#3. Unparallelled close control and dribbling
This one there is no arguing with this. There are no debates to this question – nobody in the history of the game has ever dribbled a football quite like this. The ball trots happily alongside him everytime he goes on a meander – and it never leaves his control. Unlike the great dribblers of yore like Diego Maradona and Garrincha, the ball is a lot closer to his body, and he depends on no fancy tricks or flicks to get past the man standing in front.
At times it’s almost insultingly simple. Take the ball, and run. That’s it. His ability to accelerate to lightning speed from a standing start and decelerate even faster to dead standstill combines with this unmatched dribbling, and low center of gravity to make it virtually impossible for anyone to take the ball off him.
