* outside.

imo:

technique 98.

curl 95

mentality 73.

Discussion/Suggestions:

curling 98 ? he can curve better than recoba? omg! wrooooooooong!

technique 99 ? Bergkamp has "only" 97....how come that Ronaldinho has better technique than Dennis and same to Maradona....come one!...you treat him like a God! he isn't...

classic stats are there to represent a single period of time
so in the 2 season that these stats are based on in fairness he was a godlike player

show me a couple of free kicks that the he curls so much the ball...

players don't change technique...either you have it or not...Bergkamp is the one that MAYBE deserves 99 at this value, Ronaldinho never had that much...I mean even in his good seasons he cannot be compared to Maradona's technique (99)

not because he's Maradona, I don't believe that old players are Gods...

I just think that Diego has better technique than Ronaldinho...I am sure he has or had


it's unfair to have his stats raised so much...maybe his consistency or condition...but technical stats dont change...only physical...

thats the whole point though
i don't really know how to word this but its like if you had never seen him play and then you watched him for one season in 2003 and then if the same thing happened and you watched him in 2007 you would rate his technique differently in each one. you are right in a way that you don't loose your technique but the stats are saying that due to his consistency in these seasons, this is what he appeared to have. if that makes any sense to you.

i think his FKA should go up at least 2 ponts, in his good days, he scored at least 4 FK every season, an in one season he scored 6, which i think is the record of La Liga

[Capone]

Technique 99? Guys, come on, his technique was never so good like Maradona's or Pele`s. I would suggest 97

RES 85

check this video from 1.46

I think he could deserve more than the actual values.

What about header= 78 and jumping=82?

actually I think it was.. he absolutely controlled and slaved each and every ball that was played at him or the ones that he wanted to.. he simply never had any trouble with the first touch.. imagine Berbatov or Zlatan with absolute consistency..

dunno about jump, but heading definetely not, hes aerial abilities were below average during his prime, and was in the last 2 years, in his decline, when he started scoring with it and using correctly

[Classical]

ok but jump he at least knew how to jump with some power and grace

[sencesor]

regardless of the debate on *outside (see *outside thread...) in general, & other suggestions: tech 98 (only pele, marado, & zidane should have 99 imo), curl 95 (more then enough), & men 73 (u can say alot of thing bout roni, hard worker though is definitely not one of them...), i think that hes absolutely warrant the *outside - was using it regularly to score & to make insane passes...

[S-J23]

I disagree absolutely with lower curl.. there aren't many players that can really curve the ball as perfectly as Ronaldinho.. and there are hardly any players that can really bend it better than him.. apart from prime Beckham of course..

imho curl 95 suit him better, but o.k.

what bout tech (99 98) ?

men (79 73) ?

& *outside (!!!) ?

[Capone]

With the technique values, I think that Maradona had the best technique ever. So what do you think about this?

99: Maradona
98: Pelé, Zidane
97: Ronaldinho

?

Curling 98 is also overrated, I suggest 96

I agree with curling 96, but IMO:

99: Maradona, Zidane
98: Pelé, Ronaldinho

[Alcohomicide]

I think Rivaldo should at least get 96 his first touch was absolutely epic, and there's way more evidence for that than giving Pelé 98. I agree with 97/98 for Dinho. I don't know about curl, because though he defintely has it in abundance, he loved that toe smash.

hell no!

if you take the last 2 years, then he should be under 70 for sure, but in his prime he was something like Messi(78) nowadays

[sencesor]

sorry mate, but i seriously doubt that, and im not talking about the last two years, im talking about his prime - which imo, was the best player in the world at that time, but this is besides the point that he wouldnt do defence worth of sh#t...

im not saying he couldnt, but that he simply didnt.

and rijkaard let him getaway with it, like he let him get away with anything (inside the pitch & outside), as long as he did his magic.

[Oriello]

On this I agree with sencesor, Ronaldinho sometimes would chase down a player or two in a game if he was in sparkling form and help a little on the left, but most of the time he really was like Ibrahimovic is now, and stood around waiting for the rest of the team to sort out actual active defending, while R10 took a breather, and would come alive once a counter started or possession was won back.

Agree with Mentality 73.
