@xXAe0N .maradona had dribbling,skill,free kicks and pace.but not accelearation.ronaldo the brasilian culd ave been something but it was not meant to eb.
beautiful to watch, such absolute accuracy, it's unbelievable, especially the goal at 5.53, the angle and precision is spot on, how much would he be worth if he played today!!
I watched Zico in the 80's--before or since, I've never seen so many goalkeepers just *watch* free kicks enter the net--so many times their feet never moved, they just turned and watched the ball enter the corner. The kick was that perfect.
Zico: Unbelievable drive, totally goal-oriented. 100% fair. Whether striking or assisting, the most lethal player I ever saw. Not one bad game in his career. Not one year did he fail to lead in assists. To do more in that regard he wd have to score less...
Watch "Zico, o Pelé Branco", and you'll have an idea of what I'm talking about.
Poor people could watch him twice a week for many years. Toothless guys would embrace each other and jump up and down after a sequence of great Zico plays.
@Daniel96sj Are you serious? How can you compare Zico to Roberto Carlos? In Brazil Zico is the third soccer player everytime after Pelè and Garrincha ( and I'm not so much sure for Garrincha as second ). Granted, Roberto Carlos of course is a very big player and the best brazilian left lateral defender everytime... but Zico was head and shoulders better than Roberto Carlos, no doubt about this
@Daniel96sj I actually know both of them and the first they are very different. Zico preferred kick the ball with the inner part of the foot while Roberto Carlos is one of the most specialist of the three last finger shot. He shots with the outside of the foot, but in these type of shots he can't know where the ball exactly goes. Granted! Roberto Carlos is a professionist so he of course can send the ball where he wants, but Zico was precise at millimeter. ( follows)
@Daniel96sj So concluding, Zico which of course could kick the ball very hard, preferred the precision over the power of the shot, Roberto Carlos the power over the curve ( neverthless it's notorius all over the world the famous free kick versus France ). I suggest you to watch the Eder Aleixo free kick against Argentina in 1982 which producted the first goal by Zico. Eder could kick a LEATHER ball at the speed of 174.5. The free kick technique was the same used by R. Carlos (follows)
albeit Roberto Carlos can give more curl to the ball. Also Rivelino Roberto Dinamite and Claudio Branco knew how to take free kicks with the outside part of the foot. I also suggest you to watch the most difficult free kick in the football history. Please, watch Maradona free kick against Juventus in Juventus vs Napoli in 1985. He shot in Zico style. I'm pretty sure you found that easy, but I can ensure you that is not like that. I'm not polemic.
@staccatofiddler I agree that Zico was far better than R. Carlos, but I strongly disagree when you say that he is the best brazilian left-back of all time. Nilton Santos, Carlos Alberto, Everaldo and Junior were FAR BETTER than him, especially Nilton Santos. Roberto is very good attacking, but ridiculous defending.
for you guys, zico was vetter than pele at free kick shoots , more than maradona, for guy that says maradona outclass pele, just see ovious facts: pele could head much better, had a stronger shoot, was stronger and faster. and even though he played in a team full with champions, the only 10 was him..and after1970 even with jairzinho , rivelino,socrates,zico,falcao,branco,bebeto,romario also(he played 1990)brazil couldn't won a world cup in 24 years! no one could occupy pele's place succesfully
Zico foi fantastico. Um grande jogador e melhor ate que Pele nas cobrancas de faltas. So Nelinho compara a ele, mas Nelinho tinha um estilo diferente, fantastico tambem. Fortimos e com muito efeito. Tempos saudosos. Jogadores talentosos e que ainda treinavam todos os dias suashabilidades. Hoje so querem bater o ponto e ir embora. Rs.
awesome, and for that guy simolui, youre a fool if you say pele wasnt a great free kick taker if you never saw him!....please go and learn more about footbal
Beckham who?...only Maradona, Rivelino, Junior ( early 80's )..Pele, Garrinchia n Le Tissier ( ha ha ..actually, I ain't kiddin!..if u ain't from my shores n don't know of the man they call Matt..then check him out! )..come close 2 the Z'sters magic at a set piece. Remember '82..V Scotland?..David Nery hit a blinder 4 the Jocks early on which seemed 2 really piss the Brazilians off. I think Zico got a couple with Serginio & Eder ( another genius ) chipping a 4th. Z's freekick was proper bo.
listen maradona was better then zico.. and pele' never been a great freekick taker!!!!!!!!! in fact i've never seen a pele' free kick!!! mat was a great player but dont compare him wth the cream of soccer.... regarding david becks, he's one of the best f.k. takers..
Sorry but you guys who never seen Nelinho and Zico can talk about them. Some europeans or outside Brazil(mostly) knows only who played in Europe. And if you are younger than 50 LOL how do you expectet to talk about Pele, Zico and Nelinho? Be reasonable guys.
well a can talk about zico bcause i remember him when he played for udinese, and pele' you dont have to be 50, theres a lot of footage about him, and i can defenetly say that maradona outclass him in every sense, considering that diego was a droug addict!!!! he won every thing on his own!!(imagine if he had trained proply what cuold have done!!!) pele' was good but also played in a team full of champions..... melinho dont know him and francly i dont wanna know him either!!!
