As someone who doesn't follow football all that closely.... shouldn't it be expected that the greats of this generation beat the greats of past generations? Now you have advanced tools and technology, training methods, diet experts and not to mention 30-50 years more of cumulative experience within the game, all working in favour of the recent players, whereas the players of old didn't have those benefits to get as good as they were.

Football isn't exactly as straight forward as that, those things can help with fitness yes but individual ability and influence is always up for debate, what changes in football are the tactics and certains rules. Ironically in the olden days the game was far more physical than today where players are more protected.
