with the ball. Just lacked pace to fully capitalise on it.Think Mostovoi and Valeron where more passer-type 10s than dribblers personally. I mean, they had good feet, but didn’t really leave anyone behind them.
Well imagine Baggio with 94 WC and Laudrup with a Ballon d'Or then.Laudrup won a scudetto, five la ligas on the trot and a European Cup.
Baggio a balon dor
