@Hydro2oo9 .... Figo had some good years at Barca, and we cannot forget him for that. but yes he left us for Madrid, but there's nothing to do about that... Laudrup did the same thing and is still loved by the barca-fans, because of the loyalty he's showing F.C. Barcelona and because of his awesome gameplaying.....
Michael Laudrup had his best years at Barcelona because he had the support of a great team and Johan Cruyff's revolutionary style. But Cruyff criticised Laudrup's effort in matches. Cruyff said "Laudrup doesn't give 100% enough times and only gives 70%". Platini also criticised Laudrup when they were at Juventus. Platini said: "Laudrup is the best player in the world on the training pitch, but doesn't show his talent enough during matches".
Michael Laudrup was very talented but lacked the mental strength. If his mental strength and desire was as great as his talent, he would be regarded as one of the top 5 greatest players of all time. The reason he is not as great as Cruyff, Platini, Pele, Van basten, Maradona, Puskas, Di Stefano etc is because he lacked self belief. He was a failure at Juventus because he couldn't cope with the pressure of leading the team when Platini retired.
@MrRaceRealist Laudrup in Juventus was not a failure. Laudrup played 4 seasons in Juventus: the first (Juventus won Serie A and Intercontinentale Cup, with Trapattoni) and the last (season 88-89 with Zoff) he played very well. Instead seasons 86-87 and 87-88 were not so brilliant bat only to accidents and also to Marchesi... (a gentleman, but a mister that made to play Juventus to much defensive). I want also remember that Laudrup, when he was in Juventus, had between 21-24 years old...
im sorry but 3:41.. simply unbelieveable.. ur man he made a fool of just threw his eyes up into the sky after as if to say that what laudrup did is amazin
simply the best...Im british,george best,duncan edwards,jimmy johnstone,dennis law,bobby charleton,bobby moore,kenny dalglish,ian rush all great but nobody compares..simply awesome..maradona,pele,de stefano eat your hearts out..his country are successful and never craved an icon but they got one anyway..thanks michael for the memories
" The most unselfish player EVER" For me the greatest playmaker ever! Iniesta is the only one who comes close with him in 2days football! i was lucky to witness the 90's football with all these alltime greats: Laudrup, Zidane, Bergkamp etc ! GREAT TIMES!
Eveutime i see videos of his passes and assists, i'm thinking: "Ok i get it, show me you remote, it's not funny anymore. You don't have one???? How the F***????
I thought it was he who had been the famous one but holy shit Michael was too a great great player from what I see from this video. Fantastic! even though football was a bit different from what it is nowdays
Has to be equal to the greats for his close control, vision and passing. Imagine if Laudrup had the passion of a Latin player or the determination of the Germans or the English. He could have been the greatest ever. Cruijff is an arrogant bastard and Barca fans need to blame him and Nunez for letting Laudrup go.Also Uefa's stupid rule that only 3 foreigners could line up. Nonsensical rule for such an international game. Cantona would have won a European cup without that rule.
An amiable and respectful man indeed. He's had difficulties breaking through as a manager at the highest level. I'm sure he would do wonders as technical/attacking coach at, say, Ajax. He's got that type of class.
@M10663 Many footballers share similarities in their styles of playing. Laudrup reminds me of Zidane's dribbling but Laudrup clearly had unsurpassed vision for passes & assists whereas Zidane had instant control of the ball just like Bergkamp did. Footballers are almost like artists in that respect, they learn & apply techniques of other great footballers and in turn make it their own.
@GarryMc67 agreed...He has iniesta's skills+ more speed+ way better vision. However Iniesta is incredibly good at creating space for others with or without the ball. That's mostly his job, which is why his goals and assists stats are not the most impressive. Iniesta also has one of, if not, the best turn and change of direction in the game.
The only other player i know that comes close to being technically gifted as Zidane & perhaps with an even better vision for the pass… played for Ajax, Juventus, Barcelona, Real Madrid… & yet so few of our generation know of the great Michael Laudrup. His passing and assists are out of this world.
@zizouism .are you insane?as technically gifted as zidane and al ost better vision?rofl youre an idiot.zidane?pfft.maraodna is the king of tehcnique,not that overrated zidane.vision?you have got to eb high.zidane doesnt compare to patini,maradona,heck even players like totti,riquelme and ronaldinho have betetr vision than zidane.blind fanboy.
@M10663 I am a great fan of Zidane but i don't diss anyone. Your ignorance and constrained mind clearly speaks for itself here… Have a little respect for all these legends, man. Its not a question of who is the best but learning to appreciate and be amazed by all these fantastic people, who are real life heroes to many of us.
Can we bring real ronaldo and romario into the argument please. They are my fave two all time top players and they aren't even mentioned. Laudrup is up there beyond most if today's footballers. Search romario vs defenders
@tehhazz they don't have the same style nor responsibility. Laudrup is more of an iniesta kind of player. Xavi is much more static and has much more responsibility of controlling the game, keeping possession and creating space. A player like Xavi has to be almost impeccable all game because most balls go through him while it does not have to be the same for Iniesta or any attacking midfielder.
Michael Laudrup is the football lover's heart, and not for the media and highlights .... A true legend with Respect and nonexistent selfishness but rather a spirit for the team and not himself ...
no lie the 90 up till 2006 had so much completion for best players i mean messi doesn't haave that now. There was ronaldo, zzidane, hagi, landrup, raul, nedved, zola, etc so much
@bardhi09 , Gloryhunter? Sheva was better? This is a Michael Laudrup video and your saying Sheva was better then Messi.. You don't need the media, your stupid enough as it is..
And for the record Sheva sucked at Chelsea, and what special things did he do with the Ukraine?
@bardhi09 I say wait till he retires...he's only 24 people keep forgetting that. He still has a lot of time to prove himself. He might not be the best ever right now but he's pretty danm good for his age. I would say that having 3 goals and 11 assists in 12 games for an argentina with a horrible defense and midfield is not bad at all. And saying a player like Messi sucks is really hilarious because he is the best player right now. Statistics don't lie.
@bardhi09 I could have understood if you said that he still has a long way to go before being one of the best or the best but saying he sucks is simply ridiculous.
@bardhi09well then sorry to tell you that your opinion doesn't mean much really. Sorry but u're one random person in a world full of millions of much more qualified people to give they opinion as if it's final and right. I think that'll stick to opinions of great professional footballers and the good things they have to say about Messi instead of some random anonymous on youtube.
@bardhi09 ... Let's get something straight...you wouldn't even be able to touch the ball against him as wouldn't most people right now. U a seem to be some biased football fan that seem to have something against an obviously talented kid. Sorry but it takes a lot of talent to control the ball like he does and also saying he's overrated is like saying all players now suck and if it is what u are implying u might as well stop watching football now then cause what's the point?.
@bardhi09 but then again u're probably of those people who dislike barca or something. When you find a better argument to back up why you think "he sucks" then maybe i'll start taking u a little seriously.
@nayou317 I do hate Barca but that isnt my reasoning for hating Messi at all.I mean i dont think Pique sucks(Although many tend to overrate him as the best Defender right now when its Thiago Silva who is the best Defender).
@bardhi09 Then what is your reasoning for hating him? I'm actually curious . I don't like CR7 for his personality and because he dives and always does stupid pointless tricks that do nothing to help his team ...but I don't hate him and even though I would not put him among the best I recognize that he had some skills. That's all I'm saying. Just pecause you don't like a player's style or that you don't think he is as good as your favorite players doesn't mean he sucks.
@nayou317 Its not only that i hate him.Its about that he sucks Period i mean he suck in the Argie NT.And he plays for Barca(the best team in the world) + he plays in the easies top league of the world(La Liga) which proves he's nothing special.I mean even friggin Sokratis stopped him in an International match.And how Nesta stopped him in the UCL.Ronaldo Fenomeno(Real Ronaldo) is much more worthy to put in that line of players then Messi cuz he even outran Nesta and Maldini in their primes.
@bardhi09 here's the thing...I doubt you even watch him play in argentina. In think you assume he sucks because he doesn't score as much. But frankly the majority of the goals that argentina score are a result of his actions. And his whole argentina team sucks.He always has to drop down because they have no playmaker. Which is why he assist more than he scores. Do me a favor and watch " Lionel Messi Passes (Argentina 2010/11) " by allasfcb2 . You are misinformed.
@bardhi09 Also just because nesta stopped him once does not mean a thing. All players can and have had bad games and all players can have one good player stop them on a good day, including real Ronaldo. And since both zidane and ronaldo are really known for their days in Real Madrid and that Messi has been european top scorer for the past 3 years in CL I would say you have no idea what you are talking about. BTW Ac milan players are not the best regardless of the fact that that's your team.
@bardhi09 And last time I check Barcelona sucked in the spanish super cup. Xavi didn't do shit, and all Iniesta did was score from a Messi assist. Real was dominating possession and was creating way more chances and yet they won because Messi still managed 3 goals and 2 assists.
@bardhi09 I also seem to remember that beautiful assist he had against AC Milan in the last CL game. None of your "world class" defenders could stop him with that one. Next time you get voted or AC Milan players get voted for Ballon D'or maybe you'll have some sort of credible reason. the coaches, captains and journalists who vote for Ballon D'or are much more credible than you will ever be. And since Messi is definitelly winning the upcoming one too you might as well keep on sulking.
@nayou317 Alot of Milan players won that prize already.Maldini himself should of have won atleast 5 but overrated Players won them almost all the time.
And also that was just a mistake by Abate we werent even in match fitness yet LMAOOOOOOOOOOOO!
@bardhi09 how about tone down on the swearing. Not necessary. Yeah a lot of them won that...years ago. Underrated players according to you...give me a break u nobody. It's your word against thousands of professionals.
Mistake my ass...keep making excuses. I'm not belittling Millan just stating the obvious. They only won Seria A last year but serie A is not even what it used to be. And they were eliminated in the CL by Spurs ( out of all the teams to lose against). This year doesn't look better.
@bardhi09 U are just a blind obsessed fan who cannot appreciate anything else or any other team or players just because ur world obviously spins around Milan.
I never said Milan was a bad team but stop living in a daydream...they aren't as good as u're trying to make them out to be. When or if they win a double or a treble then u can trash talk all u want but really u have nothing to show for it both in results and statistics.
@bardhi09 And before you start talking about Milan's past glory let me stop you. Exactly...it was the past. In the present moment they are not the best, far from it.
@bardhi09 no u stop deluding urself. I watch Milan, I'm sorry to tell u and that that area of dominace ain't close from coming. What is it that u like about xavi? his backs passes or his RARE throughballs and assists. Or maybe u like that he spins around with the ball and then wait for iniesta or messi to create something. Not saying that he isn't great but PLZ.
@nayou317 Seems you dont know anything about Football.Xavi plays as Orchestrator of Midfield for Barca.I dont like him in fact i hate him i just aknowledge him as a great player.An Orchestrator's Job is to Control the Midfield waaaaaaaay tougher then you think.
@bardhi09 I do know exactly what his job is and I know it is though...but the thing is that it's the results that count and most of the time he's not the one responsible for the scoring. Nor is he the only one that does good pressing to keep possession and avoid counter attacking plays that he can hardly stop.
@nayou317 He does the exact opposite he passes the ball around and keeps possession and almost never loses possesion trust me without Him Barca really are MUCH Weaker.He's actually a big part of your results even though he doesnt score as much he provides balance in midfield and organizes the others.
@bardhi09 Weaker yes. But barca is also weaker without iniesta (or someone like cesc to replace him)or Messi... They still usually mange to get results even if one of these 3 is missing but whenever one is missing it s never the same barca. Barca's scoreline is average and very dangerous when messi doesn't play and they don't play as fluidly if xavi or iniesta is missing.
@bardhi09Listen I am a barca fan so I understand his importance. But he is not the only important player. His job is to distribute the ball, to keep the tempo of the game flowing for barca, and he rarely ever loses possession. But he doest provide that often up front, and he can't do anything against barca's weakness, which is counter attacking and set plays.
@bardhi09 Certain things cannot function without another thing. Imagine having possession but being able to do nothing up front with it. If the others did not know their duties in barca and did it well he would have problems organizing the midfield. I love xavi but I can hardly say how efficient he would be in another team that has no barca players.
@bardhi09 How would he help Real?? They are fast and mostly about counter attacking. Xavi is not fast he cannot create scoring opportunities with just 3 passes. He would need a lot of adapting or the team would have to adapt around him and I hardly think that would happen. He has missed a couple of games for barca and they have done well without him. I'm not sure u noticed that when barca started well this year Xavi was a sub. He started the Milan game but look how that ended.
@bardhi09 Or that spain game against Chile...Xavi was playing when they were losing but then they put on Iniesta and it turned things around. And then they subbed Xavi for Cesc and it got even better because both we way more creative and adventurous. again...i'm not bashing Xavi. He's great but u overestimate him and underestimate the players that surround him.
@bardhi09 Messi is more highly regarded by most professionals and by most people. He is even more highly regarded at barcelona, which is why he is their most highly payed player. He has way better statistics ( other than the number of passes he managed). Ur words are empty and have no foundation.And all the players you mentioned are really known for their time at Real Madrid....in the same league that u insulted a couple of replies ago so give me a break.
@bardhi09 And they all played together making one of the best teams that Real Madrid ever had. Not to mention that Ronaldo's Brazil was world class in so many positions and so was France. Yet no one will mention that they had great support. Name me one world class defender or midfielder in Argentina right now.Pastore might be a good playmaker but he hardly gets a chance.Up front Aguero is great but he is always a sub and Higuain is usually wasteful. Xavi has most of his barca team for Spain.
the best simple as..messi pele maradona?..thre is only no.1 and it is he..show me even 2 minuites of brilliance without replay and maybe we should reconsider..not happening..just enjoy
Now football the players don't do movements like this, we ask: Where is the passion now? Well, to me nowadays players don't have the passion by football that the 50's to 2006 had. Since there, the money became first place and it's a shame to watch football now.
But if you watched Fifa World Cup U-17 and you're watching U-20 that passion to me is recovering. Players play as you know and the love for football, don't play because the money.
The player from whom I've learned to fully apreciate the art of playmaking. Brilliant, intelligent, skilled (though underrated as he was just objective, no move was wasted) and, overall, unselfish. Because of him, later another player who resembled much of him became my idol, Rui Costa. Thanks for the upload.
Respect to Laudrup. From a portuguese (and Benfica) fan
IMO, he's one of the ten best players ever. He's purely the 10, the man who assists and dictates the tempo. There's no better goal-passer than him. All these things we can see in this video seem easy, but are amazingly hard to be done! He doesn't have all the ball-carrying skill of players like Pelé, Maradona, Messi, Best, Eusebio and Cruyff, or control it like Zidane and Di Stefano, but he could put a teammate face-to-face with the keeper like none of those could, including Di Stefano himself.
most intelligent was bergkamp cuz he was really able to read a game, bit its a close call. And..he is as talented as Messi or Maradona. He was part of the Dream Team I and for a good reason. Players like Laudrup are rare...very rare. He was a perfect 10 like Zidane, Bergkamp, Litmanen and I hope Eriksen in the near future. Just realize that it wasnt a coincidence ajax signed him, hehehe. Laudrup is also one of my favorites.
@MrRevolution1555 Messi Sucks why cant you fucking get it through your thick skull you fukin gloryhunters hell Sheva was WAAAAAAAAAAY Better but people like you believe anything the Media Says what did Messi do with Argentina Nothing he's a fukin one trick pony he plays with Barca becuz he knows he would suck ass elsewhere.
@MrRevolution1555 Maradona was a lot better than he is at passing and creating opportunities, although Laudrup is good, he's not even close to the best, just look at players like Zidane.
@hyuga098 .maradona is obv better but zidane?i signed up just to laugh at your pitiful comment.zidane?lol go look at zidanes best assists,which are ordinary and completely mundane standard passes,then compare you absolute fool. Overated payer zidane,laudrup is in a complete different class.Maradona is obv better but then hes maradona init.
@asmk9099090 In no way is Laudrup better than Zidane, just look at assist videos of Zidane, if u think all of them are ordinary u are fck'd, besides, Zidane had a shitload of assists and passes, he is one of the few players that good who isnt a selfish asshole once he gets the ball (not saying Laudrup is). And u obv didnt sign up just for commenting here, seeing as how u have commented on like 10x vids the last 3 hours (all about football). btw im not a Zidane fan
@hyuga098 .zidanes assisrs are shit .rui costa and totti ebat hom to the best mber 10 award when hewas in his prime.a shitload of assists?eh no.thats simply not true.look at his career stats and they will tlel you the whole picture.zidane was great but vastly overrated.
@M10663 Zidane is not shit, are u stupid or something? i am not saying he is at top 10 in the world, but they are still very good. As i mentioned i am not a fan of Zidane. And stop digging up old comments, its fucking annoying. Ur English... Bitch pleeeeaase
3:42 this is the perfect skill, he doesn't even touch the ball, just awesome. Laudrup is better than Romario, he is underrated like Giggs or Bergkamp or Matt Le Tissier who are the best ever.
The most amazing thing is how many chances he creates for the strikers. Usually players this good are extremely selfish and that kinda makes them hard to count on. You never know when their "magic" will work and when they'll simply run around losing possession for an entire game.
Being a striker on a team with an attacking midfielder like Laudrup must be fantastic. He sure made their game easier. :)

@tehhazz they don't have the same style nor responsibility. Laudrup is more of an iniesta kind of player. Xavi is much more static and has much more responsibility of controlling the game, keeping possession and creating space. A player like Xavi has to be almost impeccable all game because most balls go through him while it does not have to be the same for Iniesta or any attacking midfielder.

@bardhi09 I say wait till he retires...he's only 24 people keep forgetting that. He still has a lot of time to prove himself. He might not be the best ever right now but he's pretty danm good for his age. I would say that having 3 goals and 11 assists in 12 games for an argentina with a horrible defense and midfield is not bad at all. And saying a player like Messi sucks is really hilarious because he is the best player right now. Statistics don't lie.

@bardhi09 I could have understood if you said that he still has a long way to go before being one of the best or the best but saying he sucks is simply ridiculous.

@bardhi09well then sorry to tell you that your opinion doesn't mean much really. Sorry but u're one random person in a world full of millions of much more qualified people to give they opinion as if it's final and right. I think that'll stick to opinions of great professional footballers and the good things they have to say about Messi instead of some random anonymous on youtube.
nayou317 4 months ago
@bardhi09 ... Let's get something straight...you wouldn't even be able to touch the ball against him as wouldn't most people right now. U a seem to be some biased football fan that seem to have something against an obviously talented kid. Sorry but it takes a lot of talent to control the ball like he does and also saying he's overrated is like saying all players now suck and if it is what u are implying u might as well stop watching football now then cause what's the point?.

@bardhi09 but then again u're probably of those people who dislike barca or something. When you find a better argument to back up why you think "he sucks" then maybe i'll start taking u a little seriously.

@nayou317 I do hate Barca but that isnt my reasoning for hating Messi at all.I mean i dont think Pique sucks(Although many tend to overrate him as the best Defender right now when its Thiago Silva who is the best Defender).
bardhi09 4 months ago
@bardhi09 Then what is your reasoning for hating him? I'm actually curious . I don't like CR7 for his personality and because he dives and always does stupid pointless tricks that do nothing to help his team ...but I don't hate him and even though I would not put him among the best I recognize that he had some skills. That's all I'm saying. Just pecause you don't like a player's style or that you don't think he is as good as your favorite players doesn't mean he sucks.
nayou317 4 months ago
@nayou317 Its not only that i hate him.Its about that he sucks Period i mean he suck in the Argie NT.And he plays for Barca(the best team in the world) + he plays in the easies top league of the world(La Liga) which proves he's nothing special.I mean even friggin Sokratis stopped him in an International match.And how Nesta stopped him in the UCL.Ronaldo Fenomeno(Real Ronaldo) is much more worthy to put in that line of players then Messi cuz he even outran Nesta and Maldini in their primes.
bardhi09 4 months ago
@bardhi09 here's the thing...I doubt you even watch him play in argentina. In think you assume he sucks because he doesn't score as much. But frankly the majority of the goals that argentina score are a result of his actions. And his whole argentina team sucks.He always has to drop down because they have no playmaker. Which is why he assist more than he scores. Do me a favor and watch " Lionel Messi Passes (Argentina 2010/11) " by allasfcb2 . You are misinformed.
nayou317 4 months ago
@bardhi09 Also just because nesta stopped him once does not mean a thing. All players can and have had bad games and all players can have one good player stop them on a good day, including real Ronaldo. And since both zidane and ronaldo are really known for their days in Real Madrid and that Messi has been european top scorer for the past 3 years in CL I would say you have no idea what you are talking about. BTW Ac milan players are not the best regardless of the fact that that's your team.
nayou317 4 months ago
@bardhi09 And last time I check Barcelona sucked in the spanish super cup. Xavi didn't do shit, and all Iniesta did was score from a Messi assist. Real was dominating possession and was creating way more chances and yet they won because Messi still managed 3 goals and 2 assists.
nayou317 4 months ago
@bardhi09 I also seem to remember that beautiful assist he had against AC Milan in the last CL game. None of your "world class" defenders could stop him with that one. Next time you get voted or AC Milan players get voted for Ballon D'or maybe you'll have some sort of credible reason. the coaches, captains and journalists who vote for Ballon D'or are much more credible than you will ever be. And since Messi is definitelly winning the upcoming one too you might as well keep on sulking.

@nayou317 Alot of Milan players won that prize already.Maldini himself should of have won atleast 5 but overrated Players won them almost all the time.

Mistake my ass...keep making excuses. I'm not belittling Millan just stating the obvious. They only won Seria A last year but serie A is not even what it used to be. And they were eliminated in the CL by Spurs ( out of all the teams to lose against). This year doesn't look better.
nayou317 4 months ago
@bardhi09 U are just a blind obsessed fan who cannot appreciate anything else or any other team or players just because ur world obviously spins around Milan.
I never said Milan was a bad team but stop living in a daydream...they aren't as good as u're trying to make them out to be. When or if they win a double or a treble then u can trash talk all u want but really u have nothing to show for it both in results and statistics.

@nayou317 Oh yeah

Most Sucessful Club in the World with 18 Titles in all FIFA/UEFA International/Continental Competitions
7 Champions League 5 UEFA Super Cup's 2 Cup Winner's Cup and 4 World Titles(3 Intercontinental Titles + 1 FIFA Club World Cup)
Ridicolous to say that really
Also i love other players that are not from Milan like for Example Ronaldo(Original),Zidane,Raul,R.Carlos etc.
And i admit that Xavi is a great player(even though he's a cunt of a man) but Messi is NOT!

What is it that u like about xavi? his backs passes or his RARE throughballs and assists. Or maybe u like that he spins around with the ball and then wait for iniesta or messi to create something. Not saying that he isn't great but PLZ.
nayou317 4 months ago
@nayou317 Seems you dont know anything about Football.Xavi plays as Orchestrator of Midfield for Barca.I dont like him in fact i hate him i just aknowledge him as a great player.An Orchestrator's Job is to Control the Midfield waaaaaaaay tougher then you think.
bardhi09 4 months ago
@bardhi09 I do know exactly what his job is and I know it is though...but the thing is that it's the results that count and most of the time he's not the one responsible for the scoring. Nor is he the only one that does good pressing to keep possession and avoid counter attacking plays that he can hardly stop.
nayou317 4 months ago
@nayou317 He does the exact opposite he passes the ball around and keeps possession and almost never loses possesion trust me without Him Barca really are MUCH Weaker.He's actually a big part of your results even though he doesnt score as much he provides balance in midfield and organizes the others.
bardhi09 4 months ago
@bardhi09 Weaker yes. But barca is also weaker without iniesta (or someone like cesc to replace him)or Messi... They still usually mange to get results even if one of these 3 is missing but whenever one is missing it s never the same barca. Barca's scoreline is average and very dangerous when messi doesn't play and they don't play as fluidly if xavi or iniesta is missing.
nayou317 4 months ago
@bardhi09Listen I am a barca fan so I understand his importance. But he is not the only important player. His job is to distribute the ball, to keep the tempo of the game flowing for barca, and he rarely ever loses possession. But he doest provide that often up front, and he can't do anything against barca's weakness, which is counter attacking and set plays.
nayou317 4 months ago
@bardhi09 Certain things cannot function without another thing. Imagine having possession but being able to do nothing up front with it. If the others did not know their duties in barca and did it well he would have problems organizing the midfield. I love xavi but I can hardly say how efficient he would be in another team that has no barca players.
nayou317 4 months ago
@nayou317 I disagree i'd say Barca would be only half as efficient without him and he would help any team ALOT.
bardhi09 4 months ago
@bardhi09 How would he help Real?? They are fast and mostly about counter attacking. Xavi is not fast he cannot create scoring opportunities with just 3 passes. He would need a lot of adapting or the team would have to adapt around him and I hardly think that would happen. He has missed a couple of games for barca and they have done well without him. I'm not sure u noticed that when barca started well this year Xavi was a sub. He started the Milan game but look how that ended.
nayou317 4 months ago
@nayou317 He's a sub becuz he's aging.Anyways why am i talking to you you know nothing about the sport.

bardhi09 4 months ago
@bardhi09 Or that spain game against Chile...Xavi was playing when they were losing but then they put on Iniesta and it turned things around. And then they subbed Xavi for Cesc and it got even better because both we way more creative and adventurous. again...i'm not bashing Xavi. He's great but u overestimate him and underestimate the players that surround him.
nayou317 4 months ago
@bardhi09 Messi is more highly regarded by most professionals and by most people. He is even more highly regarded at barcelona, which is why he is their most highly payed player. He has way better statistics ( other than the number of passes he managed). Ur words are empty and have no foundation.And all the players you mentioned are really known for their time at Real Madrid....in the same league that u insulted a couple of replies ago so give me a break.
nayou317 4 months ago
@bardhi09 And they all played together making one of the best teams that Real Madrid ever had. Not to mention that Ronaldo's Brazil was world class in so many positions and so was France. Yet no one will mention that they had great support. Name me one world class defender or midfielder in Argentina right now.Pastore might be a good playmaker but he hardly gets a chance.Up front Aguero is great but he is always a sub and Higuain is usually wasteful. Xavi has most of his barca team for Spain.

But if you watched Fifa World Cup U-17 and you're watching U-20 that passion to me is recovering. Players play as you know and the love for football, don't play because the money.

IMO, he's one of the ten best players ever. He's purely the 10, the man who assists and dictates the tempo. There's no better goal-passer than him. All these things we can see in this video seem easy, but are amazingly hard to be done! He doesn't have all the ball-carrying skill of players like Pelé, Maradona, Messi, Best, Eusebio and Cruyff, or control it like Zidane and Di Stefano, but he could put a teammate face-to-face with the keeper like none of those could, including Di Stefano himself.

most intelligent was bergkamp cuz he was really able to read a game, bit its a close call. And..he is as talented as Messi or Maradona. He was part of the Dream Team I and for a good reason. Players like Laudrup are rare...very rare. He was a perfect 10 like Zidane, Bergkamp, Litmanen and I hope Eriksen in the near future. Just realize that it wasnt a coincidence ajax signed him, hehehe.

The most amazing thing is how many chances he creates for the strikers. Usually players this good are extremely selfish and that kinda makes them hard to count on. You never know when their "magic" will work and when they'll simply run around losing possession for an entire game.
Being a striker on a team with an attacking midfielder like Laudrup must be fantastic. He sure made their game easier. :)
