Players with great skills and personality

I remember it was the best league in late 80s & early 90s too.

Same here

@imronaldo1985 that could b a reason. Serie A had the big stars, like Van Basten, Gullit, Maradona, Matheus, Baggio, Maldini etc. just to name a few & that continued through the 90s. So they had some great teams. In Latin America we didn't hear much about the English league back then, until more South American players went there.

@imronaldo1985 I think it's many factors. Great players all went there, Spain has had a peak of their own around 5-10 years ago. Now it has shifted to the UK. There's some cyclicality perhaps. Also, it's a lot about money. Italian teams back then were the big spenders. English teams could not match the salaries and fees. Italian teams built a huge castle spending uncollateralized worthless Liras, money they did not really have. English teams instead favoured organic growth. Eventually, the Italian bubble crashed. Lazio, Rome, Parma, Fiorentina, Napoli all faced bankruptcy of some sort. Either that or a haircut was given on their huge debt pile. They had to dissolve teams and fire sale players. Juventus, Inter, and Milan had issues of their own and had to cut debt and spending for many years. Meanwhile the UK quietly grew and is reaping the benefits of the way they chose to do things decades ago. (The system disclosure requirements certainly had something to do with it as well). Italian teams today are investing and Serie A is slowly coming back. The growth now is more organic and transparent. Teams are doing better financially. But to reach the top again, if ever, will take time.

Paolo Kowalski anche io, da juventino. Poi qualche anno prima anche un'altro giocatore talentuoso era il mio idolo. Ivan De La Peña al suo esordio al Barcellona

Y como venis con el futbol?

And Milito

T Amazin he was on about £200.000 a week back then

He is a sniper

And he is from Uruguay, URUGUAY NOMA CARAJO 🇺🇾🇺🇾🇺🇾

I am one of them

@gogolizi nope, not at all

@gogolizi ronaldo doesn't come even close to recoba s skills. About his mindset that's another story.

@@diegosotomiranda4107 agree , Recoba is more skillf than C.ronaldo

Muhamad Riza El Hakim we would be sayin’: “Messi, who?”

Sounds like Riquelme to me

Uno más del montón , un jugador sobre valorado

@@arturoperez-oficial1129 Pobre bobo

Tendrías que haber visto el golazo que le hizo a penarol para dar vuelta un clásico en los descuentos, Recoba es bolso y fue uno de los mejores jugadores que pasaron por Nacional, Hizo feliz a la mayoría del país incontables veces

He was the reason Morrati didnt sell the club earlier.

How he can not be? He scored two goals on his debut, from 0-1 to 2-1, replacing Ronaldo da lima at the game last 10 minutes, who was also performing his debut.

F¥€K JUV

F¥€K JUV

Juninho e Recoba foram os meus favoritos.

Sanad Juventus how ‘bout Juninho Pernambucano?

recoba n mihajlovic for free kick :)

Best Uriguayan player of all time is Enzo Francescoli

@javier josefides of course. Don't forget he's playing in Serie A where it is harder to score. Plus, he's not a striker.

@@thatmichiganguy no chance... suarez has succeeded in every league he played in. Don't be silly, Suarez is miles ahead of him

Messi is the uruguayan all time best

Well in terms of trophies, goals,Suarez is miles ahead no doubt, he is deffinetly an incredible striker,it's my subjective opinion that Recoba is better just because i enjoyed players and the game 10,15 or 20 years ago more then i do now. Also i forgot about Francescoli, great player.

I wasn't born in the 90s but I agree when you watch vedios of this players in this Era you feel like they play for passion and love of the game nowadays they care about money more than football

Nowadays they are athletes , more efficient , consistent but they lack the silkiness and individual brilliance .

They killed the game by imposing us players like Messi or Penaldo. All business. Before football was quiet and the only judges were the people...the Rooney,Reus,Hummels,Isco,Bale,Hazard,Thiago Silva,Alisson Becker..deserved more recognition IMO

No.5 Esteban Cambiasso.

Man, the same exact same story here. Nice.

Toldo Córdova Materazzzi Zanetti Stankovic Veron Davids Kily Adriano Vieri Recoba

Sergio Conçeicao

Ronaldo Adriano Ibrahimovic

He scored a hat-trick against Inter when on loan at Venezia.

More like 3 goals over the last 5 minutes. And a post hit by Recoba as well. And to think our best forward at the time, Adriano, had been substituted because he was having a poor game...

3goals in 6mins

are you sure its 2005? that was the first game of the season, it was also Ronaldo's first game for Inter.

I remember that too! I was celebrating like 15 years ago when I saw that haha

@@afrobian1 It was january 9th, not september

Like talent sure him and moscardelli

Definitely not underrated 😂

Injuries limited his development and performance so much

Only fools underrated him...

Only an idiot could underrate chino

But sadly he didnt play much , he was always on the bench with mancini

@@gilveber2929 he is one of the greatest wastes talents in football

@@giovanniperrino9406 i agree , sames goes with Okocha, Ben Arfa, Stojkovic, etc .... wasted genius

almost hit n°22´s face. That would have ruined the perfect goal, as well as his face

Ni en segunda jugaría hoy en día

@@rubenww9075 jaja que ignorancia, solo con la pegada que tenía jugaría en cualquier lado..

@@brunotano4990 todo para ti,

@@rubenww9075 hoy en día prácticamente sería el dueño de la liga

@@juandocampo4026 para gustos colores q diría aquel, para mi no está ni entre los 50 mejores de la historia por ser generoso

Inter once had him and pirlo in the same team ,scary

Yeah in reality he is known for always being lazy if it comes to training, many people said that he is really great footballer but just not fit with athlete routines, his skills in other hand are top notch..

like real life jajajaja

You didn't know how to play him.

The conar McGregor of football.

A constant starter was scoring from every plus had the Rambone Early Pro evo day a Favourite

He likes to be in the picture😁😁😁👍🇺🇾

Why? Any special cause?

Aku malah suka pake 11 gegara nedved padahal interisti 😂

Me tooooo

U had trezegol in 20 for juve

i always saw Kewell as the australian version of recoba

Man kewell was one of my favorite players, underrated like recoba both talented and deadly left footers

When Recoba was substituted in 05 I knew we would go through

I remember he tried a shot from the half way line just a few minutes in, and I knew he was going to be trouble.... but then they lost that first game.

also when he humiliated entire Lecce side and scored in the empty net

Absolutely I remember like yesterday

why are we all speaking english if we are italians

@@avaindoit so that others can understand and look for those goals... thank you!

@@juliogalvao7560 wise word lads

GRAN VERDAD QUERIDA, GRAN VERDAD...😎👍💙🇺🇾

Genios del fútbol.... Un país con tan pocos habitantes, exportador nato de futbolistas, es algo de admirar.

Ronaldinho

@@attackontitan5696 bravo r r r ecoba iquelme onaldinho

Recoba an Riquelme were flair players... Zidane was a match winner an far more consistent.... Zidane wins you a lot more games than there two...

ajc brum zidane is trash

@@am32ireland lol Riquelme wasn't a flair player. He was true playmaker. But if you had him you HAD to make the entire side play around him. There was no room for implementing different systems. Also had temperament issues

@array s he was you are probably too young to remember him.

LFC shankss he was also lazy. All around he’s a wasted talent.

More gifted than Suarez and Forlan... Recoba was the best Uruguay player

array s ask your father about Recoba

LFC shankss in pure footballing talent, yes, but overall Suarez is the better player

he was more than a fantastic left foot, aceleration, speed, creativity, technique...if he was more ambitious and less injured he could won lot of ballon dor

Don't forget Adriano as well, he was regarded as next best player at that time but sadly depression took away his passion...

Only if he is French

He had commitment but back then it was more greate players than to today that makes very difficult to win bolon d.or

Back then Ballon dor wasnt such high prestige like today
