Best goal scorer of all time, Messi was a better Dribbler, R9 was more powerful, Suarez more tenacious, but this dude (IMO) best finisher of all of them
Buddy, he scored over 750 goals in official matches only. Altogether, 1002 goals. For me and for many in brazil who have seen him in his prime (psv, barça, flamengo, vasco, national team...), he was even better than r9. He missed 1990 and 1998 world cups due to injuries and 2002 due to a fight with the coach. He scored 5 goals with 2 assists in wc 1994 (7 games), won the title and the best player award.
Romario is the greatest forward - finisher of all time. Top 3 best players ever, alongside Pele and Diego Maradona. No one in the area was more talented, inteligent, fast, strong, inventive and complete, breaking a lot of records. He helds 28 records, alongside being the only player to finish 14 times top scorer in different leagues. Exploded in Vasco, then marvelled the world in PSV, Barcelona, Flamengo, Vasco again and of course the national team where he single handedly won the 1994 world cup. He was # 11 but played the cup as a #10 really, making 6 asists and 5 wonderful goals. He, Branco and Dunga were the heroes that made the penalties to beat Italy in the 94 world cup finals. He could have scored in the match but had the 2 best defenders in front of him Paolo Maldini and Franco Baresi. Still they could not held him a couple of times. The way he shoot the penaltie in the shootouts shows his absolute class. At 39 years old was named best player in South America. He was the top scorer in the brazilian league at 39 and 40 years old winning the World Club Champioships with Vasco. 1002 goals. Best finisher ever.
I've always said this, he is the rich man's Aguero.. Or Aguero is the poor man's Romario. Finishing like no one else, and pay attention to his first touch because its one of the best ever!
He could have played at 6 world cups and won maybe 3 or 4. Instead he went to one or two World Cups and won 1994 at least. If he’d gone to 1998 World Cup you’d have heard of him. He found have played in 2002 and 2006. And 1990, and 1986. He has the best goal + assists ratio of any modern brazilian player for both club and country.
I appreciated that you said wow at some of the subtler things that so many other reactors watch blank faced like the perfection of those volleys. But I have to call you out on the criticism of the keepers coming out. It's actually a sound tactic which is usually effective. Often the keeper can get there first, and failing that they unsettle and smother the attacker before they gain composure, and failing that it closes the angle creating a reduced margin to slip the ball through.
Romario's signature move is the Romario Kick....Romario won the 1994 world cup and listen to this...when they won in the lockerroom he made it clear that everyone from the Brasil Team from the cheff who cooked their food to the cleaners everyone would get an even share and they voted on it and they shared ....and because of this they boycot him from the 1998 WC
Rule number 1 of Goal keeping, come out, why? it narrows the angles to the sides, and MOST players are not great at Chipping, Romario however you cant win, stay on your line, he hits the corners, come out he chips you, or takes it round you
I agree with that! But at the same time I feel like some of those keepers were coming out way too early! Maybe if they delayed a bit it may give the defenders a chance of making a recovery!
Romário, Ronaldinho Gaúcho, Ronaldo Fenômeno, Pelé, Roberto Carlos were Brazilian players who won World Cups at a very young age. Pelé won his first World Cup at the age of 17 and he won THREE CUPS. Brazilian players win Cups because they are very talented, but they were never disciplined like Messi and CR7. That's why, for me, Brazilian players are better than Messi, because Messi fought to be number one and Brazilians are just ready. Romário, for example, played in Europe, but he missed Rio de Janeiro in Brazil a lot, he left Europe at its peak to return to the Brazilian League at a very young age. He never wanted to leave Brazil again. Brazilian players, if they were more disciplined, would be 10000 times bigger than Messi, who played FIVE Cups and only won ONE, the last one at the age of 35, different from Brazilians who, when they are good, win the Cup very young and lose interest in conquering more things with the soccer. Abs.
Here in Brazil the discussion is: who's the best striker ever, Romario or Ronaldo Fenômeno. Both have completely different playstyles, so it all comes to personal prefference. For example, Romário had officially 772 goals in 962 matches.
Romario's misfortune was being born too early to take advantage of today's massive advancements in football training and conditioning, back in his time everything was still oldschool, there were no high tech training centers, no hyper focused diet and meticulously optmized workout regimes, no suppements, no advanced medical care, just good old training and workout. He was an absurdly gifted player the old fashioned way, I can only imagine how utterly unstoppable he could've been if he was born in the 90s instead of the 70s, and reaped all the benefits of today's football training.
kind of disrespectful to compare him to Aguero... great great player but Romario literally has a solid argument to be the greatest striker ever (pure talent wise only Ronaldo and Van Basten could even compete, making other great gods of football miss out like Suarez, Henry, Eusebio, Coutinho and Muller), a top 10 player ever, all the players that have played with him say he's the most talented player they ever saw and many of then also played with Ronaldo, Laudrup played 1 year with him and says he's the most naturally gifted player he ever saw, Cruyff also coached him for 1 year and always said he was the greatest player he ever worked with by far (and he worked with freaking Van Basten and Gullit), Maradona claims he was the best player he ever played against and outplayed Maradona the 3 times. Cafu, Taffarell, Dunga all said that in their opinions he's even better than Ronaldo. I mean, Aguero is a legend and to a degree an all time great striker, but we are talking about classes here, it's like comparing Salah to Messi. Football was so diferent pre 2004 that it is hard to put into context, Romario today would be playing in the best club by age 20, back in 94 he literally forced his way out of Barcelona coz he wanted to live in Rio, literally 2 months after winning La liga as its top scorer, winning the WC as its best player, making the champions league final with a side that made its second final in 3 years and had everything to keep making it, he literally said to the president he wanted to go back to Brazil he had already done everything he wanted in Europe, age 27 as the unquestioned best player in the world... when the fuck would that ever happen today (not that I dislike it, football was way cooler when like the top brazilian and argentine clubs were on average better than the european giantes like from 1940 to 2000 and when 80% of your team was made of player fromm your country, that way talent was more evenly distribued, international matches felt more like a club truly was an italian, english or spanish club and clubs from other countries were on average stronger and competed better)
@@fernandoroza6061 People who say that says because Romario before the WC said if Brazil don’t become the champion it’s my fault. Brazilian Team from 94 was crazy. The attack duo was so good that Young Ronaldo didn’t had a chance. Even Romario don’t believe this statement. My dude it’s Brazil, it’s not Portugal. You always gonna have the creme de la creme.
@@fernandoroza6061 Only people with no knowledge say this bro. How you gonna say the attack of the team alone won the most hard tournament of the planet? Don’t even make sense...

1002 goals. Best finisher ever.
Infelizmente o mundial de clubes ele não conquistou, mas deveria tê-lo conquistado.
Romário is the best player in my opinion
He's got finess in his finishes. Definitely the best finisher.If u had him in your team it was goals assured every game
In Brazil, there's no argue that he is one of the greatest of all time. Its sad that youve never heard of him before but great video.
Greatest goalscorer that ever lived
Romario greatest finisher ever and my favourite player 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷👑👑👑
It's like Maradona, but more goalscoring
I've always said this, he is the rich man's Aguero.. Or Aguero is the poor man's Romario. Finishing like no one else, and pay attention to his first touch because its one of the best ever!
He played one full season at Barca. 1993-1994. Promised to score 30 goals in the league and win the league. Then did exactly that.
Romário,, 1002 GOLS
Every game he played it was goals assured.
He could have played at 6 world cups and won maybe 3 or 4.
Instead he went to one or two World Cups and won 1994 at least.

The man never missed. He was the best goal scorer of all time.
When Romario gives you that serious look,know that your in for a tough time.He was World class and this is someone who disliked training.

No way man... Romario just want to score, no hard work, just score.
21:27 » yup, it was in USA, 1994 ─ brazilian 4th victory on world cups
31:07 » that's him holding the '94s trophy
Yes 1994 player of the tournament golden ball fifa best player r9 was 17 his first
Romário gênio melhor atacante do mundo de todos os tempos

He was the closest to a Maradona player than Messi is
I can defo see it! He built like him
Romario is nothing like maradona. Romario is pure striker
Watch the videos of Roberto Dinamite striker of Vasco da Gama club. He inspires Romário in his beginning
He had the best first touch at Barca in their dream team. They were playing one touch football and they thought he was taking two touches.
pelé is the number one in futebol forever
Considered only behind pele in brazil
Deffo in the argument of best ever and he didnt train much
singlehandedly won the world Cup 94
6:42 » the idea is shorten the angle for the striker to score, but if the striker dribbles the keeper.... 🤷♂ lol 😅
injured before 98 world cup. he and coach did not get along 2002. though he was top scorer in the Brazal league.
Pelé Romário Maradona Neymar Messi Garrincha irstoickov Roberto Baggio Reinaldo do Atlético mineiro
Best striker ever R9 best ever
King 2
Gkeepers have make goal smaller for striker that's why
romario era foda
looking for Zico from Flamengo
Similar to Aguero , Id agree with that
❤❤
well he and Bebeto
That goal at 10:10 was against Real Madrid.
He won a worldcup for Brazil ( 1984) almost Alone! Only Maradona also made that. PS : Alive he was nastier...😉👍

way more talented than messi, Not greater. Bad work ethic. and discipline
