"French Football"'s 100-year best team shortlist caused an uproar, after all, the "god-level operation" of turning Pele into a midfielder is incomprehensible to many people. The 85-year-old Barca veteran Luis Suarez Miramontes also participated in the discussion of the selection, and as the winner of the early Ballon d'Or, Miramontes briefly criticized "French Football" for going astray in the award: "I thought that they would stop presenting awards this year and rectify the bias of this award. However, they rushed to come up with the best team selection in modern football, and there were too many underconsidered points. Now that the judging has been made, the star has something to say: "Leo (Messi) is the chief striker in football today, I admit this. But in the Dream Team I chose Ronnie (Ronaldo). ”
Why does Miramontes consider Messi to be the active chief striker? The elderly celebrity said that he was not "old and confused", each era had different requirements for stars in various positions, and in his era of playing football (50s and 60s), there was an old term called "inner front", and the duty of the two strikers was to score goals, no matter what way they used, they were to send the ball to the goal. Since the red and yellow card rules had not yet been born at that time, and even the substitution system did not appear, technical players could only stick to the game when they were injured. So among Miramontes' contemporaries, the technical conditions are not necessarily the best, but their physical conditions must be "wrestler level" players, and by the 21st century, the forward has completed the technical transformation, Messi has the best technology, he is the chief striker.
Leo has a strong ability to control the ball, although he is not tall enough, his header is not bad, and his high-altitude ability is acceptable. His left and right feet are so well balanced that it's almost impossible to see which one his back foot is, and his shooting accuracy is the highest of any current striker, so he's the chief striker. Miramontes explained that in today's football standards for attacking players, Messi is the first to be the first with impeccable skill. So why did the elderly celebrity choose Ronaldo in the Dream Team? Because "aliens" are the ones who change everyone's definition of a striker! 'When Ronnie played at Barca, I felt like he was the one who changed the definition of the arrow man, but his injury was a pity.
Of course, the elderly celebrity also stressed that he did not mean that Da Luo must be higher than Messi, because the two still belong to the striker of different eras, and the position is not the same - Ronaldo is a pure arrow figure, even if the position of Da Luo in the "Luo Luo Combination" stage is slightly retreated, he still has not left the forward line. When playing at Eindhoven, the "aliens" used to dribble through the midfield and finally pass the goalkeeper. Miramontes sees this as an example of changing the definition of a striker, as before that, only Maradona had been able to dribble the ball and scored several goals in a row, but the old horse was an attacking midfielder. So the Barca veteran would say that in the Dream Team, he chose Ronaldo.
Although Da Luo is the best player in football for the century selected by Miramontes, he knows that The French Football's routine of choosing stars may not be so simple - although the magazine does not fully focus on honors from the list of defenders and midfielder candidates, but the players selected are basically excellent in both the national team and the club. This may also be the reason why Cruyff did not enter the best midfield candidate: the football saint had the experience of retiring from the national team and did not have a good relationship with the Dutch coaching staff at that time, which was a "big taboo" in the official awards. Otherwise, the author can't think of the reason why Cruyff, as the midfielder who started the era of the system, lost the best midfield candidate in the century-old football.
Also from Miramontes's point of view, Ronaldo and Messi have no problem becoming dream team candidates in terms of technology, but Barca's top players in the league and the Champions League data is impeccable, of course, his national team data is also quite strong, but he does not have the World Cup and the Copa America, which may affect the final evaluation. In the list of defenders and midfielders, the author also found that most of the stars have Hercules Cup or European Cup bonuses. However, Da Luo has some deficiencies in the club's honours, of course, this is also due to his long-term injury problems in his prime age. Looking at the candidates that have been announced, most of the stars who play in Europe's major leagues have Champions League champions.
