probably, as long as you give him the role that he wanted, free role playmaker
how come you know it when you never try it
riquelme was the special one
did you know that his best goal came in 2012 when he was already 34 years old, mind you, he had so many superb goals in his entire career, & to me, scoring was his 3rd best skill

to make it more interesting, that goal was a crucial one that sent out the 2012 club world cup champion, corinthians in libertadores qfinal, boca juniors managed to take revenge after loss to same team in 2012 libertadores final before that
(correction, that goal actually in 2013 & riquelme aged 35 years old)

that term is so broad, underrated in relation to what? when valeron was at his peak he was fantastic, and it left an impression for depor fans, but was it enough to garner the attention of a broader audience? and btw all those names, even on their teams (maybe besides riquelme), there are people i'd rate above them as more influential.
if you mean they are 'underrated' because as good as they are they seem largely forgotten, then yes, that may be true, and its not just them, on those teams that had those players you had guys like djalminha, roy makaay, tristan, mendieta, aimar, baraja, vicente, rufete, chivu, cordoba, and the list goes on. if you mean 'underrated' from the standpoint that they should be considered better than others who made moves at the elite level, then that i would have to disagree with....
Not better but around the same level.
I'm a bit iffy on Rufete and Djalminha being consider elite from that list tho.
But as for everyone else I feel they could be talked about in the same breath as say Pires, Ibra, Totti, and the like. I'm only judging by sheer capabilities of the players and not their trophies they may or may not have won.

btw veron for some reason is being slandered here, once again, veron and riquelme, two different positions. riquelme attacking mid, veron central mid. from an offensive standpoint, it might be best to go with riquelme, but veron i think had the better peak and i might lean towards veron's value at parma and lazio over riquelme's .....as far as the national team goes, i think riquelme had more influence than veron......difficult to argue between the two though, different positions and neither won anything major with the national team (as far as world cups and copa americas)...veron did flop in 02 tho
It is not because of Samuel if Real Madrid was a circus in 2004 with a team built with No balance
It is not because of Samuel , it is because of Real Madrid. You ruined him, simply.
But yes , Metzelder and Gravesen were better.

that's is the correct thinking, player should be judge on their ability, trophies just a surplus
team won you the trophy, best player just a part of it

Re: why riquelme is so underrated in goallegacy?
@lordawesome, i agree with those people being on a similar level to pires, ibra, totti et al (i might rank totti above them, but i won't put him on the upper echelon) . @robespierre, we take full responsibility for samuel, it was a tough time for anyone to join madrid, that team needed a disciplinarian, hence capello....lol gravesen, woodgate, pavon, diogo, memories
if you judge players solely on ability, recoba might be the best player of all time, whilst he definitely has more talent and abilities than a lot of players, there are way too many guys i'd pick before even considering recoba, if i'm building a team, hence why we look at a player's value to a team in terms of him bringing success (not necessarily just taking titles at face value, considering there are scrubs who were lucky to be on certain championship teams)

but to me, riquelme was more consistent than recoba, & by the way, riquelme always stand out above recoba every time they met

exactly, which is one of the reasons there are other people i'd consider on my team. the recoba example wasn't necessarily a comparison but rather an example to show one can have the talent and ability, but what we crave is to see that exhibited consistently and at the highest level of the sport

what make me sad when i talk about riquelme as one of the best playmaker in football history, others called me hipster & delusion
very good player can't almost produce superb performance every time against the very best
the special one would
riquelme was one of them
to him, to beat the very best, is not necessary by playing with big team, any team can, not just beat the very best, but beat with style, that is awesome

Re: why riquelme is so underrated in goallegacy?
Seriously I agree with Guest about Riquelme underrated on GL.
Maybe because I know a good number of Riquelme fans who helped me to aprpeciate him
tbh I rate him as one of best players seen as insight into the game and creativeness . Pure class.
Seriously , BC, how many Argentinian trequartistas were of his level in last 15 years ?
Besides his career is not so bad as some think . Best Boca Juniors player ever , hs World Cup was very good , Villareal experience was great, Barcellona .. I said before , when a South American meets Van Gaal...he is done.
Probably his main limit was about the fact you had to build the team around him so as to get his best, even more than the dynamisn probably

Guest_07, do you think Riquelme in WC2006 was more important than Messi in 2014?
