    Is there anything under the eye of heaven so exquisite, so divine, as this marvelous sequence, 9:20 - 9:33, equal in baroque genius to that of any of the finest passages of JS Bach? Who could not weep, in utter joy, in watching this? Heaven protect the immortal soul of Di Stefano!

    This is probably the earliest extensive video of him, and gives us an idea of what he must have been in his prime, which was certainly between 1947 and 1958. He was known for running the 100 mt. in 11" in his 20's, and the few short videos of him with River Plate show a super-quick and agile player. How many of these plays of him traversing the pitch from back to front scattering opponents, all the while playmaking like a wise Yoda and netting one goal per game, have we missed?

      the combination of being a deep-lying "regista", moving all around the pitch, basically orchestrating the attack, and on top of that being technically fantastic, able to dribble through opponents easily, AND a prolific goalscorer... this combination of traits, at this level of skill, is pretty much unheard of as far as I know.
      an icon from a time when football was not so specialized as it is now... you don't have a defined role, you just do everything you can to make your team win!
      and the impact he had on Real Madrid speaks for itself...

    This is mind-blowing to watch.
    To have such a deft touch & close ball control & sharp change of directions while dribbling to leave defenders stranded on basically, a water mud hole of a pitch, coupled with the heavy medicine like ball they played with & heavy boots used back then, is extraordinary.

      Maradona en 2020 a dit la meme chose
      Georges Best a dit pour une interview pour SoFoot en 2O15 comme Charlton dans les annees 90
      qu il n a jamais vu un meilleur footballeur que Distefano
      Il suffit de regarder la video de dessus a 32 ans dans la boue avec un ballon lourd imaginerais tu un autre jouer comme ca ? non
      Sur le podium je repete c est Distefano Pele Maradona
      Cruyff ensuite et Messi car ce dernier moins complet dribble mieux que tous
      mais c est son seul avantage
      Maradona qui etait vif precis et complet est audessus de tous niveau technique et toucher de balle
      Pele etait aussi complet avec une superbe toucher de balle digne de Puskas etait aussi extremement intelligent il savait mieux que tous ou allait le ballon et l adversaire a la fraction de seconde mais il etait en plus agile fulgurant il etait le meilleur en saut
      Cruyff dont l idole et modele etait Distefano etait tres rapide aussi endurant technique partout sur le Terrain avec une bonne vision de jeu sur ce dernier point Platini a depasse le maitre Cruyff
      Platini est peut etre meme le plus intelligent de tous mais sur tout le terrain pas aussi genial que Pele pour prevoir ou allait le ballon et l adversaire mais presque
      Mais quand a Distefano il etait inhumain non pas qu il creait des choses spectaculaires comme Pele ou Maradona
      mais inhumain car il etait complet infatigable intelligent il faisait tout On ne va pas dire que c etait le meilleur dribbleur mais ses feintes montrent le niveau , feintant mieux que Pele Messi ou quiconque ses feintes de corps et ses passes faisant penser a Zidane
      ce que les videos ne montrent pas aussi ce sont ses buts en scorpion mais comme disait Distefano ce ne sont pas le nombre de buts qui font le meilleur joueur

      Jean Ditou Pelé & Di Stéfano are the two best. They had the fewest weaknesses in their game. The two most *_complete_* players. With most of the other great's, ( Best, Maradona, Ronaldo(R9), Zidane, Messi ) i can spot weaknesses, in their game when assessing them. Not so with Don Alfredo & O'Rei Pelé.
      I think only Cruyff & Beckenbauer run them the closest in terms of completeness, even though Maradona & Messi were more skillful players, than them
      This is were most people go wrong, when assessing players. They conflate a skifull player with being the *_best_* , even when the player is limited elsewhere in their game. I. e. One-sided footed, lacking great ariel & skifull heading abilities like Maradona & Messi & prolific, venomous goalscoring like Maradona.
      Di Stéfano & Pelé excelled in those areas Maradona & Messi lacked & could give them both a run for their money in the areas Maradona & Messi were super strong in, like dribbling & creative passing.

      He was very active in defensive phase and this is why I have a hard time comparing him with any contemporary players. You'd essentially need a hard-working playmaking midfielder who scores a goal per game if you'd want to emulate him. He really could do everything.
      As for his speed - he was relatively fast, but it was never one of his outstanding qualities (although we don't have almost any footage from his earlier years in South America).
      His passing was top-notch as was his overall technical ability (I'd probably compare him to Iniesta in that particular component, never flashy but always sublime and effective).

      Technically, he had the midfield guile & passing range of Kevin De Bruyne. The clinical goalscoring potency of Cristiano Ronaldo & the fast, surging midfield dribbles of Michael Laudrup. Plus, having the roaming engine & defensive interception midfield play of N'gola Kante.
      There's no active player around that combines all those qualities into one player, like Di Stéfano did. Him & Pelé are the two most complete players in my estimation, as they didn't have a weakness.
