Platini and zico were great, great players. All time greats. Loved watching both of them. Its hard to compare the 2 in the italian league because zico played for a smaller team(although he did score alot of goals and had a good understanding with causio) personally i would choose zico over platini because of how he and brazil 82 inspired a generation and left a lasting legacy to this day. And zico was much more beautiful to watch. .great post yet again mate !!!
ReplyDeleteIt is a shame that zirco did not get to play for one of the big teams in Europe
ReplyDeleteZico had the chance to join a big european team..there were alot of offers made to him but for some reason he liked udinese.. Maybe it was the 3 foreign player ruling of the time ?
