He played for Fiorentina during 7 years, since 94/95 to 00/01, 215 games played and 38 goals. During that he won more than one time the best number 10 in Italy beating for example Zidane. With 29 years old he moved for Milan for 35M/€. Lats year he returned to the place who lunched him for the World, Benfica. SLB forever! Rui Costa o verdadeiro e único MÁGICO!

rui costa so elegant , you always know he is the one with the ball...

Never will be a "maestro" like Rui Costa. The class, elegance...time seemed to stop at his feet when he carried the team on his back. Safest place on the field? Costa's feet. Much respect, sir. I salute you.

@bardhi09 Top Goal!

@zetros Here is the Goal and some other highlights watch?v=37Ytxo2wxgQ watch it quick before it gets removed.

@bardhi09 Fair comparison to make, between Kaka and Pastore. I understand where you're coming from.

No, I haven't seen the goal! But Seedorf is ace. I remember last season Milan v Tottenham Hotspur, and at Tottenham's ground, Seedorf was controlling the whole match. It was incredible. Great player, great man.

@zetros I think the best CAM IMO would be David Silva of City but that's only my Opinion.

About Pastore he sort of reminds me more of Kaka from what i've seen on Palermo.

P.S did you see Seedorf's goal against Cesena last week he boggles my mind and yet the General Audience really underrates him the gut who won the UCL 4 times with 3 different clubs people should be ashamed of themselves really.

@bardhi09 I think you're blinded by club allegiances, my friend. I agree, there will not be another Rui, but Javier is similar in build and in play-making abilities. He's young, but will be a fantastic player. He's already the heartbeat of PSG. As for Seedorf, the man is stunning. Both him and Xavi are great players, it would be wrong to compare the two, as their peak years were at different periods of time. Xavi is, at the moment, the best playmaker on the planet.

He was always high up the pitch, playing 1-2's dribbling into space delaying and waiting for a run for the through-ball. Now he plays deeper, quarterback spraying long balls and joining attacks later. Before he would carry the ball or be the first midfielder to the edge of the box playing 1-2's off Totti and feeding the likes of Montella. He was an out and out attacking playmaker, just lacked the guile and fitness of Rui. But definitely got into the same sorts of positions with similar ideas.
