BLACK LIVES MATTER -
23. I find it terrible when talents are rejected based on computer stats. Based on the criteria at Ajax now I would have been rejected. When I was 15, I couldn’t kick a ball 15 meters with my left and maybe 20 with my right. My qualities technique and vision, are not detectable by a computer.
BLACK LIVES MATTER -
I’m not religious. In Spain all 22 players make the sign of the cross before they enter the pitch. If it works all matches must therefore end in a draw.Hey, I say this all the time. I recalled a game where Chicarito started and was praying as he normally does and the cameraman showed an opponent finishing his prayers and making the sign of the cross. I was curious whose prayer would be answered.Originally posted by Mosiah View Post
Technique is not being able to juggle a ball 1000 times. Anyone can do that by practicing. Then you can work in the circus. Technique is passing the ball with one touch, with the right speed, at the right foot of your team mate.
That is why I was never impressed with a man juggling. I've always said, do it in a game and then you get my respect."Jamaica's future reflects its past, having attained only one per cent annual growth over 30 years whilst neighbours have grown at five per cent." (Article)Comment

16. We must make sure their worst players get the ball the most. You’ll get it back in no time.
Funny that is something I used in games a lot. I know I am playing a weak player, I give them the space to get the ball because the chances of you getting it is higher.- Don't let negative things break you, instead let it be your strength, your reason for growth.

20. Players today can only shoot with their laces. I could shoot with the inside, laces, and outside of both feet. In other words, I was six times better than today’s players.
And them say Pele wouldn't be a big baller today- Don't let negative things break you, instead let it be your strength, your reason for growth. Life is for living and I won't spend my life feeling cheated and downtrodden.

Karl, this one is for you:
9. What is speed? The sports press often confuses speed with insight. See, if I start running slightly earlier than someone else, I seem faster.
I love this one...
12. When you play a match, it is statistically proven that players actually have the ball 3 minutes on average … So, the most important thing is: what do you do during those 87 minutes when you do not have the ball. That is what determines wether you’re a good player or not.Hey .. look at the bright side .... at least you're not a Liverpool fan! - Lazie 2/24/10
Paul Marin -19 is one thing, 20 is a whole other matter. It gets even worse if they win the UCL. *groan*.

Jones was the first player that came ti,my mind when I read #3 & 16.Comment

The same way he distigushed himself in that era would be the same way he would today,unless he is stucked in a time capsule of yesteryear.
Dat is why me nuh automatically bestow pon modern players ratings earned by Pele,they have to be the very best of the best.
We have at least ten players today that would be Pele-like if they were time travelers,from those ten one is the best ,that one is worthy of comparison..Last edited by Rockman; February 8, 2015, 10:30 AM.Comment

That is fact, if timing - mind and your pace is on the mark.Originally posted by Jangle View Post
...but what happens if your mind or pace is not up to scratch? You are beaten to the ball!
Look Jangle: Think on this: All other things are equal save pace=speed across ground? Who 'wins'?
Fact!I love this one...

...and thus movement...sensible movement...TEAM movement (tactical understanding and following act) is huge!!!
btw - Did you notice the tremendous number of comments the great Cruyff made on and about TEAM?
