Worldwide, in any field, ranking is always a public very happy to discuss a thing. Of course, the football world is no exception. Recently, the well-known authority media "442" on the history of the football world's top ten stars, and separate out the specific ranking.
No. 10: Ronaldo the Alien. There is no doubt that as the "first love of football" of many old fans, Carlo's name can be said to be known by everyone. His career is even more legendary and brilliant. He has played for Barcelona, Inter Milan, Real Madrid and Milan four giants successively, and won many championship trophies including Europa League, European Cup Winners' Cup, Intercontinental Cup and La Liga. In an even more storied international career, Ronaldo helped Brazil win the World Cup twice, won the Ballon d 'Or twice and the World Player of the Year three times.
Number nine, "Galloping Major" Puskas. Even if you haven't heard of the legend, you know that the FIFA Goal of the Year award is named after Puskas, which is enough to give him the status. hot news.As a national hero of Hungary, Puskas led the national team to the Olympic gold medal and the World Cup runner-up. He also had a brilliant club career, helping Real Madrid win three Champions League titles and five La Liga titles. He is also the sixth highest scorer in the history of Real Madrid with 242 goals.
Number eight, "football emperor" Beckenbauer. In the whole history of world football, only a handful of people have been crowned Kings, and he is the most famous. The superstar who invented the "free man" game won two Ballon d 'Or awards and helped Bayern win the Champions League three times in a row. What's more, Beckenbauer is only the second superstar in history to win the World Cup as a player and coach.
Number seven, the "fifth Beatle" Best. Speaking of gifted talents, except Maradona, Pele, Messi and others, Best can definitely be compared with the above several people. At the age of 22, he won the Ballon d 'Or and European Footballer of the year, a moment of boundless fame, but also led Manchester United to win the league championship twice. He is listed as one of the "holy three players" in the history of the Manchester United team. Sadly, his subsequent career was plagued by alcohol and excess, and his lack of discipline led him to reach far below expectations, but he was undeniably England's best player.
Number six: Johan Cruyff. Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi come to mind, but back in the 1970s, it was Beckenbauer and Cruyff who invented the term. As the greatest star in Dutch history, Cruyff has won three consecutive Champions League and three gold goals. As a coach, his cross-century football concept is regarded as the "godfather" by Barca, which has a huge influence on the whole football world that is difficult to match by later generations.
Fifth, "Zizou" Zidane. Once you have said the Emperor, once you have said the saint, then you have to say Zizu. How great was Zidane's playing career? World Cup, European Championship, European Champions League, European Super Cup, Intercontinental Cup, La Liga, Serie An all won; Ballon d 'Or, Footballer of the Year, Best of Europe, World Cup Ballon d' Or. How great is Zidane's managerial career? The first coach of the year to win the Champions League three times in a row, he won 11 trophies in his first four years in charge. France's first ever superstar, Zinedine Zidane, deserves it.
Fourth, Pele, the "king of the ball". We don't need to say enough about the greatness of this name. In the long history of modern football, Pele is the first superstar who can be called the king of the game, and the only player in history to win the World Cup three times. Although Pele has never played in Europe in his career, this has not affected his worldwide popularity and his dominance in football. Although Pele passed away on December 29, 2022, he will always be remembered for his glorious past and honors.
Third place, "CR7" Ronaldo. Finally, we have a living legend on our list. You may not know their president, you may not know their capital, but you do know that Portugal has produced a soccer superstar in Cristiano Ronaldo. Ronaldo's influence extends far beyond the sporting world, where he has become a role model for countless children. Five Ballon d 'Or awards, two World Player of the Year awards, four European Awards of the Year, five Champions League titles, four Club World Cup titles and the title of the game's all-time leading scorer are all too flashy. Now 37, Ronaldo has left mainstream football for Saudi Arabia. "It was a noisy road down the hill, but this time, he won't be looking back."
Second, "God" Maradona. Even those who know nothing about football know a thing or two about Maradona's name. He is the eternal god of football in Argentina and the undisputed king in the hearts of fans. Although his career has been somewhat tarnished, although he has never won the Ballon d 'Or the Champions League, but the World Cup, four times Argentina's best of the year, is enough to prove his strength. Today, the man is gone, but Maradona's legacy will never be lost with the passage of time.
Number one, Leo Messi. Although many people do not agree with this ranking, although many people still think Messi is not in the same league as Pele and Maradona, after winning the World Cup, Messi has been hailed as the third generation of "king of the ball". Whether he is a "system player" or a "weak mental attribute", Messi's career has been perfect, with seven Ballon d 'Or wins and numerous trophies as proof of his brilliant career. As for Messi's place in history? That's for posterity to judge
