Actually I was wrong as apparently it came into effect in 1998. Here's a quote from an article on the subject: "Zero tolerance for the tackle from behind Prior to the 1998 World Cup, FIFA made the tackle from behind a red card offence. The wording emphasised that it was a tackle "which endangers the safety of an opponent". Indeed, what the aforementioned Van Basten had to endure during his career is said to have contributed to the introduction of zero tolerance for tackles from behind the player with the ball. The Dutch great's playing career ended prematurely at the age of just 28 in 1993 with the effect of dangerous tackles on him believed to be one of the reasons." link to the article: www.otbsports.com/soccer/three-football-rule-changes-that-ultimately-benefited-the-sport-255353

That's categorically not true. There are more technically gifted players now, than ever before. Academies world wide, now focus on technique. Before, it used to be Holland, Spain and France for Europe, with England and Germany more physical, and Italy more tactical. The technical players came from South America. These days, they are everywhere, so, it doesn't stand out as much. There's a saturation of technique, that makes it seem like there is less, as it's just an expected trait now.

its not so much about having less talents. its so much more about player development and the tactical discipline of different teams. Nowadays from a very young age, players start to follow a much stricter training regiment compared to back then. In addition, players have lesser freedom in their respective roles. They are bound to strict orders in their gameplay. they have been drilled to go for more reliable but less fancy options in every scenario. a good example would be pep shouting at kompany not to shoot from a distance and to pass the ball instead. Kompany shot anyway and scored a spectacular goal. sure it worked that time for kompany and it was a beautiful goal but more often than not, players will tend to miss the target. Back then players have so much more freedom. The tactical landscape of the game has changed so much. its time we embrace it.
@mesutramsey36203 жыл бұрын
Tactics have always existed. All the way footballers can kick, pass, shoot, cross amd dribble the ball has remained the same in the last 2 decades and no new way of doing things have been invented. Even tactics have all been known. Football is a very simple sport, which ultimately is about putting the ball in the back of the net. So when players with enough talent play the beautiful game in a free way, no tactic is enough to stop them.

Actually I was wrong as apparently it came into effect in 1998. Here's a quote from an article on the subject: "Zero tolerance for the tackle from behind Prior to the 1998 World Cup, FIFA made the tackle from behind a red card offence. The wording emphasised that it was a tackle "which endangers the safety of an opponent". Indeed, what the aforementioned Van Basten had to endure during his career is said to have contributed to the introduction of zero tolerance for tackles from behind the player with the ball. The Dutch great's playing career ended prematurely at the age of just 28 in 1993 with the effect of dangerous tackles on him believed to be one of the reasons." link to the article: www.otbsports.com/soccer/three-football-rule-changes-that-ultimately-benefited-the-sport-255353

@@indronilganguly9715 it still works perfectly, the problem is not so many teams nowadays are capable of playing this type of game. Probably, it's only Manchester City, but even them (with all due respect) have less skillful players than Barça had during Pep's era. If you don't have prime Messi, Xavi, Iniesta, Henry, Eto'o etc. of course you will be way less effective.
What a decade for strikers. Ronaldo’s ball control at top speed was incredible.
Ronaldo was way out of the rest of their league. After him Baggio really blows my mind. His reaction pace was incredible. But the most intelligent one is Bergkamp in my view. As well, I really adore Jurgen Klinsmann as a Germany national team advocator. He was so fast and skillful at taking the volley balls and bicycle kicks. All of them are amazing overall
R9 is honestly like a different species Imagine he never got that injury
shearer was lethal, sadly he never played for an all time great team... And jeeez klinsmann was even more spectacular than i remember

Those were the days. Proper striker. Batigol my fav. Can score with either foot, lethal with free kick, excellent in the air..
And to think Baggio played most of his career in chronic pain from severe knee injuries, he was only ever fit for 2 games a season he said. Absolutely pheonominal player. Shearer had tones of injuries, 5+ knee ops including an ACL, ankle ops, hernia, groin ops and is still the premier leagues all time leading goalscorer
But before his injuries Ronaldo was the best. Both in stats and performances that where never seen in will not be seen on such a young age. His level is till this they unmatched, he remains the youngest best talent/player of all time.
@giovanni gio Yes he was absolutely unplayable in his time. Some amazing talent.
@@giovannigio3764 Even after the infamous injury he was still great. I wonder why the universe hated the guy that much, gifting him almost perfect football physique but forgot to tweak the knee. He was born with knee defect that was bound to severely injured from aggresive explosive playing style.
@@iganpparamarta8813 In his era they aloud much more fouls. And since he could not be stopped they made a lot of fouls on him. After his move to Italy he was in the worst place since it had the best/hardest defences. And after his first major injury they did let him start play to soon so he did go out with the same injury. Ronaldo was very strong but nobody can't be saved from to many fouls. But these days there is less aloud so players are more safe.
@IGANP Paramarta correct. I was a striker with a lot of pace that my game was built around. I ended up with 12 knee operations X2 ACL reconstructions on the same knee as on failed, 10 MCL operations. Its not an easy rehabilitation form each.
The fact that the balls back then were so much heavier and these guys just unleashing rockets. Imagine batigol in his prime shooting these new balls
That’s what made it easier though, if they were to hit the ball as hard as they did back then it would fly into the top tier
Did they played with heavier balls? Wow I didn't know that.

As for playing on muddy pitches.. that was 40 years ago when Maradona was playing. Again FIFA has rules as to pitch conditions and whether or not matches can continue.
this really was a better era of football, much larger pool of top tier talent than what we see today.
Bergkamp's first touch just wasn't fair. Football lovers of that era remember Christian Vieri

for me its ronaldo nazario and the divine ponytail,football must never forget about roberto baggio
Nobody who watched Football during this era would forget any of these guys. Absolute beasts and a nightmare for those poor defenders/goalies!
I remember one of Batistuta's long range free kicks where he hit the ball with his right and it bounced back off the wall and then he immediately volleyed it with his left and scored. Batigol could hit screamers with either foot. #legend
Bergkamp was an unbelievable player!!!
The players I love to watch most most are those who are great at dribbling, they do tricks and flicks and score cheeky chips.... Yes that's you Baggio, Suker, Bergkamp. Those are the classy strikers!
Wow Romario Ronaldo baggio bergkamp were dribbling and shooting Shearer goals are stunners man What a tearful striker he would have been Can't even allow him to shoot from 25 yard
90's football was defensive, teams put more players on their on half, and there's many game ended at 0-0 or 1-0. My point is, to be a good striker in that era, you must be reaaally good
And defence was brutal. Not tough, BRUTAL. Best players was on the ground after any ball contact. Kids don't understand that these days...
it was known.. you leave 1 occasion, they scored. Quality was extremely high at those times, both forward and defense. In general the football was more qualitative than now. Now is more spectaucular, though.

Im a big fan for Ronaldo 9 Brazil. But someone must remember he has drugs case during his career as a football best striker 🙏 so that's why I prefer Batigol as the comparison in Calcio serie A in that time. Batistuta and Ronaldo 9 are the real monsters in the front of goal keepers. They can kill you in every where and every position 😁
Baggio tho 🔥 one of the very best skilful, free kicks, dribble and finish won’t be made like that again
Amazing Alan was world class and England best striker the days when football was football

There's nothing like watching football for the first time and all the players being fresh and unknown to you and then you're like wow... That Suker chip against Denmark... The Poborksy chip for Czech.... And playing football yourself and celebrating with the Raul goal celebration. Amazing! I love football as much as I did then now but there's nothing like when you first find this great sport and become immersed in it.
Growing up with 90s and early 00s football was great... the game is so boring now in comparison... gone are the great characters, the entertainers and Mavericks!
I totally agree. I miss the football I grew up to
Also, footballers have become robots.
Thank god for Messi who is a joy to watch but after him there's gonna be a big hole in terms of mavericks with real talent. I don't include neymar as he wasn't at the level of a lot of these from the 90s

No fancy celebrations after scoring such outrageous goals Now we have players Who have chik chik boom boom, even for scoring a penalty to a relegation zone team

It's good that you've added Shearer in your video. The new generation rarely talk about him.
Football peaked in the 90s now the quality level has definitely declined. Modern day football is heavily based on fitness. I'm glad I witnessed football at it's absolute finest 👌
I agree 100%.
yep, there is way less individual flair and creativity, its like the players are no longer free to develop and express their individuality.
Because they ask too much of players, you’ve got strikers defending, defenders attacking... they’re exhausted by half time 😂

Actually, every player on this list was so unique that it hurts to watch how uniformed football has become. Just look at those bombs and merciless execution from Shearer and Batistuta... 90's and 2000's were the absolute pinacle of football.
Every player from this video was extraordinary!!! I loved Baggio the most, but the speed, dribble and shoot with both legs..... - Ronaldo -the best player ever lived. Suker is from Croatia like me, i loved him so much, he gave us all so many great games, Bergkamp was so nice to watch playing, Romario - little man with such speed, auuuuu, Batistuta and Crespo- fantastic, Klinsman - he was always where the ball is, Shearer - 10 Years no player in England was better than him, I forgot how good was George Weah until i saw it here...... What a video, what a memory,..... Thanks man, You nailed it!
God, I miss the 90s for many reasons, you just reminded me about one of them... Seen many of those in the video on live tv back then, thanks for bringing the memories back, it was worth it.
So much more technically gifted than footballers these days
That's because the focus has shifted from technical ability to speed & athleticism.
@@jamesh8862 and tactical rigidity, even though they call guardiolas football beautiful, it offers very little individual flair
That's categorically not true. There are more technically gifted players now, than ever before. Academies world wide, now focus on technique. Before, it used to be Holland, Spain and France for Europe, with England and Germany more physical, and Italy more tactical. The technical players came from South America. These days, they are everywhere, so, it doesn't stand out as much. There's a saturation of technique, that makes it seem like there is less, as it's just an expected trait now.
@@patogames5099 that really isn't true... show me players that have the technique of a Ronaldo , Zidane , Ronaldinho, Bergkamp, Batistuta and so many others from this era...
@@anab0lic Ronaldo (assuming Brazilian Ronaldo) - Suarez, Zidane - De Bruyne, Ronaldinho - Cristiano Ronaldo, Bergkamp - Suarez, Batistuta - Lewandowski. Just because players don't Flip Flap for example, as much as Ronaldo/Ronaldinho did, doesn't mean they don't have technical talent. Haaland is as clinical as Batigol was. MBappe is a exciting to watch as Ronaldo was. Where guys like Camavinga, Tonali, Vincius, Felix, etc will all end up, who knows. The technical quality of a full team, is now better than it used to be. Defenders are much better footballers, goal keepers are better with their feet, midfielders are better at ball retention/tight space possession.
Those spectacular goals in that time was like a penalty kick today😳 Scoring goals like those today they call you a talent!

Of course..90 until mid or late 2000 is the era of legends..not only in football
I miss 1990's football so much. I haven't followed football in the last 10 years but I always watch some highlights of the golden age of football
I'm in my mid thirties an without doubt Ronaldo is the best out an out No9 I've ever seen... his skill set was an still is unrivalled. I believe if he hadn't sustained those horrible injuries so early in his career he would of been the best ever... yes ahead of even CR7 an Messi... younger people nowadays will never be able to see or appreciate just how good he actually was... there is a reason he was nicknamed the Phenom.
Those were incredible players from the 90's, my favourite was Ronaldo,, shearer scored some classics,Zidane and rivaldo missing from that elite group of olayers, now it's Messi, Ronaldo,, neymar,.. Good players,,
Roberto Baggio was incredible
These guys would shoot at anything that moved.Right,left,head,overhead kicks...you name it. These guys are the last of the Mohicans.I watched those games with such intensity and emotions...nowadays I have no favourite player...they all suck.Romario and Baggio were my favourites.
its not so much about having less talents. its so much more about player development and the tactical discipline of different teams. Nowadays from a very young age, players start to follow a much stricter training regiment compared to back then. In addition, players have lesser freedom in their respective roles. They are bound to strict orders in their gameplay. they have been drilled to go for more reliable but less fancy options in every scenario. a good example would be pep shouting at kompany not to shoot from a distance and to pass the ball instead. Kompany shot anyway and scored a spectacular goal. sure it worked that time for kompany and it was a beautiful goal but more often than not, players will tend to miss the target. Back then players have so much more freedom. The tactical landscape of the game has changed so much. its time we embrace it.
Tactics have always existed. All the way footballers can kick, pass, shoot, cross amd dribble the ball has remained the same in the last 2 decades and no new way of doing things have been invented. Even tactics have all been known. Football is a very simple sport, which ultimately is about putting the ball in the back of the net. So when players with enough talent play the beautiful game in a free way, no tactic is enough to stop them.
@@Ganstaz003 straight facts
@@Ganstaz003 it's why it's the beautiful game. This almost made me cry
Players back then were very hard working and diciplined as well so coaches/ managers also use to have confidence in them that they will do something on the field without guidance players these days don't want to work they just want to spend too much time on social media and other stuff so managers also have less confidence in them klose statement regarding young players says it all
It's not just nostalgia you are seeing in these comments, it is a REAL sense that something has been lost.

Strikers taking good shots from distance? That stuff is extinct in 2022. WC has been sad in that regard. Everyone always looking for perfect close in shots instead of testing keepers. Great video.

90s football strikers were known for their clinical finishing, goal-scoring prowess, and ability to change games with their skills and instincts, including their spectacular long-range shots that often surprised goalkeepers with their accuracy and power from outside the penalty area.

Back in the 90s, you can see that here are much more space allowed by the strikers. Nowadays you won't see anyone getting the ball without 1-2 defensive players within a few meters from the players. There were more free flow back then. Now it is all about having the balls under your control.
Too bad that you didn’t put Šuker’s best goal, goal against Ireland... That goal shows the best what kind of genius he was...
So difficult to choose but it has to be said that Bergkamp was a magician and Ronaldo was just unstoppable. It's also easy to forget just how good the others were...Romario and Klinsmann were amazing all round strikers.
Dennis bergkamp was not just a goal scorer.he was a complete forward who can create and score. Pure quality
Power, strength and pure grit it’s either score the goal or die trying what a time to be alive
Tive o prazer de ver todos jogando. Tempos incríveis
I also feel the weight and dynamics of the ball was different pre 2007-2008..when they changed it.. That when C. Ronaldo started doing those dipping freekicks which was not possible before that as the dynamics of the ball made it impossible..the ball is lighter now..and also..some other changes have been made as well..
also the boots and ofcourse the rules
Marcelo Salas, Pedrag Mijatovic, Del Piero, Ravanelli, Vialli, Vieri, Signori, Casiraghi, Raul, Alen Boksic, Zamorano, Ginola, Abel Balbo, Cantona, Blanco, Stoichkov, Kluivert, Cole, Sutton, Van Basten, etc. Serie A was one hell of a league back in the 90's. PS. Some maybe well known in late 2000 but they're start blooming since mid 90's
And this to me is why I consider Zidane and R9 as GOAT status. Not just strikers but defenders as well were on a different level
We'll soon have videos about the dying breed of traditional number 9s with Lewandowski, Kane, Benzema and Vardy. Haaland is the only proper number 9 coming through right now.
I made a video asking Nigerians Messi or Ronaldo check if you can 💢
Benzema definitely not a traditional number 9
Benzema more of a hybrid 10/9
We already had that discussion a few years ago. In the early/mid 2010s, people were saying number 9 died, and now we had the false 9 or wingers who go to the area... but for the past few years, the number 9 role came back with a bang.
DCL is pretty young
12:16 pirlo's long ball and crazy control by baggio
super crazy control lol
Must admit... this is the best football video out there... sickkkkk rare footage
So many average players now a days, huge salaries, and cos they are super fit... People think they are world class. No they are not. We peaked in late 90s and 00s. So many world class players it was unbelievable. The AC Milan team, Shevchenko, inzaghi, pirlo, seedorf, maldini, Nesta, cafu etc... That's just one team. Rediculous.
i think there is too many distractions for the modern day player... back in 90s less so, you focused entirely on becoming a master of your craft... Seems like modern day managers dont allow players as much freedom to play with true creativity either... everything has to be by the numbers following a set formula.
