Cruyff Said Romário was the best striker he ever coached. Cruyff also Said that Romário wanted a break to go to Brazil for carnival, Cruyff gave him one condition: Score 2 goals, he scored 2 goals against Real Madrid in 20 minutes and asked to be replaced and said coach "the plane leaves in 1 hour..." Guys who does that???? Him. Off he went to get the plane. Some people don't really understand how lethal this guy was.

Guus Hiddink was coach at that time and was very pissed about that .So romario said coach dont worry how much shall i score 3? in 35 minutes he scored 3 goals and everyone would love him again. romario"s first touch was always perfect but the most deadly thing about him is that nobody would knew what he was gonna do. for me always the best striker

He might b small but oh boy he intimidated the bigger/biggest defenders..

Ronaldo and Romario in World Cup 1998 would be one of the greatest attack ever. The history missed this opportunity to see two GOATs together.

He was short, always appeared to be tired and looked like he couldn't be bothered, but fuck me, could he play! I'll never forget his first match in La Liga against Real Sociedad - he scored a hat-trick (all goals assisted by Guardiola) and the last one he controlled a long pass with his chest and without letting the ball bounce he lobbed it over the goal keeper from outside the box. He made it all look so easy and beautiful. He had incredible dribbling skills, but he seldom used them as usually a simple flick of the shoulder and a burst of acceleration was enough to leave defenders for dead. His classic finish was flicking the ball with the outside of his foot and in the opposite direction of his run, tricking goalies and defenders alike. Lob goals were also one of his specialities - I saw him lob the ball to the back of the net from impossible angles and ridiculous distances. Another image that will always stay with me was his opening goal against the 5-0 against Madrid - he did a 'cola de vaca' (first time I ever so someone pull that move) to get rid of Alkorta and then put the ball in the back of the net. Romario, together with Laudrup, the real Ronaldo, Figo and Messi, are the players I have enjoyed watching the most at the Camp Nou. I feel privileged.

I remember in 1994 me, Bayern fan, went to Mallorca. In-between the typical beach relaxation, hotel swimming pool and exploring the island one morning I went to a area called Cala Bona (I think) and played fußball with Spanish kids... everyone wanted to be Romario or Stoichkov. But Romario was beloved by the Spanish kids...who played incredible. I played as Libero at a club in Berlin and these kids only played in the streets...and they were incredible for their age. I was Bayern fan so my role model was Lothar Matthäus...great times. I'm just saying, every Spanish kid in Mallorca wanted to be Romario.

Romario did the possible and the impossible to bring the title that was HIS WC. He could play in another 3, but injuries in '90, '98 and the age in '02 were his bad luck. The only WC he reached healthy and ready, he won. BTW, I NEVER understood the preference for Careca in '90. Lazzaroni was indeed stupid. Careca was good, but wouldn't grease Romario's boots...

Im a psv fan , my dad is an ajax fan but the one player he told me the most about and admired the most as a kid was romario… romario is now my hero , proud that he’s a legend of my club ❤️🤍

A class Act! An artist at work. I had the fortune to watch him play in 1994 WC. His acceleration and change of speed in the penalty box was mind boggling.

It's pure joy and fun to see how he is so focused in putting the ball in the net. If it was acrobatic or just rolling the ball to the goal, he always chose the simplest way. That meaning the most guaranteed way of doing it, as soon as the gap opened, which he was so prompt to make it appear by himself. Since he had the pure finest brazilian football technique, he could take a magic trick out of the hat without any warning, and achieved to deliver some of the greatest moments in football. Pure state of art.

I saw Romario live in the summer of 1993 play one of his first games for Barça, a friendly against Ajax in the olympic stadium in Amsterdam. The match was won by Barça 2-4, Romario scoring the last 2 goals. In the first half he received a loud verrbal abuse from the Ajax fans but those went over in admiration and applause the second half. Memorable evening...

I feel he is a bit underrated in PES. Van Basten has a better overall card, or am I wrong? I watched both and, as much as Van Basten was great and complete, Romario´s technique is only equalled by 5 or 6 players in history. R9 was a better dribbler, but not a better striker than Romario or Van Basten, by the way.

It´s actually funny to read things like : "there are better trickers, dribblers, but he was the best finisher". Yes, he was the best finisher ever (alongside Gerd Muller). but he also was one of the most technical players ever. Many of Ronaldinho-Ronaldo style they copied from Romario, with the substancial difference that Romario usually did his tricks inside the box, as Cruyff used to say: ' He is the genius of the area, the genius of the tight spaces'. While Ronaldinho used to does his sombreros in the midfield, Romario used to did it inside the area as a resource to score. He had the best one touch I ever seen from a striker. With his one touch he even did not need to dribble past the defenders many times. A genius of the game, as great Cruyff used to say.

That's why when I make a comment about Romario being great inside of the box, I always qualify it by saying to not compare him to Inzaghi, Van Nistelrooy, or someone like that. I'd say no one is better than him near the penalty box, and that includes Messi, O Fenomeno, Ronaldinho, Pele, or Maradona. None of the players mentioned are better finishers than him, nor were they more technical. What I usually say--being that Ronaldo is my favorite player of all time--is that Ronaldo was a threat from inside of his own half, and that mostly has to do with athleticism. As a result of that, it was easier to stop starve Romario of possession. If I were to describe Romario to a youngster, I'd say that he was Aguero with the technical ability of Messi and the flair of Neymar. My favorite goal of his is the third goal of a hat trick he scored in his La Liga debut. He chested a pass from outside of the box and "volley-lobbed" the keeper without looking.

The best forward ever. What a player!

His acceleration is unbelievable.

O que mais impressionava no Romário, além da qualidade técnica absurda que ele tinha, era a frieza dele. Romário nunca aparentava o menor desespero em qualquer situação, diversas vezes ele estava cercado de grandes zagueiros e goleiros, e a frieza dele era tão grande que ele resolvia a jogada de forma tão simples como uma criança.

Genius level: great speed/explosion, skills, no weak foot, but IMHO what made him truly special were his awareness and creativity. Goalkeepers nightmare, he always knew where everybody was, all the time. He didnt smash the ball unless he needed to, pure class.

Possibly the greatest striker ever. Actually criminally underrated, did the impossible on a regular basis at the highest level. Almost alien ability to trick his marker and then get clean away from him

But I've seen the likes of Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, ... from Brasil, and the likes of Batistuta, Messi, ... from Argentina .... To me, with all due respect to all of them who've graced this wonderful game for decades, Romario remains by far the best allround player. I know Ronaldinho has scored some extraordinary goals, at times on his own too despite playing mostly in the position of a midfielder, Batistuta has been largely underrated despite his quite outstanding performances amidst the hype surrounded the likes of Maradona and Messi, and Ronaldo (from Brasil) had been one of the biggest names of the game from mid '90s to 2000s, the likes of Marco Van Basten, Roberto Baggio and Zinedin Zidane too had been worldclass players in their own right despite the latter two being mostly midfielders .... Still no one comes quite in par with this guy Romario as the title here too implies; "The Most Clinical Striker Ever ...." (in my mind, at least after '90s ...)....

I think he's VASTLY underrated. Imo he deserves top 3 (top 5 at worst honestly) when you rank the greatest Brazilians ever (let's limit to attackers and offensive mids, since it's harder to objectively compare other positions). However, you will see him out of the top 5 in many lists lol Him, Ronaldo, Pelé, Garrincha and Zico. This is a fair top 5. Imo, Neymar already deservers a top 5 but I believe we're only having a consensus if Neymar wins a World Cup for us, then Zico leaves the top 5*. But back to Romário, his spot won't and can't be changed anytime soon. He has done much more than Ronaldinho, Rivaldo and others. Edit: I would have loved to see Romário in a team like the modern day Manchester City. He would have eclipsed Aguero in every way possible and I'm not even being disrespectful to Aguero. It's just that Romário was far better. Too bad he played in the late 80s and early 90s + took some horrible career decisions. Just imagine if peak C. Ronaldo or Messi decided to join a Portuguese/Argentinian clube then returned to the major leagues just to play for a smaller club than Real Madrid/Barcelona... different times. Still, Romário deserves a lot of respect and more recognition imo (here in Brazil he's rated fairly I think). *Neymar will be our top scorer with good ratio; as our main player in WCs, he never really had a meltdown like Ronaldinho in 2006; our first ever gold medal as the protagonist, which is a big deal since we lost multiple times with great squads; may not ever win a WC, but then again, it's a team sport and Ronaldo had the likes of Rivaldo and Ronaldinho, and Zico had the 82 generation and was unlucky to miss the chance to beat France in 86; arguably the best of the decade other than Messi and Ronaldo (these two will retire as the top 2 scorers in football history and much more, so they don't count, I'm not talking about GOAT status for Neymar); holds multiple records in Europe; has the numbers to put him alongside Messi in terms of dribbling (eye test he's also incredible); "Joga Bonito" mentality; first to win both Libertadores and Champions League as the top scorer; most goals for Santos ever since Pelé's era and he left as a ~21 yr old, imagine what he would have done here if he spent as many years as Zico playing here; already at ~400 goals as a WINGER; unless his injuries ruin him, he's definitely ending his career with over 500 official goals, which hasn't been done by a winger (for comparison, most recent players to do so are Messi, Cristiano, Suarez, Lewa and Zlatan); good playmaker; etc.

Zico is the assist (and general) master that is underrated. And there is Michael Laudrup too who Romeria did play with at Barcelona.
