In a football world increasingly forgetful of the past this channel is dedicated to keeping the memory of the Laudrups' (and a few other players') beautiful skill on the pitch alive.
I see a lot of comments about comparing Laudrup with Zidane and others - who is better etc. Why ? just enjoy Laudrup and leave the other players out. Michael can not be compared with other players - he is unique.
He played for Juve, Lazio, Ajax, Barça, Real.... a journey. 5 times Spain Champion. Considered best Danish Player Ever in his Homeland. And i consider him one of the Genius i had the chance to see in action, he was a true creator anything could happen when he was on the field. one love from France.
Yes, first I saw him and then was great Zizou, 2 playmakers of the greatest quality whom I've appreciated so much. Every game with them I've payed all my atention what they do on the field: every move, every pass, every glance
Funny though he wasn't really considered the best in his homeland when he actually played, other players always used to beat him for danish player of the year
@@brianlaudrupchannel it was because in that era other danish star players was around like Brian Laudrup who won this award 4 time and Peter Schmeichel and Elkjær and other great players was around in that time frame but Michael Laudrup is considered the greatest danish player ever I know that because I live here and everybody says he is the best we ever had but we had a few great like Schmeichel and Elkjær and his brother Brian but now we have Eriksen who not in the same league as being the greatest but still one of the best we ever had definitely the best we have now with Peter Schmeichel son Kasper Schmeichel
I think there hasn't been a player that has such a great vision of the game like Laudrup. Laudrup was elegance, vision, class, accurate passes and dribbling. Laudrup best playmaker ever.
@@janjensen8289 no he wasn't dribbling and ball control they were equal and you could say iniesta was better when it came to passing accuracy and ball retention he was also better
@@janjensen8289 are you slow I said dribbling and ball control they are around equal and I said iniesta has better passing accuracy which is true I never said he's a better overall passer or has better vision
I have to confess I didn't know he was this good. I watched him when he was 34 and thought why all this people so much whining about him when he is so slow and average. But he was master-class before now I see. Bravo Michael...
Being understated is part of the appeal imo. That's what a gentleman is. Who cares what the majority thinks? Watching these videos is totally mesmerising. And the subtleness is a big reason for it, i think. He does things that are seemingly impossible and makes no fuss about it. Like it's nothing. And you sit back thinking what just happened there. He is more of a magician trying to hide his tricks than he's a flashy entertainer trying to make everything bigger. That's why he's underrated imo.
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
"Pelé was the best in the 60s, Cruyff in the 70s, Maradona in the 80s and Laudrup in the 90s." - Franz Beckenbauer. "Who is the best player in history? Laudrup." - Andres Iniesta. "The best player I have ever played with and the 4th best in the history of the game" - Romário.
but that was before the game had seen Cr7, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Messi and properly a couple of other players but I agree Laudrup is a top 25-50 player all time
@@andersnielsen6044 no I am aware that he said Laudrup was the best he ever played against. He did however, say Maradona was the best he had ever seen growing up. And that Eusebio was his idol. Laudrup was an awesome player tho
One of the most elegant and aesthetically pleasing footballers ever. Perhaps only George Best has embodied the Beautiful Game more than Michael laudrup.
He was incredible. I got to see him play when he was with ajax. Genius cerebral and technical players like him, Bergkamp, Zidane and even Riquelme are one of the reasons why this sport is so great.
I remember him being outstanding for Denmark in the 1986 World Cup. Also remember him and Platini destroying the opposition when they both played for Juventus. One of the greatest footballers in the past 25 years. He also seems to be a really nice guy.
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 ...
Better than Cruyff (Master of the pace) probably the most pure 10 or 8, mentality of a passer team player and the Best to break a defense in the Last line passing , amazing dribbler, great iq, off the charts vision,
People forget that he helped build Barcelona, everyone takes for granted now that they're a top team that wins constantly, back then it wasn't so. Before him they're usual spot was 2. or 3. after Real Madrid. None of the greates that exist today has ever done that, even Messi as great as he is, was made from something there already were.
Loved Brendon Rogers and feel very grateful for his contribution to Swansea's success. Wish him the best of luck in Liverpool and always. Today, it is time to welcome Michael Laudrup, wish him a very happy Birthday and give him a grand welcome to Swansea. We wish him and Swans the best of luck.
That's cos he's so good, it makes the defenders like pedestrian. Btw, Laudrup ALWAYS played at the highest levels, so you're looking at world class defenders he's dribbling against
The magic of this kind of players its very hard to see these days, Maradona, Platini, Laudrup, Bergkamp, Riquelme thanks a lot for your art and the fifferent view of this lovely game, Football!
Magnifico video! excelente para ver la majestuosidad de esta leyenda del futbol. Nunca en la historia un jugador tendra la misma clase y vision de juego como Laudrup, q elegancia para jugar
i am portuguese and im 15 years old and this is the first time i watch him play, and im just speechless. he has a really nice touch and he is the must elegant player i have ever seen. i alwalys thougt that zidane was the must elegant player but now.... i dont know
Os jogadores que eu mais admirei dos últimos 50 anos? Pelé, Maradona, Ronaldo, Zidane, Van Basten e Michael Laudrup. Muitas pessoas ficam surpresas quando eu menciono Laudrup, mas ele foi o melhor companheiro que tive em toda a carreira. Ele tem dois pés ótimos e era brilhante nos passes. Para um atacante como eu, jogar ao seu lado era uma benção”. Não é sempre que você ouve um elogio desses de um artilheiro, ainda mais quando vem de Romário. As aspas do Baixinho, em entrevista à World Soccer em 2010, ajudam a dimensionar o quanto jogava Michael Laudrup. Um craque que merece muito mais consideração do que recebe.
I came upon this guy by accident while I was watching other soccer videos (older ones in particular). By my own assessment he is definently one of the top 3 players ever. Also by all of those quotes below it just shows it. This man set the bar for players like Xavi/Iniesta in which set the mold they emulated.
I know people who listen to Mozart/Beethoven when they dont feel well. It soothes them. I just watch Laudrup videos.I only knew him by name 10 years ago. Wish i had watched this guy play live.Sometimes i think he plays like Zidane. Sometimes like Iniesta. Sometimes even like Messi. He's just tremendous.
***** Zidane did not play anything at Juventus .... In the 1998 World Cup only scored twice head... The Laudrup was smarter, had a better dribbling, and won a Confederations Cup in 1995 by Denmark
laudrup was a better as playmaker (maybe the best) but overall i think zidane was better and more complete as player also he wins others cups ( euro 2000, supercoupe italy 98 and ldc 2002)
The Arizona Joker I agree with your comment, mainly on Riquelme ... Djalminha, Hagi and Ginola were also better than Zidane ... In the 2000s it was not the injuries, Recoba also would be ...
It is a pleasure to watch how he used to play. His skills reminds me of Iniesta, they both have a top-class style that only a few players in history had. As Beckenbauer said: "Pelé was the best in the 60s, Cruyff in the 70s, Maradona in the 80s and Laudrup in the 90s."
Indeed! my favourite players. Apart from their amazing talent and intelligence, they were also great characters and very underrated! I hope Dennis will become a manager too as i am sure he can become a great one. Laudrup already proves how good he is.
Laudrup had timeless skill and ability. Put him in ANY era and he would comfortably be a top 3 world player. Total legend. Can't believe some 'football fans' haven't heard of him!! Not all top players would translate to any era or even any league - take Carlton Palmer. EVen he would struggle in the Premiership these days ;)
I've known of this guy for awhile but its only today i've actually viewed footage of him playing and from what ive seen this guy has elgance and vision beyond belief. What a player! I didn't believe the quotes and and high praise he recieved but it's clear he was something special.
One of the best players in the world ever. Way ahead of his time, and among the greatest playmakers...perhaps the best ever. Champion with Juventus, Barcelona, Real Madrid and Ajax. How many players can top that....Hmm. Not many.
With his incredible spirit and heart, I would MABY place him in the top 5, greatest of all times. Sure, im influenced because im Danish, and he was the greatest when I was young. But still. I just sense... he really had magic!!!!!
great play and 100% gentleman. I still remember the headline after Denmark demolished Uruguya 6-1 in '86 WC - 'Michael Laudrup - cutting them softly'. It is said that if he is a little selfish he could have scored lots of goad. But he always gave pass to the player in better position.
A truely legendary player. The footballing world has not done him justice going on about Platini and Maradona. This guy is up with them. They say that at 48, he's still the best footballer out of all the players at Swansea.
in Spain, even today, the commentators say "that was a Laudrup pass", indeed he was not shelfish enough, he always gave a perfect ball to another player to score. I remember how I casually met Pep Guardiola many years ago and first thing I told him was "oh my... you play with Michael Laudrup everyday! wow...", he started laughing: touché, hahaha :-)
I see a lot of comments about comparing Laudrup with Zidane and others - who is better etc. Why ? just enjoy Laudrup and leave the other players out. Michael can not be compared with other players - he is unique.
No
No, we compare cause its fun, and we care about them. To me Laudrup is clearly better.
He played for Juve, Lazio, Ajax, Barça, Real.... a journey.
5 times Spain Champion.
Considered best Danish Player Ever in his Homeland.
And i consider him one of the Genius i had the chance to see in action, he was a true creator anything could happen when he was on the field.
one love from France.

He was SO ahead of hes time, this is absolutely amazing.
I think there hasn't been a player that has such a great vision of the game like Laudrup. Laudrup was elegance, vision, class, accurate passes and dribbling. Laudrup best playmaker ever.
He had everything
Zidane and Figo were similar.
So elegant on the ball. One of the greatest attacking midfielders of this generation. Class player.
Unreal. I would rate Laudrup's Vision/Passing/Awareness as the best in history. The passes he is making insane!
He is the best player that excisted in that generation !
One of the most underrated players
Even iniesta got more hyped than luadrup when michael is twice the player
Laudrup is the best 10 in history
Laudrup was so much better than Iniesta in every area, but he played before the internet was universal.
@@janjensen8289 no he wasn't dribbling and ball control they were equal and you could say iniesta was better when it came to passing accuracy and ball retention he was also better
k capo Laudrup wasn't dribbling? Lol. Iniesta better passer? Omg no. Laudrup was also faster.
@@janjensen8289 are you slow I said dribbling and ball control they are around equal and I said iniesta has better passing accuracy which is true I never said he's a better overall passer or has better vision
I have to confess I didn't know he was this good. I watched him when he was 34 and thought why all this people so much whining about him when he is so slow and average. But he was master-class before now I see. Bravo Michael...
Wow,master of passing,wish he was still playing
Michael Laudrup, definitely one of my top five favorite footballers of all time.
Being understated is part of the appeal imo. That's what a gentleman is. Who cares what the majority thinks? Watching these videos is totally mesmerising. And the subtleness is a big reason for it, i think. He does things that are seemingly impossible and makes no fuss about it. Like it's nothing. And you sit back thinking what just happened there.

Exactly!!! if he falls he get up again and even save the situation, No fuzz.
Class!!

Respect to Laudrup. From a portuguese (and Benfica) fan
michael es uno de los mejores jugadores de la historia del futbol
"Pelé was the best in the 60s, Cruyff in the 70s, Maradona in the 80s and Laudrup in the 90s." - Franz Beckenbauer.
"Who is the best player in history? Laudrup." - Andres Iniesta.
"The best player I have ever played with and the 4th best in the history of the game" - Romário.
Bullshit quotes, although I have to agree that Laudrup is a legend.
but that was before the game had seen Cr7, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Messi and properly a couple of other players but I agree Laudrup is a top 25-50 player all time
I think he was an incredible player. But I felt those days having seen Barcelona in the 90s
Figo and Rivaldo were better
@@sugs1191 You are aware of that Figo had Laudrup as his ultimate idol, right?
@@andersnielsen6044 no I am aware that he said Laudrup was the best he ever played against. He did however, say Maradona was the best he had ever seen growing up. And that Eusebio was his idol. Laudrup was an awesome player tho
This guy sis amazing. His killer pass is one of the best iv ever seen. His dribbling was amazing. He reminds me of cazorla
Laudrup's ball control is perfect. How can you be better than perfect ?
Cazorla also considers him an idol and it definitely shows when he plays--he has the quick feet and vision.
a lot of great passing
Fantastic
So so beautiful. If pin point through balls aren't enough, add his mesmerizing dribbling skills!
Great compilation. Michael Laudrup was one of Europe's greats. He is the perfect attacking midfielder I know.
Thank you for the video
In the top 5 best ever
As a swede it takes a lot to admit that my favourite player is the dane Michael Laudrup together with Dragan Stojkovic in his prime!
I know I'm quite off topic but does anyone know of a good place to watch new tv shows online?
@Nico Christopher Flixportal xD
@Casey Myles thank you, I went there and it seems like they got a lot of movies there :) I appreciate it!!
@Nico Christopher you are welcome =)
Hi is there a rivalry between Sweden and Denmark
One of the most elegant and aesthetically pleasing footballers ever. Perhaps only George Best has embodied the Beautiful Game more than Michael laudrup.
He was incredible. I got to see him play when he was with ajax. Genius cerebral and technical players like him, Bergkamp, Zidane and even Riquelme are one of the reasons why this sport is so great.
Best of 90's Laudrup!!!
Same story for George Hagi for example. Totally underrated.
most underrated player in football history... this is FOOTBALL!
I remember him being outstanding for Denmark in the 1986 World Cup. Also remember him and Platini destroying the opposition when they both played for Juventus. One of the greatest footballers in the past 25 years. He also seems to be a really nice guy.
just not when the opposition was Maradona and Napoli, then the tables were turned, but I get what you are saying..
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 ...
When will we get players back who are of the same kind as Laudrup and Van Basten
Underrated genius!
Wow, absolutely AMAZING passing skills
Better than Cruyff (Master of the pace) probably the most pure 10 or 8, mentality of a passer team player and the Best to break a defense in the Last line passing , amazing dribbler, great iq, off the charts vision,
The great Dane. The GREATEST Dane!!! You gotta love it. Football in Denmark has not been the same since the Laudrup brothers called it quits...
Best man ever to play the game ;)
People forget that he helped build Barcelona, everyone takes for granted now that they're a top team that wins constantly, back then it wasn't so. Before him they're usual spot was 2. or 3. after Real Madrid. None of the greates that exist today has ever done that, even Messi as great as he is, was made from something there already were.

Today, it is time to welcome Michael Laudrup, wish him a very happy Birthday and give him a grand welcome to Swansea. We wish him and Swans the best of luck.
Fntastic player
Yes, my favourite bit too. Michael just had the fastest feet.
His legs must been torn to bits after all those 'late' tackles.
That's cos he's so good, it makes the defenders like pedestrian. Btw, Laudrup ALWAYS played at the highest levels, so you're looking at world class defenders he's dribbling against
Oustanding job on this compilation!!! It truely shows his genius.
grande laudrup...potenza velocita classe ed eleganza..tecnicamente era un vero e proprio fuoriclasse@
...He basically only has one move, but he does it so gracefully. It's so beautiful to watch. This video made me happy :)
The magic of this kind of players its very hard to see these days, Maradona, Platini, Laudrup, Bergkamp, Riquelme thanks a lot for your art and the fifferent view of this lovely game, Football!
I love the thought that at least one of the views these Laudrup compilations have is from Thierry Henry ⚽❤️
Wonderful passes !
Why do legends like him get old!!
By far the best football player of the world.

Jose Miranda melhor meia q vi jogar. Melhor q Zidane.
So underrated
Magnificent.
Ive never heard of this guy until recently so I think its safe to say he's underrated.
I came upon this guy by accident while I was watching other soccer videos (older ones in particular). By my own assessment he is definently one of the top 3 players ever. Also by all of those quotes below it just shows it. This man set the bar for players like Xavi/Iniesta in which set the mold they emulated.
beautifully weighted passing. impeccable timing. phenomenal sense.
I love the playmaker role and this man was born for it.
I know people who listen to Mozart/Beethoven when they dont feel well. It soothes them. I just watch Laudrup videos.I only knew him by name 10 years ago. Wish i had watched this guy play live.Sometimes i think he plays like Zidane. Sometimes like Iniesta. Sometimes even like Messi. He's just tremendous.
The man rarely scored himself, but he made sure everyone else on his team did.
True playmaker.
Michael Laudrup was better than Zidane ...
The Magic Johnson Soccer ...
The best pass ...
The king of assists...
*****
Zidane did not play anything at Juventus ....
In the 1998 World Cup only scored twice head... The Laudrup was smarter, had a better dribbling, and won a Confederations Cup in 1995 by Denmark
laudrup was a better as playmaker (maybe the best) but overall i think zidane was better and more complete as player also he wins others cups ( euro 2000, supercoupe italy 98 and ldc 2002)
+EnvyNinja Laudrup was better than Zidane. Pirlo and Riquelme had also master class passing skills, Zidane had competition!
The Arizona Joker
I agree with your comment, mainly on Riquelme ...
Djalminha, Hagi and Ginola were also better than Zidane ...
In the 2000s it was not the injuries, Recoba also would be ...
And michael envented the Roulette not Zidane
this is beautiful!!!!! laudrup was and is still the best player in the world. no doubt about that!
It is a pleasure to watch how he used to play. His skills reminds me of Iniesta, they both have a top-class style that only a few players in history had.

Not all top players would translate to any era or even any league - take Carlton Palmer. EVen he would struggle in the Premiership these days ;)
This is the greatest player in danish football history. This is one of the few things that make a Dane real proud. Real football, miss it.
Best vision and passing skills in crowded areas ever.
Never in the discussion of the very, very best but should be. Pure class
His legends card in fifa only has 87 passing, how does this make sense EA??? :D 99 passing 99 dribbling more accurate
I've known of this guy for awhile but its only today i've actually viewed footage of him playing and from what ive seen this guy has elgance and vision beyond belief. What a player! I didn't believe the quotes and and high praise he recieved but it's clear he was something special.
I never heard about this guy before, what a shame. He is amazing, sure is one of the best. Now hes got a new fan.
Great to hear, and from one of the greatest strikers ever... Forza Romario
Despite his glittering reputation, still criminally underrated.
Well said sir - spot on.
beautiful football , beautiful music, beautiful player, nice job..
A true maestro. What a overview!
One of the best players in the world ever. Way ahead of his time, and among the greatest playmakers...perhaps the best ever.
Champion with Juventus, Barcelona, Real Madrid and Ajax. How many players can top that....Hmm. Not many.
Brilliance
With his incredible spirit and heart, I would MABY place him in the top 5, greatest of all times.
Sure, im influenced because im Danish, and he was the greatest when I was young. But still. I just sense... he really had magic!!!!!
Unos de los mas grandes jugadores de futbol, mostrando como debe darse un pase al vacío, comparable en chile con José Luis Sierra. Grande..
David Silva was inspired by him :D ! Great players both and underrated players both :/
Never saw him play. my god he was class. Amazing turn on the ball.
Laudrup is probably the best playmaker of all time.
fantastic video. and nice music . 5 stars
great play and 100% gentleman. I still remember the headline after Denmark demolished Uruguya 6-1 in '86 WC - 'Michael Laudrup - cutting them softly'. It is said that if he is a little selfish he could have scored lots of goad. But he always gave pass to the player in better position.
Bravo Laudrup👍👍⚽💙
i ve seen a lot of skill videos and compilations, but this fuken really impressed me
beautiful.
Awesome vid man ;)
My favourite player ever! Iniesta's master and idol.
Those skills were amazing and that music made me happy
Ran at defenders like Messi and scored like him
truly great
Never saw the Ajax pass at 3:17 before. Brilliant!
This guy made defenders cry! A True legend! And No one i mean No one can nor will Dribble like him! The great Laudrup! Bendtner learn for him plz!
Romario said: the best midfield whith i play.
He's Spain's current top 3 footballers all rolled into one. Silva, Iniesta, Xavi = Laudrup. Incredible talent.
That man could make any forward a worldclass.
A truely legendary player. The footballing world has not done him justice going on about Platini and Maradona. This guy is up with them. They say that at 48, he's still the best footballer out of all the players at Swansea.
the dummy @ 3.42!
3:42
in Spain, even today, the commentators say "that was a Laudrup pass", indeed he was not shelfish enough, he always gave a perfect ball to another player to score. I remember how I casually met Pep Guardiola many years ago and first thing I told him was "oh my... you play with Michael Laudrup everyday! wow...", he started laughing: touché, hahaha :-)
