Edgar Davids Teaches How To Be a Defensive Midfielder *HD*

[damian46354684795]

cool



[kingfcx]

Can please someone explain to me WHY davids was allowed to wear the shades and WHY he wore them. Been watching the game all my life and never figure it out WHY davids had the sun glasses.

[danmartn94]

Soccer now days only have average and horrible players(in general) but in davids era it was really competative like every club in every league competed for their titles, there was many legends that I lose count of them because there was a lot. But now there's only messi and ronaldo how boring it's the same BS.

[sharplikeaknife]

@danmartn94

The modern era is better... football evolved.

[danmartn94]

@sharplikeaknife lol sure dude i don't think seeing the same people competing in for the fifa player of the year every time is better? i think back then in davids era is by far better there was more legends and many big clubs competed for many titles.

[sharplikeaknife]

@danmartn94 you dont know football at all. It is more athletic now, there are better dribblers, and the midfielders of this era are more dominant especially the wing play. Do not cling on to the past, because the present shows more promise.

[danmartn94]

@sharplikeaknife sure well lets wait then and see if there's any promissing players. plus i do know about football yes it's more athletic and faster and lke i said lets wait and see

[s0ccer96]

this helped me a lot

[MineCraftMovies1]

Edgar Davids leert je hoe je een zwarte piet moet zijn...

[theloserlose]

I'd like to see Owen Hargreaves vs Edgar Davids. Although Davids would probably win...

[defaultoasis]

he's arguably the best at his position. makelele, vieira, essien, gattuso, roy keane, redondo, simone, deschamps, ... all had their ways but i like davids the best.

[hotplaye999]

legend!

[TheManGuyDude]

"I'm gonna show you how to operate as a defensive midfielder" *then shows a clip where he's in an advanced position making a playmaker's hollywood pass to patrick kluivert*... yeah.. defensive midfield alright..

[akfaas]

@TheManGuyDude agreed with you!

[staomruel]

@TheManGuyDude You actually describe what sets him apart from practically every other DMF, a rock in front of the CB's plus loads of assists and goals.

Though it is strange to put that clip after that specific comment,but I'm betting Davids didn't edit this clip.

[MrJackC5]

anyone hear something smash at 2:27 :L

[EDIBOX]

dont get me wrong but from 4:28 - 4:34 its like starting to get a gayporn :D with that kind of music and that gay touch of backham :D

[TheMarvelProject]

what a hero!

[ESSJ333]

Alexander song needs to watch this and learn how to hold in mid.

[AlmereTheHague]

Is he a Dutch legend=

[L3Z99]

Its weird,most peoples favourite players are the flashy wingers or the strikers,but mine are the DM's. Gattuso,Keane,Makelele,Viera,p­eople who control the game and just shut the other team out and dominate.

[metsuri69]

good stuff.. he made me look DMF a different way.. He in fact is much more valuable to the team than most realize.

For example Chelsea at the moment is struggling without Essien as he's injured. Liverpool struggled long time when Xavi Alonso left

[SmashingMercury]

Il pittbull!!! DAVIDS GREAT LEGEND IN A BEST EVER TEAM, JUVENTUS!!!

[kobojayusss]

notice how he never takes his eyes off the ball..

[megadmanz]

@kobojayusss Well spotted.

[andydufresne87]

i am a juventus supporter and i will never forget Edgar, such a warrior, JUVENTUS LEGEND!!!

[treverbettis]

1-Take some nadrolone

2-Practice

3-Get a good diet

[SmashingMercury]

@treverbettis idiota finito il processo è risultato che i giocatori della juventus non hanno mai assunto nandrolone o epo.

[izidor]

4:33 becks and davids in cuddle mood :o

[003bone]

Legend 

[grimleemer]

thumbs up if you just came from retarded expertvillage

[mrcarlito976]

The Bulldog!!

[Calatafimi]

He's incredible.

He could be Gattuso, he could be Pirlo. He was tough and also made assists.

The perfect mid !

[sexybryan123]

Is it only me or does Edgar davids really look like arnold scwharzenegger at 0:29

[Calatafimi]

@sexybryan123

Schwarzenigger. AH AH AH AH ! But you're right, it's true. Looks like Arnie a little bit.

[rotaryman2144]

@HDSHINE Absolutely Epic intro to the vid 0:05 - 0:12 LOLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!! THe camera circles him "see the inventor of the 3D TV" hahahaha

[StoneyX213]

I don't even wanna talk about France. They shouldn't be in UEFA they should be in the African confed LOL

[tag1989]

@StoneyX213 lol everybody blames the players for france playing so shit. they should be blaming that dickhead of a manager pissing everybody off.

[Calatafimi]

@StoneyX213

There are some reasons why White men are not so many in France in the football teams...

ps : I'm French...

[capatchini]

best medfield Juventus had in a big while

[StoneyX213]

black guys playing for Netherlands. real dutch don't got good enough players ?

[Excelsior63]

@StoneyX213 Johan Cruyff best player of the world

[dramuse29]

@StoneyX213 LOL! WTF man!

[OGJRebeL]

@StoneyX213 In the top 100 best footballplayers of all time there are at least 15 people from Holland!

[blackhawk693]

@StoneyX213 I think your stoned, or just stupid for saying that. obviously you don't know anything of football, Bergkamp, Overmars, De boer, Koeman, Van basten, Van nistelrooy, Sneijder, Robben.........enough said.

[MrpPauL19]

@blackhawk693 a few players doesen't means you know much about football...

[moluksefreefighter01]

@StoneyX213 thats not us , thats france!

[spandexlover96]

@StoneyX213 its the exact same with france.

[Kranda123]

@StoneyX213 He is dutch you moron.

[ajaxrules1975]

[HEKEMIYE]

@spybianconero felipe melo now is playing very well in galatasaray istanbul

[latandafour]

@spybianconero him and sergio busquets, for the team they're at those two are fucking terrible...

[olestyler44]

@spybianconero Felipe Melo is playing wonderful as a Defensive Midfielder at Galatasaray ! ;)

[spybianconero]

@olestyler44 ok i play in my city perfect DMF but if i go to serie a i will suck xD Felipe Melo is a idiot, waste of money i hope Galatasaray will buy him.

[WarblitzThe]

i think you are my football idol :)

[Serinho67]

11 People get destroyed by a Defensive Midfielder like Edgar Davids. ;)

[kaladenden]

11 people doesn't like Defensive Midfielder

[p14y2w1n]

@kaladenden Fail =.=

[syzeone71]

@kaladenden Epic fail attempt. Good try though.

[MCL8991]

The backbone of the Juve championship years.

[georgenabulele]

The don...he turned FcBarcelona's midfield around with Frank Rijkaard. Thanks man.

[kay19833]

the brain of the whole team is the midfielder.

[WilliamMaxwellOne]

edgar davids is so chill , man . :D

he's like the bob marley of football .

[fuckerij]

edgar davids became a muslim. 

[tombstone569]

i don't understand when my coach says to me - pass and move and keep your position?

[Saas1987]

@tombstone569 He means pass then move into space (to recieve the ball in a better position) then to revert back to your original position when you passed and moved - pass and move is basically pass to someone in a good position (preferably someone who isnt marked or someone who can pass to C easier than A or B can)

[terabben]

He has waited for 3D TV a long time this man.

[125akay]

@terabben

[rotaryman2144]

@terabben HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHHAHA

simplemente NOOB

[youngkeita]

"There is not something called failure"-Edgar Davids

[moluksefreefighter01]

Juventus had a SuperB midfield with Davids/nedved/Zidane/delpiero , and look at them now? Sissoko? felipe melo? LOOOOL its a shame! just like arsenal!

[littlewing62]

@moluksefreefighter01 ehm arsenal has better midfield than the current juve lineup.

[moluksefreefighter01]

@littlewing62 thats was not my point , my point was arsenal had a dream team ( invincebles) and look at them now! , just like juve! they had zidane , davids , nedved etc etc , and now melo and sissoko !!!

[littlewing62]

@moluksefreefighter01 well it's valid for lot's of teams, liverpool, marseille.. etc etc. it's sure that if you look at teams in construction they'll have less glorious past than their successful predecessors.

[gds7777777]

What about Xavi, he moves strings in Barcelona

[BlackPanteraSociety]

@gds7777777

Xavi isn't really the Defensive Midfielder at Barca, Busquets is...or sometimes Keita. Xavi is a more creative central midfielder than a defensive one.

[moluksefreefighter01]

@BlackPanteraSociety xavi is an deep lying playmaker just like pirlo and xabi alonso

[devilondatube]

@moluksefreefighter01 just better than them



[santiago7elite]

wow this guy is great,,,

[corny17]

Just his cool ass glasses alone makes him legendary, being one of the most complete midfielders offensively and defensively helps too i guess. lol

[sanriver12]

what kind of a loser thumbs down a beautiful video like this?

[kanedasrifle]

@AnaAlex10

(round of applause)

[streetstylemagic]

it's a shame u dun see great defensive midfielders nowadays. there are some, but not enough.

[corny17]

@streetstylemagic i'd say one guy that come close to these 3 is Essien? im a United fan but i think Essien's great.

[mishi93]

look @ 0:35 omg xd

[Xander4Metin]

davids ftw

[zulukydd]

in other words:

HOW TO PLAY LIKE ESSIEN!

[giodmx313]

whats the instrumental at 2:07?

[MrTommyfifaking154]

nice glasses

[aivarzLT]

Pitbull is the best one

[ccms9494]

EL NO ES HOLANDES, EL ES DE ¡¡¡¡¡¡SURINAM!!!!!!!

[sortmagi]

I want to have a tattoo of him on my back, he's the best, none come close to him

[Romie1134]

@sortmagi patrick viera, claude Makaleee, roy keane........

[sortmagi]

@Romie1134

Well yeah i agree they were, also great in their best days.

But i think maybe Edgar maybe not had the bset of all skills, but just the highest of all togehter.

I think Roy Keane for example was not as good technique as davids, men maybe better in the heading and tackling.

Makele is also respected from davids.

But Edgar waas the bset i think

[notoriouseno]

I play in  his role, this video really teaches me a lot and inspires me.I want to be just like him. :D

[SuperSkuxxDeluxx]

Defensive Midfielder Skills - Good Tackles, Good at Intercepting Passes, Good Positioning, Good Awarness, Knowing when to foul.... Other attributes that help - Good Long Balls, Good Shooting

[dalin794]

He is the best ever , his googles are remarcable .

[RetardTE]

@dalin794 "his goggles are remarkable"

[luciPer90210]

i want to know why he always wear the that 'google'?

[Jozua86]

@luciPer90210 He has some eye disease, at least that's what "they" say.

[062259435]

@Jozua86 yea I read about the disease on wiki

[TSRF]

@Jozua86 glaucoma

[SameStuffNewStart]

One of my favourite players of all time, what a legend, so glad he's at my local team Palace these days, one of the footballing greats I will always remember, welcome to South London Edgar :)

[RealMadrid4evah]

He was EXTREMELY techniqual and was GREAT dribbler, he has much flair and that he was a DM, no DM now a days has that kind of flair!

[guardiangelfizzi]

@RealMadrid4evah with all respect to davids,i think rite now essien is the best DM in the world,justlike davids was back then...

[RealMadrid4evah]

@guardiangelfizzi

i do agree, but davids was more unique and has superb teqnique along with flair..

and im saying this as not-a-davids-fan, but i do respect him and got nothing against him!

[manpildo]

KIM YOU SUCK

[7europeanfootballer7]

one of the best midfielder great

[iCrapful]

at 1:51 he tackles rosenborgs yssouf konê :P im from trondheim where rosenborg comes from x) ( Norway)

[zece1G]

1. Davids

2. Lothar Matthaus

3. D.Deschamps

4. Makelele

5. Redondo ? Keane ? Rijkaard ?

[ImBoyD20]

@zece1G Viera

[lakota66]

DEFENSIVE MIDFIELDERS = BRAIN, POWER, SKILLS. GATTUSO IS POWER. XABI ALONSO IS BRAIN. CESC FABREGASS IS SKILL.

[richwhyte]

@lakota66 Yeah thats right, Fabregas is a defensive mid....

[lakota66]

@richwhyte what do you want to say with your words?

[ronal80inho]

i think gattusso is just a trouble maker

[andyckybojangles]

Thank you Edgar for being the best an keeping me on top of soccer .

[dikkesappe]

edgar davids is my favorite dutch player :D

[lmvks95]

damn those glasses are so awesome

[KEEPitGREEN4201]

one of my favorites grande edgar

[foxyandy935]

wat is the name of these instrumentals?

[jman1562001]

does anyone know the instrumental to these songs?

[bernardocoronel]

Edgar Davids is just a badass, LOOK AT HIM!! he looks like a pimp!

[Gunmay1994]

He must really feel cool by using the glases on the field hehe

[nathan1289245]

He does`nt even say his own name right.

[iTzCeeJay]

@nathan1289245 - Of course he's saying his own name right, it's his focking name.

[nathan1289245]

@iTzCeeJay. It was a joke, because he is dutch, so chill, you big head.

[iTzCeeJay]

@nathan1289245 - Racist Joke...

[nathan1289245]

@iTzCeeJay. I`m Dutch and black, so how is that racist, you crusty bumhole.

[iTzCeeJay]

@nathan1289245 - Okay I apologise, I just get annoyed when people are racist on here.

[619Madrid]

its also amazing that with an eye disadvantage his passes are so accurate. he inspires me

[AtGiza]

I admire dutch football so very very much.

How can a country as small as The Netherlands produce such good quality in sports?

Oranje BOOM!!!!!!!! (by the way this beer is aweful, drink grolsch instead)

[chrisvda88]

@AtGiza uuuh no the beer is perfect..

[bulaba911]

@AtGiza Qualty over quanity. I think their education and goverment play a lot role in this. Food also. Being a small country, they have agricultural industries to proud of. So nutrition play a big part in development of their body to be an athlete.

[hupholland5]

@AtGiza

heiniken is also good, Dutch taste :)

[Stokkie92]

@AtGiza Heineken :)

[acmilan10italia]

he sounds like ARNOLD!

[wickedshadow83]

[pechzijmetu]

the eye glasses are for disease : glaucoom

[andrethethrashe]

today the best is Cambiasso

[10AlexDeSouza10]

i have the same glasses when i play soccer :D

[nark619]

he wears eye glasses because he wants to!

[dysfac]

whoopi goldberg

[Vitaminnn07]

he's so explosive.. man.. and his long distance passes are so accurate.

he's my childhood hero, since euro 2000

[zighaiwan]

He gives bad advice to make all you ppl look dumb.

[xxStrkeb4ck]

I love DM, I feel an obligation to go back and help the team, but I can still score goals and make plays. Thanks for this upload.

[wilmots1234]

this video is great fantastic

[08havoc08]

Davids and Makkelle best DM ever!

[Ruben2290]

Anyone know what the songs in this video are?

Many thanks. Cheers from the states.

[Therohits2010]

i liked the last part when he says there is no such thing as fail er just keep working harder

[MrRicardorocha80]

what a nice bloke!

[spybianconero]

felipe melo must watch this video for juventus sake :D hahaha

[KKRAZy66]

GREAT PLAYER

[ZiNgErFtW]

edgar davids is a good man and very good player

[Sidney920]

why does he always wear glasses when he plays ?

[Ronaldinho10futbol]

maybe he cant see well without them? duh

[jimboboyy]

Sidney920- He has glaucoma

[TheTommyboy101]

He had glaucoma, the glasses protected his eyes.

[dessertMETALSHJ]

@Sidney920 because its cool

[cerati88]

He speaks English! That makes it three (Italiano, Nederlands, English) and yes one of the finest players out there from a generation of fantastic Dutch players (Dennis Bergkamp, Clarence Seedorf, Marc Overmars, Patrick Kluivert, etc.) that made a great spell on football in the 90's

[AnisieiAlexandru]

i like edgar davids very much....were can i find a t-shirt with his name from ajax? my messenger id is davids_newcasttle....greetings from romania..

[syafiqmilan]

box to box player

[benvindo05]

edgar davids, makelele and gatuso are all machines. legends of the game.

[mrmillion94]

@benvindo05 add Essien to that list mate

[edgardavids260]

EdGaR dAvIdS iS tHe BeSt

LOVEEEEEEEEEE HIIIIIM

[ReggaeZal]

davids is an attacking defensive midfielder, so he defends, he attacks and he plays in midfield, shortly put he was a very complete player.

[khameleon7]

I've never quite seen that description...but its as accurate as it gets!!!!
