Let me turn that thought around: Am I the only one who thinks goals scored are more of an indication of great offensive play rather than great scoring ability?
Let's say a keeper faces like 10 shots a game and has to save every single one to keep his clean sheet. A striker can bottle 9 chances and just poach in one shot to score.
Ali Daei is a name I haven't heard in a long time. I remember the big announcements in the newspapers, when Bayern signed the "WELTTORJÄGER". Gives me flashbacks to that Bayern team with the likes of Kahn, Matthäus, Lizarazu, Effenberg, Scholl, Basler, Elber at the end of the 90s.
