You are missing the point. It is not just the star player that is disciplined today, but almost all quality teams. So, Kaka was performing against undisciplined players. So, it was easy for him to stand out.

Today, the gap is reduced due to increase in acceleration and physicality. That is why we see less fantasy.
I made example of Kaka out of many and I asked you to name a player who is disciplined than Kaka in this generation…..and again tell me players who are in habits of going to parties and still played the games next day.

The only differences between older and new players is hectic football calendar which reduces partying and clubbing.

LOL. Messi old generation. Messi is one hundred percent new generation because the modern game today took a big mould with him.

Finally, Maldini and co. could last that long because they were running against unfit men.

Read Thiago's quote again. Arguing against it is arguing against logic.
Maldini and co are running against unfit men like George Weah,Rashidi Yekini,Eric Cantona😀

Football of today is well control with good rules that guide and gives players protections .My 14 years old boy clocking 15 this year is playing as CB and a starter in Under 18 youth league.In the olden days not possible cuz he would be bullied but he does it with ease based on the modern day standards that gives full protection to players.

Kissing a girlfriend can not equate to what we are talking about. We are talking about maintaining body fitness. Today's players are more disciplined with their bodies than in the past.
Is it only kissing u saw in my post?
pls address if partying,smoking,drinking and indiscipline is considered a norm in the past ,

would u encourage ur under age son footballer to go get a girlfriend and still expect him to remain disciplined at all time?such usually lead to drinking,partying,smoking and the rest.

That is a fact. Look at Giggs, Cafu and Seedorf. What made them so consistent for a long time. It was their fitness. They had a stricter regimen than a lot of players. That was some of the key reasons for the gap. Same goes for the likes of Edgar Davids and Pavel Nedved. Today, such gap is reduced. Even young players come with insane strictness and discipline.

There is no guarantee that having a girlfriend will lead to indiscipline. It lies on his drive and goal. If Endrick wants to become one of the best in the world and maybe in history, he will need insane drive and discipline. There is no short cut and there is little raw talent can do in this generation. It is up to him. There are others that will be working hard to bridge gaps.

Francis Uzoho kept another cleansheet in Cyprus, this time in the Cypriot Cup Semifinals as he played all 90mins+ for Omonia Nicosia in a 0-0 2nd leg draw which qualified them for the final 3-0 on aggregate score vs Aris Limassol.

Where did anyone said no one can dribble. The point is that the Super Stars of the past will not be able tos perform at that capacity they did.

I hope he joins Juventus.

Ndidi and Iheanacho have no business sticking with Leicester once their contracts end in the summer.

Most definitely.

#1 - Stanley Nwabali
#2 - Maduka Okoye
#3 - **A Strong NPFL GK**
#4 - Francis Uzoho/Adeleye Adebayo

Strong Possible: Arthur Okonkwo (once he completes his switch).

We eating good now in that GK dept.
