[CL] Champions League 2012/13 (49 Viewers)

[Emmet]

Never bought the hype around Cantona to be honest, very overrated in my book, compared to other players in the mid 90s like Baggio, Romario, Stoichkov, Weah, Saviecevic (sp?) he was very average. The EPL in the mid 90s was such a poor league, he stood out because everyone around him was dogshit. He did absolutely nothing in Europe with Utd, and did very little for France.

Bergkamp and Zola were miles better than Cantona (and I don't rate Zola that highly either).

Dragan Stojkovic was a great player, what a poor argument

 

[Ahmed]

Kaká was actually very good, nobody needed Berlusconi to tell them that.

the CL, Scudetti and individual honors he won were all hype.

and superb troll execution by Alen, really.

 

[Cheesio]

Nesta was definetely better than Maldini in the light of what i watch of the two.

 

[piotrr]

I was very jealous of him, Nesta was definitely Juve material. Too bad he choose the wrong club.

 

[GordoDeCentral]

You called him a world class fullback. Just asking you when did you watch him play as a fullback and if you maybe remember some great performance from him as a fullback. When was it, was it in 1988 or maybe 1993, or 1998 or later?

Bergkamp... fucking love that guy, what an awesome player he was. For me he was closest thing to DP. Style, class and skill.

You know how you always hear players say in interviews stuff like "Ronaldo was the best forward I ever faced" or "Marchisio is the smartest midfielder I've ever played against" or "Cannavaro gave me the hardest time when I played him"? Not sure I ever heard anyone say that about Maldini.

Think Nesta said Trezeguet was the striker he feared the most.

 

[Salvatore]

He did. Said he was impossible to follow, or something like that.

 

[Quetzalcoatl]

No small praise.

 

[Red]

He did. Said he was impossible to follow, or something like that.

Aye, think it was because Nesta's pace meant he could handle most of the strikers that you'd expect defenders to be terrified by.

Trezeguet's ability to completely fuck you over with one yard of movement was far more difficult for a player like Nesta to deal with.

I'll just add parentheses next time

a Scudetto actually, just one (in 2004).

 

[dann10]

I don't think I'll ever see a defensive performance that tops Cannavaro 06.

Completely agree Berlin Wall

 

[Bianconero81]

From what I saw of Maldini, he was an excellent LB, but merely a good CB.

I'd certainly put Nesta and Cannavaro above him as CBs.

+Rep

Maldini was awesome @ LB. Roberto Carlos got owned repeatedly as well, but it doesn't diminish his stature as a great, or the fact that he had a stellar career.
