9 - Robert Lewandowski

[Maradona37]

You know REAL football.

I know football trivia. So do you,obviously.

We have derailed the thread. Dont want a warning/ban.

It's basic knowledge.

It's not profound or special to know that a player can be better than another player despite scoring fewer goals.

An alien coming from Mars could tell you that in 10 minutes. But so many football fans seem to lack this very basic, easy to grasp concept.

That was years ago.

hence you forgot what he did....

And tbh that is a disgraceful comment - the guy is actually management, but you need to get a grip thinking celebrities are better because they make more money. Ronaldo has a talent for football, but that cinema worker you are disparaging seems a much better person than him, and way more intelligent.

tbf, i admit my comment wasnt ok but you cant judge CR7's character if you dont know him personally, the coaches and players who know him always speak positive from him and he donated more money than 99% of the football players outside

Ronaldo would be a complete failure if not for the lottery of being bestowed football talent, so wind your neck in like he's something special because he's good at kicking a ball around a park (which ultimately means nothing in life, and is only seen as important because we, the fans, deem it so).

he could have easily become a model if not a football player, also he is a fantastic tennis player and we would compare him with Federer and Nadal if he would have chose tennis....

Without fans like you, me and that 'random cinema worker', Ronaldo would be nobody as there would be zero demand for his ability. Remember that.

Ronaldo said once: 'Football without fans is nothing'

You'll see vintage Lewangoalski performance tonight.

2 good goals and an all around 8/10 performance.

Then,me and @Temptation will gloat all evening about it.

But Mara will hate him because he didnt score a hattrick

Ronaldo said once: 'Football without fans is nothing'

It was years ago. And was 6/10 at best anyway and nothing amazing relative to GOAT level playmakers. I watched his entire career so I know.

Told you before - celebrities donate for tax evasion reasons and for PR. I wish you would stop bringing that up. Ronaldo is especially a candidate for doing this as he's obsessed with his image.

Lol I know you rate his looks, but without the fame he has from football, no, he could never ever be a model. Male models are much better looking than him generally, plus he wouldn't have had the money to fix his teeth and face a bit. But you rate his looks and I do not so we can disagree. The comment he would have been on Federer or Nadal's level as a tennis player is clear trolling.

Yes, he said that, so maybe he agrees with me that you shouldn't put down guys who work normal jobs. Without guys like that Ronaldo would have nothing. We the fans paid for his life.

 

[Maradona37]

I am willing to come out that you know more about real stuff.

Josef Bican has 700 goals in 450 games and 90% dont know him.

Frane Matosic has 729 goals in 739 for my team (Hajduk Split),is he a goat candidate? Has anyone here heard of him?

Lewandowski has 3 digits in the BIGGEST comp. More than Raul for example.

I know Bican, less familiar with Matosic. Bican is my point. Great player but nobody cares because it was 'prehistoric times' (their words, not mine).

Lewa has scored a lot of goals in CL, but how many big games that he changed stand in the memory? Other than the Real game for Dortmund.

 

[Maradona37]

On the contrary, if he scored one goal but played much better in general play than with three, I would rave over him.

See Haaland the other day - two lovely goals, but what most impressed me was his better link up play and defensive headers. Was refreshing to see his game evolve (and hope he maintains it).

 

[Maradona37]

He has few and far between career defining moments in CL , yes, but 3 digits is unreal input.

What's the point though if they get the team nowhere? Ultimately his teams won one covid CL, so what did those goals in smaller games achieve?

THIS IS MY POINT! Individual goal records are meaningless in football - all that matters is what how many goals the TEAM scores, and how many the TEAM wins and achieves.

Ronaldo for instance cannibalises his teams' goals and makes them play much more one dimensionally to feed him - which is why he was constantly bounced from the CL after leaving Real and cannot win a thing in Saudi. Now, obviously there's more at play there than just him, but his selfishness is a factor. Same with lewa to a lesser degree.

Guys like Temptation wank over goal stats of individual players without getting that it's irrelevant if the team isn't successful.

 

[Maradona37]

Was buying 🍺 .

Anyway,you are a true football fan and I am a autism maths guy.

What more can I say?

I am sorry I cant contribute more to this post.

I am the kinda guy who sees Haaland batter Moldova and instantly think "oh he scored bunch,he deserves a 9 or 10"

Why lie?

Yeah he deserves 9 or 10 for scoring five in that game in that game in isolation. Moldova are improving but they're still a minnow. So the context has to be he was playing against Moldova and the result would be the same had they scored 3 and not 9 or 10 or whatever they got.

His performance against a much better team in Man United was more impressive despite fewer goals (they're rubbish but still miles better than Moldova lol, though City are also a lot better than Norway).

You realise that game has no bearing on Norway's future success, so ultimately matters little they battered them (except maybe for GD qualification reasons).

 

[Maradona37]

I dont know what to say,been trying for 10 minutes now.

Spend too much time on here,just because I post nowhere near as much doesnt mean I dont read it most of the day.

Lewa is awesome,so is Haaland.

If you notice patterns,in every thread I say "oh Vinicus needs x games to score,Chiesa has 7 in 51 so hes overrated"

Numbers are everything to me.

I just cant contribute THAT much on a football forum,no matter how much I try. Sucks.

Never forget the old saying. Numbers are like miniskirts, - they show a fair amount but hide the most important parts.

 

[Maradona37]

dont know what to say anymore.

Frane Matosic scored 729 goals for my local team and I bet not a single soul on here has heard of him (except maybe Croatians on here).

He's a new one for me, for sure. And I know guys like Sindelar, Meazza, Leonidas, Jose Andrade, Stabile and Arthur Friedenreich. Names lots of modern fans won't be familiar with.

 

[Maradona37]

Everyone should know Meazza. I know most of those guys.

Yeah Meazza likely the most famous of those 6.

Hahaha but you and me aren't like others lol. For better or worse, lol.

 

[Maradona37]

Finished as fuck.. absolutely useless. He generally is but his stats mask it.

 

[FCBfan22]

I know why Hansi fielded him (to deal with Newcastle's height) but was utter shite.

 

[JamDav1982]

Offered nothing.

Maybe not fully fit but he is so static.

 

[Barcaman]

Yeah, invisible. Sadly.
