RECOBA "Misunderstood genius"

[scp1234567890]

song ?

[elqsabe1]

yes, he could be the best ever, but his nagativity and poor mentality and lack of ambition, left him behind, i do remeber an inteview wiht him for Uruguay Tv, he say" i dont care, i dont want be the best"...he even in Inter went to training whne he want it, sometimes, he doesnt assit to training...sometime 3 times a week, and today. to be fit, and trining fisicaly and mentality is most important to be the best.

[123xxt]

keep in Inter, is his big mistake :(

[Farshad1975]

best turkish player ever

[yanfei87]

@Farshad1975 he is from uruguay

[Recoba20High]

Recoba my favourite player #1 and always will be <3 Recoba

[enzuxdu68]

if this guy was bresilian , everybody said he's the best.

[Julianm1993]

you say messi,I say RECOBA

[wickedemperor]

He's never done anything playing for his national team. He's pretty much done now.

[advancedtotal]

@wickedemperor : He did reach the World Cup finals in 2002, and narrowly missed out on the 2006 finals after a loss in the play-off vs. Australia.

[BurnRoddy]

WC FINALS!? Dude, he performad penalty shot goal (although his pass against Australia on play offs was way better) in one of the best, most thrilling matches I've seen for my country, and probably one of the best matches in Uruguay's history.

A match against Senegal in which 2nd half Uruguay recovered from a 3-0 loss to a 3-3 and almost had the 4-3. But we were out at the end of the 1st round.

And though we won 6 Copa America tournament since the 50s we don't reach the WC finals since then.

[Muzzynator]

one of the best free kick executioners I've ever had the pleasure to watch, every time I see how well known and respected he is around the world I feel proud not only to be a lefty but also uruguaian just as him, in his best moments he was simply a beast, simply magestic

[brunothagetto]

he's fast as hell damn...

[SZS0001]

i wish he plays in the copa america or the next world cup....................... Uruguay forward = Recoba + Forlan + Suarez ............will be his last chance at anything so he has to prove himself

[fabianlaguzzi24]

@SZS0001 I wish he plays at the national team again,at least half time or 30 minutes,every game of THE COPA AMERICA.

Forza Uruguay!!! 4th in South Africa!

bye bye...

[SZS0001]

@fabianlaguzzi24 4th in the world, 1st in America....next time 1st in world (hopefully)

[cek128]

Great !!

[666CaoCao]

One of my all time favourite players - Recoba is the epitome of why love football.

[Her00z111]

the song is from metal gear solid 2 sons of liberty

[666CaoCao]

@Her00z111 Thanks

[limperass]

The reasons why he never reached the fame of Maradona are, big lack of support of the national press and the fans of national team, continuity (he never had a good relationship whit their coach), and a world cup, which i'm sure it wolud happen with the right support and continuity. I also think that their partners sucked too (onthe national team)

[limperass]

Not everybody hates Recoba in Uruguay, the problem is that people who hates him are, in the most of the cases; "manyas pechos frios": Now, why don´t u say that the rest of the players on the National Team of Uruguay were a non talent piece of shit, all of them babys of "el Paco", placed by himself on Europe, come on, if Recoba were played at hte side of Ruben Sosa, "El Manteca"; Bengoechea the history would change on an awesome way. Uruguay = mentalidad mediocre

[vart25]

Totaly agree Mancini killed him with bench insted played Adriano who was doing nothing beside drinking and party one of the big mistakes that he left Inter he should have been with Javier and Ivan unfair

[ljoekelsoey4]

he wasnt misunderstood, he was just inconsistent and unlucky

[MrMartinSosa]

MAGIC + TALENT: RECOBA

[kelv8]

Top draw

[mefromda757]

right now i'm waiting for the next great uruguayan player after recoba

[puppet00productions]

@mefromda757 diego forlán... and next to him luis suarez! and let me tell you here in uruguay we hate recoba, cuz he never gave us any little thing.

[mefromda757]

@puppet00productions well after the world cup i agree. he'll have the greatest legacy in uruguayan football, before francescoli and schiaffino

[GabrielGaliano]

He had the instinct of the great football genies like Maradona, Romario, Baggio, Ronaldinho Gaúcho, Ronaldo... He knew when to shoot or drible. More than fantastic...

[gilperu]

he was the best talent since maradona, but mancini is an idiot who killed him, letting him on the bench always

[Sanjamarkospaske]

..Pure genius..left foot even better than Maradona

[KieranD212]

@Sanjamarkospaske

recoba is and was better than maradonna he just never achieved the same amount of success or recognition

underrated would sum him up pretty well

its good to see fans still appreciate his talent

[Farshad1975]

the greatest turkish player ever..

[natilachiqui]

he isn't turkish.. He is Uruguayan!

[siegmantu]

genio

[vans1820]

he is my idol in football....love him

[galaxymess]

He has the best shot technique of all time.

[Christoffski]

I dunno... he's up there, but Rivaldo.. O.O

[KieranD212]

never forget recoba, if history can teach us anything its that we must never waste another talent of his calibre

pure raw skill and footwork are not all you need to succeed so it seems but you need that as a basis for greatness

Inter needed stable coaches to be able to use him properly and they needed a little faith in him, with a strong coach and some playing time he would have been the best there ever was

[OndrejPetriska]

Recoba = talent, inteligencia a kurevska smola

but he has best period a Venezia

[GabrielGaliano]

Recoba ha un piede sinistro a livello di Maradona e Rivaldo. Il suo talento è l'opera degli dei del calcio. Un mago che avrebbe dovuto prendere una tappa al livello del loro calcio.

[von36]

its nice to see that people loved Recoba as much as me. Amazing player, shame about his injuries/fitness.

[ArmenSur]

yep you'll always be in the heart of this generation of true Inter Fans.

Grande Recoba

[martgonzo]

misunderstood? technically recoba was a genius but he was let down by his own mentality

[KieranD212]

he needed a great coach to take him under their wing to teach him that mentality, credit to the man when it didnt go right he took it personally had a lot of emotion he just couldnt channel it into playing better he didnt have that drive that players like raul have when its not going you try harder if you dont win you learn from it... recoba just got disheartened

he was injury prone too and he knew this

shouldve been the worlds best

[Christoffski]

Exactly. Same with a lot of enigmatic geniuses like Riquelme, D'allessandro and Van Der Vaart. But some have gone on to turn their individual talents into team success. Djalminha's a good example.

[KieranD212]

@Christoffski i agree

recoba is a genius but something was missing that all those other great players have had

recoba is a true interisti

[fedeturner]

metal gear solid!!!!!!

[cpthurme]

One of my fav players as a kid

Beautiful curl on his free kicks

[Madefras]

Genius....

[francescooria]

grande recoba uno dei migliori giocatori dell'inter, fiero di essere interista!!!!!!!

[5aled32]

inter fans will always remember you el'chino..

[AnoRMaLi17]

Music is from MGS isn't it ?

[BD5gangstar]

goal at 1:00 just prove he has sumthin special!!!!

legend!!

[111argentina111]

Brilliant skills, no doubt, but I don't see the genius in this.

[charrua007]

that may be cause he was born on the right side of the river

[joqqeman]

The genious part is what happened with coaches like Cuper who didnt play him, so he didnt get to show his talent

[rodrymoya]

grande el chino

[jimjemson]

left foot with venom!

[OmegaTauGTA]

Inter is not the same without him, I've been an Inter fan while he was in it, now, I'm starting to dislike it, it's just not the same, it became too comercialised. Inter was never comercialised like other world known clubs, now it is..

[jshoup]

The main difference is that they can actually win something.

[juscheckin01]

A lot like riquelme in the lazy magician catagorie. Recoba was better but ya know what i mean...he didn't have the enthuasiasm to match his talent

[stajnajn]

for me he is the best player ever, up there with maradona, and he is my favorite player still, he is the reason i started to watch inter and become their fan.

[stivante]

exactly same here

[rich925]

yes recoba should of been there with zlatan!!!

[agustiadi]

yeah..El Chino....Forza Inter

[puppet00productions]

@stajnajn anyway if you see deeply, inter strarts to win things when recoba left the club,,,

[KalleVarta]

@stajnajn Thats exactly my story too. I will never forget him. Were he only ten, or so, years younger and wore the Inter-jersey. Danubio fans, you are blessed.

[A7madooni]

@stajnajn i love ur opinion!!!!!! and i love the video title too..cuz recoba is one of the best players in the history of football..but he will be always misunderstood..no matter hw he become more famous and loved from ppl..still will not be enough for him

[jubolito]

@stajnajn same here!  I am an inter fan today because of this man.

[CabbageCorn]

@stajnajn Shut up.

[stajnajn]

@CabbageCorn .!.

[CabbageCorn]

@stajnajn thrown up all over my computer after that horrible comment do you even watch football?

[stajnajn]

@CabbageCorn I throwed up on your mum coz she born such idiot

[CabbageCorn]

@stajnajn wow your comebacks are as bad as your knowledge on football. Explain to me how he is the best player ever? don't get me wrong talented player, but never had any consistency yeah had injuries but hes most best season for Inter was his first only managed 10 league goals. The guy didn't work hard enough on the pitch when things didn't go his way didn't want to know.

[stajnajn]

@CabbageCorn Do you know how ti read??? I said that he is best player FOR ME!!! Not for you and anyone else, so fuck off. He is my favorite player and he always will be.

[CabbageCorn]

@stajnajn you said best player EVER.

[guwziiqoblulu]

@stajnajn He could have become the world greatest, but he did'nt because of a bad mentality and injuries :/ im an inter fan, I really wished he fulfilled his potential, he would have challegned Ronaldo and Ronaldinho for the world player of the year

[JEBEMTIPASMATER]

Soy de Danubio y me crie viendo al chino en inferiores y los dos años que jugo en danubio siendo un pibe y es sin duda el jugador mas talentoso que vi en mi vida segun los veteranos solamente comparable con ruben sosa...para mi el chino es UNICO

[rocanlover11]

creo ke recoba y forlan han sido los mejores futbolistas uruguayos de los ultimos tiempos... creo ke los unicos

[Harvy355]

Its so sad and such a shame he didnt have that drive and desire that Ronaldo has had, so much so that he has come back from career threatening, and to anyone else career ending injury 3 times.

Its just such a shame that this talent has sort of gone to waste even though he has played amazingly... dont get second chances in a career like this..

[10angrytigers]

He is actually right footed. They flipped the video horizontally so it looks like he is a lefty.

[andyhagi86]

His left foot rivals steve stauntons

[ibras99]

great recoba

[nocternalD]

Recoba, great player!

shame that he was so inconsistent!

The injuries didn't help either

[Terorst]

ye if he was determined and driven enuf he would hav been remembered as one of the best strikers to ever play the game, up with pele and maradona definately

[mirjalovic]

yeah,,,he is the real one

[tacoandbeer]

What can you say? Some of the stuff he does in this video is simply unbelieveable. Its a shame that he lacked the mentality of a true champion because in terms of ability and skill he was simply magnificent.

[taspani]

chino welcome to panionios.you are a true god!

[xBuMfReShx]

Awesome playeerrr...

but he's such a ball hogger..

he never passes it..

Awesome player..great skill..

horrible mentality..

;]..Wish u da best Recoba..

[recobaforever]

you dont understand what mean fotball..fuck you

[mugensur]

lol no need to insult.

xBuMfReShx, I'll have to disagree with you on what you commented, if you were to say these things about recoba then you'll have to say the same about every soccer player...sometimes they pass the ball sometimes they don't and so on...

[Panthiras87]

is there a reason to pass , when u have a the skill and feeling the ball will come to the back of teh net ??

[javierhejtmanek]

this guy is fucking unbelievable, a true genius!

[vitakinesis]

you know the inter was stupid he never play he was always in the banch

so he cant be the players who need to be

[edward88edward]

he wasn't always on the bench, he was always injured, that's why he played so little

[GamerAriel88]

Jugadoraso. Lastima las lesiones seguidas. Volve a Nacional

[cfpgcfpg]

Great skill. horrible mentality.

[Bingharoma]

you know nothing!

[JoGaBonito1908]

el chino ci manchi.

[pancilobak]

too bad he played for inter and thus unable to grow. If only he played for AC milan, juventus, real madrid, barca, manchester united or arsenal, he would be considered one of the world class player. Inter has record of ruining players' career in the 90s and early 2000. Only recently they have some kind of stability in their rooster. As soon as they put in the stability, they won 3 scudetto. MORONnati should learn from this and don't repeat the mistake from 90s

[mastrog86]

He is in Greece now, for Panionios...

So sad he isnt here for Olympiakos.

[MDE1992]

I have always enjoyed his playing since i was a little child(10years old)  it started when i watched the Uefa-cup semi final between Feyenoord and Inter in 2002. Inter lost but the way he played he is such a technician, i hope he will come back in greece and wish him good luck. Greetings from Holland;)

[d1noc]

forget about mls he came in greece! panionios fc

[khaweja]

RECOBA's left foot makes beckham's right shot look so fable. recoba can outshine beckham in the MLS, he still got it in him yet he is younger than becks. Come to the MLS alvaro.

[AbdulazizM1982]

آه على ايامك يا ريكوبا :(

[stream8400]

great player

[nakalegend]

ye it is the metal gear solid theme tune

[MagethaTheLion]

OMG! i love when he shoot with his left leg and the goalkeeper dont even move XDD great player! :D

[elano11blumer]

What's the Song plzz????

[corrspt]

I think it's the main theme from the Metal Gear Solid II OST (it's a video game for Playstation 2).

[KenRock316]

Great Player!

[hassanane]

why the hell have you used the metal gear solid tune...loool

plonka, nice video though..hahaha

[gonzalogiraldez]

Sin lugar a dudas el chino es un Fuera de serie.

Tambien es claro que el Uruguay esta enterrado porque estamos llenos de gente resentida y envidiosa que nunca ha hecho nada y hara pero que opina y critica como forma de tapar su frustracion y apatismo. Estamos llenos de gente que se conforma con un mate, el asado y poco mas El chino no es responsable de nada del fracaso de Uruguay , es mas, este pais esta podrido de gente mala, cosa que pocos nos atrevemos a decir. Fuerza Chino .

[charrua007]

Lo dijistes todo Gonzalo, pero tambien hay buenos

[ottoass]

genious! sad he got so many injuries in a row. but he is best.

[yoyalgunnumero]

Genius! Genial! Genio! fuist lo mejor chino! you were the best then, you still are in our hearts. go recoba!

[medinitaa]

yo un fan de recoba pero eso k dises de las cuentas bancarias es una burrada,jajajjajjjaja,recoba fue el jugador mejor pagado del mundo un año,la chekera del chino no es pequeña,jajajjajjja,grannde recoba y el k iso el video con el temazo de solid snake muy bueno

[hijuepuya]

fue el mejor pagado porque el Inter tenia miedo de que otro equipo se lo llevara, especialmente el Juventus

[adriank5]

bien representado si en el inter siempre fue suplente. con la selecsion jamas metio huevo y nunca gano nada importante con nacional. hacenos un favor chino y quedate en italia.. el chino es un pecho frio... y no es que no tubiera suerte sino que jamas quito la mente de la guita que robaba en italia .. y todavia ahi gente como vos, que en ves de idolar jugadores que sudan la celeste idolatran a los jugadores con grandes cuentas bancarias. asi estamos pais! OBDULIO VOLVE!

[agustricolor]

yo prefiero un pecho frío con talento como recoba, a un perro que sude la camiseta (que hay muchos y para lo único que sirven es eso... sudar la camiseta porque de fútbol NADA) igual me sumo a lo de OBDULIO VOLVÉ!

[charrua007]

que sudan la camiseta hay muchos, genios pocos

[charrua007]

Siempre lo mismo, a nuestros genios, a los mismos que el mundo adira le damos por la cabeza por no poner "huevos".

Por que a los que ponen huevos no les piden que se driblen a medio Brasil, o que se retiren apludido por los contrarios, como hacia el chino?

[charrua007]

Si le pedis a Recoba que meta huevo entonces pedile al canario Garcia (no tengo nada contra el) que eluda a medio Brasil, ponga un pase de gol desde la mitad de la cancha jugando contra el campeon del mundo y re retire apludido por los jugadores contrarios

[rambla73]

anche se vinciamo sempre senza il chino non è la stessa cosa.... torna chino!!!

[TenkSnake]

ma cosa c'entra metal gear col chino?? :D

[adriank5]

Un FRACASADO mas CON selecsion URUGUAYA.

[Latinbar1]

Fracasado seras vos, el chino es un fenomeno y lo demostro jugando en uno de los mejores clubes del mundo.

Vos donde jugastes en cerrito????

Chino sos un grande aunque no tuviste la suerte que tuvieron otros en nuestra seleccion.

De todas maneras siempre dejastes bien representado el futbol Uruguayo en el mundo y giles como este no les de bola.

---------Que jodido ser fracasado con mas de 20 millones de dolares... familia, hijos, esposa y seguir con la cabeza gacha.

[mugensur]

habla alguien que vive de chupar huevos por cinco pesos! jajaja callate pendejo!

[kiorritoz]

Recoba is the best player bin the world.only unlucky. The best scorer, best techinque speed and shot.

I will miss you chino, chino torna all'inter mi manchi sei un grande!

[MammadiAntonio]

Uno specialista del calcio. Non è sicuramente completo ma è uno dei migliori mancini di tutti i tempi. A questo si aggiunge una grande fantasia calcistica.. Genio Chino!

[Nekoplayer]

I support Arsenal and Inter and Recoba is probably the best player I've ever seen, I wish he was played more at Inter.

[eatmydickPKK]

best left foot :D

ı want to see him live..

but its not to be

BESİKTAS ! ! !

FORZA İNTER !!!

[xxvenomous]

Come è possibile che Recoba non sia diventato tra i giocatori più forti al mondo? Sa tirare sia di fioretto che di sciabola, e ha una tecnica immensa. E' unico.

[Elvira37]
