i don't think its sentimental, standards of players today are much much lower than before with all focus on couple of players as the best in the world.
am not a grandpa who is just nostalgic for the old. am just saying what i have observed from counting names today, the 90's was stacked with beasts of football all over the field positions.
a lot of underrated players from the 90's early 2000s would eat players of today alive.
take the role of defensive midfielders. in this generation Vidal is arguably the best and bench mark,
who is better than vidal or close to him?
90s 2000's
