Actually, he first announced he would move to the New York Cosmos and then
(!) ended his international career, though rather by force: The German FA
did not welcome players into the national team who played in foreign
countries (much) – especially if it was such a lightweight retirement home
as the US league was or at least viewed as back then.
Brilliant player. the position he played is the way to attack, playing out
from the back or dribbling it forward and playing a short pass… not this
hoofing it up the pitch which so many premier lge defenders do…
@HGLinkous80 Beckenbauer was a leader and a player that both was crative
forward and the best sweeper of all times. pele, maradona, messi, ronaldo
all are brilliant forward, but nobody of them was as balaced and brilliant
both overall on the pich as der kaiser.. 🙂
i understand your point, it has to do with priority though….all those
players you mentioned were attackers/forwards, beckenbauer was a
sweeper/center back who also had offensive attributes….on his team you
could compare muller to the names you mentioned ( muller was not as dynamic
as any of those but he scored more goals than any of them besides
pele)….beckenbauer can be compared to the likes of roberto carlos, cafu ,
maldini, lucio etc…
this is the story about his football life, not how he lived, how his
familis had it, this is a football vid -_-, think next time u write
something down to me
the most complete player EVER! this guy could do anything. he was defender
AND playmaker! this guy was also fast as hell and was one of the best
headers i’ve ever seen
im a 14 year old boy and dam i havent even seen franz play football (in
real life) and i miss him i dont know why it feels like i have known him my
hole life 😛 great player got tears from these 2 vids.
Most complete I dont know.. Di Stefano, Duncan Edwards were extremely
complete players. Beckenbauer didnt have a good stamina which doesnt make
him one of the most complete ever. But I think he was certainly one of the
most if not the most intelligent player ever and THE definition of a
Captain. I can cite a few players better than him with the ball but I
cannot think of a better definition of the captain, the boss on the field.
@HGLinkous80 obviously reading comprehension is not your strong suit…I
never said most explosive or even the best offensively…I said most
“COMPLETE”(OFFENSE AND DEFENSE)…Pele,Maradona,Ronaldo etc. are better no
question on offense but never played a lick of defense…this guy not only
played defense but dominated…enough said
@salvi1979 Sorry guy, he may have been talented but was not as explosive of
a player as any of the Brazilians :((, I refuse to jump on the band wagon
solely on his name and reputation, believe me when I say the verdict is
still out on this guy… to rank him in the same category and stature as
maradona and Pele, Ronaldo and Ronaldinho seems like soccer blasphemy, but
you have to be a complete and dynamic POWERFUL player to understand this 😀

Most complete(offense and defense) player ever in my opinion and certainly
the best sweeper.

As a complete player,yes,he is one of the best if not the best.But the best
attacking player ever is Messi.

Beckenbauer and Pele are two best players in history of football.
