A report revealed the classification of players in terms of physical strength. What is noteworthy is that the Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo, the leader of Al-Nasr and one of the legends of the Football Club, was excluded from the calculations of this classification according to physical strength.
The classification of players in terms of physical strength was as follows:
Czech Jan Kohler
Jan Koller, the giant Czech striker, came in tenth place on this list, with a tremendous height of 2 meters and 2 centimetres.
Kohler played for several clubs, including Borussia Dortmund of Germany and Anderlecht of Belgium, and attracted attention with the Czech national team.
Koller was distinguished by his scoring abilities, as he scored 245 goals with the clubs he played for in 587 matches, in addition to 55 goals with the Czech national team in 91 international matches.
Portuguese Eusebio
Portuguese legend Eusebio ranked ninth on the list of the most physically powerful players in history
Eusebio is one of the most prominent football stars of all time, not only in terms of unique skills, but also because of his physical strength, to the point that his large size attracted great attention during his participation with the Portugal national team in the 1966 World Cup, and the English fans did not believe him.
Eusebio scored 733 goals in 745 matches in his career, and became one of the best football stars in its history.
Swedish Zlatan Ibrahimovic
The physical and technical abilities possessed by Ibrahimovic are no secret to football fans, who ranked eighth on the list of the physically strongest among football players.
“Ibra” combined great height with physical strength that reached the point of ferocity, as well as agility in his movements inside the green rectangle.
The Swedish star played for several international clubs, including Milan and Juventus in Italy, Manchester United in England, Barcelona in Spain, and Paris Saint-Germain in France.
Ibrahimovic scored 511 goals during 866 matches with the clubs he played for, in addition to 62 goals in his international career during 122 matches.
Ivorian Yaya Toure
Ivorian player Yaya Toure possessed a combination of physical strength and wonderful skills in the midfield, which he clearly demonstrated with Manchester City in England, and before that with Barcelona in Spain.
The report confirmed that Toure is the seventh physically strongest player in the history of the tournament, thanks to his strong interventions, abundant effort, endurance, and powerful shots.
Spain’s Adama Traoré
Traoré attracted attention during his experiences with his physical strength and muscle mass, and his distinction as a distinguished striker who played for many clubs, led by Barcelona of Spain and Wolverhampton of England.
Traoré ranks sixth on this list, and his speed reached 36.6 kilometers per hour.
Belgian Romelu Lukaku
The Italian Napoli star was distinguished by his physical strength and large physique, which attracted attention to him throughout his previous experiences.
Lukaku defended the colors of many major clubs in Europe, led by Inter Milan, Manchester United, and Chelsea in the English Premier League.
Lukaku came in fifth place on the list of the strongest players physically throughout the history of the tournament.
Nigerian Danny Shittu
Although he wrote to more than 92 teams at the beginning of his career to convince him because of his great height, Shito found what he wanted with the English club Charlton.
The giant Chito also played for several English clubs, such as Queens Park Rangers, Watford, and Millwall, and defended the colors of the Nigerian national team during 32 international matches..and ranked fourth in the list of the strongest physically.
Brazilian Hulk
There is no player in the history of the game whose nickname suits him as is the case with “Hulk,” who FIFA described as knowing his way around the penalty area.
Hulk scored more than 400 goals during his career, but what distinguished him most was the power of his missile shots.
Thanks to his amazing shot, Hulk once silenced some racist Benfica fans with a brilliant shot into the top right corner.
That shot recorded an amazing speed of 108 km/h (67 mph) in 2021.
Hulk ranks third among the strongest football players historically on this list.
Cameroonian George Elokobi
Defender Ilokobi was a stark contrast on the pitch to the gentleness that had prevailed over him since his time as a coach, where he played for Colchester United, Maidstone and Wolverhampton.
Ilokobi’s career as a strong defender witnessed many challenges, and he succeeded, thanks to the strength of his will, in presenting a wonderful career and scoring during his participations from the lower leagues to the English Premier League.
The Cameroonian defender was distinguished by his physical strength, to the point that the report ranked him second among the strongest players in history.
Englishman Adebayo Akinfenwa
Topping this list is a man who looks more like a bodybuilder than a goal-scoring striker.
Adebayo Aknefenwa, also known as ‘The Beast’, was a burly striker with a reputation of his own in England where he scored some important goals for clubs such as Torquay, Swansea, Northampton, Gillingham, Wimbledon and Wycombe.
Aknefenwa scored 234 goals, which gave him a very good reputation. However, it was his strength and physical fitness that gave him a special appeal to become the strongest in history.
