Ronaldinho Or Okocha: Who Is More Skillful? by goodguy(m): 6:40pm On May 06, 2006
Between the 'almighty' Ronaldinho of 2002 - 2006 and our own 'African Maradona' - Jay Jay of the 90's, who do you think is more skillful?

As for me, I think Okocha is.


Note: 'Skills' here is meant to explain who dribbles better and 'makes fool' of opponents more on the field of play.

Well to me goodguy, I will like to put in my own words that ronaldinho is a skillful and creative player while okocha is an experienced player with lots of brains and all.

To me I can't be a judge cos there still some basic stunts that one of the two can use in driving there opponents nuts.

So to me they are all good but I always go for the brains. Okocha is the one I pick, don't tell anyone. lipsrsealed

Okocha to me is more skillful

Gone are the days of Okocha, I can only tell you that Ronaldinho is a newer version of Okocha, Remember Ronaldinho used to warm the bench while Okocha plays during their time in PSG. Along the line, Ronaldinho might have been inspired by Okocha's games who knows?
Re: Ronaldinho Or Okocha: Who Is More Skillful? by twinstaiye(m): 9:15am On May 08, 2006
If you say skilful, they are both skilful and at a certain time in their game one is certainly more skilful than the other. In short they are incomparable. Ronaldinho of today is certainly more skilful than Okocha of today, but that does not make Ronaldinho the all time more skilful than Okocha. Enough said.

I heard somewhere that Ronaldinho admitted Okocha being his role model when they were at PSG together.

Maybe I should have compared the Okocha of then to the Ronaldinho of now. So what's your response to that?
Re: Ronaldinho Or Okocha: Who Is More Skillful? by spikelord(m): 11:34pm On May 09, 2006
The Okocha of then is more skilfull than this Ronaldinho. He should have been the world Player then if not for Racism!
Re: Ronaldinho Or Okocha: Who Is More Skillful? by spikelord(m): 11:35pm On May 09, 2006
I thought the confession Ronaldinho made then was that Okocha built his confidence as a midfielder or summin similar to that,

Well, skills are not the only determinants for nominating world's best players. smiley

spikelord:

Probably. Or betterstill, he developed his skills from Okocha's.

Someone once made this analysis:

Okocha - Creates incredible and the most unthought skills; even skills that some would not think of performing, even if taught on the training ground.

Ronaldinho - Develops skills out of others' skills in such a way that would make one think that he's far betteroff than the original skill creator.

Buttomline: They are both entertainers on the soccer pitch.

I agree with you on the fact that players' skills are not the only criterias for determining the World footballer of the Year

But you can as well agree with me that Okocha has got not only skills but pace, shot power and other things a good player possesses. Mind you, he was once a winger so he's got the potentials to be norminated crowned the world footballer of the year then

Sincerely, Ronaldinho is better but they're both good players

@ Spikelord
Okocha is better no matter what,the guy is a legend,Dihno is good im not arguing that but we are talkin of skills here, not crazy dribllin,thats Dihno specialty i know that
i really dont fancy that boy
Re: Ronaldinho Or Okocha: Who Is More Skillful? by spikelord(m): 9:49am On May 10, 2006
Really, but Okocha of now is not like before. So I believe the Okocha of the last decade is better than the Dinho of now
Re: Ronaldinho Or Okocha: Who Is More Skillful? by Grizzly(m): 9:59am On May 10, 2006
Ronaldinho wins both ways. cool
Re: Ronaldinho Or Okocha: Who Is More Skillful? by spikelord(m): 10:05am On May 10, 2006

i believe Ronaldinho is the improved version of Okocha. though he is skillful, he lacks the speed that Ronaldinho have.

@ Kilo, All said and right
Re: Ronaldinho Or Okocha: Who Is More Skillful? by amodu(m): 11:15am On May 10, 2006
When they are in PSG Okocha play's while Ronaldhinho cool the bench and also said that among the player he respect that J.J is part of them.

So n doubt Okocha is better than Ronaldhinho.

@ Grizzly why did you quote me without any reply
Re: Ronaldinho Or Okocha: Who Is More Skillful? by kodewrita(m): 11:50am On May 10, 2006
I don't see why we are questioning the fact that ronaldinho is the best. Anyone who watched his games in the last five months, champions league included knows ythat he is the best.

This boy has so much exceptional ball control and he is PRODUCTIVE. J J at eintrancht frankfurt was so skillful and so irritating that he had to be sold. he would dribble the entire back four and the keeper , turn back dribble them again and still refuse to score,. the irritating part is that he would now smile as if it was just a mistake.

Ronaldinho in his own case is so productive, watch the pass he gave to giuly in the last match against AC milan, he faked four defenders (myself included)

Okocha is better.

Everybody has its own style of play that its own style of play.

No sentiments. RONALDINHO RULES cool
Re: Ronaldinho Or Okocha: Who Is More Skillful? by babwilms(m): 12:18pm On May 10, 2006
I believe Okocha is better. Okocha is an inspiration to Ronaldinho, Dinho even admitted it.
Re: Ronaldinho Or Okocha: Who Is More Skillful? by lordimpaq(m): 12:32pm On May 10, 2006
he wins

Re: Ronaldinho Or Okocha: Who Is More Skillful? by goodguy(m): 11:32pm On May 11, 2006
Guys, I think there is a clear difference between their 'overall performance' and just 'skills'.

Overall perfomance - Ronaldinho is better.

Skills - Okocha is more skillful.

Also, do not forget that we are comparing the Okocha of those days with the Ronaldinho of today.

In any way, I'm still a fan of the two 'soccerstars'.
Re: Ronaldinho Or Okocha: Who Is More Skillful? by spikelord(m): 12:16pm On May 15, 2006
Yeah, that is what we are talking about!

Hey men! hey men! hey men! ( by 50cent)

I love Okocha as our own but I wont compare him to Dinho.

Compare him with Kanu.
Re: Ronaldinho Or Okocha: Who Is More Skillful? by spikelord(m): 11:30pm On May 15, 2006
Compare who to Kanu?
