Modric's view is that Pele's era is too distant, and only Messi and Maradona are worthy of the title of "King of Football" in the history of world football. In my opinion, everything should be viewed with a developmental perspective; otherwise, it will regress. Pele is undoubtedly a great king of football, but the technology and competitive ability of his time cannot be compared with modern times. Maradona's skills and the great national spirit he brought to Argentina are unmatched by Pele. Messi inherited Maradona's mantle on the field and is undoubtedly the third-generation king of football. There is nothing comparable among the three kings of football; they all represent the greatness of an era! Do you know Li Huatang, the Chinese king of football from Pele's era? If you don't, it proves that you don't understand football, or perhaps you're just too young. With superhuman football talent, a strong physique, excellent speed, balanced shooting skills with both feet, comprehensive personal techniques from head to toe, and tactical thinking that stands out in both attack and defense, even as a substitute goalkeeper, he could still perform excellently. Pele is the sum of all the superstars we can see. His versatility is unparalleled! To say the least, Guan Yu could never fight Qin Qiong! In the 1960s, when Beckenbauer first started his career, people admired his talent, and he also admitted that he had once been "overwhelmed," but later, after seeing Pele's skills, he was completely convinced by the other party. (Beckenbauer has written a memoir in which he shares his…

Here are some of my own views on this perspective. The key to being a Ball King lies in the word "King"! It embodies the aura of a king, leadership qualities, domineering, spiritual, and talented all in one! They are absolutely the cornerstone of the team, capable of enhancing the level of their teammates and improving the team's performance! Although Maradona was undoubtedly skilled at dribbling, what's most important is his passing vision and rationality. His often incredible and imaginative passes are surprisingly reasonable. In this aspect, Messi still falls short. Don't tell me about how many assists Messi has; it's not enough in terms of rationality, and many balls could have been passed earlier for better results. Mainly because Messi started out as a forward, his mindset for assists is somewhat fixed. Both are incredibly talented top-tier players, neck and neck, but in terms of match intensity and team leadership, it's clear that Old Horse (Maradona) is superior. The early matches were more fiercely competitive, and the rules didn't provide as comprehensive protection for the players as they do now. There were no cards given for tackles from behind, and many stars had to retire early due to injuries. On the field, Old Horse was subjected to punches and kicks as…
