Sheva is better than van Basten (?)

OK people I know it was already discussed on several occasions and this two giants were already compared a few times... but lets do it again, I mean what else we have to do?

I personally think that Sheva is "better" than Marco, even though it's considered otherwise, and there is some reasons for that misconception:
- Marco played in big national team (Holland) and Sheva plays in small Ukraine
- Marco was european, and Sheva is considered as foreigner
- Marco played in more greater Milan, and Sheva spent his first 4 years in weak Milan
- Marco achieved more trophies than Sheva

So because this 4 reasons Marco is considered a greater player than Sheva, but this is a mistake. I saw van Basten in action, and I have to say he is a great target-forward and nothing more. He has great finishing skills and a good ability to make himself available for his teammates in the box. I think u can compare him with van Nisteroj, same style. Marco just played in big teams with great players and there were always someone to assist.

But just look at Sheva, the things he does on the pitch are much more than just goal scoring. He sometimes go wide to flanks and act as a winger, or go down to midfield and plays behind the forward. Sheva knows how to score or assist, he also takes free kicks and helping out his defence at set-peices. The only striker that has some of this qualities is Henry, but Sheva ofcause much more better. And what about his great personality, he always works for the team and not for himself. And what about some great goals that he scored, some of that goals are at Pele-Maradona level. I mean Sheva is a perfect goal-scoring machine, he can score all kind of goals from all kinds situations (head, right foot, left foot, inside the box, outside the box, in one touch or after overcoming couple defenders, both spectacular and simple goals, u name it). So I think he is much more better than Marco, and surely the best striker today.
