9 - Robert Lewandowski

[Maradona37]

Again, if you want a discussion, please give me some arguments why Vinicius, Lewandowski, Haaland, Rashford, Lingard, Mbappe, Bellingham and Raphinha are better players than Maradona, Pele, R9, Best, Garrincha, Van Basten.

After all, they play in the more advanced, professional era, so they must be better, right? As you implied?

This is your chance to have a debate. I will wait.

And in one you’re right: I wanted to say that and average modern player is better the average old era player…. and that’s why it’s more difficult to be „the best” nowadays

Glad we have come to an understanding on the first point - though the second point is not necessarily true either as there are so many other variables.

Stop playing innocent. You didn't want a discussion. I have offered plenty of points which you have constantly refused to refute, so you clearly do not want a discussion (because you haven't got a worthwhile retort).

You wanna push the idea that modern football is oh so amazing and old football is oh so bad purely so you can claim your man crush 'Lewy' is better than Puskas, Pele, Van Basten, Eusebio, Muller, Romario etc.

It's obvious what you were trying to do.

And, again, you know fuck all about football history so stop acting like you do.

Your whole argument is that random dude from 1600 was better than average modern footballer because he was more talented and its not his fault that he was born at times where football didnt exist yet

Cant see Maradona or Pele doing that in 2025. They are both dead with zero goals this season and people are still comparing them to Lewandowski xDD

Some of you guys act like the 60s was the Cretaceous period.

Yes football has changed, but a lot of players from then would shine and prosper in modern football (if given training to bring them to today's fitnesss tandards). Because they were geniuses at playing football.

Equally, many players from now would struggle in 1966 if you transported them there and took away their fitness advantage.

This is normal when you're super smart, old, autistic and have superior football knowledge like me. And no morning woods to distract me from analysing football.

I see I have upset two (maybe three) Lewy fanboys by extolling the virtues of past players. Ah well, such is life.

Such a winner. Keep ignoring champ ⚔️

Anyway, bedtime for me - it's almost 1 am and I am up early.

Some echo chamber this. Feel free as fanboys to continue to delude yourselves that Lewy is better than Pele and R9 because he 'plays in the more advanced, professional era'

Nighty night.

This is what everyone have been asking for.

We all know he cannot play like he's 30 anymore, but we need him to score on the chances he gets. As long as he keep doing that people in general will be content even in games where his overall game isn't good.

Everyone knows he is old.
