Okay, here’s my blog post about the “best striker in soccer history”, written from a personal, practical perspective:
Alright, so I wanted to figure out who really is the best striker ever. Like, not just my opinion, but something I could really dig into. I’ve always loved soccer, and this debate comes up all the time with my friends, you know?
First, I jumped on the computer. Nothing fancy, just started searching. Typed in stuff like “best soccer strikers,” “top goalscorers of all time,” that kind of thing. It was, let’s just say, a lot of information. So many names, so many stats. Feeling a bit overwhelmed, I needed a better way.
I decided to narrow it down. I couldn’t look at every striker ever, that’s crazy. So I made a list of the big names, the ones that always come up: Pelé, Maradona, Cristiano Ronaldo, Messi, Gerd Müller, you get the idea. The legends.
Then came the fun part – watching videos! I spent hours, seriously, hours, watching old matches, highlights, documentaries. I wasn’t just watching for fun, though. I was looking at how they played. How did they move? How did they score? What made them so special?
Here are something I noticed from the videos:
- Their goals number.
- The way they played.
- How good they were at that time.
I made notes, like, actual handwritten notes. It felt old-school, but it helped! I jotted down things like “amazing dribbling skills” for Messi, “unbelievable power” for Pelé, “pure instinct” for Müller. I was trying to capture what made each player unique.
Next, I started looking at stats. I’m not a math whiz, but goals per game, trophies won – those things matter. It’s not the whole story, but it’s part of it. I grabbed a pen and paper and wrote all their numbers.
My Conclusion
After all this, after the searching, the watching, the note-taking, the numbers, I had an answer, it is still hard to choose. It’s almost impossible to pick just one. Each player was incredible in their own way, in their own era. There’s no single “best” that applies to every way of looking at it. It’s a matter of what you value, what you appreciate in the game.
