One of the most technically gifted and elegant players of all time. Before xavi, iniesta and messi, there was deco, eto and ronaldinho. In that era, deco was probably the most underrated central midfielder along with fabregas.
@@eddyededwinnever benched xavi. He was benching Iniesta because Iniesta was still very young and Deco was in his prime. Xavi was already one of Spain best midfielders from 2001/02 season which barça reached the semi final of the UCL.
@@omariblake21what u talking about,??? He sit xavi 3 yaers!!!! Xavi in his prime!(Age)!!! Iniesta was already a young god!!! After deco went way the xavi iniesta combo won...
@@connect_or When where you born ?? Iniesta was not starting over Deco. The Midfield 3 when everyone was fit was Edmilson, Xavi and Deco. Did you not see iniesta being on the bench in the ucl final vs Arsenal?? The same thing the season after? it's in 07/08 that iniesta was a regular and that is only because Deco was partying instead of training.
As a huge British football fan, this guy broke my heart so many times. First for Porto against Celtic in the 03 Uefa Cup final then 04 when Portugal knocked us out and twice in 2006. First when Barcelona beat Arsenal in the CL final and in the World Cup when Portugal knocked us out on pens… again. Great player. Literally terrifying when he was on the ball.
I know Iniesta and Xavi had more stellar career but in terms of talent and technical ability, Deco surpasses them. We didn't see that because he was shadowed by Ronaldinho; this video makes it clear now.
They say you only realise what you were witnessing when it is no more there. Deco was such an elegant midfielder so smooth with the ball @ his feet.He could kill the opposition with just one touch that’s all it took. He was a genius.
O Deco foi dos 7melhores jogadores portugueses da minha memória tinha técnica visão de jogo remate receção de bola eu fui apoiante do Deco na seleção de Portugal e foi dos melhores jogadores da história do Porto ele o euro 2004de topo e 2008 foi um dos obreiros do Barcelona 2 temporadas e o FCPorto e grande craque e de nível mundial
Deco , zidane , Lampard , Gerard , Totti , kaka , Pavel Nedved , Redondo , Michael Ballack , Effenberg , Mathaus , Guti , Stankovic , De La Pena , Mostovoi , Balakov , Geoge Hagi , Shweinsteiger , Maniche , Recoba , Juninho , Ortega , Dino Baggio , Camoranessi , Roberto Baggio , Prosineski , Emerson , Berkamp , seedorf , why would i get impressed or even think iniesta are ' top of the top players 😂😂😂 Only kids wjo starte to watch football since 2006 would get impresse by inista and xavi 😂😂😂 But its understandable .
Love the list i will add the likes of Figo rui costa riquelme rivaldo ortega davids okocha....i put ini and xavi there but not rate them above any on that list
@giwrgospetrou1159 Rivaldo definitely underrated. I wouldn’t say he better than Ronaldo but definitely up there with him. He compensated his lack of explosive power with shooting power….. and yes even scolari said his man of that tournament was rivaldo. But I guess Ronaldo performance despite just recovering from injury overshadowed everything. Btw the addition of Ronaldinho was impeccable
@giwrgospetrou1159 Exactly . Great players dont need other players . They make the team better . Thats why Lampard or Gerard are great . If iniesta and xavi are only good together, they cant be ' a great player ' .
@giwrgospetrou1159 i absolutely understand why you can argue such for rivaldo. He was not glamorous but one of a kind and showed up in big moments just like zizou… won everything there was to win so I don’t get why he not mention more often amongst all time greats
Si quieres hablar de un equipo ladrón y corrupto, habla del Real Madrid, que es dueño y señor de las instituciones de fútbol y el club estado más antiguo del mundo. Robando desde 1902, no hay equipo en Europa al que no hayan atracado.

Fabregas is literally the most overrated clown of Spanish football in the history of recorded mankind 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 are you on drugs?
The only person considered better than Deco at the midfield position back in 04-05 was Zidane. Deco was magic
He was second on ballon d'or 2004
Fábregas has always been extremely rated
Когда Деку с мячом , соперникам лучше стоять и смотреть футбол))
How players of the older generation had a specific playing style, not copying anyone . Absolute gem of a player.
My favourite player as a young kid! The best player to ever play at Porto.. mágico Deco 💙🐉
Oporto joder no Porto..se dice Oporto Oporto
Because of the xavi iniesta combo this guy is forgotten. What a player!
this guy used to bench xavi

That soundtrack makes video waaay cooler❤❤❤
Deco the men who taught Xavi and Iniesta how to pass ❤🇵🇹 n absolute legend
Watching him in the midfield at Barcelona was wonderful he was Ronaldinho’s go to beautiful plays between them 👏
Luis Felipe Scolari, once commented that Deco and fellow Brazilian Ronaldinho could together “make rain fall”
@@dmcomps12 amazing great video 🤌

Poucos vão ver e entender isso, mas é pura verdade
Xavi knows that! And barcelona bench too
One of my favorite players to watch ever.
Gabi and Pedri need to be watching this film .🔥
Especially Gavi.
Man, I miss the classic number 10 player, football in the past, was way better and fun.
Deco, Ronaldinho, Eto'o e Messi, ce tá maluco...
Tenia un guante en el.pie y una vision de juego increíble y super elegante, infravalorado para mi!!
💙❤️
Mágico!!! A fucking magician!!! Xavi and Iniesta benched and learning.
Small boy...very cute...so good your skill deco

@@levantaaaaaaaa no ,portughez
No doubt Deco teached xavi and iniesta.
Xavi was a grown man already... he hano no space in the team...

@giwrgospetrou1159 yea Barca was definitely struggling at the time…. That’s a totally fair argument
cuál es el nombre de la canción?
DECO Inspired INIESTA
Deco walked so Xavi and Iniesta could run.
26 goles en 136 partidos
Nobody cares about your shitty statistics.
O Barcelona tem que agradecer o Corinthians
Time grande não cai

Revelado aonde?? Ata foi no Corinthians
Foi revelado no Porto . No Corinthians ele foi desovado como um João ninguém.

Messi plays like deco wtf

Los negreirazos del vídeo. Fueras de juego, manos, faltas... Sus mejores momentos demuestran que este equipo sólo ganó por el pago a los árbitros.
Ganó porque eran muy buenos.
