In the hearts of fans in the world, there is always a relatively large controversy. If you say pele and Maradona are both champions, you won't say anything, after all, they were both named "the best players of the 20th century" by FIFA in 2001. But if someone says that Maradona is the only king of the ball, there will always be people who stand up against it.
In fact, there is nothing wrong with saying so. One is that the radish cabbage has its own love, and the other is that these two ball kings actually have their own outstanding contributions. The reason why people will say that Maradona is the only ball king is mainly due to the affirmation of Maradona's strength.
"Wolf King" Totti once said: "The best player ever? What a stupid question. There is no answer other than Maradona and Bailey. The hard word is Maradona. ”
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="46" > Bailey – a symbol of influence over generations</h1>
Maradona, who was exactly 20 years younger than Pele, faced more competitive pressure than Pele at the time, but through his outstanding talent, with the help of television and other media, he more intuitively left an indelible impact on the minds of fans.
And as an early outstanding black player, Pele's influence is more reflected in the development of football from all over the world.
This is one of the reasons why two "Best Players of the 20th Century" were awarded that year. The influence of the two people is completely different, and now fans are more likely to see Maradona's miraculous operations through television, and put Maradona in the first place. Therefore, maradona's best player is voted through the fan network.
But to say so does not disparage Bailey's influence. Any fan knows in their hearts that Pele doesn't just prophesy. His state at his peak is now a dazzling presence.
At the age of 11, he was discovered by the former Brazil international, and at the age of 17, he put on the national team jersey and has since become the rising star of the Brazilian team. Brazil won the world championship for the first time at the 1958 World Cup.
After that, he won two World Cups with Brazil, becoming the only player to win the World Cup three times, and allowing Brazil to keep the Remit Cup forever.
Although Pele "helped" Gordon Banks complete the "Save of the Century", the "most thoughtful man" was also unfortunately shot at the goalpost. But this kind of mistake can not hide Pele's outstanding contributions and achievements, in addition to leading the Brazilian team through the thorns, he also scored 1283 goals in his career, becoming the first person in history.
However, due to the communication conditions at that time, in fact, many fans only heard Pele's name when they first watched the ball, until he was very good, but may not have seen too many Pele games. And with the blossoming of international football in the future, the competition in the Pele era is actually not so fierce in comparison.
However, this does not mean that Pele is not worthy of the name, on the contrary, the reason why countless players are willing to watch football and even become players is influenced by Pele, and Pele is more like a symbol and symbol in people's minds.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="89" maradona > – a talented player who shook the world</h1>
Unlike Pele, Maradona's title of "Ball King" is less "official" and more atmospheric. If Bailey is a glittering trophy, Maradona is more like an artistic graffiti painted on the streets. When Maradona became famous, he planted seeds in the hearts of the first people who came into contact with football, just like Pele in that year.
However, due to the further spread of football around the world, this kind of sub will naturally be more and more widely "buried" than Pele originally had.
This is also one of the reasons why Maradona is still called a par with Bailey by countless people. Because this statement is mostly based on its own subjective inference, for them, Maradona's influence is relatively greater.
The reason why Maradona is sought after by fans all over the world is naturally inseparable from his amazing talent. Maradona was exposed to football with his father at the age of 3, appeared in the newspaper at the age of 11, was active in the Argentine First Division at the age of 15, and represented the national team before the age of 17. His speed of fame is no less than Pele's, and even the two can be said to be surprisingly similar.
By 1978, the 18-year-old Maradona had become argentina's youngest top scorer in the First Division with 26 goals. In 1986, at the peak of his career, Maradona led Argentina to the final of the World Cup in Mexico, where he won 3-2. Maradona, on the other hand, won the Ballon d'Or officia World Cup with five goals and five assists.
Maradona is not only a good player, but also a qualified coach. In 2010, in the South African World Cup South American qualifiers, Maradona withstood various controversies, not only in the warm-up match, but also led Argentina to victory over Uruguay, successfully entered the South African World Cup.
Although in the quarterfinals, they lost to Germany, Maradona's coaching ability can not be said to be a mess. He was also questioned for reusing Palermo, but Palermo managed to kill him with a header from 38.9 meters in the rain, the farthest header in argentine league history, and it turned out that Maradona did have a unique vision.
< h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="90" > the technology gap between two people</h1>
In Pele's time, the rules and average technical level were relatively backward compared to Maradona's era, after all, football was gradually improved and improved through the efforts of generations of players.
One of the reasons FIFA promoted the red and yellow card system in 1966 was because Pele was repeatedly and even shoveled. In the Maradona era, it changed from three yellow cards to one red card, to two yellow cards for one red card. Thus better preventing malicious infringement and further protecting the safety of players.
In addition to the rules, Maradona and Bailey, as two generations, live in a different average strength of the ages. In pele's era, the 244 formation that was commonly used at the beginning would even put 5 forwards. And because there is no red card system, everyone basically focuses on offense, and even defense is full of gunpowder in the current view.
Some people in modern times would say that Pele's defense was not good, but in those days, Pele's defense could also give at least 70 points. And for the Brazilian team, which is already focused on attack, Pele's tactical focus is bound to focus more on attack. In this way, people will recognize Pele's offense, but misunderstand his defensive ability.
You know, Bailey's physical condition is beyond ordinary people, speed, strength, and explosion are among the best at that time, and his left and right feet are very balanced, and his offensive means are fully diverse.
At the same time, his ball quotient is also very high, not only can he find the right opportunities, but also dedicates a lot of amazing imaginative god operations. This kind of person, the defense is certainly not so "watery".
However, objectively speaking, Pele in that relatively "primitive" era, mainly through its own excellent physical advantages, led Brazil to play a dazzling record. Maradona, on the other hand, is technically superior, despite his equally excellent physical condition.
Although there was a red card in maradona's era, the back tackle was not yet prohibited, so maradona often jumped a little when he passed, which was actually to prevent being shoveled from behind.
Speaking of people, Maradona's five-man goal in the 1986 World Cup in Mexico was not only a feat, but also the best goal in the history of football.
Because of Maradona's technical strength, also in the Mexico World Cup, after Maradona scored with the "Hand of God", opponents would only say that it was inappropriate for him to do so, but no one would say that Maradona was not strong and that behind this matter was actually the tension between the United Kingdom and Argentina at that time.
And Maradona, in addition to its outstanding offensive ability, has excellent ball quotient and assist capabilities. Speaking of which, it is necessary to mention the well-known "assist of the century".
In the 1990 World Cup in Italy, Argentina was still relatively weak compared with Brazil, and the pace of the game was almost firmly controlled by Brazil, as if Argentina had lost. However, in the 81st minute, Maradona dribbled the ball from midfield, using a delicate dribble to shake three people in a row, and then passed through the three people with another foot, successfully passing to the "Son of the Wind" Caniggia, and the two tacitly cooperated to win a key point.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="91" >why is Maradona the only ball king? </h1>
For this question, in fact, combined with the above analysis, the answer has been basically obtained. Bailey's influence and ability are beyond reproach, but due to the factors of the times and the environment, in fact, his influence is more as an "ancient god of war". If he had the current rule system at that time, I believe he would have shined even more. However, he did not have the opportunity to show such a thing.
In the Maradona era, due to the relatively perfect system, a talented player like Maradona can have a better space to play and let the world know him more comprehensively. Coupled with the popularity of media such as television, Maradona's influence has also radiated around the world.
Later, people would always compare Pele and Maradona, and even move out videotapes of the two. In fact, this practice is as slightly absurd as "Guan Gong Zhan Qin Qiong". Comparing the two generations undoubtedly ignores many objective factors and even negates the contributions made by outstanding players.
Many people watched the video and felt that Pele's defense was not good, and even began to use the imperfect system of the "ancient era" to question Pele's ability, thus forcibly elevating Maradona's influence. Therefore, some people will say that Maradona is the only king of the ball.
However, there are also a group of people who say that Maradona is the only king of the ball, and their reason is not simply to "step on one and hold one" to praise Maradona, but after objective analysis, the evaluation is obtained. Maradona gained greater stage display techniques and allowed more people to devote themselves to football. Both in technology and contribution, this statement is very reasonable for people after the Maradona era.
