He has limited abilities but it still takes an an extremely skillful striker to be able to finish and score goals. If every player had the same touch as Trez then we would be seeing goal records broken and better goal to game ratios all the time. If he scores a ton of goals and does not get nominated then it's a mistake not to nominate him.
also consider something here. Over the last few years our build up play has been terrible yet Trex still scores alot of goals. Just look at this season, we've had terrible buildup of play yet still Trez is joint top scorer in the league. Can you imagine juts how much more Trez would score if he had say a Gerrard or Pirlo in the team? someone who could create chances well?
also consider this: Football is a TEAM game. With the exception of Kaka and Messi in recent years and Maradona in Argentina, every team these does not rely consistently on one player to save them. The team as a whole has to play well to win. Obviously a team
will take advantge of it's players' strengths (just like we take advantage of Trez's ability) but no longer can a team just rely on one player to drag it through games. Players must compliment one another. That's the reason DP-Trez partnership is special. They compliment one another. One is a player who can dribble and create chances while the other is the one who can finish those crated chances.
Every team must play it's team to it's strengths and make it's player compliment one another to hide those players' weaknesses. You see it in all teams. look at Milan for example. Gattuso can't pass for shit. and Pirlo could not dominate and destory opponent plays the way Gattuso does. Played alone in the midfield these players would play awfully bad yet together they crate a world class partnership that compliment on another. Now both Pirlo and Gattuso are limited players yet that does not stop them from being WC.
If Trez does not touch the ball, then it's his teams fault for not providing him with decent chances. IF Trez does not score from 3-4 solid chances he receives during a game then you could say that Trez had an awful game.
you mentioned Fabregas and Kaka and how their team depends on them. Well it's a double edged sword. If your team depend on one player to play well then it means your team is poor as a whole unit because if that one player gets injured or goes through a period of being out of form then you are screwed. That's why a team has to play well as a UNIT. building a team around one player no longer works well these days (unless you have a super player like Kaka or Messi) and even then it's proven to be still gamble)
There's no doubt players compliment each other . But players really don't have to be Maradona to be individually strong . The best example is when players move from one club to another . They leave their respective teams with players that compliment them well to other teams with players they don't really know yet they still play excellent football in their newteams . More often than not they even play better football in their new teams .
Players compliment each other only after they have been playing with each other for a long time . They compliment each other not only because of their opposite qualities but because they have experience together and know how to combine with each other to be as effective as they can . Most players that compliment each other well have been playing together for years . .Trezeguet doesn't
complete Del piero nor is it the other way around simply because these players can play just as well with someone else alongside them . Trezeguet can score just as many goals with Iaquinta by his side. But you seem to think that players compliment one another when they're in pairs
Well .. I don't think that's very accurate , I think only a whole team can compliment itself with its own players . Many players have to mix and gel to make a solid , balanced , and effective mixture that makes a team .
Now when one player adds more to the team than the other player does he naturally is considered to be the star of the team . That's what I meant when I said Trez will prob never get nominated for the player of the year award . He is good at scoring goals , but can he add as much as Nedved , Del piero , or Cannavaro did at their best years ? No , simply because heisn't the undisputed best at his position . In fact many consider him to be a very average player .
Even though having the scoring touch Trez has is a rarity nowadays , it just isn't enough . There's so much more a player in Trez's position has to do to earn the best player tag . More of an all round player .Only someone who has the passing , scoring touch . and dribbling can have a chance at winning these awards .
I have to disagree on what you said about Fabregas and Kaka .. If a team depends on a player , that doesn't mean that team sucks .. Juventus depended on Zidane . Milan depend on Kaka . Arsenal on Fabregas . Roma on Totti .
It really just means that this player can give more than the average player , But without his team , he's nothing . Nearly every team has this one player that they candepend on despite having many other world class players in their squad .
A team is a bunch of stars that need some sort of string to start complimenting each other properly . I remember Zidane , Nedved , and Del piero doing that for Juventus .
