chad leader and not a autist virgin like messi
plumber defendersseriously, go watch, they just fall down when he approaches them.
>10 G/A in 86 WC of 14 of Argentinas goals >literally best WC performance of all time> only player since 1966 with 5+ goals and 5+ assists in a single WC>completes 53 dribbles in WC 86, still the record>most ever recorded take ons in WC history>creates 66 chances across all WC, most ever recorded again>wins 152 fouls across all WC>most ever recorded, you guessed it> reaches 2 WC finals>carries Argentina to another final in 1990 despite injuries>was already performing to GOAT status before 94 ban> Napoli had never won Serie A, was ranked 11th before Maradona joined>3rd in his 2nd season at the club>wins Serie A in 87/87, 2nd the next two seasons, then another Scudetto in 89/90>Napoli never wins Serie A again until the last few years>wins UEFA Cup in 88/89>no superteamMaradona is the GOAT for taking control of a game by himself and single handedly willing mid teams to great achievements. He's the Mourinho of players.
>>155483471Kino individual is correct also
>>155483396The vast majority of Millennials never saw him play either
>>155483396He was based unlike that sellout Messi.
>>155483396He wasn't a big deal outside of Argentina and even then most Argentinians are relieved that Messi's won a World Cup so that they are no longer forced to bring up Maradona.Most professional athletes, analysts, commentators and fans agree that Pele was miles ahead of him ---- almost like comparing Ronaldo with Messi --- where most of Maradona's fans are contrarians like Ronaldo's, only supporting him to shit on Pele (like they try to shit on Messi).This guy could only win the leagues and cups through mafia bribery, rigging or outright cheating on the field.He couldn't jump or header so he used his hands, he had no stamina or skill so he used drugs, he couldn't play with other players on a team properly so he got the mafia to matchfix for him etc etc etc
>>155483650>Most professional athletes, analysts, commentators and fans agree that Pele was miles ahead of himhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a2x1oC4ruiYhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKtOWIOJIQsIt's hilarious how soft players were on Pele even though the rules were even more lax back then. There's no comparison.
>>155483396He was better than Messi when players smoked and playing half drunk was normal
>>155483396He's not. Its just the age of the average 4chan user is in their late 30s and low to mid 40s so they grew up watching him thinking he's the best. Same with guys like Ronaldinho or R9 where the nostalgia and the highlight reels paint them as gods amongst men in the sport. Really you could make a compilation short of average shitters and they'd look five times better than the legends of the past and its an afront to their old people worship when even players like Messi are treated like the GOAT they truly are.
>>155483396he played during farmerball times where most players were on the level of current 5th league division so he easily impressed people, nowadays he would be mid
>>155483396Messi could never deliver a kino farewell speech like thishttps://youtu.be/Q8RvuFyDMog?si=VO8GdOJK1--gaCwC>I waited so long for this match, and now it's over. I hope it never ends, the love that I have for football, and the love that you have for me. >I thank you in the name of my daughters, my mother, my father, and every football player in the world.>Football is the most beautiful and healthy sport in the world. Let there be no doubt about it. >Just because one makes a mistake, football doesn't need to pay. I made a mistake, and I paid the price. But the ball — the ball is never stained.
>>155483650must be an Anglo that is still assblasted because of 1986.>He wasn't a big deal outside of Argentinacheck out how Napoli's stadium is called.
>>155483650>He wasn't a big deal outside of ArgentinaMe when I lie
>>155483508Nowadays they do the same with Messi
>>155483508
>>155483829>flag>horrendous post about footballLike clockwork
>>155483396He taught the people that if you want to beat the man, you have to cheat the man. Fair play never wins no matter how talented you are. That's why FIFA and MSM hate him.
>>155484494He was the most talented player in the world by far AND had the cunning of 1970s argentinian football, which produced hundreds of generational talents not just Maradona
>>155484445This nigger thinks Serie A defenders from the 80s (guys like Baresi, Scirea, Bergomi, Maldini, Passarella, Vierchowod, etc.) were plumbers lol
>>155483396he was able to carry a mediocre club at the time like napoli and make them european champions. plus he was based af.
>>155484549I never said he wasn't talented, but Maradona was a lot more than just an insane talent of football. He was a rebellious idol with a political consciousness and they did everything they could to topple him. They couldn't because he played dirty. He knew that the only way he could fight against the established power was with equal power. That's why he partnered with organized crime. He forced FIFA and the media to show their true colors triggering massive defamation campaigns that only inflamed the love that the people all over the world felt for him. They took 2 world cups away from him in 1990 by rigging and leaving him out of the 1994 US world cup because of doping. Everyone was outraged at so much institutional abuse against a single player.
>>155484566>Baresi, Scirea, Bergomi, Maldini, Passarella, Vierchowodliterally whom
>>155483396he was SOVL incarnate, zoomies would ne'er
