Regardless of the stupid and unnecessary comparisons with Messi that some people make, Recoba was a giant! I saw Recoba playing in his prime. He was a real monster in technical terms, a true baller! It's a pity that constant and very serious injuries shortened his peak.
That was not the reason, the 3 actaull reasons he started slacking in ability is because he was sent off due to faulty passport situation not letting him put time on the pitch, second reasons is that he did not turn up to training because he thought he was to good for that. The third reasons is because sometimes he did not turn up to matches because he thought his team would not win anyway. He did have minor injury but those were the type that will let you play in a few games, nothing major until way later in his career.
Thank you for making this. People so hyped by today’s football will never understand how good it was before. Was amazing to have him and R9 together at Inter.
If anything this video just shows how absurd Messi is; that he was able to showboat and show same skills as a mercurial player like Recoba AND back those skills up with consistent 30 goal seasons and trophies. Before Messi it used to be really either or. Brazilian Ronaldo was similar but had the injuries but no player has matched flashy highlights AND consistent end product and trophies like Messi
@@hegeliandianetik2009 he wasn't that inconsistent and lazy. Between 1999 and 2004 he managed 77 goal contributions in 113 Serie A games. Just look at his skills man. He would be hailed as the next messiah would he play today. Dude was also pretty strong and fast
Recoba was my favourite player growing up. Signed on PES at all costs in any master league I played. Injuries and lengthy bans probably ruined him from being a ballon d’or winner
Forgot all about him with the likes of Ronaldo 7 and Messi about... But what a player he was.. Gifted left foot.. And would be one of the best about.. If he was playing today. ❤
Why don't any of the media talk about this boy? He's probably got the best card In Winning Eleven 8 😆. I mean seriously he is an insane talent. His dribbling skills should be a single topic to talk about not to mention the other skills
Sabes que me gusta de todo esto es que a Uruguay lo conose todo el mundo mientras que los vecinos de alado argentina nos insultan y dicen que no nos conose nadie
WTF??? Never heard of this guy. It's more like watching a really 'direct' Maradona than Messi i.e. less tricks but all the skill and Ballon D'OR level highlights. Wow, just wow...! : )
Ver al chino era como ver al diego tenia ese nose que que te embrujaba con su magia y soy uruguayo pero el chino tenia la magia de maradona pero el mas que todo sabe porque no quizo la gloria
Great player no doubt and great content as usual, but tbh, I don't see anything close yo Messi here; maybe like Pele, his best moments were not captured (sic). I mean the 1v9s, the tight/no space sorcery, the magnetic feet, the superhuman brain? Nah! Maybe we have become too used to Messi that we take his genius for granted.
Es sobrevalorado amigo tengo casi 35 años, Messi en el Inter contra la defensa de la Juve, del Milan, de la Roma, de la Lazio y de la Florentina donde había gente como Nesta, Baresi, Maldini, Stam, Cannavaro, Adani, Edmundo, Thuram y Cafú al lugar de Alvarito Recoba desde 1999 hasta 2006 hubiera fracasado te lo firmo
@@ilbosseus Nisiquiera soy argentino y te digo que Messi no está sobrevalorado, nadie lo puede superar en la era moderna y está bien que te guste la Serie A pero decirle tronco a alguien que comparan con Maradona es demasiado jaja. Junto a Cristiano han sido los mejores del deporte por lejos durante casi dos décadas y no hay un tercero claro, recuerda que Messi lo ganó todo con su selección y en clubes... algo que solo pudo hacer Ronaldinho
Bueno Tronco es demasiado tienes razón pero no se puede paragonar con Maradona, la manera de ganar es muy importante, en las finales que Argentina ganó nunca ha sido el mejor del partido, es un gran jugador de mucha calidad, de regate y creación de juego pero repito en la Serie A de los noventa y también en la Premier de hoy hubiera sido un buen jugador y no más, Maradona es demasiado especiál
Rom7ooo you are drunk jajajajajaja so recoba was first but he is messi from 90 jajajajajajajja, i think make more sense if messi play like recoba because messi saw recoba play first and then plays, recoba sees messi but he is all ready retire but is your channel you can do whatever you want plus recoba plays for uruguay not for Argentina
As talented as he was, he was notoriously injury prone and had very poor work rate, just like other Inter prodigies like Adriano and Balotelli. In 10 years with Inter, Recoba only scored 53 goals.
@@ameyapotdar461 Messi has highest assists and chances created in the history of European football.... second highest goal scorer after ronaldo...highest dribbling...won highest trophies 46...won two world cup golden balls...won 8 ballon d'ors and 7 fifa best...scored 91 goals in a calendar year despite not being a striker...secured 22 assists in that season...social media is a platform where fans say silly things... don't become one
