Some lovely touches and great skill at times but overall I don't think he's that great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be doing something right as he looks like he's going to win the league with Juve but I've never seen him have a really good game. He did score that class goal against Italy in Euro 2004 like.

LeazesMag 0 Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 (edited) Understand Ronaldhino is first, thought beckham would be though.
