Diego Maradona vs Boca Juniors | 20 years old Maradona scores 4 goals

20 years old Diego Maradona faces his future club, Boca Juniors, in the game of Argentine Primera División. His direct opponent is 18 years old Oscar Ruggeri, with whom they'll win the World Cup 6 years later. He scored 4 goals, won the free kick for the 5th one and created multiple big chances for his partners in a ridiculously complete attacking performance.

Diego era un 5 que jugaba con la 10, desde que debutó en 1ra. División, él arrancaba desde su propia área y todas las pelotas pasaban por él. Eso lo dijo : Alfredo Di Stefano. 🇦🇷⚽️❤

Gati se comio 4 de Maradona y por eso sigue ardido hasta ahora. En todo el partido se comio 5.

[@HarmsFootball]

He saved quite a few shots to be fair, including one-on-ones. His eccentric style of play didn't bode well with Maradona free kicks though!

[@clevbo5527]

@Harms Gati never forgot the magic 4. He became a vocal advocate of Pele, diminishing Dieguito. Of course, what could u expect when he had to take 4 from Dieguito when he was only 20.

Que termos que son por dios. Gatti no odia a maradona, siempre lo puso por encima de di stéfano y messi. que diga que pelé es mejor cuando también lo dicen menotti, basile, bochini, beto alonso, ardiles, perfumo y un larguísimo etc de leyendas argentinas no es ser anti maradona.

Diego Maradona, one of the greatest football players to ever grace the pitch. There's no denying his natural talent and skill that he displayed on the field, but let's be honest, the era in which he played is vastly different from the modern game we see today. The Boca defence that he faced was quite porous by today's standards, with large gaps that Maradona was able to charge through at will. The midfield also had large gaps and zero pressing, giving him oceans of space and time on the ball. And let's not forget the slower-moving players of that era, compared to the Adonis-like, body-sculpted, super-fast, athletic specimens that we see on the pitch today. This is why it's important to see every great player in the context of the era they played in, and not try to push them into future eras, 40 to 70 years later. While Maradona was an incredible player, his achievements need to be considered within the context of his time, rather than trying to compare him to modern players who play in a vastly different era.

[@sskmanentsa5326]

The man scored 4 goals against one of the best teams in the World whilst playing for one of the worst in Argentina. If we did what you just did then any great performance would not look that great. Secondly, that whole era argument is a fallacy. Players and even people in real life use mainly the equipment available, players did not gradually evolve, the equipment was made better which is out of their control. It is also to note that the rule changes encourage a more offensive game than back then and the game has been made less physical. I don't know where this whole pressing obsession came from, it is not the only effective way to play defense. They also did not give Maradona any space, no team did. Almost in every touch, there is a man following him. 3 of those goals are from set pieces where he was fouled or won a handball because they could not dispossess him. Even when he move to tougher defences i.e in Italy(which was on the level of the Premier League now), he continued to dominate and with him as a centerpiece, he turned a relegation side into national and continental champs. People who think that modern era football is so much better need to explain how footballers who arrived in the early 2000s are still dominating at the top level till this day.

@@sskmanentsa5326 These are differences between the era's i mentioned. Aspect: Di Stéfano Pelé Cruyff Maradona Era & Messi Cristiano Modern Era Dribbling: More individualistic, with a focus on ball control and feints / More focused on quick bursts of speed and agility to beat defenders Passing: More direct, with a focus on long balls and vertical passes / More possession-oriented, with an emphasis on short and quick passes Defending: Man-to-man marking and physical tackling were more prevalent / More zonal marking and pressing-oriented defending Pressing: Pressing was less organized and done on a more individual basis / More organized pressing as a team and a key part of tactics Space: The game was played in a larger area with more space /The game is more compact and played in a smaller area Tackling: Tackles were more physical and aggressive, with less emphasis on fair play / More focus on fair play and player safety, with a stricter approach to tackling Tempo: The game was played at a slower pace with more breaks / The game is played at a faster tempo with fewer breaks Athleticism: Players had less focus on physical fitness and athleticism / There is a greater emphasis on physical fitness and athleticism Fitness and Nutrition: Not given much importance/ Top priority for modern footballers Goalkeepers: Lesser focus on technical abilities/Highly technical and skillful General Tactics: Teams used a more rigid and structured formation / Teams are more flexible and adaptable in their tactics and formations

[@sskmanentsa5326]

@@johnpacino007 the problem with those ideas is that they focus primarily on European football, and even then they are wrong on a larger scale. Football is a worldwide sport, the ideas we see on TV now existed even back then. Possession based football: Hungary in the 50s did that and Ajax in the 70s. Tactical flexibility: Again River Plate and Torino did that in the 40s, Hungary in the the 50s and Ajax in the 70s. Ragnick learnt his pressing technique from Dnipro who dominated the 70s. Sacchi's Milan was team oriented and again, Ajax. Dribbling is always the same, there are just different styles. Tackling is more about the rules changing than player being better. Space has always depended on the opponent you face. My point is: one cannot use the whole "players are better now" argument because it is not based on truth. Players have adapted to the rules and equipment of their time. For instance, the introduction of subs allowed teams to play faster instead of pacing themselves for 90 minutes. Any style of play can be trace back and it's implementatiom depends on the rules of the time. For instance, Atleti play like Estudiantes of Argentina, Estudiantes was more effective in the 70s because the rules allowed it, not because they were better players. Even the more technical goalie argument, guys like Fillol in the 70s, Higuita, Holland's keeper in the 74 World Cup and even Jorge Campos, Kennedy Mweene and Khune in the PSL of South Africa, they were showing this ability.

@@sskmanentsa5326 "Well folks, it's pretty clear to me when I watch both eras of football. The difference between the Di Stéfano, Pelé, Cruyff, Maradona era and the modern Messi and Cristiano era is different. Just type it into Chat with GPT, and it'll bring up all the pointers I made. If you say you don't see any differences between both eras, then we'll just have to beg to differ. It's like comparing apples to oranges - they're both fruit, but they're not the same. The beautiful game has evolved, and we must appreciate the differences and celebrate them.

[@sskmanentsa5326]

@@johnpacino007 I'm saying the differences don't mean that certain players are better because of the era they played in. When you used a word like evolved, you are implying that they became better with time. Which is not the case.
