To be honest, I'm not a fan of the day-to-day fans who said Falcao was hands down the best striker and probably now say the same about Ibra, but I've always thought Ibra was the best n°9 since he left for Barça. And then kind of flopped. And the resurfaced at Milan and became awesome again.
Falcao on his best day, Van Persie on his best day or Ibra on his best day. All are game-changing players with tremendous skill, but Ibra probably edges them all with his technique, height and power
I still think Falcao is the best no. 9 right now but strangely Ibra is peaking at 30-31. He scored 30 league goals last season, his career high and is scoring almost a goal a game this season....
What most will not know is he scores goals like this all the time. Euro 2012 wasn't that long ago.... Or you can go all the way back to 2002 his goal with Ajax against NAC. As far as technique and stuff go, Ibra is the complete package. Strength, technique, placement, pks.... He almost never misses a pk. Ok enough dk riding. He's mmy fav player for a reason. Oh, and he had 4 assists for PSG last game....
Long time ibra fan, since his Juventus days believe it or not (though that doesn't matter one bit) and I'd have to say it's an interesting footnote, Falcao v RVP v Ibra
I love how money-grubbers like Eto'o fall off the map and justifiably so.
Ibra has the most talent out of the above three, hard to dispute, but over the years I've noticed that he isn't a multiple goal scorer very often.
Now I know with recent 4 goal performances to gawk at, it may be difficult for those of you with short term memories to believe that, but honestly, he does it the hard way. When Falcao or RVP get hat tricks now and again (almost consecutively sometimes) Ibra pretty much gets a goal a game.
Sure this means his goal tallies grow at a slower rate, but hey the tortoise and the hare right? > and besides he's a grow'er not a show'er
His 2nd and 3rd goals could have been best of the week, they were both incredible themselves, but then came his 4th. It's like he wanted to keep one upping himself
After every goal he scored the next one got better, imagine if they had player a bit longer probably would have scored a bicycle kick goal from a goal kick
If you look at Ibras Age, Speed & The skills he has with his height then he truely is the best player in the world. He also scores very entertaining goals, I wanna see what Messi and Ronaldo do at 31.
Are you joking? Have you seen what he accomplished in his mid-twenties.... If ronaldo and messi are performing as well as ibra is in his 30s I will be impressed
After he scored a hatrik I was thinking there's nothing more Ibra can do to surprise me now, and then booom! My jaw drops.... Respect to the best striker atm...
Holy- what did my eyes see. An overhead kick and a 25 yard out goal What more can a football fan ask for? Definitely this is a Puskas Goal of the year Award!
