I genuinely cannot think of any midfielder in football history who was as good as him.
He’s the best player in the world at 20 years old with 13 goals and 3 assists playing as a midfielder for the biggest and most pressure club in the world with an incomplete squad at his disposal.
Its not even about goals but their importance, he’s winning games, equalizing scores all by himself and many times at the very last minute.
Considering his young age (20) and if he were to improve further on passing and tempo dictation, does he have a chance to go down as the most complete midfielder of all-time? (Matthaus probably holds that spot)
Clarence Seedorf. Doesn’t have the scoring record but then Seedorf played further back and Jude is a number 10 at Madrid. He’s clearly great but judging him as a midfielder when he’s been asked to do other things is a little weird. He wasn’t great today but scored twice and won the game.
Clarence Seedorf was phenomenal. Seeing him do the stuff he did still brings the occasional tear to my eye.
