Serie A 2017/18 (90 Viewers)

I don't know any Gk in history that maintained such high standards being over 35 years old. He's the only one.

Dino Zoff, Peter Shilton, Lev Yashin, Schmeichel, Van Der Sar, Kahn?

Dino Zoff, Peter Shilton?

Kahn

 

[MikeM]

His anticipation, let alone positioning, looks dubious at times though, to say the least.

Ya sometimes I would agree. But every team thinks they can teach him to be better at that I guess. His height and athleticism is pretty much top of the line though.

 

[lgorTudor]

Lots of back and forth

tactical battle on the highest level, serie A signature

 

[piotrr]

What a pass from Radja.

 

[Cerval]

What a miss and what a pass by Gollum

 

[CrimsonianKing]

Dino Zoff, Peter Shilton?

No and no. And definitely not Kahn pffft

Buffon at 36/37/38/39 years old if not the number one best in the world, a very close second. Nobody was able to maintain that level at that age.

 

[Maddy]

The two Rome clubs are fighting for a CL spot and they can't sell out the stadium for a Derby Della Capitale. Absurd.

Forgot this was on. How is it so far? Worth watching or not?

All my mentioned names were world class goalkeepers post 35 (Dino Zoff, Peter Shilton, Lev Yashin, Schmeichel, Van Der Sar, Kahn). Granted Buffon is unique; both in drama and quality. But my point: not unusual to see goalkeepers stay at the highest level after 35.

Tense but boring.

Cause Olimpico is one shitty-ass stadium.

Gee, I am so glad we got rid of Delle Alpi, it was even worse. Probably the worst top club stadium ever.

Kahn even got benched by Lehmann at his last wc

Kahn even got benched by Lehmann at his last wc

By a giant turd called Klinsmann, cause Lehmann was "the better footballer". Would have benched Gigi too.

Ya'll just biased.

I watched half of those and while they remained good at an older age I’d never state they were the number one best in the world around the time they retired. Age is just starting to catch up with Gigi now but last four seasons he still had the reflexes of a 20 some year old.

Lehmann came of a CL final and was in great form. Kahn was already in decline

 

[X Æ A-12]

Anyone got English language sopcast?

For some reason, all i can ever find are the russian ones

 

[DAiDEViL]

Lehmann came of a CL final and was in great form. Kahn was already in decline

How did that work out for him?

He sacked Kahn for other reasons. He was the young new hipster "coach" wanting to introduce himself with a bang.

A Kahn in decline > prime Lehmann the Lemon

 

[zizinho]

Doesent change the fact he was in better form than Oli.

Anyways. Yashin won balon dor at age 34. A guy born in the Soviet Union in 1929 and European GK of the year at 37. Again a guy born in 1929 in the Soviet Union.

Dino Zoff won best goalkeeper at the world cup at 41, Van der Sar didn't become world class until he moved to Untied at 35, Schmeichel was great until the age of 40.

And that's why we must not compare between generations. It's simply intellectual dishonesty to compare Yashin with Buffon.

Whatever zizi. Whatever.
