How highly do you rate Rivaldo?
by Babun Wed Feb 01, 2012 10:37 pm
He was one of the greatest players with R9 for Brazil in my opinion. His name goes under like Eto'o over the years but he was a monster for Brazil 
He's also someone the current Farca misses to be really exciting. He could pull goals out of his a** from midfield in many ways

This. Best Barca player in between the dream team and Rijkaards Barcelona.

I think it was better than Ronaldinho tbh, was definitely more consistent and considering he basically kept Barca in the top 4 on his back in his prime.
Was truly a WC player and probably one of those that get forgotten about through history like Laudrup etc etc

Better than Ronaldinho...what you talkin bout Mole.
Anyway, a great player..he won the world player of the year at his peak and really deserved it. People dont remeber, there was a point where he was the best player in the world.
Saved our backside many times, a fantastic player and its a shame he was forced out.

talent wise , among the greatest , yeah he is the main reason ( with R9 too of course ) Brazil won wc
You put rivaldo is this barca
along with messi and eto'o
Much better than shevchenko, Cr7 ,henry, even ronaldinho ( more regular ), almost equal with ronaldo R9 ( didn't get the hype )
He carried on this team so definitely WClasssss. one of my fav ever..

What i meant Dani which i didnt explain very well is that Ronaldinho wouldnt have done better than Rivaldo in that Barca team who carried on many occasions.
He was more consistent than Ronaldinho and also better at the National level.
Obviously Ronaldinho was more talented and a better player to be frank.

Ronaldinho's tricks were to hard to understand he used them perfectly in barca but in national team nobody understood his tricks thats why he was not same in NT. but rivaldo didnt depend on tricks he just was monster. that brazil team would be only team to compete with current spain i think

Yeah thats fair.
But I wouldnt blame Rivaldo or Dinho if they didnt do well, Ronaldinho carried us his first season to 4th or 3rd, I cant remember, while having a worse team then Rivaldo ever had bar his first season maybe.
Yeah, he was probably better overall for Brazil.
But peak to peak, as hard as it is to believe because Rivaldo was that good, Ronaldinho was at least a level above that.

Ronaldinho is one of the main reasons barca is what they are today.when he came to barca,they were trophyless for years and he was the main guy who changed the tide

Deco and Eto'o were just as important infact id argue Eto'o was more important.

This. Best Barca player in between the dream team and Rijkaards Barcelona.
Alongside Figo....b4 he went to Real obviosuly
I rate him extremely high. Probably more down to earth than Ronaldinho.... its too bad he flopped so badly when he went to Milan....but then hes done well in Asia etc....a true professional...
I'll always remember him always have a love of shooting from extreme long range, and actually beating Schmichael twice in a game, from the exact position! Dont see Schmichael getting pwned like that ever!

He was really exciting to watch, and he was Barca's cornerstone in the early 2000's. Kluivert, Saviola, Rivaldo, Cocu, De Boer, Enrique, Overmars...
I wonder if the post 2006 Barca fans even saw them play together. I liked Barca back then more than today.

I follow Barca from the late 90’s - early 00’s.
Kluivert was my favourite player back then
