Untitled[edit]

This article needs to be completely rewritten.

Anything concrete on the links with Liverpool? Londo06 15:57, 9 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Seriously, someone take the time to rewrite this, it reads like a grade 10 essay. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.170.8.75 (talk) 17:22, 8 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed about the rewriting. I am not knowledgeable enough about Recoba - or soccer in general - to complete the task, but I did make some grammar corrections. In my opinion, this article has been overly editorialized.Yem75 (talk) 22:29, 30 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Recoba[edit]

Recoba is the best soccer player in the world!

Playing style[edit]

need to be re-written with NPOV. placed here for future re-write by others.

Recoba's strengths are his dribbling, technique, pace and a strong, accurate left-foot shot. He is a free-kick specialist, and has scored goals of great quality, an example of which were his two goals during his debut with Inter, and basically all the goals scored during his time at Venezia.

Recoba is known for being a player who can be one of the world's greatest players, but he always seems to fall short because of his constant injuries. He was in the 1998&ndash99 season the greatest player in the world but with his poor consistency, he could never hold onto that name or his wage price which was the highest in the world.^{[citation needed]} He was perhaps summed up best in a 2003 Guardian article. The reporter commented that few, if any, have been born with Recoba's ability; however, his mentality continues to fail him at the most crucial moments - he continued by comparing Recoba with Real Madrid's Raul, whom he stated has only half or even a quarter of Recoba's ability and technique, but the mentality of a true champion. In a situation where Recoba loses his heart for the match, Raul's mentality serves only to heighten his workrate and focus his skills. As a result of this Recoba has featured as a substitute in recent seasons, though few would question his ability to turn match when he is on form.
