Just voicing out my thoughts(I could be bashed up the fans here
though)
Could Makelele, Ronaldo, Gerrard and Terry have been over-rated as
well?
Makelele's job is to protect the defence by just making tackles,
providing cover for Chelsea. However..sitting right behind him is 1
of the strongest central defensive pairing in the world. Then
again... Chelsea might need him to cover the field by closing down
opponents as well, thus my uncertainty.
Gerrard and Terry 1st came into mind as they're both English too
While no doubt their role in the
club is significant, these 2 players have been hailed as Godlike by
the media, even when their form has been relatively not as good as
compared to previous seasons.
Ronaldo. Certainly this guy is one of the main reasons why Man Utd
can be quite successfully in the last season. His runs and dribbles
are at times out-of-the-world. But quite a number of people hailing
him as simply the best in the world and a hot favourite for the
coming footballer of the year awards? I have my doubts. I find that
he often holds back quite a fair bit in the big games. Instead of
confidently going all put to rape world class defences, he's more
of timid to let it all out.
Just my 2 cents.
