Stuff Legends are made of

Are they still around now a days? Those super Football Players that can carry their team to victory. The kind of players that make a Wold Cup or Euro Cup worth watching.
The Kind of player that rises above the others when trouble is looming and is able to turn a game around with a single action.
The kind of player that makes their country triumph.
Their are plenty of wanna bees, the kind of players that will lead their teams to victory in a Champions League.
Once they accomplished something like that they will start to ask for a pay raise or a transfer to a bigger or better paying team( not mentioning any names but sure most people now the ones).
But doing that doesn't make you a legend.
There don't seem to be any more players of that special kind.
I think I can say that maybe Zinedine Zidane was the last great one.
Leading the French to European and World Cup victories.
Ending his career with a header probably made him even more legendary.
Ronaldinho came close but then it all went wrong.
Ronaldo( the Brazilian one) might be among those legends, after being top scorer in the World Cup when Brazil became World champions.
But at the moment?
NO, I don't see that kind of player on the fields.
Maybe they should watch some old footage and learn and focus more on the game instead of thinking of the big money!
