[theotheawesome]

like Xavi said: i dont get why Michael Laudrup didnt get the player of the year title

[M10663]

@theotheawesome .you mean guordiola?

[katmedhat]

Messi= The new Laudrup !

[xGA1x]

@katmedhat ... not even close, they doesnt even play the same position

[MrSoerensen94]

I'd still wish that you were playing for the national team!

llaauuddrruupp du er lige så genial til at lave compilations, som Michael var til at spille fodbold.

All what he touched turned into magic, and all what you touch turns into magic!

[ROEDERBABY]

Den mand scorede sjældent selv, men han sørgede for at alle andre gjorde.

Typisk tegn på den perfekte playmaker.

[1234xenia1234]

# Capello (After the 4–0 win of Milan against Barcelona in the 1994 CL final):"Laudrup was the guy I feared but Cruyff left him out, and that was his mistake."[26]

# Figo:"I think maybe Laudrup was the best player I ever played against."[27]

# Mourinho:"He was phenomenal in Barcelona. He was a fantastic player whom I would love to have on my team today." [28]

[1234xenia1234]

# Ferrer: "Few people made me enjoy the game as much as Michael. Maybe he didn’t get the media recognition he deserved, but he was so classy and a real thinker. A master of the blind pass and impossible through-balls and I will never forget his ‘spoon’ pass in a game against Osasuna. He lifted the ball right over the defence and Romario touched it in first time."[25]

[Zecalran]

@1234xenia1234 I Love this guy's way of playing the game he was damn good wif those passes!

[1234xenia1234]

# Brian Laudrup: "My brother started as an attacker but became an elegant attacking midfielder, perhaps the most complete there has ever been. His vision, speed of thought and passing were on a different level; he always knew what was going to happen before anybody else did. If anyone had a ‘football brain’, it was him."[24]

[1234xenia1234]

# Koeman: "Michael was possibly the most skilful and elegant player I ever played with. Few could dribble like he could. He could sense when a game was ready to be seized and transformed by a moment of individual brilliance."[22]

# Stoichkov: "One of the best European players I’ve ever seen. An elegant, old-fashioned playmaker, he did things few other footballers could do."[23]

[1234xenia1234]

# Roberto Galia: "I have played against Maradona, Platini and Baggio. But the player I saw do the most indescribable things was Michael Laudrup."[21]

# Clemente: "To me, Michael Laudrup is the most genius player the world has ever seen. He will always be my numero uno. Always."[20]

# Bakero: "No one has given the club [Barcelona] as much inspiration as Michael. We all look up to him. It is a privilege to have your day enriched by a genius."[20]

[1234xenia1234]

# Platini: "One of the biggest talents ever. The best in the world on the training pitch, but never used his talent to its full during matches.[20]

# Platini: "Michael had everything except for one thing: he wasn't selfish enough."[9]

# Guardiola: "The best player in the world, I can't believe he hasn't won the title as best player."[citation needed]

# Beckenbauer: "Pelé was the best in the 60s, Cruyff in the 70s, Maradona in the 80s and Laudrup in the 90s."[20]

[1234xenia1234]

how come Laudrup never won the ballon ? vision of xavi.. skill of iniesta.. coolness of zidane.. best foreign player in la liga in the past 25 years... voted in 1999 :) a periode of players such as Romario (who won the ballon) stoichkov (also won it) Ronaldo (also won it) figo (the same) rivaldo, maradonna and the list goes on... makes no sence..

# Romário: "The best player I have ever played with and the 5th best in the history of the game"[11]

# Raúl: "The best I have ever played with."[10]

[1234xenia1234]

@1234xenia1234 # Zamorano: "Un genio!", "The reason why I make so many goals, is Laudrup."[18]

# Cruyff: "One of the most difficult players I have worked with. When he gives 80–90% he is still by far the best, but I want 100%, and he rarely does that."[19]

# Cruyff (After Real Madrid with Laudrup had won 5–0 over Cruyff's Barcelona): "When Michael plays like a dream, a magic illusion, determined to show his new team his extreme abilities, no one in the world comes anywhere near his level."[20]

fed video

[Eskidead]

I think I've seen all your videos llaauuddrruupp and still I'm just as amazed as the first time I saw them.

Like the pass at 5:10 - Michael just stands still, looks up swings his right leg, and the opponents defence is ripped apart. How the hell could he see such things??

[987costa]

why does everyone keep thinking zidane was the best playmaker of all time?he wasnt even the best in hi sprime in serie a lol.idiots.

[JamesSaw89]

Laudrup , Maradona , Messi , Iniesta ... simply dribbling ... not too flashy but effective ...

[vi6vi6]

un crack, un adelantado en su época.

[kosovanwhizkid]

Most underrated player ever much?

[BarcaLaudrop]

Johan , Platini , Archibald , Laudrop & Zidane .....all really elegant playerz

[redcat10]

laudrup was elegance personfied. all todays players are flashy and great, but guys like zizou and michael made it look all soooo easy

[EnzoCheLatino]

@redcat10 All the spanish players are like this.

[redcat10]

@EnzoCheLatino villa torres and ilorente are NOTHING like this

[EnzoCheLatino]

@redcat10 David silva, iniesta, xavi, mata, fabregas.... all technical players that are pure skill, and english is my second language, DOUCHE.

[johnluisharrison]

laudrup es genial uno de los mejores de todos los tiempos

[redcat10]

laudrup was unparrelled in his time.....when felt like it

[MasterOfTheUniver]

exactly.. when felt like it.

[LaudruplLaudrup]

Isn't really that elegant????? You are talking about the most elegant player in history.

[mr82769]

His dribbling isnt. All the others things are but not the dribbling.

[peterk87]

WHAT?!! lol

Let me guess your one of these people who thinks C Ronaldo and Ronaldinho are elegant dribblers right??

I cant understand how you dont think Laudrups dribbling style isnt elegant, its so simple and balanced it looks effortless.

[mr82769]

He just takes advantage of the opponent when theyre out of balance. Its effective and as you say simple - but not that elegant. Maybe in the sense that it doesnt get so physical but...

Oh and btw... You guessed wrong. Messi is fast, direct and effective. Much like Maradona was.

[peterk87]

i didnt mention maradona or messi??

Anyway its not perticularly important, nore can we decide who is right or wrong, just a difference of opinion.

[redcat10]

what song is that played in the beginning?

[llaauuddrruupp]

Dry the Rain by The Beta Band.

[redcat10]

shame he never went to liverpool

[homercostanza]

The best playmaker of the past 20 years..Very underrated!

[magodeozmadrid]

Simplemente...UN GENIO!!!!

[WeHadADealKyle]

how can u say after maradona? laudrup was better! but pelé was above em both, though.

[Mikkel4521]

An amazing player ahead of his time. He was a true teamplayer and a gentleman on the field.

[LetsRide21]

Trappatoni has said:"if he had been more selfish he would have been know as the best ever, even better then Maradona"

[sallum81]

Top Man....so creative..one of the best ever playmakers in football history.....he really makes you enjoy football more & more..he makes it look like a fine & beautiful piece of art!

[federicorabbia]

There is in internet an interview to Roberto Galia an old Verona and Juventus player(in the '80s and the first years of '90s).Roberto Galia has told:"in Italian championship i have played against Maradona, Platini, Baggio, Zico, Van Basten, Gullit, Mattheus.. But the player that i saw to make absolutley indescribable things was Micheal Laudrup..."

Bye.

Friendly.

Federico

[igrq]

After Zidane he is the best playmaker of all time

[LaudruplLaudrup]

His playmaking skills are above Zidane's, but Zidane was stronger mentaly.

[PurpleAndZeppelin]

After Maradona, he's the best football player ever.

[nillenulle]

maybe he is not the best football player any more but he is in my eyes. and he will always be the best artist. he is my favourite. he have all that the danish team needs.

[theiamania]

an amazing chess player on the football field

[transylvanian23]

You just had to run..., he would give u the pass from nowhere!

-†vampy†

[MadridNRoses]

Sweet Child O' Mine! & Michael Laudrup good conection!

[pascualdrup]

BRILLIANT VIDEO! Sir Michael Laudrup provided a new way to play football never seen before. His passes are perfect in all senses (direction, wight, timing...). he is magic as makes the defense falls into a trap, fall into a trick , hiding his cards until last moment... kills the defense mechanism of the oppositte team with a smile on his face... Please post more of his videos, I'm a great fan. Mange tak

[MadridNRoses]

Oh, my god!

Michael Laudrup is the best, as i said before i love to play, because of Laudrup!

[LaudruplLaudrup]

Man glæder sig virkelig til dine klip, fortsæt endelig!!!

[ringo9277]

Laudrup will be forever my favourite football player. This video shows why. Thank you for it!

[peterk87]

Great video again, something ive noticed as ive watched your videos is, not only did he have vision like no other, but he had that ability to judge the weight of a pass and to have the accuracy to feed it through the eye of a needle. Not only a genious but techniqually flawless and in a league of his own.

[raben39]

Fantastisk video.. Du laver virkelig nogle fede videoer ;)

Stolt over at være den første til at se den herinde :D

[llaauuddrruupp]

Takker :-)

[StativStakitKasket]

@llaauuddrruupp tårene triller af glæde!! Fantastico!
