When players are a good positions to receive the ball and a player decides to go past players on his own, he is playing to the gallery and not with purpose.

Finito.

I would not even include Messi,Ronaldo and Neymar jnr. in group of morden era players that Thegoodjoe have been singing about.
They were supposed to have retired.

Is an insult to the game of football by Mr Goodjoe to say that the great players like Ronaldo de lima,Zidan,Maradona,Baggio,
Ronaldinho,etc. played against inferior defenders such as Maldini,Canavaro,Carlos compared to modern defenders.
That's why they were able to dance disco and dribble pass them.
He even said there were headless dribble like the one Maradona dribble the English team for '86 world cup.

TheGoodJoe:


Injuries certainly played their part in his difficulties at AC Milan, but it was largely due to his relationship with the managers. Fabio Capello and Óscar Tabárez, who was brought in the following season, often benched Baggio because of his perceived lack of fitness, which, predictably, did not go down well with the ambitious player. The style of play chosen by both managers also favoured more athletic players; hardly conducive to Baggio’s philosophies. Tabárez famously said, after Baggio had complained about a lack of playing time, that there was “no room for poets in modern football”.

This is not about sentiments, as the game advanced, disco lights switched off.

"no room for poets in modern football”.

And we you are still arguing when this is precisely what I just said in plain words.

Okaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyy.

Now I'm curious about who said it died. Make i brock Lesnar the person.

TheGoodJoe:


I said the art of dribbling is not dead. It is now done with more purpose.

komekn:


The art of dribbling has become more intelligent and much more end 🔚 product centred as well as strategic.

When I look at Manchester City it's like looking at a team with several highly skilled number 10's ,there is continuous interchange of positions and formations.

Albeit with greater emphasis on number 9 depending on the circumstances, they change with the game and opponents.

So we even noticed the traditional number 9 quintessential striker is no longer central to some teams and or the numbers 9️⃣ adapts to changes and strategy making him very fluid. I see this in Arsenal and Liverpool.

The art of dribbling has not died it just got BETTER.

For South America it used to be like a thing of disgrace if an offensive player didn't have flair. Na like "who born dis wan"

Mujtahida:

"Go, dribble and go because it is difficult to find a player today with the ability to play in small spaces..."

This is from the piece you posted. It is not dying yet it is difficult to find a player TODAY with the ability to play in small spaces. Why the emphasis on TODAY if a comparison is not being made with the past. Why the difficulty to find dribblers if it is not a dying skill?

Odunayaw:
Exactly what I told him the last time we had this discourse

TheGoodJoe:


Messi is actually a highly tactically disciplined player. He interpretes tactical changes flawlessly. He cut a lot of his dancing when Guardiola took over.

chrisooblog:
Goodjoe you're overlooking the point that I when you can drill your team to get into good positions your opponents would also come up with tactics to nullify such player placements leading to stalemates or games based on attrition football.

Now this is where a player with X factor comes in. Someone who comes in with outrageous ability which completely befuddles whatever structured play your opponents have put in place. I've seen such as players many times win so many games for their teams.

I agree that tactical play has leveled the playing field but when you have a player who through a moment of genius or dribbling skill can win you a game is unfair to call it playing to gallery.

baseless argument that is not even related to our players and national teams 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Because players yesterday had big spaces to shine. Today, it is not the same.

Samueltemi337:

chrisooblog:

Samueltemi337:
Osimhen should just keep scoring and hopefully joins a bigger team this summer
