Will Pele And Maradona Still Be The Best If They Played Against Present Defense Line?

This is what defences looked like against Pele:
This is what defences looked like against Maradona:
This is what defences look like against Messi:
Not only there is a clear difference in intensity, but also in organization.
In the 60s, defenders simply were there trying to take the ball, one by one.
In the 80s, defenders were also trying to take the ball, but, several at the same time.
In the 2010s, defenders are trying to contain the player, they have line of defence and they are marking other players besides the one with the ball.
Apart from the organization factor, you also have the physical factor, today defenders are much more fit, faster and stronger.
Combine all this with the amount of information and statistic players have of the opposition in modern football and you have almost a different sport.
I respect Maradona and Pele legacy and think they are one of the best players ever, but putting them in today football would be almost like a impossible adaptation, sure they would perform, but it wouldn’t be like in their time, modern football is just too evolved.

Diego Maradona: Argentina legend dies aged 60


Football legend Diego Maradona has died at the age of 60.


The former Argentina attacking midfielder and manager had a cardiac arrest at home.
He had successful surgery on a brain blood clot earlier in November and was to be treated for alcohol dependency.
One of the greatest players of all time, Maradona was captain when Argentina won the 1986 World Cup, producing a series of sublime individual performances.
He played for Barcelona and Napoli during his club career, winning two Serie A titles with the Italian side.
