    People forget that Ronaldinho was the last player to score and assist more than +10 in a season for AC Milan since the arrival of Rafael Leao. Even when he was considered past his best he was still the best player on the pitch for Milan in many a game. Like when he destroyed Juventus in 2010, he finished the 09/10 season with 12 goals and 18 assists, which is incredible, and not even Rafael Leao has come close to matching that.

Ibra maybe more of a discussion, if you have a team filled with stars Ibra is probably not the first choice, if you have a solid team Ibra is the one that will elevate it most, but Ibra works in a lot more set ups than Ronaldinho, Ibra even was a good winger despite hating to play wide.

    as a werder bremen fan, this video made me nostalgic. we really had an absurd streak when it came to offensive midfielders in the 00's and early 2010's. micoud was one of the best players in the bundesliga at his peak, and after he left, he was replaced by diego, who back then was seen as a huge risk, but turned out to be one of the best number 10s in the world at werder. unfortunately, his peak coincided with kaká's peak, so he never really got the chance to play for brazil's national team. diego then went on a way too cheap transfer to juventus and was replaced by mesut özil and marko marin, who unfortunately plummeted hard after leaving bremen but was heralded as the "german messi" at werder. marin then left for chelsea for another bargain fee, and in return we got a 21 year old belgian talent on loan from them, whose name was kevin de bruyne

    Müller is technically so much better than people realize. He looks lanky and wooden, yes. To those that do not see him often enough, it feels like the balls just drop into place for him by pure luck and chance. The way he just plucked that one out of the air, chest-high, with an outstretched leg, looking like a marionette crafted by a kid... if that was intentional, he'd have the powers only Ibrahimovic has! BUT! He's been doing this, since, forever. Yes, he knows exactly what he's doing! His first touch is hellishly amazeballs - no the ball he takes on doesn't land where you expected it, but it lands EXACTLY where the Raumdeuter wanted it, in his stride, taking out the flummoxed defender in the same way as the TV spectator. He does this. All the time. Perhaps that's his best trait of all - fooling the world into believing he was not technically gifted, when everything that happens around him is WHAT HE MAKES HAPPEN.

    Thanks for commenting this, now I don't have to. Müller has an exeptional technique by normal footballing standards in any top 5 league, he's just getting compared to the best ballers in history more often, most of them being quite flashy as well. He is also quite the normal guy with a good sense of humor and a master of handling the press in his interviews. Fun fact, he and his wife own a stud where you can buy horses and even horse semen lol. He also has a noteable presence on instagram showing him taking care of other animals too. He's not like other footballers investing in things they don't really care about just for monetary gain, he seems to really have a passion in that regard.

    I think that only Messi could rival him when we are talking about the control of the ball, but the difference is that Silva position relied much more on the control so he showed off his skill in this department more often than Messi. As Manchester City fan I was against signing Silva, I was afraid he will be stomped, trampled and crushed by other players, but with just that unbelievable control he was able to stay on his feet. While both Kevin de Bruyne and David Silva are attacking midfielders, both are brilliant they are completely different. KdB is a visionary with superb passing skills, while Silva works best as pressing attractor, forcing opposing team to press him with two or three players, crating open space and giving the ball away when he made the opposing team wide opened.

    Attacking midfielder as a role has evolved dramatically over time. While ozil Bruno KDB are all attacking midfielder but very different in the way they operate. Attributes needed to play in a position is very different. Goalkeeper are expected to make good passes and wingers to track back always in defence. This change has been accelerated in post 2000 era. A good keeper in 2020 will be different from even his 2005-8 counterpart.

    Kaka also won it all, when compared with KDB and Muller. And he did all of this while being the best player on the team and the ballon d'or. Muller was never the best player on Bayern's winning seasons, neither was KDB. During City's treble run, people still argue if Haaland or KDB was the best player. And since City never managed to win the UCL with KDB, before Haaland came, I differ to say that Kaka is levels above KDB. Also i'm very subjective because i watched Kaka play during his prime, but he was absolutely amazing during 2004-2009, he would win games all by himself, something KDB or Muller rarely or never achieved.

With the other players, when they do something wonderful, you'd go, "How did he do this!" While with Silva, it's, "How did he think of this" He is still my favorite EPL player to date❤

He's criminally underrated and for me personally is in my best of 21st Century team. Pretty devastated to see him lower than Özil and Kaka, who - though arguably having the more impressive peak - has not been as constantly impressive.
