matthew dud you know nothing about football. it's not about flashy moves and unique goals, but it's about being a good team player he is not equal to zidan when it comes to attacking but he's an all-rounder midfielder just like Busquets or Beckenbauer.
Gyo Sei busquets is not all round. No pace Not much attacking. He is a great CDM but nothing more Zidane has won the balon dor and he played really well for france
matthew I think yeah Patrick attacks more than Busquets, but that doesn't mean that Patrick is not a legend he won the 98 world cup alongside zidane. in my opinion Patrick is an all-rounder midfielder that is blessed with athleticism, vision, and a great ball control. not: not winning a balon dor dose not mean that the player is awful. For example, Roberto Carlos did not win the balon dor dose that mean he is suck... no he is a great player.
Very few players are as complete as this guy. Very few. He could pass, dribble, head, tackle, lead, fight, intimidate. The whole package. One of the very few players I saw that could do absolutely everything on a pitch. Mad respect to him.
One of the best french midfielders ever! I loved watching him playing so much. Good in all aspects of the game. He could be a warrior as well as a subtle player. Nice and humble fellow too.
Fuck Liverpool and City. This is the REAL and ONLY Premier League rivalry - Arsenal vs United. I wish both teams can be back on top and fighting each other for titles like the good ol times
He was literally a defender, and striker Midfielder. Do they still manufacture this kind of class. He finished better than most strikers around the world in today's game
He is not a striker midfielder. He is defensive and offensive box to box player. That is why you can see when he takes or intercepts the ball. Arsenal starts to counter attack
@@sovietfartbanger1480 Mate I didn't mean that he was a striker lol... read and understand before you comment, I meant that he could do a bit of everything exceptionally well.. wasn't talking about his position
An absolute monster. Exactly the player Arsenal are missing atm. Also notice how forward, quick and aggressive Arsenals passing was in those days compared to now. None of that slow sideways bullcrap. That Arsenal team were amazing and I think it's shite when people compare the current Man City team to them. Invincibles would smash City pretenders
Alright ..if there is someone now who can come close to this mid defensive capabilities of this beast..then its only kante... I m not saying about offensive awareness as its incomparable as viera is a monster
This guy was a freak of nature, he just had a habit of manhandling the midfield with his elegance and explosiveness. What i loved most about him is that he never hid in games, he was always there!!!
keane was way better , the best utd captain ever for a reason , and very underated , keane was a better passer who rarely gave the ball away , vieira gave the ball away way more often just like the time he passed to giggs.
The invincibles were the best counterattacking team ever to play in the PL. They would be from one box to the other in the flash and you never knew which player was going to make the run, there were just so many - Vieira, Henry, Bergkamp, Freddie, Piers, Lauren, Cole, there was literally no telling who to mark. And in the center of all those counters, Vieira was in the midst of it, to either start it by a tackle, or make a lob assist or to even finish it off himself in most cases. I'm so glad to have been a fan of the Invincibles era of Arsenals. Only wish Vieira had retired at home...
Vieira was not a defensive midfielder in Arsenal. Gilbert was in that position but Patrick was so good a midfielder (both defensive and attacking, 6 and 8 positions) that he rule the entire midfield area leaving the Brazilian unnoticed.
I am an Arsenal fan since the day I started watching football.. I always remembered him as the rock in the midfield.. a hard tackler and the conductor in the midfield.. this video changed my whole perspective about him.. that pace, the strong passes with slight flick of his quick feet came as revelation.. what a player.. and this reminded me of the time when we could actually convert chances (a lot that were not even chances) compared to the Arsenal of the present and the near past.. have not been following football for a few years now (thanks to our poor form and I can't stand seeing losing again), but I have developed respect for Viera all over again..what a player.. miss the team from the last decade
@@hueyfreeman1983 I know cos Xavi would win easily. He always kept the ball, Vieira often lost it at crucial times. A few games vs ManUtd spring to mind straight away lol
@@wward5608 Kante isn't box to box? 😂 Do you even watch football he covers the whole field, His defensive capabilities is insane and offensively he's a good playmaker wtf are you talking about kid 😂
if Keane won a world cup maybe he deserve's to be in the same sentence with this guy.. Patrick Vieira would still be relevant in the modern game.. i hope one day he manages Arsenal FC
I miss those times in the EPL when almost every player fought for his team with pure love and passion for their own club,and the money were always 2nd or 3rd factor,now the payment is the most important factor if the manager or coach wants the players to give their best,i am starting to loose my passion for being a huge football fan and an ex-pro futsal player...and because of the financing as the years pass by the EPL will loose competitiveness...
Roy keane a way better player , you just think keane was bad because of the tackles and his aggression if you watched Roy keane at utd , you wouldn't say he was nothing up to Viera. He was a great passer and had great ball control
The Captain. The Leader. The Legend! We havent replaced him and quite frankly I dont think we will ever replace him unfortunately they just dont make em like that anymore. Now we have Granit fucking Xhaka as our captain smfh
I know great players don't usually make good managers Zidane the exception but look at the runs Viera made his quickness of thought passing awareness of runs teamates were making p how come he hasn't been given a managerial role much better than Gerrard more experience than him too but he gets a top job straight away boy is this world messed up.
After watching this, it is an insult to compare Partey to Viera. Viera was a beast in the middle. His running off the play and delicate through balls are underappreciated.
Most complete midfielder of his generation..can tackle,assist.score, great leader..what a player
Back when Arsenal had men in their midfield.
What an animal this fella was.
Prithvi Prakash now they men, back then they had animals...
Prithvi Prakash from Patrick Vieira to Arron ramsey
Randy Marsh Hell no, from Patrick Vieira, to Lucas Torreira
Randy Marsh Ramsey ain’t bad just always injured
U must be a domestic beast .... idiot ... calling men animals
Pathetic
Perfect defensive Midfielder, perfect attacking Midfielder, perfect captain, equally talented as Zidane, but not much attention given to him
Nick Klause because he isn't
He's not perfect and zidane is miles better
matthew dud you know nothing about football. it's not about flashy moves and unique goals, but it's about being a good team player he is not equal to zidan when it comes to attacking but he's an all-rounder midfielder just like Busquets or Beckenbauer.

Best defensive midfielder of all time - liverpool fan
Alex Harriott Sergio Busquets dear.
CHIRANTAN MANDAL lol you cant compare busquets to Vieira at least not yet.
CHIRANTAN MANDAL jajaja :v
CHIRANTAN MANDAL 😂😂😂
@@chirantanmandal4549 he is waaayy waaayy better than busquets
What a style. Incredibly agressive yet so respectful for teamplay.
He was a force of nature so powerful an the driving force of arsenal's success at that time
Nobody does “defense to attack” like this guy..
Pogba?
@@DBDYAKU ahhahaaha pogba cant defense roblox kid
Very few players are as complete as this guy. Very few. He could pass, dribble, head, tackle, lead, fight, intimidate. The whole package. One of the very few players I saw that could do absolutely everything on a pitch. Mad respect to him.
I almost forgot how good he was. ALMOST
Watching him reminds everything good about arsenal. So much power going forward, defence like a wall. Truly Arsenal were never able to replace him.
Sunnys ..and it all started with wenger as a manager
You never know maybe torreira his kind of same abilities
We came close with diaby
I'm a Liverpool fan, and I respect the guy so much, if we had him in Liverpool, we could've won the league because he is a giant in the premier league
You won now. Congrats from a Chelsea fan
Patrick vieira ThE best midfielder
France had this guy and Makelele with Zidane... Oh and there's Henry in front
and lilian thuran
and petit
and robert pires
And now they have Pogba and Kante with Griezmann and Mbappe . Not bad France keep having amazing talents.
@@bossmanjack5190 yeahhh they did go through a great rebuilding process
One of the best french midfielders ever! I loved watching him playing so much. Good in all aspects of the game. He could be a warrior as well as a subtle player. Nice and humble fellow too.
im a man utd fan , but this arsenal player that i really admire ..
Yeah.. Miss vieira vs keane
de voux Courtois thank you for being honest and Keane was the same hard as nails I am 38 I remember the battles with united
Vieira and Keane is Legend
Fuck Liverpool and City. This is the REAL and ONLY Premier League rivalry - Arsenal vs United. I wish both teams can be back on top and fighting each other for titles like the good ol times
6’4 force of nature. Idk how a player could be so physically gifted yet so technically superior to most other players
Sees bergkamp is trying to pick a pass, and no one is in space so he makes a run for it himself 7:17
shirish khatri , lol, God mode
And that pass Jesus Christ
Those legs, that pass, my god
Its Genius team

Yeah .. probably true .. cause they'll destroy them pussies today.
dont die gladiatorscoops,..#cityzens #itsourtime,...
Favorite Arsenal player ever
1:44 I like how Henry kept doing it even Vieira had gone far away
Trying to not interfere and possibly be flagged for offside.
He should've done the against ireland
Sammy Jones 😂
6:29 . 7:25 . 7:36
An modified have a finish like a fantastic striker
Just WOW
Vieira is a beast
Alright ..if there is someone now who can come close to this mid defensive capabilities of this beast..then its only kante... I m not saying about offensive awareness as its incomparable as viera is a monster
This guy was a freak of nature, he just had a habit of manhandling the midfield with his elegance and explosiveness. What i loved most about him is that he never hid in games, he was always there!!!
andthey say keane is better than him.... vieira was a 100 times more skilled than keane.
prof feathers no comparison
prof feathers - 100% from a Newcastle Fan.
I agree
Comparatively Keane was just a mouthy bastard with little technicality, this man was a midfield phenomenon.
keane was way better , the best utd captain ever for a reason , and very underated , keane was a better passer who rarely gave the ball away , vieira gave the ball away way more often just like the time he passed to giggs.

Fabinho + Kante = Vieira, TOP 10 best midfielders in the history
SkullDesto 24 + pogba also
Beast would love to see him battling against todays top midfielders

7:16. 2 legends at play.
People say Busquets is the only player that made CDM such a crucial position. In my opnion Vieira did it, he had so much football in him.
Jaxie Goon Don't compare an overrated snail to a tank.
That what only Barcelona fan said. If you watch football since 90s Busquet just good Cdm but Veira dominate big area in the pitch himself.
Jaxie Goon Busquets is the only defensive midfield that play like the 90s and 00s
Busquets? Who the f*ck is Busquets lol 🤣
Amazing player. One of my idols. How could you even stop a midfield with Zidane-Vieira-Makelele?
meaturama busquets iniesta xavi would run rings around them
meaturama yes
@@JJ-ni4ul They'd be bullied by the likes of Vieira and Makelele.
@@JJ-ni4ul lol you make good jokes
He was a complete footballer. For me one of the best footballers of all time.
A privilege to watch one of the world's best perfect midfielders growing up
He was so awesome. Perhaps one of the greatest midfielders.
I remember him being the only midfielder to bullying bully Gerrard and Lampard true premier league great and legend
제공권, 맨마킹, 가로채기, 역습, 공격전개능력, 중거리슛, 스피드.. 뭐 하나 빠지는 게 없넼ㅋㅋㅋ역대급 수비형 미드필더다
Beast, he and Yaya the best box to box and for me middlefilders ever.
Miss this guy in the Arsenal Midfield. #BeastMode #realmean
one of the greatest defensive midfielders ever
Kia for sure bro I missed him a lot when he was playing for France 🇫🇷 🙌🏻
He was never afraid to go forward
Just went for it
Complete commitment!!!!!
Watching this after Vieira just spanked Spurs 3-0 😍
What a force in the midfield this man was
What a legend! He has power, skill, and great vision. Miss that Arsenal team!
This guy was / is seriously underrated.
Missed those days when Arsenal were not push overs. They had that beast in the midfield.
One of the best signings we ever made 🔥
can we take a second to appreciate the amount of long distance, outside of the foot passes these guys used to make. You don't see that anymore
Fantastic player my favourite player he had it all.
He is fricking amazing

Arsenal Legend 🔴♥️

che giocatore !!
Keane and viera was two of the greatest midfielder i have ever seen playing english football..
"Simply The Best!" a.k.a. "The GOAT"
I was surprised when i finished the video and saw that you only have 75 subs
I miss those times in the EPL when almost every player fought for his team with pure love and passion for their own club,and the money were always 2nd or 3rd factor,now the payment is the most important factor if the manager or coach wants the players to give their best,i am starting to loose my passion for being a huge football fan and an ex-pro futsal player...and because of the financing as the years pass by the EPL will loose competitiveness...
Uno de los veinte mejores centrales volantes de la historia y él mejor de Francia
That arsenal was a pleasure to watch
Best midfield of the gunner, so far no one can play like him
Vieira was what Pogba is supposed to be
Damn what a beast!!!
the best ever defender mid fielder.
The beast ,the giant the one king to rule
Where are the tackles?
Kanav Dhawan , you can't see them because he wins them too fast for the opponent to react
He dont tackles, he steals...next level stuffs
RzGarage 😂🤙🏼💯 And people say Kante is better
Him and Keane in midfield 💪🏻
UNBELIEVABLE 🙌⚽️💯🔥
Most underrated player in Arsene Wenger era. The only guy to be a part of all their epl winning seasons

Makelele , Vieira, F. Redondo, Scholes and Zidane the bests all time !!!
Lothar Matthäus, Pirlo, Xavi, Iniesta

Can't believe Patrick ended his career without winning a Ballon d' hors!
