The century is just 21 years in. Who gives player of the century when there is still 79years left in the century? It's like giving player of the year in January with 11months yet to be played. Clowns
They actually called it player of the century; but what they actually meant was "Player of the century so far"

That's actually a big joke.

But what is a bigger joke is the fact that the awarding body still has the temerity to continue dishing out awards year in year out.

Ronaldo has won 8 of their last 10 player of the year awards and his agent Mendez has won 9 out of the last 10 agent of the year awards.

And then the biggest joke of all is Ronaldo organizing a presser and declaring "I am honoured to receive this award"

this is not true. GOAT Ronaldo won player of the century. You cant logically say messi is the greatest player in the world ever, and he can't win player of the century. It doesn't make any sense.

Player of the century!!!


I bet you a great majority of the fans that voted for Ronaldo in that Dubai award move on high heels; sluts, prostitutes and slay queens.

The Top 20 Playmakers Of The Decade Have Been Revealed


Lionel Messi has been named as the best playmaker of the past decade.

The International Federation of Football History & Statistics (IFFHS) give out a yearly award for the top performer in the role and they elected to use data to determine who was the most productive player between 2011 and 2020.

The formula used saw the top 20 players from each year receive points based on where they were ranked.



First place collected twenty points, second was given nineteen and twentieth gained just one point, to give an overall list in a nine-year period.

And it was six-time Ballon d'Or winner Messi who emerged victorious. The winner of the award in 2015, 2017, 2017 and 2019, Messi's dominance saw him accrue an impressive 174 points.

The closest player to Messi was his long-time Barcelona teammate Andres Iniesta on 127, with Luka Modric and Kevin De Bruyne following behind on 113 and 103 respectively.



Toni Kroos is ranked in fifth position with 90 points, ahead of colleague Eden Hazard (77), Neymar (71) and Mesut Ozil (69).

Cristiano Ronaldo is renowned for his incredible goalscoring abilities but the five-time Ballon d'Or manages to make this list - his 54 points place him twelfth overall.


Here is the star-studded top 20 list in full:


1. Lionel Messi - 174 points

2. Andres Iniesta - 127 points

3. Luka Modric - 113 points

4. Kevin De Bruyne - 103 points

5. Toni Kroos - 90 points

6. Eden Hazard - 77 points

7. Neymar - 71 points

8. Mesut Ozil - 69 points

9. Andrea Pirlo - 63 points

10. Yaya Toure - 60 points

11. Xavi Hernandez - 55 points

12. Cristiano Ronaldo - 54 points

13. David Silva - 52 points

14. James Rodriguez - 42 points

15. Bastian Schweinsteiger - 40 points

16. Christian Eriksen - 38 points

17. Riyad Mahrez - 38 points

18. Paul Pogba - 35 points

19. Thiago Alcantara - 33 points

20. Isco - 25 points



Pound For Pound; Messi is the greatest football player the world has ever seen...

Not that I care much about this silly comparison, but simple maths will show you that Messi has more goals than Ronaldo on average. Check their matches to goals ration and also take into account that Ronaldo is two years older than messi
This is the math actually.

Ronaldo; 759 Goals and 222 Assists in 1037 Games.



Messi; 719 Goals and 302 Assists in only 894 Games.

What a pity. What makes u think am interested in ur childish debate as to who is a goat, sheep or rabbit? Did u see any mention of Messi in my comment or any suggestion comparing Messi & Ronaldo in my comment? Dude, if u bored, u can start ur trek to Turin right away
How is it possible for Ronaldo who is 6"3 to outjump a goal keeper who is 6"4 with his arm fully stretched?
It is not possible even for a 5 foot player.

The picture only depicts that Ronaldo jumped and got to the ball before the goal keeper and not that he out jumped the keeper.

This is what am teaching you...

Stop being foolish.

Even a baby knows that Ronaldo did not and cannot "outjump" the keeper.

The photo you get depends on the point at which the shot was taken.

What a leap? Even d goalkeeper with his hands can't reach Ronaldo's leap. I don't no how this guy leaps so high
So You seriously mean that a 6 foot 4 inch goal keeper would jump with his hands stretched up and still cannot reach the head of a 6 foot 3 tall player?

Why are you people so dubious like this just to hype a player.

It is clear even to a kindergarten kid that at the point the shot was taken, Ronaldo jumped before the keeper hence he had reached his maximum height while the keeper was still on his way up.

He was yards offside. Maybe there's a rule which implies that offside won't be given in the event that the final pass was heavily deflected.
That deflection is considered a back pass.

1. He stuck with pedri because he could get depay.


2. Fati had a nice outing last season for a 16yr/old, when compared with the like of rodrygo, Vinicius and even greenwood who are crucial first team players in their team, he also broke into Spain’s first team and got his first goal and assists, any coach that has a brain will definitely start him to continue his growth

3. Dest deal was kinda similar to pjanic’s deal, this time, barce was not the fool, we saw a vulnerable club in wolve who were willing to bring out a massive €40m for a player of semedo’s quality, we cashed out on him and got a cheaper dest, regardless, roberto was given more priority over dest by clownman at the start of the season.

4. He choose todibo over nobody, infact todibo is suppose to be in the team right now, clownman started this season with only 3 cb(let’s not count umtiti) and he knew it, why allow the fourth option go bearing in mind that any injury to a cb will lead to disaster, anyways thank God for mingueza
1. Agreed he wanted Depay over Pedri. But he got Pedri and played him despite having other more experienced attackers and he persisted even when a lot of us criticized Pedri. Should this count for nothing?.

2. I quote you; "Any coach with brain will continue to use Fati". That means Koeman has a brain?

3. It is very very very rare to find any coach anywhere who would buy a 19 year old and walk him straight into the first eleven. Such signings start from the bench and the gradually take their chances into the team. 90 percent of coaches would have started the season with Roberto/Semedo with Dest on the bench waiting for his chance. I am sure even the Bayern right back Alphonso Davies didn't walk into the team on the first day.

4. I said he chose Araujo over Todibo and it clicked for him. Nobody knows whether Todibo would have clicked like Araujo.


I am not asking for Koeman to the glorified. Personally I wouldn't even score him a 4/10 so far.

But frankly we can't just give him zero credit.

I don't want to be the one here trying to market the devil.

But the buck stops on Koeman's table.

We mush bash him for our abysmal performance this season.

If his system has favoured a couple of youngsters we must give him the glory regardless of the circumstances of him featuring them.

Unpopular opinion.

IngeniousLeez:
True....you just put it well and succinctly.

@tespidd I dey wonder how you go say Koeman buy Trincao and Pedri. People way Barca don buy even before end of last season sef.

I totally agree with all your other points... I ain't grateful to Koeman for doing the expected. Playing the mentioned young players was more of expediency rather than giving them opportunity to thrive. Asides Araujo and Mingueza which other CB you had? Umtiti?? Don't make me laugh. angry

Fati was assured of playing whether Koeman likes it or not, same as Dembele. As long as Dembele refuses to move out the club and is available/ fit he will surely play. His injuries are the only reason the board are not too flowery with him. The price tag alone and talent and quality while fit is enough for him to play significantly as long as Transfer window is closed.

Even annoying and stubborn Valverde that didn't like young players one bit was forced to play Fati. So who's Koeman not to use him, na him grave him go just dey dig, not after having problems with Messi. You wan come dey bench players wey him enjoy playing with(dey even are top performers)..... I laff. grin grin
He didn't ask for them Pedri and Trincao to be bought alright, but he saw their potentials from day one and stubbornly stuck with them even when you and me were complaining .

Even joveigg was complaining about Koeman playing Pedri before.

I know that Koeman could do no right. But if na Pep or Mourihnho we wouldn't talk about he did not buy them or he was forced to use them,

We would say they created a system for the players to thrive. grin

Koeman has no one to blame anyway for bringing this level of scrutiny upon himself anyway.

joviegghead:
The club bought Dest and Pedri and Trincao. Pedri and Trincao and Mathues were done deals before Koeman.

Fati is our only natural RW. The moment barca started sealing his future with things like 500 million release clause. Koeman knew he was untouchable and had to be played.


Dembele? Faith in Dembele? Nah. Dembele was to be sold. Koeman even expected his sale. Hence, he benched him a lot. He wasn't really in koeman's plans.
Injuries to Fati and coutinho meant Dembele was to be used. And his performances forced koeman's hand.

Araujo and Mingueza?? When pique and Lebglet were available Koeman benched him consistently despite his talent.

Koeman isn't playing De Jong over Busquets. He's playing them together. Busquets is an established barca captain. De Jong one of the clubs biggest signing and koeman's country man. Hence, he's gotta play. Even when he was playing poor regularly. We thank God he's back to good form.

Koeman didn't do shit. Injuries made him use some of the players you mentioned
grin
I know say it can be tough to give Koeman any credit whatsoever for what we have been through but make we give am small na just small.

1. He stobornly continued to stick with Pedri despite earlier criticism.
2. Fati didn't have a good run of games last season, but Koeman used him consistently.
3. The club bought Dest but Koeman was a long time admirer and he sanctioned the deal.
4. He picked Araujo over Todibo after Pique injury and that has proved to be a good decision.

I am not scoring Koeman good so far but make we give am small credit.
If we scrutinize other coaches like this man dem no go get Pass mark at all.

What am saying; we have a lot of young players playing well under the man's system. Let's give him small credit and forget every single detail.

You're complaining for Pjanic and Trincao.

If Roberto comes back, Dest won't enjoy like he's doing now.
As for the Puig VS Pedri debate, it's pointless. They both play for same team and it will be a delight to see them wreak havoc on opponents together.
I quite agree that Dest wouldn't have gotten his chance without injury to Roberto but Roberto cannot displace Dest anymore.

Sometimes it takes such emergencies to have younger players come up.

Credit for what exactly??
For playing them.

Buying Dest
Giving Fati good playing time

Buying Trincao
Keeping faith with Dembele
Choosing Araujo from team B
Playing De Jong over Busi and Pjanic


We can only give him the stick for not giving Puig a chance.
