A more fitting statement would be to name Son as the best Asian player of the decade. Comparing Ghelichkhani or even Kia with Sonny is apples and oranges. The game changes so much in a decade, the style, the formations and football in general is an ever evolving process. Gehich or Bagheri would stand no chance in the fast-paced, tactically complicated and physically demanding games of today, although, they were excellent in the way football was being played in their time.
