Serie A 1984/85 Is the Greatest League of all Time - Insane Goals & Stars

[@marinmikuljan8665]

The only Super League that we will ever know for.

[@peterwest4965]

Looking at Serie A with the players they had in it back then is why some people would argue Maradona was the greatest of all time. To shine in a League full of star players and to play for a team like Napoli who were never really in contention to win anything until his arrival shows his greatness.

[@emmanuelgbafore741]

Peter West exactly my point. Messi and Ronaldo played with the generational talents at superclubs in Barca and Madrid. Maradona played against the generational talents and for a pariah club such as Napoli..

[@matheusbarth7587]

But Maradona scored only 81 goals in 7 seasons in the Serie A, Messi in only 1 season did 91 goals...there is no comparision.

[@anthonymccabe3773]

Being old enough to watch both Messi and Maradona, despite less goals, Maradona was a more all round player with a greater range of abilities, more of a team player. His impact on every team he played for was unbelievable, most so with unfashionable Napoli against a league of superstars. Messi played with the superstars, albeit he was arguably the best of his era

Matigol ..... that is the cleverest video you could do. My compliments. It's what I always say talking about football: Serie A 1984/85 is literally from another world. You could see an ordinary Udinese-Napoli in an ordinary Sunday of January, a 9th vs 8th ranked match, and you found not only Maradona and Zico, but Maradona and Zico at their pick. The n° 10 is the heart of football, and that Serie A had most of the greatest n° 10s of all time, all together, all at their pick ...... because, until that year, Platini was better than both Maradona and Zico. Suddenly after the end of the season, Fiorentina signed the young Baggio too..... so, for some days, Serie A had Platini, Baggio, Maradona and Zico. Without mentioning Falcao, Junior (fantastic player), Cerezo, the underrated Dirceu (Rip), Socrates, and all the forwards and the others you showed in the video. And a generation of fantastic italian players...... not only the 1982 world champions, but also a vaste quantity of very technic players in every role. I have to say (I'm sorry to ruin the poetry of all the story) Briegel was literally dominant that year: a force of nature that used to mark a sign for Verona on left side in every match, winning most of matches for them, that were for the rest a talented and well compact team. Crazy that to win were Verona, with Turin 2nd! Juve were focused to win their 1st Champions' Cup, AS Roma at the end of their cycle, Inter and Ac Milan not ready enough, and Maradona with a Napoli to build. Stadiums were always and everwhere literally full crowded, and they were times when there wasn't numeration for seats, and not even seats in most of the stands: you got to go to the stadium 3-4 hours before the match, trying to get a good place and then defending from others, with a sandwich and a bottle of water in your bag. The supporting was so pure, passionating and colourful. There wasn't business yet. And every single Sunday, we had ..... 70.000 people in Turin, 80.000 in Rome 85.000 in Milan 90.000 in Naples 50.000 in Florence and Genova 45.000 in Verona, Udine not less than 35-40.000 in the smallest clubs (Cagliari, Lecce, Avellino, ecc.) Unfortunately, there were already ultras fights: almost every match seemed a battle not only outside the stadiums but often also inside. Police didn't do enough All matches were played at the same time, in daytime ... 3 or 4 p.m., depending on the season: it was a civil ritual, but, at the end, we can say that it wasn't only civil .... there were other values, energies and feelings. More than a civil event for sure: the atmosphère around Serie A was simply magic. After the Sunday lunch in family, everybody at the radio and then expecting the first images at 6:30 pm, and then the evening's programs. My generation grew up this way, but also adult men were totally involved, and even mothers and grandmothers used to know the players. The air was electric even during the week. As italian kids, we took that as granted and used to believe it would be that way forever. We couldn't realize we were living a gift, exceptional days that can last little and then won't ever come back. It's been more than 15 years I've not been considering actual Italian league as a real Serie A. Those were the times. Before tacticism and rules' revisionism...... football was pure technic and fight. Perfect for the italian spirit. Just a little critic to the video: Paolo Rossi, Scirea, Tardelli and Cabrini had to be mentioned; they were World XI players those years, and they literally won everything (including all the 3 european cups), except Euro. They can be in a discussion for an All times World XI in their roles. And other italian legends too, such Bruno Conti and Antognoni. But I confirm my initial appreciation: great video 👍👏🇮🇹

Don't forget Inter Milan still have Alessandro Altobelli. Napoli also have Dani Bertoni (they scored on 1982 & 1978 World Cup final). Then Aldo Serena (Torino), Pietro Paolo Virdis (AC Milan), Beppe Giannini and Robby Pruzzo (Roma), young Ciro Ferrara (Napoli), young "future star" Michael Laudrup & Giordano (Lazio, sensationally relegated on Serie-B). Then young Vialli-Mancini (Sampdoria) was exist, even Trevor Francis the winner of 2 European Cup with Nottingham was there. Don't forget greatest CB on 80's is play (Franco Baresi), Mauro Tasotti, Ray Wilkins, Agostino di Bartolomei (ex. Roman Prince) was play on AC Milan.

Welcome to a world pre-internet...! Still, it was fab. It was fun. Even though I only ever saw one Serie A match live on TV; the one between Sampdoria and Inter in May '91, with Samp winning and eventually winning the Scudetto that season. I was happy about that!

Let alone that tickets in that time were affordable by ordinary working class people to go every weekend to watch their teams, whereas now going to a football match can be nearly a luxury.

I am 55years old and i started to watch football since the 70's with Johan Cruiff and that Ajax that made me feel in love with this sport, I am RM fan and i was suffering all the time when we played against AC Milan, it was impossible to beat them, i really enjoy Marco Van Basten so so much, but not just him, Rijkaard,Baresi or Platini was in that list, my fav team there was Inter Milan with the German tryinity, I was so fan of Matthaus, what a player!!! From 1995 La Liga from Spain reigned in the world so far as a league and all those trophies that our teams were achieved since there: Real Madrid of Capello with Raul,Suker,Mijatovic or Hierro. Super Depor since 1992 to 2000, Valencia 2000-04, Barsa, Sevilla, ATM, Los Galacticos with Ronaldo,Zidane,Figo,Roberto Carlos, Pep Team, Real Madrid of the 4 Champions with CR7,Ramos,Modric or Benzema.

The good thing about those times is that big clubs weren't so insanely stacked with the best players in the world as they are today, which left lots of great players for the smaller clubs. In those times Juventus, Milan, Inter, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester United, etc... would only have 3 or 4 great stars, the other players would typically be just good or average players. That allowed for teams like Udinese to have Zico and Carnevale, Fiorentina to have Socrates and Passarella, Verona to have Elkjaer Larsen and Briegel, Sampdoria to have Vierchowod, Mancini, Vialli and Souness, and so on, so talent was more evenly distributed. In that way small teams could actually challenge the big teams. These days all of those players would be in the big 3, some of them even on the bench, and small teams have to manage with the leftovers. Let's not even talk about Maradona, today a player like him would be in either Real Madrid or Barcelona, not a chance that he'd play for a team like Napoli. Personally, I miss those time when the difference between big and small teams was not so brutal as it is today.
