Juan Carlos Valeron

Opinions on this criminally underrated player?

the guy from Deportivo? they had a wonderful team especialy the semi final year. and ofcourse Valeron who was absolutely fantastic that season (in the CL, dont know about La Liga)

This was probably my favorite all round Serie A season of all time.


You had so many legends at their very best. This was THE season. This was when Ronaldo exploded into a monster, Batistuta was at his peak, an experienced Baggio was scoring goals like it was nothing, Del Piero became a beast and Bierhoff really showed what he was made of. I'd give anything to go back to this specific season and watch it all over again.

Paul McGrath marking Roberto Baggio out of the game, during Ireland's 1-0 win over Italy in 1994 World Cup.

I was too young to remember it, but i've heard the stories.

Juventus with Del Piero & Zidane
Inter with Ronaldo
Fiorentina with Batistuta
United with Cole&Yorke
Arsenal with Bergkamp
Valencia with Canizares&Mendieta
Real with Raul
Barca with Kluivert
Deportivo with Diego Tristan & Valeron

and many many more. Each team had wonderful players, it was a pleasure being a kid in those times.

Great times indeed. Bayern with Elber, Scholl, Effenberg also deserves to be mentioned.

 

[piotrr]

+ Matthaus.

 

[Raz]

I hate Effenberg.

 

[ßöмßäяðîëя]

WHAT?!?

Why?

If you disliked anyone in that Bayern era, I would think it was Linke or Jeremies.

 

[Raz]

WHAT?!?

Why?

The final against Valencia, and how he pushed Valencia defender, don't remember which one and won a penalty

 

[Vlad]

Most neutrals do, but that doesn't diminish the fact that he was terrific midfielder and the one who dominated Real Madrid's midfielders during their numerous encounters in the CL.

Bayern from that era was cool, I really liked German national team back then too.

 

[Ocelot]

WHAT?!?

Why?

Effenberg was a prick. Funny, and if he was at Juventus I'd have loved him, but still a prick.


Sort of like Lichtsteiner on steroids in that regard.

 

[Emmet]

How good was Roberto Mancini as a player?

Mancini was pretty talented, some have called him a genius, personally I just thought he was a very good player. He unfortunately for him lived in the shadow of Baggio when he was at his peak, only played something like 35 games for Italy.

I would rank him just ahead of Zola in terms of Italian no.10s

Look at the capoconniere list:

Bierhoff
Ronaldo
Del Piero
Baggio
Batistuta
Montella
Inzaghi

That is an insane list of players, no league will ever be able to touch how good Serie A was that season.

Yes, it was a monster. The best Strikers of that time all in the same league. I really recommend anyone who wasn't old enough or missed that season to watch the video i posted.

Now let's do a little comparison here. Today this is what we have:

Immobile
Tevez
Toni
Rossi
Gomez
Llorente
Destro
Higuain
Balotelli


God, it almost makes me puke. Actually, cry. How shit has Serie A become.

 

[Elvin]

great thread

 

[Ragazza]

Looking through this thread makes me sad that I didn't really have an interest in football at a younger age. But I love reading about and watching classic players, games and highlights. The sport was so much better back then.

 

[Emmet]

Here is a question for the older fans.

Veron or Redondo, who would you have in your team?

 

[ALC]

Veron

 

[CrimsonianKing]

I'd pick Redondo. IMO he was one of, if not the best South American defensive mid of his time.

 

[Bianconero_Aus]

Juventus with Del Piero & Zidane
Inter with Ronaldo
Fiorentina with Batistuta
United with Cole&Yorke
Arsenal with Bergkamp
Valencia with Canizares&Mendieta
