WORLD TOP 20 FOOTBALLERS EVER
It's far from easy to quantify the accomplishments of great players in any given sport. As a sport, soccer is more widespread than any game on the planet. There are so many national teams, and along with these teams come world-class players. These national sides participate in a variety of competitions such as the European Championship (Euro Cup), the Copa Sudamerica (South American Championship), and of course, the World Cup, which spans the entire globe. How does one compare a player's contribution to a given competition? And then face the difficult task of judging a player's impact in terms of club play; is a top-scoring title in one league worth more than another? With all of these different aspects to consider, selecting the 20 greatest soccer players of all time is a daunting task. English fans will be partial to players such as Bobby Charlton, Stanley Matthews, George Best, or even David Beckham. An Italian fan might include Giacinto Facchetti, Dino Zoff, and Paolo Rossi. Turn toSouth America and you would see names like Garrincha, Vava, and of course Pele and Maradona. There's no doubt that all of the players mentioned are great in their own respect, but to be one of the greatest of all time, a player must have added something more to the game itself. It is not simply a matter of goals and saves. Based on the following criteria, here are the top 20 greatest soccer players of all time:
· Contribution to the success of their nation;
· Contribution to the success of their clubs;· If a forward player, the quantity and quality of their goal tallies for club and country; · If a midfield player, the command with which they controlled matches, along with their goal tallies; · If a defender, the ability to foil high-quality attacks and take charge of their half of the field; · If a goaltender, the impact of keeping their team in contention during big matches; · He might be currently playing or retired; · He might have gone on to successfully coach a club or a country; · And most importantly, the type of legacy the player left in the wake of his career.
