for playmaking, Zidane is the obvious choice. |
| Re: Between Maradona, Zidane And Ronaldinho, Who Is Best Playmaker Ever? by akintun: 7:45pm On Jun 15, 2009 |
By far Ronaldino. Zizo is a great player because of the competitiveness of the Euro championship which maradona and Ronaldino cannot attend. |
| Re: Between Maradona, Zidane And Ronaldinho, Who Is Best Playmaker Ever? by Krayola(m): 7:48pm On Jun 15, 2009 |
Ronaldinho, but for only 2 seasons . . so I guess Zidane can take it. Those party crazed Brazilians just can't help prematurely ending their careers  |

Maradona is my choice. And he is the greatest footballer ever. |

Undoubtedly Maradona is the best Play maker in Football history. He single handedly wins matches at the highest level, he dribbles with ease can play with both legs. Scored the best in goal in World cup history against England then the famous "hand of God" goal. Zizzou yes great galactico, won the World Cup, La Liga, World's best Champions League and more.He is good but his influence in matches is no where near what Maradona did . Dinho is good , great skill and scoring abilities. Maradona is the greatest Footballer in Eternity. |

To be honest I was too young to have watched a lot of Mardaona. I only ever watched him at the world cup, and Barcelona games here and there. I know Maradona mostly for dribbling and one- two type passing. . but I think Zidane's great vision and passing puts him a class above, plus the fact that he didn't destroy his career prematurely. 1 Like |

Seems some people don't know what it means to be a playmaker Playmaker: A player in a sport with goals, such as a guard in basketball, who initiates offensive plays. The playmaker conducts the orchestra of his team's attack. A key part of being a good playmaker is ball distribution. Running at defenses is not play making. Playmakers play in the middle of the field, and not as supporting/shadow strikers. Their main weapon is their passing, and not their dribbling skills. For example, in the current Barcelona team, Xavi is the playmaker and not messi. Maradona was a great player, but was far from being a great playmaker |

vikiviko: Zizzou also decided many matches at the highest levels. Zidane also almost single-handely won the world cup for the french in 1998 against the almighty brazil. he gave france two early leads. Zizzou single-handedly neutralised the midfield of brazil that paraded Ronaldinho, Kaka, Robinho, Ze-Roberto and Ronaldo da Lima in the quarter final of Germany 2006 world cup. He humbled the brazillians on two occasions at the world level. Zizzou played like he created football. he also played with both legs and very good at hair. he could control the whole field from a spot and carried the whole weight of his team on his shoulder. the last instruction any coach of a team Zizzou plays for gives, is: "pass the all to Zizzou if you dont know what to do" |

biina: Haha. . thats exactly what i was thinking. I was wondering why Maradona was on the list . . . Ronaldinho is a play maker though. |
| Re: Between Maradona, Zidane And Ronaldinho, Who Is Best Playmaker Ever? by tkb417(m): 8:39am On Jun 17, 2009 |

| Re: Between Maradona, Zidane And Ronaldinho, Who Is Best Playmaker Ever? by jalether(m): 1:00pm On Jun 17, 2009 |
there is only one playmaker of all playmakers, Maradona the Don, like i have always said until Zidane and ronaldinho single handedly win the world cup, all comparisons should be suspended |
| Re: Between Maradona, Zidane And Ronaldinho, Who Is Best Playmaker Ever? by dayokanu(m): 1:44pm On Jun 17, 2009 |
Zidane won the world cup in 1998. Maradona had support casts too at Argentina |
| Re: Between Maradona, Zidane And Ronaldinho, Who Is Best Playmaker Ever? by biina: 2:34pm On Jun 17, 2009 |
tkb417:lets start with his most memorable performance. In the 1986 world cup, what was maradona's position?  |
| Re: Between Maradona, Zidane And Ronaldinho, Who Is Best Playmaker Ever? by biina: 2:36pm On Jun 17, 2009 |
jalether:Nobody has ever (and will ever) single handedly won the world cup. It is not possible to single handedly win a team sport. |
| Re: Between Maradona, Zidane And Ronaldinho, Who Is Best Playmaker Ever? by Ibime(m): 3:42pm On Jun 17, 2009 |
Zidane ke? Abegi Maradona is in a class of his own. If Ronaldo had maintained fitness throughout his career, Zidane would not be the greatest player of his generation, talkless of challenging Maradona. |
| Re: Between Maradona, Zidane And Ronaldinho, Who Is Best Playmaker Ever? by biina: 3:55pm On Jun 17, 2009 |
Ibime:The debate is on the greatest playmaker of the trio, and not the greatest player. |
| Re: Between Maradona, Zidane And Ronaldinho, Who Is Best Playmaker Ever? by tkb417(m): 4:23pm On Jun 17, 2009 |
Nobody has ever (and will ever) single handedly won the world cup. It is not possible to single handedly win a team sport.then you didnt see Argentina vs England in 1986 world cup lets start with his most memorable performance. In the 1986 world cup, what was maradona's position?what you do not know, its good to ask so i give you thumbs up for asking Diego Amando maradona was a playmaker in 1986 world cup. he played as a central midfielder Argentina had 3 strikers at the 86 mundial namely ~ Sergio Almiron ~Jorge Valdano ~Pedro Pasculli Maradona was in the midfield with others like ~Claudio Borghi ~Jorge Burruchaga ~Richardo Giusti so how is Maradona not a playmaker? can u enlighten us? |

Maradona is undoubtedly the best playmaker in the world. Zidane is 500 notches below El Diego. He proved it time and time again dragging Argentina to two world cup finals. How can anyone forget this move by Maradona to disgrace Brazil @ Italia 90. [flash=425,400] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Is1CxzEAxoI&hl=en&fs=1&"[/flash] How did Maradona find Caniggia in the midst of 4 Brazilian defenders? I can never get tired of watching of this goal. One telepathic pass turned 4 defenders into a muddle. Top drawer!!!! |
| Re: Between Maradona, Zidane And Ronaldinho, Who Is Best Playmaker Ever? by tkb417(m): 4:51pm On Jun 17, 2009 |
Maradona is undoubtedly the best playmaker in the world.nobody comes close so many didnt see Maradona so i guess we can pardon them Zizou is one of the greatest but maradona is the CEO of the playmakers  |
| Re: Between Maradona, Zidane And Ronaldinho, Who Is Best Playmaker Ever? by Sauron1: 4:57pm On Jun 17, 2009 |
tkb417: He was born to play football!!! |
| Re: Between Maradona, Zidane And Ronaldinho, Who Is Best Playmaker Ever? by FBS: 5:00pm On Jun 17, 2009 |
shait . . .He is good. The best till date. |
| Re: Between Maradona, Zidane And Ronaldinho, Who Is Best Playmaker Ever? by codedguy1(m): 5:07pm On Jun 17, 2009 |
Maradona defined what football is today. he was playing light years ahead of what other players were doing. Check out his exploits at Napoli, i just start laughing whenever he is on the ball cos i know magic is whats gonna happen. Maradona is a football god. |
| Re: Between Maradona, Zidane And Ronaldinho, Who Is Best Playmaker Ever? by biina: 5:14pm On Jun 17, 2009 |
tkb417:and everybody else on his team did nothing? Maradona scored two goals against England and that equates to single handedly winning the world cup. Even if it was just scoring of goals, how many did he score in the finals? At the 1986 world cup, maradona played as a supporting striker to Valdano for most games, and was used occasionally as a trequartista ( in the two matches Pasculli played) against teams that were likely to adopt defensive tactics - korea and uruguay. Maradona being the highest goal scorer in his team in 1986 is further evidence that he was primarily scoring goals, and not creating chances for others. Same applied at Napoli, maradona was primarily an SS for Giordano, and became a trequartista after the arrival of careca, in a bid to accommodate all three. As maradona grew older, be played deeper. To give you an example, a modern day trequartista is Kaka, yet pirlo is the playmaker in AC milan. At the 2002 world cup, Ronaldinho was the playmaker, but at Barcelona, Xavi is the playmaker. Like I said earlier, the problem seems to be a misunderstanding of who is a playmaker. People shouldn't equate being a great player to being a great playmaker. Maradona was a better player than Zidane, but Zidane was a better playmaker. Valderrama was a much better playmaker than both zidane and maradona, and yet he is not even close to them as a player. |
