Would you believe me if I told you that there was a midfielder who, not only had an incredibly low work rate on the defensive side of the game, was incredibly unathletic, and didn’t like to score goals, but also hated dribbling the ball. Imagine this: A midfielder with all those attributes but was so good at his job, he would rarely ever lose the ball. A defender who would receive the ball, take a few dribbles if any, then pass it out. A master of the footballing term ‘toque’, which involves tiring and confusing the opposition by keeping the ball moving, passing with your first touch where possible.
And when pressed by even multiple opposition, somehow, this unathletic and quote and quote “lazy” midfielder was almost impossible to disposses. Imagine Xavi in the 1980s who had a little too much off the green to smoke - then just give him an insanely wild hairstyle and you have arguably Colombia’s greatest player ever - Carlos Valderrama.
So today, we look at his story.

Footballers such as Gilberto Silva, Juan Román Riquelme, Andrea Pirlo, Dimitar Berbatov, Michael Carrick, Sergio Busquets and Mesut Özil all made the game look so easy to the point they were considered lazy or not ambitious enough. It wasn't until they retired or stop playing football people realize they were irreplaceable.

Same here. My step-dad got me into playing and we would watch the games when the national team (Colombia) would play. It was the 90s, and man I was amazed. Later on, when I was playing in high school, El Pibe came to Azteca Park, in Houston, and my step dad took my brother, my girlfriend, and myself to see if we could get a picture with him. We did, plus we were able to get autographed jerseys that we brought with us that day. It's my fondest memory of meeting a legend in the sport I love plus being able to share that experience with my family will always be unforgettable.

Man, the football back in the 70s and 80s (early 90s too) was something else, you know? It wasn't just a game; it was like this beautiful dance of passion and skill. Johan Cruyff was like the conductor of an orchestra, with his Total Football wizardry. Every move, every touch-it was like he was painting a masterpiece with a ball. Then there's Carlos Valderrama, with that wild hair and crazy style. He played like he was having the time of his life on the pitch, making it all look effortless. It was infectious, man. You couldn't help but smile watching him do his thing. And Diego Maradona, oh boy. The guy was a legend. The Hand of God, the Goal of the Century-it was like he was living in a different dimension. You could feel the raw passion oozing out of him, not just for the game but for life itself. What I dig most about that era is how these guys weren't just playing to survive or for big paychecks. Nah, they were out there playing for the love of the game. The pitch was their playground, and they were the kids who never wanted to go home. It's like they were saying, "Let's forget everything else and just play some damn good football." Those were the days, my friend. Football wasn't a business; it was a love affair, and those players were the poets of the beautiful game. It's a vibe that's hard to capture these days with all the big money and politics in football. But man, I just love reminiscing about the magic those guys brought to the pitch.

Thank you for this shoutout to our Historic Captain "El Pibe." People don't know how good he was, and I think possibly he never got to his full potential. Limited by a lack of a professional infrastructure in the game at that time. There were no Psychologists, Nutritionists, Personal fitness coaches, physical therapists, etc. If he would've had the right support, he would've been in another level. I remember my Mom was in charge of keeping his composure in France. Sometimes he called her crying saying he didn't want to be in France no more. And, for a town guy like him, it was a big shock to go to see the world like that, without the support he needed. And honestly, my mom wasn't the right person for that.

I'm Colombian and his skills were honed not because of the beach, but the type of ball he used. It's call a cloth ball because it's made of, well, cloth or old fabric. It's wrapped tight with string to get the shape and coated with shoe glue. The result is a non bouncy ball but hard to control and dribble (Still sold nowadays). And he wasn't lazy or care free, just simple in what he played; his job was to retain the ball and control the midfield with quick passing. He didn't deviate from that.

Football is all about moving the ball. Flashy dribble moves look cool and exciting for the audience, but rarely achieve anything for the game vs. a properly structured and layered defence. A brilliant pass, however, can dismantle even the best defence in the world. For that, players have to be running to receive the ball; not to use it. It is a different mentality and the better and more beautiful way to play the game imo.

That goal against Germany is pure gold, with the beautiful finishing by Freddy Rincón (another legend) as the cherry on top

More like if KDB went deep position or Xavi got kidnapped by Pablo Escobar. You clearly underestimate Busquests defending ability but he's not a scrub defender.

@@bimapriambada1098 Both players play similar football, they know how to protect the ball, slow, composed, simple and they both don't like carrying the ball for long distances, and imo Busquets is a better defender than Valderrama, and he also has better understanding of space, but what made Valderrama greater was his ability to create low risk high rewards chances from his own side and his scoring ability, he loved scoring screamers.

This is also how Thomas Muller plays. He doesn't dribbles a lot but still can passed through with his one touch pass.

Just because he made it look super effortless doesn't mean he wasn't athletic. To keep the ball against 4 players of that level like that play after play is just a ludicrous level of athleticism. The fact he achieved the record for most assists at 39 is absolutely insane.

He played what, 4 years in France, and he is still remembered as an icon of Ligue 1. I mean, the guy is hard to forget, but his style of play, not just his looks, was really unique.

i went to the colombia vs romania game during the 94 world cup but wasn't aware that a tragedy occurred. i'll look it up. i don't follow soccer and was a kid at the time so probably didn't pay attention to news.
