[@eureka0107]

Okocha was not only a joy to watch, but I also think he perfectly embodies the kind of playmaker that could only arise in a bygone era of football. As brilliant as he was, nowadays between positional play, gegen pressing and lowest as low gets block defending he would told he is too unathletic, or too slow, or doesn't have enough end product or doesn't track back enough, and he would either see very little game time as a starter or he would be forced to become just another boring cog in a machine. I like some of the aspects of modern football, but I also lament the chronic lack of spontaneity that ball players like Okocha used to bring. I hope this old man hasn't bored you with his whining.

[@cadrollhunting3564]

Okocha is one of the many players of the 90s and early 2000s that are getting more overrated with every year that passes by. Sure, he was an amazing dribbler, but he was mainly inconsistent and unproductive. I followed his career from his early days in frankfurt and while he had moments of absolute magic, that was the exception and he never turned into the world class player people thought he would become. In the end his career peaked very early and he never even played for a single top club in Europe in his whole career.

[@worlddd7777]

Sure, but football in those days was actually fun and full of world class, super talented players. Now, football is so sterile and boring it is incredible

[@cadrollhunting3564]

@@worlddd7777 i totally agree with you and i really enjoyed football back in the day more as well, so much more flair and unique characters.

[@Lomienmartins]

Is this guy not in the league of today's Messi and Ronaldo?

[@african-history-fountain]

He sure is. He's even more skilful than them... like 10 times more skills...

[@eureka0107]

Yes and no. I personally think Pelé and Maradona are the only players you can compare to Messi in terms of overall talent in the whole history of the game, but his dribbling is often more centered around being practical than spectacular. Ronaldo started out as a trickster winger with fancy footwork, but he relied on skills less and less to focus on goalscoring as he aged. Okocha was always different, he'd often forget efficiency to do whatever was more fun to him and the audiences, and as a result his end product in goals and assists wasn't as great as it could have been. It doesn't help that his defensive work rate made 30+ years and onwards Messi and Cristiano look like prime Ngolo Kanté. Most coaches in the modern game wouldn't stand for that and would have curtailed his creativity or benched him, at which point it wouldn't be the Jay Jay Okocha we knew. To summarize, there's no way to equalize the era that allowed Okocha to express himself to today's football.
