dude

i'm really football guy myself
and have never been a fan of ronaldinho

but i can not deny that things he has done in the past
even if it may two seasons ago
are above average

i have, and probaly you too, seen actions of him that average players just don't make

i don't think that there is any team, even now at this moment,
that wouldn't want to have Ronaldinho on it's midfield....

 yes but what im trying to say is ronaldinho was good and a superb player two seasons ago, but now he just cant to shit.

i just looked at the fifa world player list a minute ago

and all those players

also the number 2's or 3's of any year

are above average


you think you can win a fifa world player award and just be average?
you think you can win TWO fifa world player awards and just be average?

no way..

''Hadouken!''


ok

so you say that at this moment he plays average

that's something else

i also think that recently he isn't playing as good as he has showed us in the past

but that's a whole different discussion..

''Hadouken!''

the question I'm asking though, WHY isn't he playing as good as in the past?

 well lately hes being playing average. and i have to say messi is carrying that whole team.

 

since thearrival of henry ive noticed dinho has been playing even worse than he was b4. knwo why?

henry is being made to play as a winger kind of. not that striker position hes was playign at arsenal. dinho's been forced to play more towards the d. 



First:

It's just wrong to state that Ronaldinho is average or "the most overrated player today in soccer".


My opinion on the OP's question:
It's a sign of times - FASTER, BIGGER, MORE EXCITING. You can watch a lot of burnouts across the board of great players since the early 90s.

It's no wonder that - for example - Messi is injured now the 2nd time within a few months. The world's top players are overburdened (is this the correct word?) by all their duties like videogame & sportswear advertising, explaining their greatness in interviews, home stories and from time to time they also have to play football and do a little training beforehand.

It's the fault of the players, their management, the teams and the sponsors (Nike decide when and where "their" national teams, e.g. Brazil, play their next friendly matches). Everybody's expecting too much in too little time. Everything's sold out. A sign of the times, like I said.


That's why - in my opinion - all great players waste away their talents within a few years nowadays - @CaptainPrefrences: Let's just see what Christiano Ronaldo & Lionel Messi are doing in 3 years from now (and where they will be playing then).



Just like Ronaldo

Once they earned enough money, they lost the passion and motivation

cocaine is not a drug that makes you preforme better

it's a recreational drug

not a drug that short track athletes use to run better
or the cyclers use to cycle better..

it won't make you play football better.. that's the big difference..

  Diego Maradona says hi. he was addicted to cocaine. it ruined his career.
