Technical players assist more than they score...? Wtf does this mean?


And footwork and first touch are techniques... I think you may be confusing technique with just great ball control .

To me a technical player is someone who makes plays for his teammates. Doesn't necessarily have speed or super strength but has the brain to control a teams defense by simply shifting his hips or finds space around to keep a play alive. If you watch the likes of Sergio Busquets, Iniesta you'll see these guys barely move on the field but no matter where they are they could feed a ball that is threat from anywhere. I guess to me technical players are the center mids of the team

Ehhhh Shayk ain't have nothing to do with it. Just like Kobe, Ronaldo's game was based off pure athleticism speed, and power. He was never technically good. Madrid tried working him into the midfield position a bit more a couple of seasons ago but he lacked vision(he couldn't play well with his back toward the goal)and overall touch to find space in a more crowded midfield. Safe to say he'll be winger when he retires and nothing more. Still doesn't take away the fact he's one of the greatest we have seen.

He's confused. Think this guy only considers players who can pass the ball well (i.e. midfielders) as good technical players.

LOL you've recently just got into soccer haven't you? In soccer when you try to prove someone's technical the last thing you bring up is goals scored. Im talking technical as in Iniesta, Paul Scholes, Sergio Busquets, Michael Ballack, Steven Gerrard, Xavi, Messi, Xabi Alonso. Technical players in soccer are players who control the tempo of the game and are pretty much the masterminds of game plans being executed i.e. The quarterbacks on the field(pertaining to soccer). If Ronaldo was technical he would have no problem controlling the game from the midfield position. JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE SCORES A shytLOAD OF GOALS DOES NOT MEAN THEY ARE A TECHNICAL PLAYER. Get that through your head first. Ronaldo is my favorite player been watching him since he tore man untd up that one time United played against Lisbon sporting and wowed the world. I'm telling you Ronaldo is not a technical player(he's a fukking goal scorer) and you bring up how many goal scoring records he's broken. Take this L good sir. Anyone who knows anything about soccer will tell you the players I listed ^^^^ above are better technical players than Ronaldo. Yeah they don't score but they set up goal scorers like Ronaldo to score. Go on YouTube look up the Iniesta and Xavi highlights of there assist. That is technical. Go look up the skills of Paul Scholes. That is technical. Showing me how many goals Ronaldo has scored over his career is by far the worst example of you trying to tell me he is technical.

What am I reading here?

C.Ronaldo is more technical than anyone you have listed except Messi and maybe Iniesta. Have people already forgotten about Ronaldo at Sporting, United and his early Madrid days,

Scholes and Xavi I wouldn't actually consider as technical players, yes there is a technical component to their game, but their game were more based on vision, positioning and decision making.
