Giggs vs Bale (self.reddevils)

cptainvimesDe Gea が 投稿

Hi all. There was a thread in /r/soccer. And all (i mean all) people there were claiming that Giggs at his peak was nowehere near to Bale right now. I became fan of the club only in 2005, but i've watched shitton of old matches and my opinion is - Bale is more athletic and powerful, better freekick taker (probably, not sure), maybe a better leader, but Giggs was a much more better passer and much more smarter on the field. What do you think? Sorry for poor grammar.

All subjective but Giggs was better than Bale at a younger age (probably up to 22ish) - Bales peak is now higher than Giggs', wouldn't say it was astronomically higher but definitely higher.
We'll see if he can have the longevity that Giggs had now.

I don't think the time is right to compare the two. I appreciate the effort in trying to make the comparison but it's not likely you could do one just yet.

Let's say Bale breaks his leg next game. Can you still make this comparison ? Will he be the same player that he once was ? All these are factors that many people don't assume.

If this was a perfect hypothetical, then sure I'll give it a go, I believe Giggs was better. As for my reasoning? He stood out but all eyes weren't on him. He would do wonders and the expectations of him being the best weren't there as well. The same way that I think Ronaldinho is prob top 5 players to have lived. He would make something out of nothing. Eyes were on him, but there were always more star studded players around him. Both players made their teammates better players and made them shine. I can revisit this after work if you care for it.
