Agree with this, at his absolute best he was on another level to anybody I have ever seen. Messi is an absolute genius but Ronaldinho was something else, it was like magic, it didn't even make sense what he was doing.
Come on man, those CBs back in the late 90s early 2000s had to deal with drogba, henry, torres, crespo, schevchenko, R9, david villa, totti, inzaghi, all legends of the game. Current CBs don’t know how easy they have it.
All amazing players, but Lewandowski, Suarez and Benzema are better than everyone in your list except Henry and R9. Haaland will definitely get in that list very soon as well. People always underestimate footballers who are still around.
I watch football since 1990 worldcup (born 1982) All great players had their time and you knew at that time he is the best of the world. 1. R9 Ronaldo - mid 90s - the first crazy speed Dribbler, i remember his time in Netherlands with 19 years old and played crazy. He was above all a couple years. And afther his injury you knew it still R9 - and yes 2002 he won with Barzil again the WORLD cup with the best brazilian team ever. 2.Zidane - from 1998 - 2002 - he was the best player. He controlled the game, nobody could get the ball from him and he was never selfish. 3. Ronaldinho - 2003 - 2007 or something he was the BEST, he came often from left wing but he was not a left wing he was a Nr. 10 - if you know Football you know what i mean. All players in his teams looked like his little cousins and he was the big cousin who played better than everyone. 4+5 = Messi + Cristiano, the BOTH GOATS. POST RONALDINHO TIME- They had several seasons with 40 - 50 goals just in the league, remembering Messi scoring several hattricks match after match. Before that we just saw that kind of statistics from Video games / football manager and couldn't imagine that we ever will see some like that. FOR ME Messi 51 % > Cristiano 49% more GOAT ;) because I love dribblers and Messi is a little bit more Successfull overall than Cristiano. Who will be next? Mbappe ?
It's true..... especially with strikers..... they are rare these days. Drogba, Torres, Suarez, Van Persie, Rooney, Tevez, Berbatov, Anelka...... versus what we have in the premier league today...... it doesn't compare.
Patric is very straight forward, Guti said exactly what patric talked about Guti said, in Trainings nobody ever challenged him on touches and passes, and never made a mistake in training.
Evra is completely right. Man Utd, Arsenal, Chelsea, Tottenham etc. can you say they have superstar players? Like Henry, Anelka, Vieira, Beckham, Van Nistelrooy, Cantona, Drogba, Terry, Lampard, Sol Campbell, Robbie Keane, Klinsmann... There are very good players don't get me wrong. But these current teams don't really measure up to their contemporary contemporaries.
Back in the 90s teams had at least one world class player. I remember Middlesbrough had a prime Ravanelli out of nowhere. Tottenham had Klinsmann. Southampton had Le Tissier. Chelsea had Vialli and Zola. Arsenal had Bergkamp. Sheff Wed had Di Canio.
Evra was right about Zuzzu. Some players are born winners and plays business football while some are specialist with contributions to the team. Ronaldinho still have no comparism in terms of magical entertainment while Okocha, Seedof come a distant close. Zuzzu & Pirlo were magical. The 2 Ronaldos are more of sheer energy, technic and self believes. Messi in his prime was a smooth criminal and we will never see another Messi again, I'm not his fan but a fan of football but that guy was unplayable and some of the stuffs he deed on the pitch can only be replicated in video game.
Seedorf played business football. Ronaldinho, Jay Jay Okocha, & Ariel Ortega were entertainers. Zidane is great in his own way but I’ll pay money to watch Dinho and Okocha.
Merci patrice I've been saying that forever. Football level went down. It's not normal that two men dominated the Football and had no competitions. Or barley ones
I still feel the media made it seem only two were playing. I mean, Messi has been on the receiving end of a 4-0 and that was against Origi and them. But he escapes scrutiny. Many top players graced the Ronaldo Messi era... There was Yaya Toure, Xavi, Bale, Suarez and many other performers.
The average football fan underestimate him. But just because of managers and great players (teammates and opponents) saying all the time that he is one of the best of all time, makes people realise that he was top top top
It is so special how every football legend rates him so highly, and says he's the one of the best that they played with or against, but random dudes from all over the world are running debates whether or not is he overrated , better than Gerrard, Lampard, etc. Scholes is in class with Zidane, Xavi, Iniesta, etc. Way above Gerrard and Lampard and all the others English midfielders.
4:10-5:33- as real as it gets. Premier League today imo is the best league and has been for a while, but its not great like back then. Well, football in general has gone down so much since 2010s. It was kept alive and exciting mainly because of the CR7 vs messi/ Real Madrid vs barcelona rivalries. But not much more than that. Nowhere near the amount of legendary players and legendary teams. And nowhere near being as competitve. Im talking football in general not just prem. Club level and national teams. 🤷♂️
Excellent Patrice, speaks truthfully and entertainingly. Presenter rather too full of himself (“Vidic was voted best defender ever”, really - evidence for that?)
Best 5 a side team would be Pep's Barca given how they dominated small spaces and no one could touch them. Pique - Busi, Xavi, Iniesta - Messi. Actually might make more sense to replace Pique with Busi and add Cesc in there.
I have been telling people that Ronaldinho is a player whose skills have always amazed those who watched him play and Evra has nailed it, I respect Zidane but come on Ronaldinho was something else.
And van dijk plays in the era of lewandowski, messi(who still won a few balon dors) mbappe n kane who all have score more goals than the players mentioned.
You see what Patrice said about Evra and Tevez being seen together who were ex team mates and won a UCL together and fetgie wouldn’t have it. Now we have rashford spending his summers with van dijk and training with foden, what a joke.
Many most the greats player in the world before and after but Zinedine Zidane is the high art of football,he's real maestro,legend with beautiful dribling,control,acrobat,passing,he's incredeble play when he got the ball and dribling look like see the perfect beautiful woman dance.god of allah give him great talent.Zidane the inpiration for who was watched on tv or directly.I miss someone like Zidane when play football.I think no one in the world can play like Zidane after the world finish
😂😂 He’s truthful and straightforward. I saw the snippet of this show on Facebook and came here to watch the full one because I want to hear him speak. We need him more on these shows.

But you got recognize the someone qualities even when you don't like him. with That said I think there were some defenders who were also better than him. Desailly, Thuram, Nesta, Canavaro, Puyol, and the most underrated defender I have ever seen, he is called Lucas Radebe.
Dude we all watched Rio and he was a top defender but he wasn’t as impressive as not being dribbled by any attacker or be top 3 in Balon d’or ranking . So take it easy with overrating players.
@@nascimentoarantestop 3 in balloon Dor is just against who was in that generation. Which year of Rio's career would you have wanted him to be top 3? Which of those years would VVD been in the top 3
@@collllllll I’m not sure what your argument is. No year in Rio’s career did he warrant top 3 of either FIFA player of the year or Balon d’or. VVD went against two monsters in Messi and Ronaldo.
Xavi and Casillas were very close in-spite of the bitter rivalry between Barca and Real Madrid. Fergie was being childish - rivalry isn’t equal to enmity.
We need Patrice Evra every week, he just brings more vibes to the table, Legend
Ronaldinho in his prime is the best player I've ever seem. He makes me want to cry with joy. Blessed by God
Lol he doesn’t even come close to Messi
@@Dannyyolooo you totally missed the point. Dinho was truly magical. I’ll comfortably choose him at his best over anyone and have no regrets.
R9 in his prime was the best . Brazilian Ronaldo is better than them 2 .

@@salomoharianja1096yes
6:29 Evra: it need to be another defender, you know what, I had to put Scholesy 😅
Scholes is simply the best midfielder I have ever seen ..

@@nascimentoarantes no seedorf ortega not entertained they are technical very good but not entertained like ronaldinho no way
Ronaldinho 🔥
Zizou was legendary
Vidic was a monster 👹 he was grt I chose him over rio 😅
I think the logic is in a five a side, you'd want a defender who's also very good on the ball
I'm an Arsenal fan. I've seen rio play many times at OT, rio could pass pin point anywhere on that pitch.
I knew he was gonna say Scholes 😄 🤣
Beautifully said. LEGEND!!!🫡
Football was way more serious back then and it showed in the quality of players.
Rio, Patrice is pure class & madness man!👌👌🔥🔥 He's a great story teller,...⭐
Zidane de playmaker we miss him
@1:34 seriously asking Ronaldinho versus Zidane?? you want to watch the Brazil vs France worldcup game, different class
You want to watch El Classico Nov 19, 2005 where Ronaldinho got standing ovation from Real Madrid fans? Dinho prime far above Zidane, period.

Different era, different generations. One generation took waaay, to serious and the other value football and live outside of football just as much.
