The argument about who should get the right wing spot in an all-time Premier League XI has created some violently hot takes. On Saturday, Nieve Petruzziello and Lawrence Bury, known as 'Buvey', joined Saturday Social to share their picks for this prestigious lineup. Petruzziello, wearing bright red, vigorously made the case for Mohamed Salah. On the other hand, for the right wing, Buvey was a huge advocate for Cristiano Ronaldo, underlining the guests’ polar opposite opinions.
Saturday Social has become known for its lively debates on everything football related. Just a few weeks ago, they invited listeners along to petruzziello and buvey to help them come up with the ideal all-time Premier League XI. This fictional team attempts to include the best players ever to play the Premier League. The Premier League is one of the most popular and commercialized professional football leagues in England. Yet, this episode only spotlighted the right wing position. It’s an underappreciated but pivotal position in the game of soccer that requires pace, creativity and a sense of tactics.
Nieve Petruzziello made a great case for the value of Mohamed Salah and the uniqueness of his game-breaking performances and contributions to the Premier League. This consistency to consistently bring goals and assists out of thin air is what makes Salah one of the most fascinating figures in English football. Petruzziello’s decision is obviously a nod to Salah’s legacy as one of the most impactful right wingers to ever play in the league.
Lawrence Bury ‘Buvey’ offered up Cristiano Ronaldo as his pick for the right wing berth. Buvey continued by celebrating the incredible thing that was Ronaldo in the Premier League. While Ronaldo is mainly playing forward, that is due to his versatility and extraordinary skills on display. He is comfortable playing as an attacking midfielder, central midfielder or forward.
The conversation surfaced the contrasts between Petruzziello and Buvey’s perspectives. Each one made an impassioned case for their designated player’s legacy, contributions, and impact on the league. Both Salah and Ronaldo are global icons adored by fans around the world for their elite footballing abilities on the pitch. Such accomplishments fuel acrimonious discourse on their places in an all-time Premier League XI.
