Which players in world football are grossly overrated? (Episode 7)
1. Weah. If I talk about the previous 8 players, I still joke. Navia is a truly overrated player. Now there are many fans, when they see the selection of the best team in Milan's history, they will shout: Weah. I was afraid that others would not know that he was the president of Liberia. But among the strikers that Weah brought in during the Berlusconi era, let alone the top three, the top five will definitely not be able to turn him. Foreign media have once selected the most watery Golden Globe in the history of the Golden Globe Awards, and Kigan in 78 and Weah in 95 are undisputed high votes. Weah to become the first non-European Ballon d'Or winner is the right result. Throughout his career, he has included Monaco, Paris Saint-Germain, Milan. He can only be regarded as a good striker, and he is still 108,000 miles away from the superstar. Weah was at Milan and scored a maximum of 15 league goals in a season (95-96). The maximum combined goal score in a season is 18 ( 96–97 ) , which is incomparable to his predecessors Basten and Papan, as well as his successors Bierhof and Shevchenko. He's not a player at all who can carry the offensive line. And in the years when Weah was the heart of Milan's attack, Milan ushered in the darkest three years of Berlusconi's era, 11th in the league in 96-97 and 10th in the league in 97-98. Had it not been for the '98-99 season, the introduction of Bierhof and Helvig, Milan's centenary celebrations would have ended tragically. Weah's peak period cannot be said to be short, and he has seen any peak at all. The only long-distance goal that was blown for a lifetime. If I'm not mistaken, in all competitions, Weah has scored 47 goals in four and a half years at Milan. On average, it's almost 10 goals per season. I want to ask, at this level, what is the level of Serie A during the small world? Frankly speaking, among the strikers brought in during the Berlusconi era, he is definitely behind Basten, Sheva, Bierhoff, Inzaghi and Ibrahimovic. Even with Papan, Thomasson, and Patobi, he has no advantage to speak of. The only thing to be commended, apart from Berlusconi himself, is that he was the first person in Rosenelli to walk from CCTV5 to CCTV1.
2. Pirlo. Regarding Pirlo, his career was divided by 2002. Before 2002, Pirlo, playing the front back, that is difficult to say. In 1998, he moved to Inter as an Italian hopeful, and that season was a disaster for Pirlo and Inter. Pirlo made 18 appearances, with 0 goals and 0 assists. He then began his loan spell and Inter never used Pirlo in official competitions again. After a monster upgrade in Brescia and Regina, in 2001, Milan recruited him with 12 million to partner Rui Costa. But the effect is not good. Milan was fourth in the league that season. This led to the arrival of Rivaldo and Seedorf in the summer of 2002. It's nice to say, call 4 10s. In fact, Pirlo is the last one in the pick, Milan wants to sell Pirlo, but what can be bought is not worth it, and what can be seen cannot be bought. Then there is the classic front waist and rear. This is also purely Ancelotti's dead horse as a living horse doctor. Albertini, the team's vice-president, was dumped to Atletico and Redondo, who had high hopes, remained half-dead. In the Milan squad, only Gattuso and Ambrosini, two rough brothers, can play at the back. These two interceptions are definitely more than enough, but it is absolutely difficult to let them lead the offensive and defensive transition. Pirlo had no position in the front court, and the only way out was to move the position back, but he didn't expect to play right. But frankly speaking, Pirlo's style of play is too bad for teammates. He must be guarded with a knife. In Milan is Gattuso, and when Gattuso's form declines, only the next striker can be Ambrosini, which is the origin of the Christmas tree formation. In the Italian national team it is De Rossi and at Juventus it is Marchisio. Without these guards, I want to ask, which Great God Coach dares to use Pirlo? A brother once discussed with me that Pirlo had a lot of running distance per game and was not bad defensively. That's pure. Pirlo's defensive problem is not his attitude, his defensive attitude is very positive, but his defensive selection and timing selection are simply rubbish. Take Istanbul night, for example, except for the first goal. Reeser had little to do with him on the wing. Gattuso committed a foul in the box in order to wipe Pirlo's butt. And Gerrard's long-range shot was also a defensive misposition for Pirlo. So there is no pure sapper type back partner in the team, and Pirlo is definitely not useful. A so-called technical back, like Pirlo, is not replicable. He can only be the only piece of history.
