20 years Maradona-22 years Pele-24 years Beckenbower

The legends of the world soccer community are dying one by one. Diego Maradona (Argentina), Pele (Brazil) in 2022, and Franz Beckenbauer (Germany) on the 7th passed away.

If leading media and soccer enthusiasts do not select the best 11 in soccer history, the passage of time can be felt that those who were considered the best players in history die every other year, even if time passes to the point where they are called "a person who does not know soccer."

Beckenbauer, the greatest defender in football history

Beckenbauer, who died on the 7th, was born in Munich in 1945 and is considered the only player-manager-administrator in the history of soccer.

As a player, he led Germany's Bayern Munich to the top of the German Bundesliga four times and led the European Cup, the predecessor of the UEFA Champions League, to three consecutive wins. Beckenbauer's Munich achievement, which won three consecutive Champions League titles from 1973 to 1976, is a record of three consecutive Champions League losses, which is only four times in the history of soccer.

Along with such a great club career, he scored a career point by leading the German national team to the victory at the 1974 West German World Cup in his country. Johan Cruyff, then called "Total Soccer," won the final against the Netherlands, which is considered the greatest World Cup final in soccer history.

Beckenbauer, who won the 1972 Euro and achieved a great career as a "captain" in both the club and the national team, is also mentioned as the greatest "leader" in world soccer history, not only in skills but also in skills. Despite being a defender, Beckenbauer won the European Football Player of the Year award in 1972 and 1976, and is the only defender to have received the Ballon d'Or twice.

He is considered the founder of the defensive position called "Libero," and has everything as a defender, including not only his overwhelming defensive ability but also his attacking ability and pass ability, so when it comes to picking the "best defender" in the history of soccer to this day, all the backs value Beckenbauer the most.

His career after retirement was also impressive. As a coach of the West German national team, he won the World Cup championship as a captain and a coach respectively. Since 1994, he became the president of Bayern Munich and became an administrator, winning the league title and the UEFA Cup. At the 2006 World Cup in Germany, he was also the chairman of the organizing committee. He was also a successful soccer player, coach and administrator.

Maradona, Pele, and Messi

Maradona's death in 2020 was shocking. It was a death from a heart attack, but there was a lot of controversy surrounding the death.

Maradona is famous for leading SSC Napoli to victory in Serie A in Italy and leading Argentina to the World Cup. Napoli, who barely avoided relegation by one point before joining Maradona, won the eighth place in the 1984-1985 season, the third place in the second year, and the first Serie A championship in 61 years since the 1986-1987 season. It was the first time in 33 years since Maradona that Kim Min-jae won Napoli in the 2022-2023 season.

Maradona also became a global star due to his famous 'Hand of God' handling score and 60-meter dribble goal against England in the 1986 World Cup in Mexico, and is considered the last time he won a World Cup with his personal strength through his legendary record of five goals and five assists in seven World Cup matches.

In 2022, the "soccer emperor" Pele passed away. He led Brazil to victory at the age of 17 in the 1958 World Cup, and was also a key player in the 1962 and 1970 World Cups, the only player ever to have won three World Cups. Pele, who was known for scoring more than 1,000 goals throughout his entire soccer career, was mentioned the most frequently by media outlets around the world after his retirement as the "soccer emperor" suggests.

Prior to the appearance of Lionel Messi, there was always a debate in world football over whether Pele was the best or Maradona was the best. Despite the completely different times of play, it was a debate that overlapped the two players' great achievements and the rivalry between Brazil and Argentina.

Then, Messi appeared, and Messi has been depreciated for his performance at the World Cup even in his great career. After all, it is widely believed that Messi is now the No. 1 player in soccer history, beating both Pele and Maradona, as Messi won the World Cup at the 2022 Qatar World Cup.

However, if time passes after Messi's retirement, there may be another debate over whether he is better like Pelevs Maradona, Pele or Maradona.


the death of the Big Three every other year

With the deaths of Maradona in 2020, Pele in 2022, and Beckenbauer in 2024, world football lost all the "Big Three" in two years.

The answer to the big question of the "best 11" in world soccer history can be different from each other. However, there is bound to be a player who always scores the goal. Soviet goalkeeper Lev Yasin, defender Beckenbauer, striker Pele and Maradona are the main characters. Yasin died in 1990, and it is shocking that the rest of the big three players passed away in such a row.

In 2016, Johan Cruyff (the Netherlands), the founder of "Total Soccer," died, and Bobby Charlton, considered the best player in English soccer history, died in 2023, forcing soccer fans to feel the emptiness of time.

New stars such as Kylian Mbappe and Elling Hallan, and Lamin Yamal, who emerged as a key player in Barcelona and Spain at age 16, are emerging. A rising star is bound to lose and a new star is bound to rise. Nevertheless, the images left by the greatest players in soccer history, including Pele, Maradona, and Beckenbauer, remain in the minds of soccer fans forever and are breathing beside them.
