The best attacking mid-fielder i have ever seen so far are Maradona, Messi and Baggio who can dribble with art, score, pass, assist and specialize in free kick etc. Messi is the fastest among 3 and is also the most fortunate as he had no major injuries in his entire life...Maradon suffered from drug and Baggio suffered from major knee injuries. Their commonality is that they all played in world cup final with Baggio once, Maradona twice and Messi twice. and they all love no. 10 jersey so much.
