    I'm not even from africa, but i regard him the best of the best of all time in terms of skills and talents. when i started watching football, the legendary players like maradona and pele were no longer playing.
    beckham, scholes, cantona made me love football and man utd, but okocha is the greatest dribbler I've seen growing up. i idolized him, and started to watch bolton matches and learned about their other great players like campo, juusi, nolan, davies.
    i know he's retired years ago, but this man has never gotten the recognitions he so deserved. thank you for the years of entertainment, Mr. African Magician! ♥️

    JJ OKOCHA remains one of the greatest football legends the world has ever seen. The International Football Body owes him a very big apology for not honoring him with an international award. He was denied honor simply because of racism. He was a Black man from Nigeria (Africa). players of his kind comes into the world once in a thousand years. Ever since JJ OKOCHA retired from professional football, My Country Nigeria has never been able to find a replacement for him in our Nigeria National team. Jay-Jay Okocha was one of the single largest reasons why Nigerians developed an addiction to watching Nigerian football back in the late 1990's till early 2000s.

    These type of midfielders are now the most in demand in football. Creative players that are confident and press resistant on the ball. Can dribble and drive the attack, never afraid of receiving the ball, could break organized midfields single-handedly, even if he sees 3 midfielders he will take on them and create space for his teammates. Pep Guardiola would have done wonders with him

Many many games Okocha was completely ineffective when he didn't have the ball much, or his team needed to play with discipline on the ball rather than flair

    No podría ser más genial uno de los maestros del mejor de todos los tiempos. Grande Okocha, sin duda el jugador africano más técnico y crack de su época. Ronaldinho alguna vez reconoció que verlo jugar le inspiraba. Hoy, viéndolo un poco más viejo, me viene esa sensación de haber podido ver a un jugador increíble, rápido, genio pero sobre todo muy inteligente. Legenda Jay Jay, estas entre mis 10 jugadores favoritos de todos los tiempos.

    • @dxfifa
      @dxfifa Před rokem +1

      Because he was inconsistent, and for all his highlights he made just as many errors trying the spectacular instead of basic. If you compare him to Ronaldinho he took more risks, had poorer decision making and was much much less effective with his output. An the guy was pretty useless without the ball so to get the most out of him you had to compensate in other areas of the team, and why do that as a big club when you can sign players who will be more consistent, smart and hard working and have a similar output? For a club like Bolton with a hard physical identity outside of okocha, players to cover him and not much creativity, that is fine. For a big club that can get players as good as okocha that do more then no

    Jay Jay Okocha is a wizard in the middle of the pitch.
    In his prime, he was virtually unmarkable in the middle of that pitch, as the play maker in arguably the best eleven "Super Eagles" ever, the '94 set, Jay Jay's exquisite dribbling techniques, top-notch shot and pass selection are just on a different level.
