GOAT 30,449 Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 Has there ever been a more entertaining footballer in your lifetime? The guy was just amazing, always played with a smile on his face aswell, would just leave players for dead in the blink of an eye. Messi and Ronaldo, are unbelievable but they were nowhere near as entertaining on a football pitch as Ronaldinho for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZZ is a god. Yeah I seen a bit of that. Guy was one of the best ever in my opinion. Complete master of a football. Made it look so easy to control games and made almost impossible passes seem normal. As you say a God. Sort of player the game misses badly when they retire. Loved watching him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inigo 32,526 Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 For two years or so he was far and away the best player in the planet. Maybe not quite as productive as some of the other best players there have been and certainly didn't sustain it the way Ronaldo, Messi etc have, but during that 2 years he played football with a panache and entertainment value that you rarely see.

The Godfather 71,878 Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Had it all. On his day he could do things with a football no other player could and I include Messi and co in that. He only had a few seasons at that level though and that's why he will never be up there with Messi and Ronaldo who have been unreal for nearly a decade. Like a few Brazilians he just said fuck it and enjoyed himself off the park too. Legend. Id rather pay money to watch him at his peak than any other player in my lifetime outwith our own greats.

gsa 3,906 Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Messi is clearly the greatest player ever. The hardest thing in football is to pick the ball up and dribble around people like they are cones. He's been able to do it on an unprecedented level. Who else can consistently pick the bill up and run around defenders like they aren't there? I think he's done it so often people have actually forgotten how special that ability is. I agree about Ronaldinho being entertaining though. Messi, Ronaldinho, Riquelme, Ronaldo and Ronaldo the top 5 ever for me. Zidane nowhere near them for productivity. Countless games he didn't affect and was a passenger. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieD 18,935 Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 I always found Ronaldo more entertaining to watch than Ronaldinho. The latter seems like a great bloke though, and probably deserves more credit for Messi than he gets. If the latter had been mentored by Cristiano we probably wouldn't have heard much about him.
