Top Rated Strikers In Last Ten Years – Part 9
Recently, the player was criticized for a hand ball that he made which resulted in France getting knocked out of the running in the 2010 World Cup. The match was against the Republic of Ireland.
Thierry did apologise for that incident but he still was blamed for France’s loss in the World Cup. Ever since then, the player lost his form so he moved to the United States of America.
-Ronaldo:
Ronaldo is a Brazilian who is loved by all. He currently plays for Corinthians and has gone through clubs like PSV, Barcelona, AC Milan, Real Madrid, Inter Milan and Cruzeiro.
He holds the record of being the biggest goal-scorer in the World Cup and is thought to be one of the finest strikers of his generation, with his goal scoring abilities almost unmatched by any other player.
The Brazilian has always kept an amazing goals scored to matches played ratio. He started his career with Cruzeiro and then moved to PSV.
Ronaldo reached his super stardom when he scored fifty four goals in his fifty seven appearances there. He then was signed by Barcelona where he scored another forty seven goals in forty nine appearances.
The player then decided to move to Italy where he played for Inter Milan and was a creative striker for the club for the next five years. Later, he went to Real Madrid in a multi million pound transfer.
With the Los Blancos, he scored eighty three goals in a hundred and twenty seven appearances after which Ronaldo moved to AC Milan in 2007 but wasn't able to maintain his form and thus was criticized for his fitness. So, he ultimately decided to move back
to his home country and signed with the Corinthians.
Still, Ronaldo is one of the most celebrated football personalities in Brazil who deserves a spot in Brazil’s hall of fame. He was amazing in the 1998 World Cup but wasn't able to score in the final match against France and had to see them walk away with
the trophy.
In the 2002 World Cup, Ronaldo was once again amazing and he scored in the finals making sure that they were made World Champions that day.
Ronaldo was not in his best of forms for the 2006 World Cup but still managed to net three goals for Brazil.
-Hernan Crespo:
Hernan Crespo is an Argentinean player who is currently a member of Parma and has gone through clubs like AC Milan, Genoa, Chelsea, Inter Milan, River Plate and Lazio.
He is one of the best Argentinean footballers of the decade and has a successful career. He started with River Plate and had a brilliant run and then got transferred to Parma.
He gave some brilliant performances for Parma and played a key role in their success in Italy and all over Europe. Then, he made his move to Lazio at a phenomenal fee, where the player literally worked wonders as the Argentinean scored forty eight times
from just seventy three appearances.
Then, Crespo got signed to Chelsea when the Blues were trying with all their might to build up a powerful team. He had a rather mediocre spell there and got loaned out to AC Milan in the following season.
Jose Mourinho persuaded the player to again join Chelsea for another season as a competition for Didier Drogba. But, he was again loaned out to Inter Milan for two years. After the loan term ended, the Argentinean got signed to Nerazzurri and had a favourable
term under the Portuguese manager, Jose Mourinho.
