So when i searched on how to be good at chess i saw many tips and one of them is to study older games...The question is who is the player that i needed to study to be better (sorry for bad english)

Don't chose just one, maybe 2 or 3.Magnus, Fischer, maybe kasparov. (Sorry for my English, its not my native language)

Instead of chosing a player, it is better to chose a tournament.
Selected games of a player are not representative of usual play.
A tournament contains all kinds of situations.
That is why Zürich 1953 by Bronstein is such a great book.
It contains 210 games with superb explanantions by the runner-up.

Read, study, understand and apply 3 or 4 chess strategy textbooks first. Some have exercises. At that moment, you won't understand the GM annotated classic games. Studying GM classic games is for advanced players.
