pace = power to elampiro. ..

not suprised he once said messi has more pace and power than Ikedia

Dadehmola:
Elampiro no know ball seh - make una free am!

lekkie073:
are u saying this for the sake of starting another meaningless argument?
Aguero is more powerful than Robben
Ronaldo is more powerful than Robben
Rooney is more powerful than robben


robben is on par with rvp, nasri and d likes with regards to power

With regards to his time at Chelsea, even Joe Cole shows more powerful display than robben




But sha, maybe ur own opinion of 'paw a' no tally with the world's own

chrisley024:
Is Robben more pawaful than Valencia

Kemizee:
Am not sold on Nathaniel Clyne to be honest.I would rather we look for another alternative.Seems he is a bit overrated.Anyway probably twitter bullshit with no real truth in it!!

parrotibaba:
Elampawa nawa ooh ,how can u say dat Robben n ribery r d most pawaful players playing in top clubs? Robbery has skill ,tenacity n pace but not pawa ...if u r looking for an example of "pace n pawa" ,Jordan ibe n yannick bolasie are ur answer

physical force or strength. ----- definition of power!
So where is Elampiro getting his definition from?

Having speed is different from having power, this is not physics biko!

elampiro:
Power is his number 1 attribute.


MAN OF THE MATCH Arjen Robben (Bayern Munich): In this kind of form, there's no stopping him. His brilliant first goal doubled Bayern's lead and effectively put the game beyond Augsburg, who just couldn't handle his pace and power.

Going into Brazil 2014



The national team relies on Robben for his blistering pace and power down the wing. He is exceptional at taking on defenders, beating them down the line, and putting in a great cross. Also, Robben is notorious for his hammer of a left foot. In Brazil 2014, you are almost guaranteed to see Robben streak down the right side of the pitch, cut to the inside to leave his defender in the dust, and unleash a devastating laser shot to the bottom of the near post or a beautiful curling effort to the back. Robben is an adept passer of the ball on the ground, too. He can break defenses apart with a quick one-two with a teammate, as well as put a perfectly weighted through ball onto the foot of an advancing forward. He has also recently transformed his game to become a more complete and team-oriented player. It is not uncommon to see Robben tracking back from the opponents half of the field to mark a man and put some defensive pressure on the ball, a sight that would have been jaw-dropping a few years ago. .....

So is it same thing with physical strength?

elampiro:
Physical strength is part of this power. However, football involves mobility, power here should be seen and obvious in the manner one uses the ball on the field. The runs and chases, the movements, switch off and switch on time. It's more about energy, you could add stamina. Ability to use same amount of energy to carry out a task over a sustained period. Rooney can hit a very high speed, even higher than Oxlaide within 20 yards. But Oxlaide, even if he were to run at a bit lower speed than Rooney, he would get to a ball 50 yards away due to his energy which would allow a sustained consistent speed over a sprint distance. Then he is likely to do that thought out 90 minutes while Rooney would have fluctuations in his speed and use of energy. You look at athleticism. Rooney used to be very powerful when he first started.

Di Maria has pace but no much power. This is why he is defensive liable. Di Maria's pace could be more than Oxlaide's, but he wouldn't catch Oxlaide if he were to chase 40 yards back to our area. His speed will fluctuate along the way. The speed of an Olympic sprinter doesn't fluctuate over 100 meter. Pace and lots of power (energy) is involved.

Robben can carry the ball across the breath of a football field switching play from left to right side with three men chasing heavily and not catching up, then he applies his technique and reverses with the chasers continuing and he is still applying same energy to advanced ahead of them. If it were Di Maria, he would be closed down and dispossessed before he does a third of that due to his fluctuating speed.

Yaya Toure for instance, doesn't have a sustained level of high speed over a many yards. He also has a switch off in games, which means there would be time he would be resting or playing lightly while he should be involved heavily.


This is how I can explain it to you.

Leyqute:
I taya o. If Smalling hits him once, he'll stagger and fall down in seconds!

lekkie073:
everything u have typed above relates to speed and skill.....nothing like power there....a beg e don do......

elampiro:
Oxford dictionary talks about energy. When you say force, I could agree too. I know Messi, Ronaldo, Neymar, Robben and Ribery all have force.

Suarez has pace but he is not so powerful or forceful.

In confederation cup, they spoke about Neymar's pace and power.

elampiro:
What I have typed is about sustained speed and energy. Power.



A man with more energy, but a bit higher speed (D Maria) would not finish 100 meter race ahead of another with a bit lower speed but high energy (Oxlaide)

Leyqute:
elamps baba na wa o. If Robben clashes with Distin you think he'll remain sstanding after the clash. Robben only has tenacity and pace, not power. You've been muttering power all these while and one'll think you know a lot about it

I meant low energy for Di Maria. lol
