  • A big thanks to llaauuddrruupp for allowing me to use his huge archive of videos of Michael, i would recommend visiting his youtube page and checking out his great collection.
    This is my compilation of my favourite player, hope you enjoy it, he isnt as well known as the likes of pele, cruyff or maradona but he is undoubtly one of the greatest players ever to have played the game and should be spoken of in the same way those three players are. A true gent of the game, never saw a red card, a master of the 'blind pass' and his vision was probably the best in the game.

    Probably I watched this maybe more than 10 times. Still priceless, timeless, and splendid. He is indisputably a great master of the killer pass and visionary architect of deep, long passes. A playmaker whose style became a role model and source of inspiration for the likes of Xavi and Iniesta. They concede this in their auto-biographical tales. Love and respect from New York for one of the best playmakers in soccer history: MICHAEL LAUDRUP.

      Zidane was a bit more technical and all-rounded than Laudrup, and had his best performances on the biggest stages, so he definitely got a lot more attention than Laudrup. Especially in the 2000s when more widespread television broadcasting meant more people could watch the World Cup, Zidane put in absolutely incredible performances for France and his story of coming out of retirement to save France was newspaper bait. Laudrup on the other hand would never get that sort of opportunity with Denmark and actually chose not to join the Danish team when they won the Euros, which would’ve given his name much more legendary status.

Heintze and Helveg as left and right back, Gravesen as defensive midfielder cleaning up.

    One of the best testimony of how good and important Laudrup was to football, is to know that nearly all Spanish midfielders who were born between 1980 and 1990, and who later dominated world football 20-30 years later, cite Laudrup as being their role model.

    • @chinmaypednekar501
      @chinmaypednekar501 2 роки тому +2

      This! David Silva and Iniesta are the ones who are totally vocal about him being their idol. But even otherwise, the fact that that WC winning Spanish side under Del Bosque had an absolutely stacked midfield, right from attacking mids to defensive mids with playmaking as a crucial aspect of all of these players' skillset can be attributed to the massive influence the Barca Dream Team probably had on that entire generation, and this man Laudrup was the "brain" of that team. And just thinking about how his style of play was visually appealing while extremely effective at the same time, there's no question he was a massive influence on that generation you mentioned.
      And just to cement this further, he was honoured as the "Best player in Spain in the last 25 years". You don't get that sort of an accolade especially if you are a foreigner if you've not actually left behind an impact of that sort.

    I see that many are saying he was better than Zidane or "Zidane was overrated". In some ways I agree he was better than Zidane. Like his vision was absolutely outstanding. You notice that the best midfielders from these past years have a very similar style to him. Iniesta, Xavi, Modric, etc.. What made Zidane so special though was that not only did he have many of the footballing qualities Laudrup had but he in some was ways he was more of a complete footballer. For instance, Laudrup wasn't known for his heading yet Zidane was amazing at scoring with his head. Does that automatically mean Zidane was better than Laudrup? No. Basically I think we shouldn't say Laudrup was better than Zizou & vice versa. They both had UNIQUE qualities that made them so special for football.

      Zidane is a dog, Laudrup is a cat. Who actually doesnt really like the pro enviroment since it is a dog world.
      But the Cat is by far the most inventive ,intuitive, creative archetype.
      Zidane come from France and Laudrup from Denmark, Yet Laudrup achieved way more than Zidane.
      More goals and more passes that lead to goal. Laudrup was the creature so that is the reason he did not made many goals with his head. He was actually quite good at it.
      Yeah Zidane achieved some success at world cup, in winning them. Yet Laudrup also got to 3 world cups and did also played remarkably well. The Second World cup he got to did not went well. That team got to old and payed that prize. Not Laudrup faults
      Laudrup won the federation cup though. Every club he played on became Champions.
      Laudrup did not need to be a Zidane, it was Zidane that copied Laudrup.
      His skills was so good he did not need to fight on man to man, he played effectively around them.

And I genuinely didn't find a single player with a career full of montage(not even xavi, not even iniesta, not even zidane, none) who had done it. Destroying and nullifying 2 or 3 lines of defense in one through ball (as you mentioned finding that alternative space before a player even makes the run) time and again, only this man had the technique and the unparalleled vision to do it.

      @@tacuazinful that is not what the original commenter meant. In case you want a proper detailed elaboration of what he exactly means, read about or watch some videos about what johan cruyff and also Michel platini have meant when they said it, that "Laudrup didn't give his best". Of course Laudrup got the job done with whatever he gave on the field and i myself rate Laudrup in high regards from all that ive seen of him. But if players like cruyff and platini say the same exact thing about michael, there has to be something they saw him do in the training grounds where they were alongside him, which he refrained from doing in actual matches. Laudrup has also been called a bit too "unselfish" for his and his team's own good, especially in front of goal, which probably if he would have been selfish enough, would have won them more games if he himself had finished a chance instead of making a pass, or maybe he would have the personal accolades he deserved and hence put him in a place among the greats whose names arent forgotten. Maybe he used to do even more mesmerising things in the training sessions and play much better in there than what we saw in the games.

    One thing in this video that really says alot about Laudup's playing style and reputation at the time, is at
    ua-cam.com/video/LUMFlhLWzZ0/v-deo.html There are 3 defender with in 4-10 meters of Laudrup. The cleary try to close down the space
    so he can't make his famous in depth passes. So they hesitate in the pressing and Mister keeps his calm. Executeing a fine fine pass to the back space.
    A pure example of what kind of a player he was. He was the Majestro of the Ochestra named Barcelona. A playmaker so fluent in hes handleing off the ball for that time.
    I would love to see him playing in in football today. He is my childhood hero and he has giving me and so many other danish people so much.

    It all comes down how you define a great player
    You can talk about all the great players that have skills, to master skills.
    But to master the game as well and have a look for it with Effortless and grace.
    I see noone comes close to Laudrup.
    He always seems to KNOW exactly what to do, nothing less nothing more.
    I have rarely seen him being in any doubt, just pure action that succelfull played out.
    THAT is a true master.
    Like The Bruce Lee of Football. Just the GOAT
    The real deal, fuck over hyped goalscorers and biased fans .
    A lot of them that are compared with Laudrup copied him anyway.
    The original always have a bigger understanding of those ways.
    Even Cryuff himself said it. "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.""

    He was focusing on Barcelona, which was also why he was so good at Barcelona. It was total commitment. And when you watched those Barcelona games, you felt a tangible sense of greatness. It was something bigger than football. It was about more than just winning games. They were striving for something beyond football.

Laudrup eres supergenial, gran filtrador de pelota, dueño de un panorama fuera de lo común...La crítica de los grandes estrategas opinan de él que ES EL MAESTRO DE ANDRÉS INHIESTA, del XAVI, CON JUSTA RAZÓN ... Laudrup es un jugador fino, elegante, supercerebral, debería estar considerado entre los 10 mejores jugadores de toda la historia... me hubiese gustado verlo con más tiros de larga distancia al arco, con cabezazos, chalacas y con los dos pies...busquemos el fútbo total, el fútbol con llegada, con gol...
