That can be argued, between Maldini and Baresi who was greater
Of course, but Baresi would win the argument.

His 1988-1994 peak is the best anybody has ever defended.

His 1994 World Cup final performance is the greatest individual performance in a World Cup final by any player.

His entire 1990 World Cup performance is one of the best by a defender.

He was the foundation of the best defence ever seen in club football.


Finally, until Baresi retired whenever they played together it was so clear who the better player was. Don Franco Baresi.

Put some respek on his name.

So the greatest defender in history should not be believed when talking about football, but a failed USL ballboy

No wonder you refused to learn from the best and are always swayed by mumu display by local Aramoko Ekiti jazzmen
Greatest defender in history is Baresi. Not Maldini. Baresi.

Oliseh was the most modern and cerebral of out midfielders, No time for sme sme that was why he came and took over our DM as a "19yr old"
Oliseh was a modern CDM. He combined the normal African ruggedness with ability on the ball.

The move to Juve where he had to compete with Conte, Tacchinardi, Davids derailed him and then injuries and age set in.

Oliseh na baller when he came in 1993, He brought another dimension of vision and long-range pass into our National team that was when we realized we have a real world-class player on our hand

Did you hear when Oliseh was giving one speech recently about Yekini, He said

See this pass to Yekini, why won't a striker be praying for Oliseh every day, One-time ball and the striker isolated with the keeper

Go and watch this youtube video from Oliseh

Ugbade and Edema Fuludu.

I think i have gisted you guys about Ugbade and the spiritual warfare that he believes led to his exclusion from the 94 squad courtesy Keshi and his boy Mike Emenalo. Very funny story.

For me na close matches dey pain me not those where dem whitewash us, Cos I knew we were close to winning, That Chile 87 they had already hyped it for me by the time the first match vs Brazil wey Alcindo dey enter us from the right wing I know say we don carry wetin pass ourselves

By the time William buried the dead ball in WIlly Okparas net, I know say when you meet person stronger than you, you go gentle ni
Willy Opara fumbled for that tournament. Na part of the reason why people no take am serious after. He messed up against Canada too. Imagine we could not beat Canada.

So Maldini did not make mistake, it's his partner that made mistake. cheesy

Covid flavouredAmala.
LOL. Yekini finished Maldini there. That was a borderline red card. Yekini between 1990 and 1994 was a tough assignment. He would have given any defender problems.

That was the move, It was one of my first football matches that I could remember and It was really painful for me
Very painful but i don't think i cried, maybe cos we actually did well, and Osondu and Dimeji Lawal came back as heroes.

The Chile 87 team went there as allegedly our best ever youth team and disgraced us. Went there as potential winners and chopped 4-0 in the first game. I cried so badly and refused to go to school the next day. Remember we had to be waking up around 1am-2am to watch the matches.

For me na Canada 87 final wey I cry like say I wan die, If I saw the referee I for kill am that day, The following day on my way to church, I was still having murderous thoughts towards the ref

The Italy game it was naivete, We had a goal up a man up and could have managed the game better, Our attackers didnt trouble Dino Baggio

After Maldini pulled down Yekini, I just smiled like "My nigga" see werey defender

Amokachi and Amuneke leaving the field affected us, Imagine playing vs 10men and a speedy winger like Amuneke on the defenders instead of a show boater


Na wetin kill us be that.


Mehn that Canada 87 was bad too. The ref was a crook. Actually there was a rumor after the game that the ref was killed and another rumor that FIFA was going to order a replay of the match.

That was the game in which Phillip Osondu was being hacked all over and ref did not blow, but after Osondu picked himself up, waltzed through the defence and was about to face the keeper, the ref blew his whistle and brought the ball back for a free kick outside the box.

I think we still need another creative player in that midfield. Bruno can get injured and his deputies are Lingard and Pereira. I don’t think Pogba can play behind the striker like Bruno is currently doing. And OGS hardly uses him there.

To play further ahead up the pitch we’ll have to change formation.

And of course we need goals and more creativity on the RW.
So you mean a substitute for Bruno when he gets injured. that is a squad player. We need a RW to come into our first 11, improve the team and give better balance.
Our priority above everything else should be a RW.

And Pogba can play Bruno's position if Bruno gets injured, we just never had the midfield base to support Pogba in that position until now.

For me we are settled in that middle unless we are looking to replace Matic who is not a creator. We just need a RW that likes to create chances and we are good to go. If Ighalo is not staying, then another striker

We have Tom, Fred, Matic, Pogba and Bruno already in the midfield. Unless any of them leaves, we are OK there
Pereira and Lingard might be leaving and the youth team midfielders are not ready so we might still need a midfielder to come in, but our priority like you said has to be a RW and a striker(if Ighalo leaves).
I don’t think we need any changes in defence at all.

Right now, we need a player like Bruno Fernandes or a younger Christian Erickson more than a player like Harry Kane.
Another Bruno Fernandes? When we already have the original and Pogba?

We need a player like Giggs on the right side. The ultimate chance creator.

You saw the move where he broke free and Maldini dragged him down. That is a battle hardened defender on display

Imagine say na Van Dijk be that defender, na so he go dey run back and back until Yekini scores

https://j.gifs.com/gZNl19.gif
I remember that move like yesterday. That referee do us bad thing that day.

Yekini had enough pace at that time, it wasn't his lack of pace that killed us. Everything that could go wrong went wrong for us that day. The thing nearly affected my studies. The 2 most painful defeats for me as a Nigerian fan are possibly that match and Chile 87 4-0 by Brazil.

Of course we will welcome a world class striker any day ,anytime..it's not like we currently have one
Again, we must exercice caution so that we dont crowd the team with too many world class players
A great team is a mix of world class with above average players
Shey you dey wind me ni?

It is not a bad thing to have many world class players as long as they fit into the same team stylistically.
The problem is when you just buy the next available star without regards to how he fits into the team you have available.

Personally i don’t mind having 11 world class players as long they are in sync.

What is the style of our current coach and how will Harry Kane fit into it?
If Ighalo can fit into the style then Harry Kane can.
My concern with the Harry Kane deal is not about the style of play but the alleged cost and the fact that he has been injury prone for the last couple of seasons.

It would be foolish to throw all our eggs into a 200m injury prone basket.

Behind Messi, Hazard will be the 2nd most effective player on that list in 5 a side, based on ball control and how tightly it gums to body
He won't shoot on time, he won't pass on time. Eunuch levels. I prefer Messi and Neymar combo up front.

Good call
1) Obviously Argentine

2) Played in the 90s and 2000s, and played with Becks either at Madrid or Man Utd. Shortlist Redondo, Cambiasso, Veron.

Redondo too old and didn't play with Becks,
Cambiasso played with Becks but too young.
Solari played with Becks but i don't think he played with either Messi or Diego.
