I dont get this, why is nearly every single leading scorer from the new era?
Why is it never like „yeah he played in the 70s and is leading scorer off xyz“
You can check that, i am not talking bs, its hard to find a leading scorer that was in his prime between 1970-90
Why?
Modern footballer play more games it’s as easy as that. Just look at the World Cup or Euros. In 1960s the Euros was just a semi final and then a final. Then it expanded and more and more teams joined. In 1996 euros got a quarter final and then in 2016 it got round of 16th.
More games equals more opportunities to score especially vs lower ranked teams.
