For "physical qualities" simply re: pace, because his upper-body strength can't be doubted.

Players like Riquelme, Henry and, to a lesser extent, Totti are indulged by their clubs and have the whole side built around them - they should try playing for one of the really big boys where you are just another player who has to fit into the already established system.

* Obispo - anyone who said that Lampard is better than Deco is not someone you should even be discussing football with - don't bother next time.
this current team is his, without him we are fucked. Our style of play- pass & move- suits henry very well but i feel this team doesn't get the best out of him because we play more of possession football these days. He plays best in a team that set him up after one two three passes,not the one that keeps the ball a lot.Oleguerisntthatbad wrote:Obispo wrote:Pierre Littbarski wrote:

Put Riquelme in a team with a Deco/Essien/Makalele and he will be just fine. He just needs a top quality "bodyguard".

Riquelme is a good player but for top teams to really look at u these days, u have to
1) be a good dribbler or
2) have pace
Those are 2 important attributes in modern day football and he lacks both of them. Teams prefer players who have both but having one of them won't hinder your chances of making it at top clubs. Zidane for example lacked pace but was a good dribbler .

Do you not think size/strength rather than dribbling was zidane's big advantage over Riquelme ?

Riquelme is a good dribbler but his main advantage is that he keeps the ball very very close to him thereby making it difficult to take it off him. Villarreal has been too reliant on him always making something special instead of ordering players to stick close so that he can pass himself out of difficult situations..
