Juan Fernando Arango Saenz Is wihout shadow of a doubt the best venezuelan player of all time, a dangerous winger on his youth and a world class free kick taker and passer in his older years, Arango was that kind of player that in a matter of seconds could turn a match around with a well placed pass or a thunderbolt from outside the box, in terms of match perfomance throughout his career he is on the same level of the likes of Koke and, Rakitic and James Rodriguez. https://www.whoscored.com/Players/80764/History/Koke

But lets not dwell only in his more than respectable perfomance and stats, lets take a look at what this fucker could do with that Godly Left Foot.
Amazing goals from a truly amazing player that should be more famous and respected.

you are chilean, your national team has so many talents right now, why are u talking about this Venezuelan player?
Because he was an amazing player on the same level a Koke or Rakitic besides i lived many years in Venezuela and i grew fond of their national squad lastly i like underrated players like Juan Arango, Paolo Guerrero, Justo Villar, players that while being amazing only true football fans know how good they are.
actually i know there are lots of underrated players like Guerrero but not sure about Arango since he played in good teams in Europe... by the way u are just overrating him by comparing it to Rakitic

Actually no.
ur point? what's ur point in showing those stats? can't see anything special in Arango stats
Aside from the fact that they are better than Rakitic s stats or that its really hard to find a miedfielder with more than 80 club goals and 23 international goals
i don't think it's better that Rakitic's in any sense... also.. he may scored some decent amount goals for a midfielder, but that's all.. the only thing special i noticed in his stats
Not better than Rakitic in ay sense? lol he created 2,5 chances per game while Rakitic creates 1,5, Arango won 1,9 aerial duels per game while Rakitic wins only 0,8 both of them are equal on the defensive front with 1,3 tackles per game, Rakitic only has pass accuracy on his side, Arango is better in most of the other relevant stats, and by the Way Arango not only scored lots of goals but he made lots of assists too, he assisted 112 goals in 470 games while Rakitic has assisted 95 in 521 games www.transfermarkt.es/.../26063 www.transfermarkt.es/.../32467
deeply wrong... ur fanaticism for a player make you blind, check better that whoscored website then talk to me later:
Rakitic: more goals, more assists, more accurate passing, more tackles, less times dribbled by opponent, better possession (=less bad controls per game + less dispossession per game), more number passes per game, more successful crosses, more successful long balls
Arango: more dribbling, more aerial duels won per game, more shots per game (does not mean much, wastes too much the possession of the ball for a midfielder)
Whoscored does not have stats from before 2009 silly.
Arango has more goals and assits look it up in Transfermarkt where they have a more complete database.

www.transfermarkt.es/.../32467
lol look at whoscored stats
Again they have stats from Arango older years (Even so they consider his perfomance to be better than Rakitic s) they dont data from his time in Spain (Peak) meaning half of his goals dont appear in whoscored database and you are comparing old ass Arango to peek condition Rakitic and even so Old ass Arango comes out on top according to Whoscored.
this is just a claim not backed by any numbers. arango was never a great player, even at his "peak" in Spain
And even though Rakitic has more pass acurracy and crossing (Playing in a team with better companions) Arango made more key passes per game 1,8 vs Rakitic s 1,6 meaning Arango created more chances, i dont even know why you are trying to argue with me when even whoscored considers Arango perfomance s to be better.
Arango never played in any relevant clubs, only fodders unlike Rakitic, who is in Barcelona
''this is just a claim not backed by any numbers. arango was never a great player, even at his "peak" in Spain'' Jajajajaja ok little champ wharever you say.

that does not impress me at all, any player can have nice compilations. what matters is consistency
The club you play for is irrelevant what matters is the league, in fact its harder to socre and assist in a crappy team because you have worst service and less talented players around you.
Lol Consistency is Arango biggest strengh he produced the goods until very late in his career lets not forget whoscored consider his late years perfomance to be better than Rakitics peak years perfomance.
Lol and you call me "Blind" i have the empirical evidence on my side kid you only have little pretexts like "He didn't played for a big club"

Oh you want to bring experts into this ok. Arjen Robben "Juan Arango has one of the best left foots in the world twitter.com/.../467517681327812608 peru.com/.../marco-reus-ve-como-idolo-y-maestro-juan-arango-noticia-318014 Marco Reus: Juan Arango was like a master to me
And in terms of big clubs not showing interest in him even in that you are wrong www.fichajes.net/.../...pensar-broma-20161207.html "Arango rejected Barca because he thought he was being the victim of a joke" i know my football better than you men is that simple men , stop arguing with someone smarter and more knowledgeable than you men.
I doubt that was the reason for him to say "no" thought, i think he felt at home at Mallorca and Gladbach, fans loved him maybe he was adicted to that, to being the main attraction, Rakitic in Barca or Madrid he wouldn't have the love and protagonism he had at Mallorca and Gladbach but those clubs did try to sign him a couple of times.
u claim to know better than me, but u don't know me... you are only trying to be a hipster by saying this dude is an amazing player. But still he didn't play in any big club in Europe EVER! Just deal with it... no Real Madrid, No PSG, No Manchester United, No Bayern Munchen... so stop trying to convice me of bullshit, grow up
I dont need to personally know you to realize you aren't very bright, i mean any smart person would have realized evidence was against him by now, acording t your logic Di Natale isn't a fucking leyend for playing all of his career in Udinese, see how retarded it is yo measure a player s talent by the club he played? what matters is the teams he played against.
lol Di Natale is not that great... many other italian players were much better than him he was never nominated for the best player in the world like Pirlo, Buffon, etc. you are the one who thinks too much of yourself as an "expert in football"
"Di Natale isn't that great" thats it im out of here im not going to loose my time with someone so retarded to say that.
still he was never nominated for the Ballon D'or award/best player of the year
