“The Selecao”
Brazil creates the value of the wonderful beautiful side to the game and have
been producing many World legends. However, the talent of many Brazilian
players seem to be compensated by unprofessional behavior and
inconsistency. Arthur Friedenreich and Amilcar is the first Brazilian superstar at amateur era
in the 1910s,, Leonidas Da Silva is the first Brazilian player recognized internationally in the late 1930s. Ademir and Zizinho led Brazil dominated South American football during the late 1940s., and in the second half 1950s, Brazil arguably had the greatest team in history of football in 1958 World Cup consists of top players like Pele, Garrincha and Didi although top players like Jose Alfatini, Dino Sani and Pepe were not in squad.. All of them are one of the greatest players of all-time in their position.
The 1960s saw the greatest footballer of all-time “Pele” who is the only player in history of the game to win three World Cup trophies. Moreover, The 1970 Brazil FIFA World Cup team has been regarded by many as the best team the World has ever seen with the five supreme-class attackers Tostao, Jairzinho, Gerson and Rivelino. Zico as one of the most skillful attacking midfielder ever, was expected to succeed Pele in the late 1970s to early 1980s but he failed to make reputable achievement in World Cup final tournament. The tree attackers Rivaldo-Romario-Ronaldo in the 1990s was a main factor of Brazil achieve three consecutive World Cup finalists. Ronaldinho became the last phenomenon-class Brazilian superstar in the mid-2000s.

Formation XI (4-1-2-3)
Explanation of
Formation
The team is applied a beautiful creative style of play. In
this first XI, There are eight players being rated in King-Class, and every
players in attacking-line all are one of the greatest footballers of all-time.
An invisible team has Gilmar as goalkeeper. The two non-brothers Santos will
strongly be full-backs with equivalence of functional play but Nilton Santos would extremely support the left-wing to fill the vacancy area . Domingos Da Guia has a sweeping role for a stopper Luis Parreira. Falcao is selected as defensive midfielder even he is not world-class
defensive player as this team is expected to possess the ball more than packing defensive game. The attacking set would be phenomena. Didi is assigned as a playmaker in central midfield area. Zico would go advance to support the front-line. Pele performed as a semi-side forward and would move to central position depend on opportunity. Garrincha is fully a right-wing-forward. Ronaldo's destination would be only a goal

some injustice in this Brazil Socrates should not be left out of the 22 players on the Central Midfielder Roberto Belangero should at least is in third was better than Zito was such that only the crown thanks to an injury to Belangero and Mauro Galvao is one of best defenders in Brazilian football
ReplyDeleteWhom would you expect to name off to make a space for Socrates ? Zizinho and Rivelino are the two in the same position and do you have reason to support why Socrates should be better ?
DeleteVery Thanks for Roberto Belagero. This is a new name for me and let me search more info about him. For his status as the best DM in history of Corinthians, I am quite sure to name him in anywhere in the list soon.
well i would take dearman Jairzinho even if his position is different Rivaldo or even taking part in most pantries Socrates is better
ReplyDeleteJairzinho is the only reserved right-winger in the first squad. Has he been named off, equivalent of squad will not be fulfilled.
DeleteRivaldo and then delete only say this because it is so important Brazilian football pro like Zico and Falcao on that 1982 team, only that I did not agree and
ReplyDeletePaul Gascoigne England, but the rest loved only commenting to you because your teams are very similar to mine although I n ~ neum unca posted on the blog or forum
The Juninho was never winger. He played in Vasco AMF and CMF. In Lyonnais he played CMF.
ReplyDeleteThanks for notification to revise the mistake.
DeleteYou're welcome. It's a pleasure to help you.
ReplyDeleteI am brazilian, and a football enthusiast. I follow your work, Dearman, from Xtratime forum. Magnificent!
His raking positions for Brazilian players is very consistent. I agree with almost everything.
There are some details that need to be fixed, but everything else is very well done.
For example, in the Edmundo squad of Palmeiras-1993-94 played second forward or right winger. Fiorentina played in the forward, and Vasco-1997, too, when Evair was Centerforward.
Edmundo was prolific, but never played the striker. Edmundo has come to play until Attacking midfielder.
Any doubts about Brazilian players may ask.
Players is categorized base on his role and style of play. There was a main striker in front of Edmundo but as I saw Edmundo was rarely supporter or assister, his main duty is usually scoring, always conducting the ball to shot the goal.
ReplyDeleteSerginho "Chualapa"?
ReplyDeleteHe is qualified ! Thanks for this player. He is prolific enough to name in the sub-list.
DeleteSerginho Chulapa !!!??? Did you see him? Did you see the 1982 World Cup videos? There were a thousand of brazilian strikers better.
ReplyDeleteHe was not successful in Brazil national team likes many others since Brazil has too many great players. His club career is quite great as the sixth place all-time topscorer in Camponato Brasileiro.
DeleteOK, i just have another point of view, but it's ok, sorry if i was rude. One more player to search for: Feitiço. He was top scorer of campeonato paulista six times and played for Peñarol, where he won a national championship.
ReplyDeleteHonesty I’ve never heard of him but he is really a big omission, even much more remarkable than Leonidas in scoring ratio in prime period (216 goals in 150 games). However, he won all topscorers when Brazilian football was still amateur status (the sixth top scorer was achieved in 1931 when professional football was introduced in Brazil in 1933). His 39 goals in 1931 is also a record highest scores in a single Camponato Paulista seasons prior to Pele’s era. Now I name him at 19th Brazilian striker at the first sight.
DeleteWhat about Russinho ? He is one of the greatest players in Vasco da Gama's history being named Vasco da Gama player of the year 7 times consecutively ? He should definetly be in the forwards list.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting but could you tell me the source which specified his status as one of Vasco’s greatest ever ?
DeleteI don't have a certain link wich says the exact thing but I tought it was a general fact amongst Vasco fans. Alltough after you asked I searched a bit and found that he is included in Vasco's all-time squad according to PES Classic stats. https://pespespes.wordpress.com/2013/09/16/vasco-da-gama/
DeleteBtw can you please link where you get the all-star XI's for Copa America? I see Djalma was included insome in the 50's.
DeleteI even cannot find the career goals stats of Russinho, just found he was a top scorer in Campeonato carioca three times and he was caped only twice for Brazil in the era of normal level competitiveness to win the caps. One of them was selected for the 1930 World Cup match against Bolivia and scored no goal with the team win 4 – 0.
DeleteFor Copa America Best XI, I got it from msioux at Bigsoccer.com (available in a few years during 1950s) but cannot remember which thread I picked them. You may ask him in that link ?
In 1930 the Veado tobacco company sponsored a poll in Brazil to determine who was the nation's favourite footballer. The contest was known as the Concurso Monroe and the prize was a Chrysler sports car. This is pretty impressive as theoretically the game in Brazil was an amateur affair. More aristocratic clubs such as Fluminense kept up this pretense with more vigour than their proletarian neighbours such as Botafogo and Vasco. However, professionalism was not openly accepted until 1933. The results of the poll (and the number of votes is quite staggering) was:
Delete1.Russinho (Vasco da Gama) 2,900,649
2. Agostinho Fortes Filho (Fluminense) 2,048,483
3. Filó (Paulistano) 722,563
So, Russinho got the car :D
You make a mistake. You put Luis Monti in "Eras Greatest Brazilian Footballers". And Neymar doesn't deserve a place in the positional ranking of forwards?
ReplyDeleteOk, Thanks. I've replaced Monti by Carvalho Leite is the first half 1930s and also add Neymar in FW list.
DeleteMarcelinho Carioca and Marcelinho Paraíba?
ReplyDeleteI think they are not among the upper ranks in history of Brazilian football as there are also many other should be as great as them.
DeleteMoacir Pinto and Moacir Claudino? It is the same player. Repeated.
ReplyDeleteOK, Thanks !
DeleteTele Santana yes this is the best technician in the history of Brazil Tele Santana assembled the team that played the most beautiful in the history of World Football 82 in addition to his many great titles with Sao Paulo in the 90s
ReplyDeleteCafu was the best right back in the history of Brazilian football no doubt see what he won
ReplyDeleteTrophy numbers acquisition represents team achievement and should not too much be applied to individual performance particularly with the superb class of teammates.
DeleteCafu
DeleteMain titles for clubs: 2 Interclub World (1992 and 1993), two Libertadores Cups (1992 and 1993), 2 Recopas South America (1993 and 1994), one Supercopa Libertadores (1993), the first Brazilian Championship (1991) and 3 Paulista Championships (1989, 1991 and 1992) by São Paulo.

What? Sorry, but Carlos Alberto and Djalma Santos are the greatest right-backs of all time. Cafu is on Top 10, but Carlos Alberto is MUCH better than Cafu.
DeleteHello Dearman. Could you explain to me why do you consider Nelinho to be better than Dani Alves? I mean, in that case did you consider just national team performances?
ReplyDeleteIt sounds a little odd to me, taking into account the quality of Alves and what he's won and represented for Barcelona (one of the best teams in history).
And does Thiago Silva deserve a spot?
By the way, I have huge respect for your incredible work!
Actually I have not considered to update status of Alves yet. As he had reached his great level again in 2015, I agree he should have surpassed Nelinho who was limited to play for Brazil.
DeleteAs well as Thiago Silva who has been ranked ahead of Ricardo Gomes in my list of top 100 central defenders ever. I'll add him.
Thank you for your reply. I'm mainly asking about contemporary players because it is a matter of interest to me to see who can reach the heights of the great footballers of the past. Regarding the "old ones", I am studying them also thanks to your work.
DeleteCândido Valdo should have a place in Positional Ranking
ReplyDeleteWait... Wheres Romário in the first team? Te "baixinho" was waaaaaaaay better than Ronaldo or Garrincha.
ReplyDeleteNo Tim? He still stand as one of the best Brazilian passers of all time.
ReplyDeleteCarlos Alberto could play as center-back so why don't you include him in the starting XI? I see that you placed for example(there are many) , Sandro Mazzola in central midfield ahead of Pirlo for Italy. If secondary position is considered why not place Alberto , who is a far bigger legend than Pereira.
ReplyDeleteDirceu and Ademir da Guia are atacking midfielders , not central midfielders. Dirceu's secondary position was even forward , not CM.
ReplyDeleteDirceu Lopes is deep-lying playmaker so he is named in CM category as well as Ademir da Guia. Another Dirceu is available in AM list.
DeleteHeitor Marcelino Domingues, great striker of teh SE Palmeiras and Brazil National Team.
ReplyDeleteLuiz Trochillo AMF, Claudio Cristovão Pinho RWF, Baltazar CF The wronged ones Paulinho Almeida RSB and Dequinha DMF and Mauro Galvão CWP should be in 10 places in his list Defenders.
ReplyDeleteHey, thanks you very much. Have you made your all-time Brazil squad and its positional ranking ? I really would like to hear suggestion from you rank by rank.
DeleteYes I did, but I am doing a review, but it is not so different from yours, one detail is that in my there is more marking with Danilo Alvim in the first moment, that already made a change a suggestion added Baltazar in position n ° 23 and Carlitos Besides being a centerpiece, was also a left-wing.
ReplyDeleteZito has to be above Toninho Cerezo.
ReplyDeleteJuninho Pernambucano is not offensive lateral. Juninho is Miedfielder (AMF and CMF).
ReplyDeleteOK, I just remember he played as right-side midfielder for Brazil but it was only a few games and his main position should be AM.
DeleteHello! Is Marcelo already qualified to be in the list of defensive lateral? He isn't in that list.
ReplyDeleteSorry which list do you refer to ?
DeleteThe Table of Positional Ranking. ;)
DeleteOK, I have updated.
DeleteAngelo Sormani is italian player. Born in Brazil, but he became naturalized Italian. By the way, played for italian national squad.
ReplyDeleteI have a criteria to judge players' nationality but I need to ensure he is good enough. Let me study him more but his scoring record is not such an outstanding one.
DeleteI've got the feeling that Clodoaldo should be higher rated he is now Prince Silver, but should atleast be a Queen Bronze, right?
ReplyDeleteI agree
DeleteI also think that Vava should be highter rated!
ReplyDeleteCasemiro and P. Coutinho in the table of positional ranking?
ReplyDeleteWhat about P. Coutinho, magnificient dribbling wizzard and Casemiro, great destroyer?
ReplyDeleteLuisão, Álex (Rodrigo Dias da Costa) and Cris in Positional Ranking? They all achieved good seasons, but Luisão deserves more in my opinion.
ReplyDeleteRonaldinho and Romario deserve to have King bronze
ReplyDeleteI see that Zozimo is missed out on the list... He participated at the 1958 and 1962 World Cups (what Brazil both won)
ReplyDeleteThank You for Sharing Information!!
ReplyDeleteHere you will find all players in russia world cup 2018 players
Why are Rivelino (7), Ronaldinho (8), Romario (9), Rivaldo (10), Jairzinho (11) and Falcao (12) ranked Queen Gold, while Nilton Santos (13) is King Bronze?
ReplyDeleteWhy are Roberto Carlos (16) and Leovegildo Junior (18) ranked Queen Silver while Carlos Alberto (unranked) is Queen Gold?
Some have not been updated. Anyway, the class is rated by position and that allows some lower rank in footballer list to have a higher class.
DeleteIsn't that a bit confusing than? For example: Neymar who is a forward can be better than Zico a midfielder although there class say he isn't better?
DeleteGiving Garrincha and Messi the same rating is an insult to Messi. Giving both king gold is very misleading. No one ever talks about Garrincha when the best ever players comes up.. he's not ranked high on any lists really. Overall you did a good job, but I am very conflicting with this one.
ReplyDeleteI agree Garrincha should have not been King Gold.
DeleteI see Rivelino is higher than Dinho in The Greatest Brazilian Footballers of All-Time list, but in World's All-Time Greatest Footballers Dinho is higher than Rivelino. Is there any explanation? Anyway, keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteSo I haven't updated Rivelino ranking in this list. Thanks you.
DeleteQueen silver for Neymar is still too high at this point, especially when considering that there are some equal players whom you have rated prince gold.
ReplyDeleteMAURO GALVÃO ?
ReplyDeleteI think you're overrating Thiago Silva A LOT. He is not even that good, and he only 'looks' good because he plays in the farmers league with no real competition. Of course he is going to look world class when PSG face the incredibly bad opposition that they do in Ligue 1. Prince Silver at most in my opinion.
ReplyDeleteI tend to agree that he is overrated due to low competitiveness in defender positions in this era but he sustain as one of the most reliable defenders in the world in many consecutive years.
Deletewhat about Hulk? I mean, if Robinho appears in this post, he should too. Hulk is better player and also a better professional
ReplyDeleteI can't see how is he great enough when look at his record in both domestically and internationally.
Deletewhat prevents romario from having king bronze?
ReplyDeletehe was world champion in 94 with brazil, in the same year, he won the world golden ball, the ballon d'or and the world fifa player of the year (silver in 93).
besides he was topscorer at the summer olympics 1988 in seoul, won the placar golden boot in 99, 2000, 2002.
he was top scorer in the dutch league for several years, champions league top scorer in 89 / 90 and 92 / 93.
and during this time, he built a magic attack in barca with stoichkov, etc.
i could mention further more awards,
but to say it briefly:
come on narathorn,
give him king bronze
he was an extraordinary player not only in club but also in national team.
Why Is Djalma Santos Starting, When Carlos Alberto, Is Ranked Higher, In The Top 100 Greatest Defensive Laterals Of All Time, & Your Top 50 Defenders Of All Time?
ReplyDeleteDjalma's performance for Brazil is totally better when criteria of this selection is set for more weight in national team performance than that of positional list.
DeleteWhy Is Edinho Above Mauro, When Mauro Is Ranked Higher In The Top 100 Center Backs Of All Time?
ReplyDeleteCriteria of NT weight between positional list and national team is different.
ReplyDeleteHi Naratorn.
ReplyDeleteDon't you think that Fernandinho could be mentioned in positional ranking? He is highly rated in England, although not as well in Brazil, and has at least 3 excellent seasons at Man City in both DBS Calcio and Whoscored, in addition to his really good career in Shakthar Donetsk.
I believe he could have a spot in defensive midfield. You have Dudu and Andrade in the ranking, who don't have a wide national team carreer and are less proven at club level - although Andrade won a Libertadores with Flamengo, he flopped hardly in Europe with Roma.
Maybe Gilberto Silva and Edmilson should be mentioned as well, and Casemiro should definetly be upgraded by now.
Looking forward to your reply!
I did not watch him regularly but when look at his seasonal rating, he has never been nominated in FIFPro world XI in any descending teams. Let see more his performance in current season.
DeleteFor me, Gilverto Silva is not remarkable at all. He consistency played well but his style of play is very limited.
Casemiro is impressive internationally but he was out of significant proportion of total seasonal matches in the first two at Real Madrid and his rating is not competitive at all.
Dearman I respect your choices about my country's football, but the list has unfair choices, which is understandable because you are not Brazilian, the much attention devoted to Rio de Janeiro football is wrong, and some choices made with Preference to players who played in Europe, remembering Juninho Pernanbucano in the Brazilian national team is the same as remembering Marcelinho Carioca look that Marcelinho was better than him, Zé Roberto is remembered? maybe you should remember Renato Gaucho for example, Ronaldo is no better than Romário, both had the same level of football, but there in Europe they remember Ronaldo more because of his performance in Europe. Roberto Carlos to me is one of the biggest or maybe the biggest Left-Back I've ever heard, I say the same of Nelinho on the right, and Socrates can't be out of any team in Brazil.
ReplyDeleteWell, How would you be certain that Brazilian players are overrated due to playing in Europe when players have to face many obstacles and adopt themselves to success in European football.I think it is not the point.
DeleteI ever listed many failures of Romario such as his below expected performance in 1993 1994 UCL, he was not a starter of Brazil national team in World Cup 1990 and many others.
ALISSON BECKER?
ReplyDeleteDelem não deveria estar na lista, foi um jogador comum, está na lista acima de Muller que foi muito melhoer que ele.
ReplyDeleteHi, I don't really know Chico well, but he is listed in the "Brazilian Football Museum – Hall of Fame" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Brazil_national_football_team#Brazilian_Football_Museum_%E2%80%93_Hall_of_Fame
ReplyDeleteShouldn't he get a higher spot considering the other players in the "Hall of Fame"
Oh OK, I see all names in hall of fame are worldwide reputable. Only Zagallo whom I think highly overrated. It is also strange that Jair Da Rosa who is more well-known than Chico not named in Hall of Fame.
ReplyDeleteCant you give me information about: Defensive Midfielder N0.16 - Dudu? Who is he? And where can I find him on like Wikipedia?
ReplyDeletehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dudu_(footballer,_born_1939)
DeleteHey Narathorn,
ReplyDeletedo you speak About Chico Aramburu? But he is born in 7th january 1922? Whas he really that good???
He is on focus : He is named in Brazil Football Hall of Fame. I see all names in Brazilian football hall of fame are big names and generally included in top 50 players ever in their own position (Not for only Vava, Taffarel and Zagallo in my list) so this could imply some of his level. He and Danilo were the famous players in Vasco team won 1948 South American club championship but Chico score no goal in this tournament.
Deletee is best player for Vasco in 1943 and 1953 (Shows he was outstanding in early 1940s as well). He scored all four goals in final round of 1950 World Cup.
As his footage is rarely found, I source some information about his skills
"Left wing with a lot of speed, brave and with great vision of the game and kicking hard with both feet"
hey narathorn,
Deletein world football historic center you ranked the 50 all time greatest footballers.
is it possible to expand this ranking of the greatest 100 with classifications or could you at least the next 50 just in order.
51
52
...
that would be great.
I prefer not expand as for the reason ranking players from different position is with a too high variation. Anyway, this is a current list by approximation.
Delete51. Xavi Hernandez
52. Jairzinho
53. Dragan Dzajic
53. Daniel Passarella
55. Paul Breitner
56. Teofilo Cubillas
57. Luis Figo
ok that persuades me
ReplyDeletedante is a central defender
ReplyDeleteDon't you think Marquinhos already deserves a spot in Positional ranking for central defenders? He already has at least 5 really good seasons and in my opinion has already done more for PSG and Brazil than Ricardo Gomes respectively.
ReplyDeleteI would give a spot to João Miranda and Juan Silveira dos Santos as well. Apart from the World Cup title, I really cannot see their career or skills being worse than Marcio Santos'.
Requiring at least 3 domestic international-class seasons. From 2018 to date, counted as 2.5 qualified domestic seasons of him, I'm not sure he should have qualified for another season in 2015 - 2016, Dbscalcio gave him 6.73 which is a bit too low for international-class (In 2018 he get only 6.71 but being named in French Ligue best XI and I think the rating between the two seasons might not be standardized)
DeleteWhat is your standard for international class and world class in DBS Calcio for the French league? I mean, what is the minimum average required for both classes.
DeleteSorry for very late reply, I was very busy. As I approximate, rating above 6.5 to 7.2 is qualified as international-class, Above 7.2 is World-Class.
DeletePhoto of The Marcelo is the Junior (Jenílson Ângelo de Souza)
ReplyDeleteWhat about putting Firmino in the positional ranking?
ReplyDeleteI added him already,Thanks.
DeleteMauro Ramos is above Edinho in the ranking, but Edinho is above Mauro Ramos in the photos. Which is correct?
ReplyDeleteMauro Ramos should be higher.
DeleteMazinho? He was a starter in the 1994 World Cup team, played in Italy and later become a legend of Spanish football
ReplyDeleteHe is a great consistent and teamwork player but I saw he was too smooth in style of play.
DeleteYou have Botafogo and Napoli as Casemiro's clubs, while indeed it should be São Paulo and Real Madrid :)
ReplyDeleteI'd like to suggest Marco Antônio for positional ranking (left-back). Twice best left back of the Brazilian League according to Placar with 2 different clubs. He was Everaldo's back up in 1970 (only 19 years old) and Marinho Chagas' back up in 1974. He has 39 caps for his country, which is impressive considering he played in the 70s.
ReplyDeleteI think it is logical to accept competitiveness of Marco Antonio under such a high contention circumstance with Marinho.
DeleteIs Antonio Carlos far to Enter positionnal ranking. There is two Paulo Isidoro in positional ranking as playmaker

A more extensive positional ranking of the Brazilians can be extract from https://www.xtratime.org/threads/conmebol-positional-ranking-all-time.486529/#post-22791765
Delete(dated on 31.12.2018)
Among other things, there are many players proposed by you .
That's a totally different list of this one here. I would say this one is much more accurate.
DeleteCláudio Adão , Waldemar de Brito , Petronilho de Brito , Dener , Cicinho , Marquinhos , Mazinho , Geraldo Assoviador , Aílton Gonçalves da Silva(WB) , Jair Gonçalves Prates , Ailton Lira da Silva(Santos) , Júlio Baptista , Heitor Marcelino Domingues , França , Biro-Biro , Nunes ( flamengo ) , Antônio Carlos Santos ( America ) , Gessy Lima , Etc
DeleteHello, whst website do you use as a source? These are amazing lists
ReplyDeleteUna domanda...se bebeto è valutato 78,5 mentre careca è78,2 perché bebeto risulta principe gold e careca regina bronzo?
ReplyDeleteBebeto 78,5 principe oro
ReplyDeleteCareca 78,2 regina bronzo
C è qualcosa che non quadra...
Gilberto Silva is definitely a better player than Casemiru. Casemiru is a good player, but he has benefited a lot from Luka Modric.
ReplyDeleteReinaldo debe ser Queen silver , por lo que se dice de el.
ReplyDeleteAdilio, Mazinho, Mario Sergio, etc. are missing from the list. Reinaldo and Ademir da Guia are silver queen at least
ReplyDeleteReinaldo and Ademir da Guia are silver queen at least
ReplyDeletePita ? Adilio ? Mazinho ? Zenon ? Marcelinho carioca ? Palinha ( cruzeiro ) ? Mario sergio ? Giovanni ? Reinaldo Queen (silver) , Ademir da guia Queen (silver)
ReplyDeleteReinaldo , It should be a minimum class Bronze Queen, maximum idol of Atletico Mineiro. Missing mentions of : Pita, after Pele , he was the best 10 for Santos until the arrival of Neymar for me it must be class Prince Gold. Adilio , Dica , Mario Sergio , Giovanni(Barza) , Evair , Canario , Zinho , long etc. special mention to Dener, who died very young, a boy with a talent equal to that of the phenomenon.
ReplyDeletePele. He is a crown class, said by many people who saw him play, from the days of the king until now with Messi, they say that he was the best in history.
ReplyDeleteIt's strange to see Luis Pereira here. For Da Guia there is no footage and you trust his legend but to me M.Ramos Belini Aldair Lucio T.Silva maye have been greater performer for Brazil.
ReplyDeleteIf we talk about the greatest Brazilians and not the greatest player of national team only I would do, played in Cruyff/Guardiola's style.
ReplyDelete----------------------Gilmar
----------Cafu-----Lucio------R.Carlos
------------------Zito-------Falcao
--------------Pelé------------------Zico
Garrincha-----------------------------Ronaldinho
-----------------------Ronaldo
If we concentrate only on national team I would put Dunga for Falcao, Rivaldo for Zico and Rivelino for Ronaldinho m.
What about adding Ederson Moraes, Marquinhos (who definitely deserves to be in the list),Miranda , David Luiz or Vinicius Junior?
ReplyDeleteMarquinhos doesn't deserve to be listed? I don't think he is worse than defenders like Harry Maguire who is listed with England.
ReplyDeleteAldair also won Copa America 1989
ReplyDeleteIs ramires a typo under the playmaker ranking or perhaps he should be under the defensive midfielder ranking.
ReplyDeleteRenato Gaucho >>>>> Chico
ReplyDeleteHi Naratorm, I am confused why Fernandinho is not on your site. He doesn't have a profile, and I also didn't see him in the 9x100 list for defensive midfielders. He was a vital player for Manchester City during the best era in their history, was one of the very best defensive midfielders in the world in an era that had a lot of good holding mids, and was also a big star for Shakhtar as a box-to-box before playing in England. I would certainly rate him ahead of Casemiro, and he should also be in the Postitional Ranking of the Eras list.
ReplyDeleteNo profile for Fernandinho? He's also missing from the 9x100 list.
ReplyDeleteWhat about Vinicius or Maxwell ?
ReplyDeleteMario Sergio debe estar en el ranking. gano libertadores y varias veces escogido en 11 del torneo igual Pita
ReplyDeleteJoaozinho filho in Offensive Lateral , Mario Sergio in Advanced Midfielder.
ReplyDelete😲 wow😲
ReplyDeleteThe best web page about football players history. Congratulations.
