Franz Beckenbauer, Der Kaiser [Goals & Skills]

“Franz was a marvelous distributor of the ball, a great tackler, he always had control of a situation and he never panicked. He was extremely cool and never looked like he was at full stretch. Such a hard player to play against.” (Bobby Charlton about Franz Beckenbauer)

“Very graceful, great on the ball and a great reader of the game. He could also play in midfield and in defence, but for me his best position is as the ‘libero’ at the back,bringing the ball out and linking defence with midfield. He was a great leader too, a positive influence in the dressing room.” (Osvaldo Ardiles about Franz Beckenbauer)

“You’d have to say he was the perfect player.” (Karl-Henz Rummenigge about Franz Beckenbauer)
