So we should forget that the Galacticos Zidane, Figo, Ronaldo Carlos were getting old (All over 30yrs) yet it was Makelele that made them not to win when he left

They were winning before he came, So he couldnt have been the reason they won an additional one. The only CL final they won sef, he was subbed out
so u r basically saying there won't have been a difference if he had stayed considering they didn't win ANY TROPHY FOR THREE CONSECUTIVE YEARS
also de liam was in his late 20s there was Owen and Beckham and callbacks at thirty can still be elite and there was Raul, casillas

makelele won in madrid....he didn't tell terry to slip like a bïtch & he certainly wasn't responsible for anelka missing his pen.

makelele played in a world cup final for france. did sosa ever play in a world cup final for portugal? grin

you are a billy-goat!

Sousa won in 2 different clubs in consecutive years.

Left the defending champions went to Dortmund and made them Champion. Thats a boss right there. Not a passenger like Claude. No wonder the club president pawned him out like a used Nokia 3310

no, i am saying madrid would have won more in the 2000s had makelele stayed. he was already familiar with his madrid team-mates with an excellent chemistry. bringing chelsea into the fray is a redudant argument.

What proof do you have that Madrid would have more had he stayed? Or isn't this the same Maka that won no CL trophy before or after he left madrid?

coogar:
no, they wouldn't have!
they had no engine. zidane described makelele as the engine of the team. hierro said claude was their best player if you disregard the statistics. they know him better than you do, i would rather listen to them than listen to you & dayo.
how many world cup finals did he reach with portugal? how many european championships did he win? paolo who? once again - you are comparing a general practitioner to a brain surgeon.
Which Engine? Engine that could do more than operate in a 5m area of the pitch not so? Ofcourse they were his ex teammates and in Zizou's case still a team mate for the National team so was bound to say that. Imagine Hierro saying we should disregard stats? What next?

How many titles did Maka win as a starter for France?

Paolo Sousa was viewed as the better player till the makalele hype went into overdrive.


coogar:
that's because the others who would have said so can't speak english - and you wouldn't understand whatever it was they musta said about makelele. the absence of evidence isn't the evidence of absence. grin
there's a difference between a specialist and a general purpose individual. the specialist is 100% focused on a particular role & he does it to death. the general purpose dude has a general idea over everything but he can never be as good in the role the specialist is trained to do.
this is why claude is the greatest!

Ofcourse that was the reason nah. grin Nothing to do with English journalist hyping up a player cheesy.

Specialist in what exactly? Staying in one spot all match long? Abi what exactly did He do that others have not only done but done it much better before?

Maybe the Greatest in Chelsea FC history sha.

What made madrid tick between 1998 and 2002 are many and makelele is the least of them. Often time he was just a passenger on the field which would explain why Del Bosque yanked him off the field in the lone CL finals he has claims to

Winning trophies is not the only yardstick of success, Chelsea became relatively more competitive in europe than Madrid. Appearing in more semis/advanced stages for example. Madrid couldnt get beyond the round of 16 for 7-8 straight seasons if i recall correctly. It wasn't all down to Makelele to be sure, but his influence was undeniably felt.

So you mean the Engine of the team, the man who made them tick, the man without whom they would not have won the title was taken off the pitch at a time when Leverkusen were pressing hard for the equaliser? INCREDIBLE!

Assuming Makelele had stayed back in Madrid, Would that have stopped Zidane, Figo, Ronaldo, Raul, carlos Hierro they main components of Madrid from declining

Madrid declined because their key Galacticos were getting old and injured often
Their captain and leader Hierro retired
Perez pursued a "Zidanes and Pavons" policy which left them weak at the back
They started buying useless players from the English league (Beckham, Owen, Gravesen Woodgate etc)

Well for a Big club like Madrid winning trophies is the Main yardstick. Madrid fans and hierarchy alike could care less about the amount of CL semis they have played in any given period of time. Anything short of the title is seen as a failure. Madrid's failures had nothing to do with Makalele abeg. Other factors like Perez's crazy transfer policy and firing Del Bosque after he had delivered two CL trophies in 3 years are to be blamed

Lest we forget Sergio for all his greatness had XavIniesta who were pretty much raping all and sundry. Also Sergio has more to his game than Claude ever had. He actually could and does deliver defence splitting passes

Why Are we comparing France to Portugal and it is generally acknowledged that the French had the much better team? Even still at that they both won nada for their respective countries.

Katsumoto:

That Makelele was limited in skillset is an issue for Makelele; it shouldn't remove from others who can actually join attack from time to time. It is like saying that a Tahoe is better than a Mercedes GL because it can go from point A to B and is not bothered by all the expensive gizmos in the GL. Makelele was very good at breaking up play but he was very limited.

The only think I hate more than a dumb ninja is a pseudo intellectual.

Makelele limited in skillset? I guess thís coming from the same guy who rates Gerrard as a midfield God.

Makelele was extremely gifted in skillset. A brilliant passer of the ball, a game controller from deep and the only ninja who does the 'Kanu drag' regularly in midfield.

A pseudo intellectual would not remember how Makelele was an attacking midfielder in his younger years and was one of the gifted attacking midfielders in the Champions league in that position, taking Nantes to the UCL semifinal in 1996. His name was ringing like Seedorf and co back then when you talk of attacking midfielders. That was when he used to have hightop haircut.

We were watching thís shít whilst these pseudo intellectuals were reading Okeke physics.

others were central midfielders - they went forward & backward as they deemed fit. others were often caught out by the opposition for taking stüpid risks - makelele never crossed the halfway line. his reading of the game was excellent - he could tackle an elephant cos he knew the exact time to apply his foot & knock the ball away from the stride of his opponent.

stop belittling makelele....he was the best ever to play that role - a sitting midfielder.
bro tell them, they will never understand why they termed it 'the makerolelele ' , meanwhile,in terms of football knowledge, they are not wiser than these people that name the role after him.

that's the problem of today's football fans - nearly everyone now is an addict of statistics. if a player isn't scoring x goals & making y assists then he's not good enough.

think about it - it took real madrid close to a billion pounds to win the champions league again after that mumu florentino perez said makelele had no special talents & sold him to chelsea.

your so-called "players willing go give more than what's required" were tried & tested for a period of 12 years. none of them was disciplined enough to babysit the defence like makelele did without getting carried away to add x goals & y assists.

if mikel had been playing in an era when accurate passes, positional discipline, tackling, crazy football skills had more weight than mere statistics, he would be one of the top 5 players in the world. however, with fans like you -rooney can play 1,000 poor passes and still win a MOTM as long as he scores 2 goals in the game.

modern football fans are idiöts! grin

For a player that does no other thing than screen & babysit the backline, It was easy to opine he is limited.

He once struck a wonder of a goal against Spurs some years back, a game we eventually lost. I dont think he ever got close to an opposition box again till he retired.

If he possessed some other admirable skills, then it's a shame he didn't put them to good use hence I had to agree with the assertion that he was limited.

Mikel used to be this midfield schemer, he was all about creativity but Jose had those skillset limited when he had him shoehorned into the DM position - the once creative lad unfortunately lost his flair.

This could well be the case with the Claude Makalele I saw play for Chelsea - a player who used to be an all round midfielder.

I'm so sure you believe anything quoted by a white man. I'm sure u also believe Mungo park discovered the source of river Niger, as if Africans were not living there before he came. So u believe Makelele is the best DM? No wonder he was ignored by France for good 6 years.

The quality of the league matters. Why is it that players that score incredible goals in the championship can't replicate such goals in the premiership. Don't teams who win the Championship, move up to the Premiership, end up being relegated? Don't get me wrong, Nantes was a good team but shoe get size.

The french league is second tier in Europe. What did Makelele do in Spain and in England? and what was is consistency?
What are his stats in terms of goals, assists, key passes?

Isn't it ironic that a Chelsea supporter has to use footage from when Makelele played for Nantes to showcase his 'skills'? grin grin grin After Nantes he went to Marseille, Celta Vigo, Real Madrid and then Chelsea.
