Zico, Brazilians are on another level to English and British players

[joseivo]

Kevin Keegan pra muitos e um desconhecido, mais pra quem o viu jogar pra mim foi o melhor jogador inglês de todos os tempos, não vi Bobby Charlton.

[hamishmcqueen]

Different types of player. Zico had more natural ability, passing ability & free kicks. KK worked hard at his game to reach the heights he did & was brilliant in the air for his height & courageous.

[mostafabouaity]

I remember keegan...great player"Southampton and Hamburg in Germany" ..but Zico&Maradona the were Magicians..

[rohitpurkait]

Kevin Keegan was choosed by Zico in his dream team. Zico is the only player to understand kevin's importance.

[paremarkes]

Zico was 10 times better than Keegan and any other footballer in the world from 78 till 83

[donaldduck]

I don’t think England’s ever produced a player on the level of zico

[SuperBartles]

Keegan's career was a testament to the power of sheer hard work...with some talent, plenty of courage and a good deal of speed. And he just kept going at this pace, relentlessly. With those attributes he achieved great things.

He never thought he was anywhere near Best, Maradona etc in terms of skill

[Interceptorv]

Beh, Keegan è stato uno dei più forti giocatori d' dei più forti giocatori del

[joseantoniobravocaro]

Dos enormes futbolistas, en su época estaban en el top 5 mundial, Keegan era un jugador peligrosisimo, pero Zico era pura magia y talento.

[jimcarrey]

No english player has ever been better than anyone specially a Brazilian legend let's be serious.

[spencerglover]

Zico is one of the greatest players ever, in the top 10, keegan isn’t

[andreluizricardodeoliveira]

Zico um gigante mas Kevin Keegan jogava por prazer e alegria pro futebol jogado na Europa naquele tempo!!!

[wiwiksundari]

Kevin Keegan > Phil Foden; Zico > Neymar Jr

[PincoPallino-zhwm]

Despite not having made it even to the semis, the 1982 Brazil was an AMAZING team. So many talented players! Falcao, Socrates, Zico, Eder, Cerezo, etc. I think the weakest link was the goalkeeper Peres. Had they had Taffarel, it would have been one of the best teams ever.

[nwaleed]

i love both players so much .. am neither English nor Brazilian .. I put them both at similar levels though they play different positions and styles. however, to compare them from this game is unfair: you can watch Zico vs. England on friendly 1981 (1-0 by Zico) or Flamengo Liverpool 1981 in Tokyo (3-0) where Zico was man of the game and really produced amazing moments.

[Jackie-jisj]

ZICO WAS FAR GREATER THAN MESSI. MARADONA IS THE KING THOUGH 🤴

[johanntschoe]

What a stupid question. It is as stupid as asking "what is better? Beer or wine?"

[markgarduno]

Zico was far better than Keegan. But Keegan was still as good as it gets. Both my hero's as growing up and I modeled my play after the two.
