Is your mom Domenech's wife? Pires is "diestro", he can play both on the left and right, but obviously was more profiled on the left(like Hleb right now) during his time at Highbury. The undefeated Arsenal was probably one of the best teams of the last decade, and it's a shame they couldn't win in Europe(i'm not a gunner at all) but i'm not blind enuff to notice they probably have some of the most effective/stylish touch passing games we've seen. The spacing, pace, passing, timing are all just ridiculous.
I like Del Piero too, but most elegant striker? Nah!
At 1:22 splitting the defense and the "vaselina" to finish the keeper off. WHOA. His speed was average and while being tricky in terms of skills he was a class prue dribbler that could slice and dice and had a left foot that could do anything when striking the ball. He created feints of great simplicity and ingenuity to devastating effect.
For me, genius is more than simply being one of the best at attacking. It's the ability to do the unexpected, something completely ridiculous and pull it off successfully. The other type of genius is the ability to read the game to such a degree that the difficult things look simple. I've already talked about him before, but Laudrup has one of the best understandings of geometric spaces I've ever seen, passes that other players wouldn't even attempt are completed deftly and seemingly without effort.
