Everyone saying that Drogba is being disrespected dont know what they are talking about. Saying Drogba isn't prolific is stating facts, he was never a consistent goal scorer. However when it comes to finals and big games you'll always see him make a difference, hence the legendary status. There's no shame in accepting that his goal ratio was one of the worst among elite strikers. But he made up for it in other areas.
Exactly His hold up play was arguably the best we've seen from a striker in the last 2 decades. His presence was also a thorn in the side of any defence. Goals werent his primary concern.
As a Chelsea fan, I Don't understand how anyone can be mad about what you said of Drogba. You stated the facts of his scoring record and respected that he was much more than a goal scorer. What's to be mad about?
Its because no one that really knows football ever stated that he was prolific, only these video thus, just to have something to talk about lol. Drogba isn't known to be prolific ( although won 3 PL golden boots, not bad eh? ), he's known to be a big game striker, a clutch one. So this video is useless....
He started really young as well, was getting regular game time much earlier than is the norm. That tends to wear out players earlier so what he has done is really impressive. Having said that I think he is starting to tire out. Hope he proves me wrong next season although I see him being a squad player.
@@mojebi3804 apparently even now in endurance training drills he still goes longer than almost the entire rest of the Liverpool squad. He's a total athletic freak.
Drogba tore appart defences with his strength. He didn't always need to score as he had other great goalscorers alongside him such as Lampard. But when Chelsea really needed him he stepped up.
He set the template for strikers like Benezema and Firmino like they said. Very active on the ball and important to the side. Are still famous because they still score consistently and are prolific at times.
So many people aren't actually listening to what you're saying... _They're not disrespecting the players they're just stating facts and saying they're not the same as some people view them!_
Adi Timin which he did, he was top scorer 2 times in his time at Chelsea. Judging his whole stats while using his final season and 2nd stint at at Chelsea where he was already past his prime isn't fair. People don't use the term "prolific" to describe Drogba in the first place, that's where my gripe is with this. How can you make this the thumbnail of your video and make it that high in the list when it's only very few people who don't know much used the term.
Glad to see someone finally giving Roy Keane the appreciation he deserves as a football player. He was a fantastic footballer who kept things simple and effective when on the ball. Of course he is more widely known as a hardman and a relentless leader, but those aren't the only traits he had. Glad that you mentioned Beckham too. Great footballer, but more widely known for his good looks and charisma. I also appreciate that James Milner is getting recognition. Although he has played for all the wrong clubs from a United fan's perspective, I admire him for being a system player wherever he goes without any fuss despite being highly talented. Maybe because of his boring generic face and haircut, people (other than his fans) don't really get just how good he is. You can chuck stats at Drogba, but you will see very few meaningful games that Chelsea won in his time and Drogba not having a direct impact on it. I have been a Man Utd supporter for over 16 years, and the only striker I used to be afraid of in SAF era was Didier Drogba. Now though I even get afraid of fcking Benteke but it’s a complete different case. Also, about Maldini, just because he has a quote doesn’t mean he didn’t tackle. A defender is supposed to tackle. Ideally yes if you need to tackle you are probably already on the backfoot, but that isn’t something to be ashamed of because strikers/wingers are generally faster and more talented than defenders, and it’s a defender's job to bridge that gap. I could say that if I am staying up late to prepare for exams, I have already made a mistake as I haven’t studied all year. A student is ideally supposed to study all year. But I need to stay up late to prepare for exams. Doesn’t mean I don't realize what I should be doing. And also doesn’t mean I will study all year in the future, despite realizing my mistake over and over again.
Maldini averaged .56 tackles per game in his overall career. The 3.8 thing was only for world cups and euros most likely because the dms would made tackles for him in serie a and for Italy he might not have had that luxury or he played a different role
EmojiManVEVO He was very good for Milan and finished with an excellent scoring record. It’s only from around 2012-13 that his injuries became too much to be worth it and he was sold. Never found form again.
@@goyonman9655 He absolutely terrorized Arsenal. An interesting fact is Drogba was supposed to be an Arsenal fan as a kid. Maybe he has a little extra motivation. Say what you want about his goal scoring record but I cant think of a bigger big game player outside of Ronaldo. He single handedly won a CL final as well as being the difference in quite a few fa cup finals. He was undoubtedly world class. The man even stopped a civil war. Legend.
Haha yeah Zidane really wasn't that consistent, you could tell when he was at Real that he didn't really bother with many of the smaller teams, however whenever there's a big game you can always count on him to produce a great performance. He isn't the consistent midfield general that people often think of him, however he is one of the greatest big match players in history. Not to mention that he played the game when technical players were not nearly as protected as today, yet he still humiliated much more physical defenders.
Other than being in real he was a consistent midfielder general in juve and France..... The reason he didn't control small games in real because figo was told to be the main man with r9 or raul in front
No ones saying Marcelo is a bad defender, the thing is that when he attacks (which he does a lot) he leaves space for the opposition to exploit. That’s all
I’m a Chelsea fan But I admit Drogba wasn’t a very consistent goal scorer However he’s a legend because of the number of important goals he’s scored (especially in the UCL final against Bayern) So I’m not triggered by this Drogba is still an absolute legend
Luke Dunford Henry won a World Cup I’m a stellar favourite for the cup team where he did fuck all at the tournament apart from scoring against shit opposition in the early stages. He went missing in both cl finals he was in, with eto’o and messi controlling in his win in Barcelona. The guy was a great scorer but never cut it in the big finals don’t kid yourself. And don’t disrespect the Blackburn and Newcastle of shearers day, they were great teams you mong,that’s why he has multiple high league finishes among the United and arsenal of the time, aswell as titles, golden boots and cup final appearances
Luke Dunford again drogba IS arguably the best big game player of all time and I’m a Liverpool fan. Prolific against the top 6 although not to Agueros levels, showed up in the fa cup and league cup finals that they won scoring or assisting, and then scoring a last minute equaliser and then the winning pen in the UCL final. Only prem player near him in terms of big moments in Steven Gerrard
Zidanes job wasnt to score or assist per say. He controlled the game, the tempo. When nobody knew what to do, they gave the ball to Zidane. He also was a leader, a player who others looked up too. Comparing him to Ozil, who is only good in final third and lives by the stats of his assists, is wrong.
@@ffxiisucks Numbers aren't everything since they don't tell the whole story. Zidane never went ghost mode like Ozil, whenever he played you always knew it since he was dominating the game from start to finish with his playmaking, but the video is misleading as it only looks at contribution based on goals and assists.
@@55TheOracle55 goal and assists contributions literrally show if a player went ghost mode or not lol. Obviously ozil wasn't as good as Zidane but I don't get why people can't admit he's a great player
Keano skill and touch was never in doubt. His long shot and box to box arrival are as equal as scholes. His positioning is above every manchester united players playing midfield.
@@domiNATEgame14 how is that in anyway true. When has Hazard only turned up for half a season. Are you mad. He literaly drags Chelsea in everygame. He has more Motm awards than other players have goals. And gets an who scored rating of at least 7 in nearly every game. He is very consistant. Just because he doesn't score tap ins doesn't make him dissapear
Sam Sam origi is only 23 or 24 and he’s playing for one of the best liverpool teams in premier league history....think there’s a lot of finals left for king divock
@@Josh-ub9eh and you seriously think origi will reach the level of Drogba? 😂 I doubt he even reach the level of lukaku.. I was only talking about his record in finals.. I didn't even bring up the contribution he had in other big games.. Origi only scored one in a big game and that's it...Thanks for the joke bro.. I needed it
Pirlo Is generally hailed as a set piece specialist. Went nearly two years at Milan without scoring a single free kick. His goals and assist tallies were borderline abysmal.
What r u up pirlo is a football legend u r just believing in this myths about him never the less we all know pirlo is the coolest footballer ever even if he does not score goals tho.
Totally agree for milner.Hes most underrated player in history of football.He played every position except goalkeeper in hes career and he did it well.
Triggered fans, here is a revelation. Alright, Drogba was not a Prolific goalscorer, but seriously if you were given the option of having him in your team, you would be whining all day for him!
On highlight reels maybe. I watched hin week in week out and alot of games he made zero impact. Had a 1 great season. Underrated he most definitely wasn't.
Certainly wasn’t criminally underrated people recognised him as the world class player and easily the best captain of his era, but he certainly should be up there with the greatest of all time
As an arsenal fan, I can say that, while he is one of my favorite players at the club, he has become more and more lazy for what we want him to do. Especially emery. Still love him tho and hope we keep him. Just don't like his wages
he literally offers nothing more than assists, barely ever scores and has a 0 defensive output. Not saying that he is a bad player, but he certainly isn't on Zidane's level
Misleading stats, Ozil took all the corners and long FK to earn his assists while Real Madrid Zidane were barely taking the dead ball since he was useful in the air. Zidane in Juve vs Ozil in Arsenal is more comparable because they has the same role on these teams.
@Matthew Baholo Have you ever seen Original Los Galacticos played. They have Figo, Beckham, R. Carlos, and Salgado who were also monster in assists. Beckham and Figo took the credits for dead ball assists. Zidane was playing on the left, so he had to defend when R.Carlos overlaping. I never said Ozil assists were only from dead ball, but they played a very simple football under Mourinho, defending well, counter attack, or scoring from set pieces. Another example is Ozil stats vs Iniesta stats in the same season. Despite his amazing performance stats wise Iniesta looks like average playmaker because Ozil was more superior in assists. 10 years from now, some one will said Iniesta's playmaking skills is just a myth.
@Matthew Baholo i would say that Ozil the better assist man. But playmaking is more than assist bro. Xavi had less assist than Ozil but no people would say Ozil is better than Xavi. Midfield position cannot be judge by stats. Its so much more than that.
About Drogba. He was a crusial player and a target-man. He was also a leader on the pitch that scored in almost every important game!!! But he was affected by Chelsea's inconsistency. Also for a target-man striker Drogba's goal count is great!!! Chelsea was always known for their defence. Their attacking plans were practically 2-3 players+Lampart in the penalty area. They usually kept half-0 . If Drogba was in an attacking team his goal record would be at least double!!!
In that time 0.4 goals per game was fine for a striker. Also now youre factoring in the early years where Drogba wasn't as great as he would turn out to be, and the latter years where he dropped off a bit
- LUHG , the bloke says he outplayed Gerrard in one game, look back and Gerrard always stepped up against United and using one game as an example is ridiculous, Gerrard was pfa team of the year 6 times, more than any other midfielder, Gerrard is the best midfielder and leader the PL has seen
Regarding Marcelo - it is mostly how his attacking play leaves the left side completely open if Real loses the ball and no one comes to fill out the LB space while he gets back from the opposite end of the field, that was the reason for the critique towards his role as LB. It was especially bad during Mourinho's years in Real, where we would either have 0% defense with Marcelo or 0% attack with Coentrao. I would have loved to see him as a left winger instead of LB, he might have been even better if all he had to do was dribble, cross and pass the ball.
Zidane has never been considered great because of his stats or consistency. Zidane is a legend because he was impactful in every team he played with. He made his teammates better. He was a leader. He had a rarely matched first touch and vision (which stats don't show). He won every single title and award (personal and collective) there was for him to win. He was incredibly beautiful, elegant, entertaining to watch. But most importantly, he showed up in big games. In my opinion, it is what makes all the difference between a good and a great player: Everyone remembers his performances against Brazil, his CL goal, his Panenka against Buffon. Hell, I don't even have to tell you which games, which year, which competition, you already know. That's my point. Do you know the percentage of direct corners leading to a goal in football? 1,3%. Do you know the probabilities for the same player to score from 2 direct corners in the same 5 minutes, the winning goals in a World Cup Final, against the best team in the world, in your own country? What? You seem to like statistics, I give you statistics. That is the kind of things you see no average joe even dreaming of doing. That's the difference. Being able to do it, when 1 or 2 fucking billions of human beings are watching. Making the world remember what you did, that day, that no one had ever seen before. That's when you become a legend.
Messi and Ronaldo are so special because they’re not only the two top players in the world, they’re the two top players week in week out. It’s a gift hat we’re able to watch them in the same era.
@@WingoLandmonster Best dribbler in the world,best forward in the world currently best playmaker in the world,dribbles past everything that thinks its a footballer and destroyed legendary players.He has the same amounts of goals than ronaldo btw being 2 years younger,More assists than Ronaldo.Pele was a fraud,Maradona inconsistent with goals,cryuff too smart to play the game and best too drunk to play the game.Anything else?
You misunderstand the point of the video. They say he is a legend of the club (as he should be), but this legend status clouds the view people have of his goal scoring statistics.
If you actually listen to what they said you’d have realised that they made that exact point. Yes, he only got into double figures twice but they acknowledge his big game presence and ability to bring others into the game - somewhat redefining the modern cf role. All it takes is listening
Pelé-considered a farse and a myth told by idiots Titles he won: 3 world cups 2 libertadores 2 club world cups 6 Brazilian leagues 14 local Brazilian tournaments(separated by states) Individual titles: Best player of the century award by IFHHS and FIFA 7 ballon d'or(now this one is harder to understand, basically, at the time, only European players were awarded with the ballon d'or, so, in 2014, France football decided to look back on Pele's carrer with the modern ballon d'or rules and decided to award Pele with 7 ballon d'ors, 1958, 1959, 1960, 1961, 1963, 1965 e 1970)
Drogba scored once every 169 minutes in the prem. That makes him more productive than Rooney (183 min), Torres (173 min), Adebayor (185 min), Les Ferdinand (174 min), Sánchez (191 min) or Defoe (200 min). I don't see your point and by the way, I think Drogba was and still is underrated.
The 0.4 Drogba thing equates to almost a goal every two games. Which is an amazing scoring ratio for any striker, let alone one who tracked back as much as he did.
About Zidane. The thing is, he played his best football at Juventus, NOT Real Madrid. Only in his first 2 seasons (01-02, 02-03) was he really top-class. Zidane liked to play as an attacking midfielder behind 2 strikers. At Real Madrid they eventually played with only 1 striker while losing Makelele, and they also had some ridiculous defenders like Raul Bravo and Pavon. That's why they had this crisis in the mid-2000s.
It's only non United fans that believe that Keane wasn't good... He was the greatest captain and midfielder the club has ever had ( and that includes Robson)...
Stats based mostly there is more to some of the players that only the stats... Like Zidane capacity to deal with pressure on the ball and his game awareness
15:20 here is where I disagree with Zidane's assessment. Today's football awards are always predicated about how many goals someone scored. When Zidane played in the 90s and 2000s, the midfield was asked to create and control the midfield, not score 20-30 goals a season. And Zidane's importance can be matched how France performed with or without him, with him they were near unbeatable from 1998-2001 and one injury to him and France couldn't get past the group stage in the 2002 World Cup, and at 34 he bossed the likes of Spain, Brazil (which is arguably the best individual performance in that tournament) and Portugal in the 2006 World Cup knockout stages and after he retired France had to wait another generation to reach those heights again
It’s difficult to apply stats to football because it’s really difficult to quantify what someone like Xavi or Paul Scholes does statistically, but this was an interesting list.
Just as an example of how important drogba was for chelsea. The same year they won the champions league, they also went and lost the club world cup after drogba left
David Luiz problem is, that he was literally the center piece of the 1-7 collapse in 2014. With a strong leading presence by his side like Thiago Silva (who was suspended after a harsh 2nd yellow for delay of game against Columbia), he was a brilliant aggressive defender (which shouldnt be underrated). But at least 5 years ago, he was a liability without a player like Terry or Thiago Silva by his side. Now of course 5 years is a long time ago... but then again that 1-7 was such a traumatic experience, it only way to repair your image afterwards might be winning a Worldcup... which wont happen for David Luiz, so he will be seen as a liability due to that one game, where he definetly was...
I see Chelsea fans saying efd disrespected Drogba. He was stating the facts that he isn't a goal machine but rather a player who holds up the ball for someone like a lampard. That has brought us players like Firmino, Lacazette. This video just shows how stupid most football fans are. Great work!
Zidane spits out consistency. He carried his team to a World Cup final at 36. They would have won too if it wasnt for the red he got. Zidane wasnt just a goal scorer, it was his playmaking.
Hard to even describe him as a playmaker, he was more of a game gamemaker, he could literally single handedly decide how many goals his team will score.
It's not just facts. Drogba being a prolific goalscorer was never really a thing. So pulling up stats to prove a non existent myth seems like a dick move.
You fucktards must be internet's own boy. Gosh!! Comparing Zidane to ozil in itself is foolish enough, but insinuating that he's better?? By bringing up stats, you put away all the key passes, the defense splitting pass before the "almighty assist". Now by your logic of statistic, is ozil better than iniesta or modric?
I rather have Drogba who won finals rather than Henry who choked on the biggest stage Reminder-Drogba was past his prime and won the UCL in 2012 meanwhile Henry was at the peak of his prime and bottled it in 2006
G R I mean Henry and drogba have the same amount of champions league medals and that’s 1.Henry with Barca and drogba with Chelsea but drogba has had like 1 or 2 20+ goals in a season in his entire career
This has to be the dumbest thing i've ever read in my life. Henry was an infinitely better striker than Drogba in every respect. Let's just compare their Trophies and accomplishments too since you're apparently doing that. Henry: 1x World Cup, 1 Euro's, 1x Champions league, 2x Premier League, 2x La Liga, 3x FA cup, 4x Premier League top scorer, 2x premier league PotY, 1x world cup runner up, 8x (nation) Footballer of the year, 1x confederations cup, 1x club world cup, 1x Ligue 1, 1x copa del rey, 2x supercopa and 5x community shield. Drogba: 6x (nation) footballer of the year, 1x champions league, 4x premier league, 4x FA cup, 2x premier league top scorer, 1x Ligue PotY, 1x champions league runner up, 3x league cup, 1x most assists, 4x community shield.
Without trying to be biased henry was the most talented , Most magical player to play in the premier leauge, & Most consistent performer. But he was not greatest player from the UK (British club), I think consistency is extremely important to be great but the occasion or big games is what takes you to the next level of great , & drogba always turned up in the biggest of games & the biggest of occasion.
People thinking that he disrespected Drogba when he in fact specifically pointed out that he was much more than his goals. You guys are ridiculous. He literally called Drogba a “seminal player”, addressing his impact on the game as a whole.
@@iamjustamazin It is claimed though. Not all the time, but it is. I've heard people claim that the reason Fernando Torres failed at Chelsea was because they didn't change their system from when they had a "more prolific goalscorer in Drogba". All I have is anecdotal evidence unfortunately, and I grant that your experience might be entirely different
Zidane played way deeper in the field in comparison to ozil and ozil is a genius as well. Also zidane played under weak managers that failed to perform well or win trophies each time he was absent. He changed the game whenever he was on the pitch and this is not something that shows up on stats.
11. Cristiano is a relentless goalscorer that don't let a goal opportunity pass. Not taking into account penaty kicks, his goals attempted/scored ratio is below average. For example Benzema that is considered a striker with a bad aim (Probably because his game is more based in opportunity creation and assisting their partners that are in better position than a goalscorer per se) has an average of one goal per 5.15 shots. Cristiano has an average of one goal per 7.36 attempts. Based on his career in Real Madrid. No data from Manchester United although it may be more or less the same cause he used to shoot a lot more outside the box when he was in England.
Jorge Lizaso That’s where stats are misleading. If you watch Benzima misses, they are mostly sitters. While Ronaldo is notorious for taking shots from various angles and distances( as far as 40m from goal) you don’t expect many of those to go in.
@@mkibrahim6 That was Cristiano on Manchester and his first 2 year in Madrid ... Cristiano's last 8 years shots have been more than 95% inside the box. Just watch any compilation.
Jorge Lizaso Nah that’s just false. I watch his full matches not just highlights. He still attempts a lot from far distances, he just doesn’t score them as often as he used to.
Drogba was known as a top striker bc what he did in games. Our team wasn’t focused around just Drogba scoring goals, we had goals coming from all areas of the pitch. In all UEFA and English competitions Drogba averaged a goal or assist .66% per game. Contributing 2 goals over 3 games is phenomenal
Milner actually burst into the scene at Leeds as the youngest ever goalscorer at the time. He then moved to Newcastle where he played consistently and developed his game before moving to Villa. Weird to completely ignore 5/6 years of his career....
Dont agree with marcelo. He always left huge gaps in defense by always being so far forward. And it was only because ramos was so good that he didnt get caught out all the time.
I agree with you up until you say Ramos was so good the thing is Ramos is kinda the same always out of position good when either of them are on the ball defending but off the ball they are not very good.
True! Those days, goals were not the main determinants of great players. I remember those days whenever you were talking about goalscorers, you would think of Shevchenko, Owen, Ronaldo da Lima etc. But when talking about overrall great players, you mentioned Figo, Zidane, Rivaldo, Ronaldo da Lima (the only special case appearing on both sides), and later on Ronaldinho. Greatness of a player back then depended on a lot more than goals. For instance, some of the most memorable Zidane games I have are in his games in Serie A with Juventus, a lot of which ended in goalless draws. Clearly I am a Zidane lover (LOL), but all I am saying is that he did what any player could have done. But he did it in a way that you will remember again and again. That was how players like Zidane, Ronaldinho etc who were just great not because of goals, but just because of how they played!!
That bit about Maldini yeah if he has to make a tackle he has already made a mistake hes not stating he never made alot of tackles he is pointing out being a world class defended you should read the game and cut it out before you need to tackle!
About that Maldine quote.. He said, he’d made a mistake if he had to go DOWN in a GLIDING tackle.... Jezus How can u possibly be THAT wrong, omg! 🤦🏼♂️

Glad to see someone finally giving Roy Keane the appreciation he deserves as a football player. He was a fantastic footballer who kept things simple and effective when on the ball. Of course he is more widely known as a hardman and a relentless leader, but those aren't the only traits he had. Glad that you mentioned Beckham too. Great footballer, but more widely known for his good looks and charisma.
I also appreciate that James Milner is getting recognition. Although he has played for all the wrong clubs from a United fan's perspective, I admire him for being a system player wherever he goes without any fuss despite being highly talented. Maybe because of his boring generic face and haircut, people (other than his fans) don't really get just how good he is.
You can chuck stats at Drogba, but you will see very few meaningful games that Chelsea won in his time and Drogba not having a direct impact on it. I have been a Man Utd supporter for over 16 years, and the only striker I used to be afraid of in SAF era was Didier Drogba. Now though I even get afraid of fcking Benteke but it’s a complete different case.
Also, about Maldini, just because he has a quote doesn’t mean he didn’t tackle. A defender is supposed to tackle. Ideally yes if you need to tackle you are probably already on the backfoot, but that isn’t something to be ashamed of because strikers/wingers are generally faster and more talented than defenders, and it’s a defender's job to bridge that gap. I could say that if I am staying up late to prepare for exams, I have already made a mistake as I haven’t studied all year. A student is ideally supposed to study all year. But I need to stay up late to prepare for exams. Doesn’t mean I don't realize what I should be doing. And also doesn’t mean I will study all year in the future, despite realizing my mistake over and over again.
maldinibwas nothing sided nesta
Maldini averaged .56 tackles per game in his overall career. The 3.8 thing was only for world cups and euros most likely because the dms would made tackles for him in serie a and for Italy he might not have had that luxury or he played a different role
Pato was the perfect person to do this
What u mean
EmojiManVEVO
He was very good for Milan and finished with an excellent scoring record.
It’s only from around 2012-13 that his injuries became too much to be worth it and he was sold. Never found form again.
Umm, i think he was said about others Pato guys.
@EmojiManVEVO Pato is the hosts. Patrick aka Pato
John H I was thinking the same thing I was so confused when people weren’t getting it haha
All I know is when my favored club played Chelsea, I was praying that Drogba wouldn't be there.
My favourite club is arsenal
@@goyonman9655 He absolutely terrorized Arsenal. An interesting fact is Drogba was supposed to be an Arsenal fan as a kid. Maybe he has a little extra motivation. Say what you want about his goal scoring record but I cant think of a bigger big game player outside of Ronaldo. He single handedly won a CL final as well as being the difference in quite a few fa cup finals. He was undoubtedly world class. The man even stopped a civil war. Legend.

Cool Hand Luke facts
Haha yeah Zidane really wasn't that consistent, you could tell when he was at Real that he didn't really bother with many of the smaller teams, however whenever there's a big game you can always count on him to produce a great performance.
He isn't the consistent midfield general that people often think of him, however he is one of the greatest big match players in history. Not to mention that he played the game when technical players were not nearly as protected as today, yet he still humiliated much more physical defenders.
Figo was the most important player of the galacticos RM
Other than being in real he was a consistent midfielder general in juve and France..... The reason he didn't control small games in real because figo was told to be the main man with r9 or raul in front
Zizou goat
@@zochhuanawmazote7263
Not even top 20 all time.
Michael Trumph Zidane is top10 for sure in my personal all time rank
No ones saying Marcelo is a bad defender, the thing is that when he attacks (which he does a lot) he leaves space for the opposition to exploit. That’s all
A great example being Brazil 1 Germany 7 where the first few goals happened because the wing was just German playground
True, but doesn't every full back do the same when they attack?
@@latenightsteppin8660 Im not gonna say that Marcelo isnt a great wing back,but sometimes he needs to pick his runs more carefully.
@@latenightsteppin8660 Not really. Alaba and Robertson are always defensively present.
That's the definition of bad defending tho
I’m a Chelsea fan
But I admit Drogba wasn’t a very consistent goal scorer
However he’s a legend because of the number of important goals he’s scored (especially in the UCL final against Bayern)
So I’m not triggered by this
Drogba is still an absolute legend
@Luke Dunford you just listed (probably not aguero) player's that were never big game players like didier especially Henry
Luke Dunford Henry won a World Cup I’m a stellar favourite for the cup team where he did fuck all at the tournament apart from scoring against shit opposition in the early stages. He went missing in both cl finals he was in, with eto’o and messi controlling in his win in Barcelona. The guy was a great scorer but never cut it in the big finals don’t kid yourself. And don’t disrespect the Blackburn and Newcastle of shearers day, they were great teams you mong,that’s why he has multiple high league finishes among the United and arsenal of the time, aswell as titles, golden boots and cup final appearances
Luke Dunford again drogba IS arguably the best big game player of all time and I’m a Liverpool fan. Prolific against the top 6 although not to Agueros levels, showed up in the fa cup and league cup finals that they won scoring or assisting, and then scoring a last minute equaliser and then the winning pen in the UCL final. Only prem player near him in terms of big moments in Steven Gerrard
So thats the only reason hes a legend then... Hmm
He’s lucky Messi missed the penalty that Drogba gave away
Zidanes job wasnt to score or assist per say. He controlled the game, the tempo. When nobody knew what to do, they gave the ball to Zidane. He also was a leader, a player who others looked up too. Comparing him to Ozil, who is only good in final third and lives by the stats of his assists, is wrong.
"He controlled the game, the tempo. When nobody knew what to do, they gave the ball to zidane".
Absolutely correct..
@@azzaarsyada5104 It's like Barcelona these days, when they dont know what to do they give the ball to Messi hoping he does something with it.
Numbers don't lie.
But that doesn't mean zidane wasn't a pure talent.
@@ffxiisucks Numbers aren't everything since they don't tell the whole story.
Zidane never went ghost mode like Ozil, whenever he played you always knew it since he was dominating the game from start to finish with his playmaking, but the video is misleading as it only looks at contribution based on goals and assists.
@@55TheOracle55 goal and assists contributions literrally show if a player went ghost mode or not lol. Obviously ozil wasn't as good as Zidane but I don't get why people can't admit he's a great player
I'm surprised by the number of comments with regards to the comparison of Zidane and Ozil. Did they not watch Mesut at Madrid?
Or arsenal with sanchez and giroud
Özil was a fucking beast at RM
Keano skill and touch was never in doubt. His long shot and box to box arrival are as equal as scholes. His positioning is above every manchester united players playing midfield.
I'd hardly call Beckham and Keane "inferior"

stating a fact by comparing ozil to zidane. indeed
But we always knew that drogba didn't score that many goals but he did show up when it counted no matter what he is still a legend in our mind
Chelsea fans think Hazard turning up for a half a season every year is enough for legendary status. They overate all their players
@@domiNATEgame14 couldn't agree more
@@domiNATEgame14 how is that in anyway true. When has Hazard only turned up for half a season. Are you mad. He literaly drags Chelsea in everygame. He has more Motm awards than other players have goals. And gets an who scored rating of at least 7 in nearly every game. He is very consistant. Just because he doesn't score tap ins doesn't make him dissapear
I think you should have put Ozil at no.1 and compared him to Zidane
As an arsenal fan, ozil deserve better treatment.
Milner is such a valuable player. Btw, that "James" joke was on point

Good comparison between Zidane & Özil. Sometimes using Mesut Özil as a scapegoat for Arsenal & German National Team is completely unjust.
Pirlo
Is generally hailed as a set piece specialist. Went nearly two years at Milan without scoring a single free kick. His goals and assist tallies were borderline abysmal.
True.
Amazing player with very poor stats.

Totally agree for milner.Hes most underrated player in history of football.He played every position except goalkeeper in hes career and he did it well.
I always said Roy Keane was the engine in the Man Utd midfield as its no coincidence that Utd started dominating in the 90s after they bought him.
I always had a feeling that we overate past players and underate current players based on a few bad games. This video proofs it.
Triggered fans, here is a revelation. Alright, Drogba was not a Prolific goalscorer, but seriously if you were given the option of having him in your team, you would be whining all day for him!
One of the best videos I've watched
Great job pato, loved it
I would have included Jay Jay Okocha. "He was so good they named him twice"... Best most underrated player to have played the game
On highlight reels maybe. I watched hin week in week out and alot of games he made zero impact. Had a 1 great season. Underrated he most definitely wasn't.
Okocha was one of the greatest. Watch him outside of the prem
Jamie Simms one of the great spurs players maybe not in all time
I happy that you state David Luiz deserves more respect. I wouldn't like to see drogba here though
Lukaku has more goals than him mate
This list is fair
I’m a Chelsea fan, but Drogba indeed wasn’t a very consistent goal scorer
But a huge big game player
Dave Pulical how many trophies?
@@JamesHussain82 he said goals tho not trophies

Greatest leader? SOmeone's never heard of Kepa Arrizabalaga.
Certainly wasn’t criminally underrated people recognised him as the world class player and easily the best captain of his era, but he certainly should be up there with the greatest of all time
Almost as good as Fabinho
@@WingoLandmonster Fabinho is to Keane what Rondon is to Inzaghi
“James Milner broke on to the scene at Villa” he is one of the youngest scorers in the premier league with Leeds
apparently he didnt do anything at Newcastle either, not like he spent a few years there developing or anything
Ozil haters really need to hear this.
Idk why Germany and some arsenal fans hate him
As an arsenal fan, I can say that, while he is one of my favorite players at the club, he has become more and more lazy for what we want him to do. Especially emery. Still love him tho and hope we keep him. Just don't like his wages
XIOVI I really just want him to reduce his wages. He just needs to rediscover his love for football again for a few more years.
@@Cr-qc9hr he just has a punchable face thats easy to blame and looks like hes not trying sometimes, thats really it, his play has always been good
he literally offers nothing more than assists, barely ever scores and has a 0 defensive output. Not saying that he is a bad player, but he certainly isn't on Zidane's level
Comparing Zidane and Ozil had me shook... It woke me tf up
Misleading stats, Ozil took all the corners and long FK to earn his assists while Real Madrid Zidane were barely taking the dead ball since he was useful in the air.
Zidane in Juve vs Ozil in Arsenal is more comparable because they has the same role on these teams.
He had fucking Ronaldo upfront, of course those assists racked up.
@Matthew Baholo Have you ever seen Original Los Galacticos played. They have Figo, Beckham, R. Carlos, and Salgado who were also monster in assists. Beckham and Figo took the credits for dead ball assists. Zidane was playing on the left, so he had to defend when R.Carlos overlaping.
I never said Ozil assists were only from dead ball, but they played a very simple football under Mourinho, defending well, counter attack, or scoring from set pieces.
Another example is Ozil stats vs Iniesta stats in the same season. Despite his amazing performance stats wise Iniesta looks like average playmaker because Ozil was more superior in assists.
10 years from now, some one will said Iniesta's playmaking skills is just a myth.
@Matthew Baholo i would say that Ozil the better assist man. But playmaking is more than assist bro. Xavi had less assist than Ozil but no people would say Ozil is better than Xavi.
Midfield position cannot be judge by stats. Its so much more than that.
@Matthew Baholo nobody who knows anything is saying that
Most Chelsea fans don't think Drogba was prolific tbh. He just scored VERY important goals . And almost always scored in Derbys and Finals.
Drogba is a legend, as much respect as possible on his name!!!
About Drogba. He was a crusial player and a target-man. He was also a leader on the pitch that scored in almost every important game!!! But he was affected by Chelsea's inconsistency.
Also for a target-man striker Drogba's goal count is great!!!
Chelsea was always known for their defence. Their attacking plans were practically 2-3 players+Lampart in the penalty area. They usually kept half-0 . If Drogba was in an attacking team his goal record would be at least double!!!
In that time 0.4 goals per game was fine for a striker. Also now youre factoring in the early years where Drogba wasn't as great as he would turn out to be, and the latter years where he dropped off a bit
Rene Treur < this
Perfect
In the middle he had quite a great goal scoring rate.
Getting to 0.5 is very good
Perfectly put. You couldn't say it more clearly
11:52 rip cheick tiote. legend.
Olivier Giroud should definetly be in the next one (hopefully there will be a next one). This video screames Giroud mate!
How come
His first touch ability is soo much underrated.
Roy Keane is the most misunderstood and underrated player in the premier league era. The best midfielder this league has ever seen
- LUHG , the bloke says he outplayed Gerrard in one game, look back and Gerrard always stepped up against United and using one game as an example is ridiculous, Gerrard was pfa team of the year 6 times, more than any other midfielder, Gerrard is the best midfielder and leader the PL has seen
Regarding Marcelo - it is mostly how his attacking play leaves the left side completely open if Real loses the ball and no one comes to fill out the LB space while he gets back from the opposite end of the field, that was the reason for the critique towards his role as LB. It was especially bad during Mourinho's years in Real, where we would either have 0% defense with Marcelo or 0% attack with Coentrao. I would have loved to see him as a left winger instead of LB, he might have been even better if all he had to do was dribble, cross and pass the ball.
Zidane has never been considered great because of his stats or consistency.
Zidane is a legend because he was impactful in every team he played with.
He made his teammates better.
He was a leader.
He had a rarely matched first touch and vision (which stats don't show).
He won every single title and award (personal and collective) there was for him to win.
He was incredibly beautiful, elegant, entertaining to watch.
But most importantly, he showed up in big games.
In my opinion, it is what makes all the difference between a good and a great player:
Everyone remembers his performances against Brazil, his CL goal, his Panenka against Buffon.
Hell, I don't even have to tell you which games, which year, which competition, you already know.
That's my point.
Do you know the percentage of direct corners leading to a goal in football?
1,3%.
Do you know the probabilities for the same player to score from 2 direct corners in the same 5 minutes, the winning goals in a World Cup Final, against the best team in the world, in your own country?
What? You seem to like statistics, I give you statistics.
That is the kind of things you see no average joe even dreaming of doing.
That's the difference.
Being able to do it, when 1 or 2 fucking billions of human beings are watching.
Making the world remember what you did, that day, that no one had ever seen before.
That's when you become a legend.
Well said.👍
Messi and Ronaldo are so special because they’re not only the two top players in the world, they’re the two top players week in week out. It’s a gift hat we’re able to watch them in the same era.

Cameron Norris not disrespectful to state a fact though
You misunderstand the point of the video. They say he is a legend of the club (as he should be), but this legend status clouds the view people have of his goal scoring statistics.
If you actually listen to what they said you’d have realised that they made that exact point. Yes, he only got into double figures twice but they acknowledge his big game presence and ability to bring others into the game - somewhat redefining the modern cf role. All it takes is listening
@@teebedaguy6435 He didn't really redifine the modern CF role though, there were loads of more complete forwards before Drogba, just none at Chelsea.
First you gotta understand that stats always don't prove a player to be more/less capable.

Titles he won:
3 world cups
2 libertadores
2 club world cups
6 Brazilian leagues
14 local Brazilian tournaments(separated by states)

Drogba scored once every 169 minutes in the prem. That makes him more productive than Rooney (183 min), Torres (173 min), Adebayor (185 min), Les Ferdinand (174 min), Sánchez (191 min) or Defoe (200 min). I don't see your point and by the way, I think Drogba was and still is underrated.
Drogba didn’t take pens
The 0.4 Drogba thing equates to almost a goal every two games. Which is an amazing scoring ratio for any striker, let alone one who tracked back as much as he did.
Especially in Mourinhos pack the bus system.and he still managed two golden boots
About Zidane. The thing is, he played his best football at Juventus, NOT Real Madrid. Only in his first 2 seasons (01-02, 02-03) was he really top-class. Zidane liked to play as an attacking midfielder behind 2 strikers. At Real Madrid they eventually played with only 1 striker while losing Makelele, and they also had some ridiculous defenders like Raul Bravo and Pavon. That's why they had this crisis in the mid-2000s.
It's only non United fans that believe that Keane wasn't good... He was the greatest captain and midfielder the club has ever had ( and that includes Robson)...
Not really
Even as a chelsea fan I rate him and don’t know people who don’t
Didier Drogba was so much more than just a goalscorer tho
Which is exactly what's pointed out in the video
Drogba , lampard and terry were the backbone of our team
Yea, he was also a scrub.
Drogba is the type of player who never scored a crazy amount of goals but is always there when u need him, always consistent.
Stats based mostly there is more to some of the players that only the stats... Like Zidane capacity to deal with pressure on the ball and his game awareness
louis B He doesn’t respond too well to verbal pressure at times..
15:20 here is where I disagree with Zidane's assessment. Today's football awards are always predicated about how many goals someone scored. When Zidane played in the 90s and 2000s, the midfield was asked to create and control the midfield, not score 20-30 goals a season. And Zidane's importance can be matched how France performed with or without him, with him they were near unbeatable from 1998-2001 and one injury to him and France couldn't get past the group stage in the 2002 World Cup, and at 34 he bossed the likes of Spain, Brazil (which is arguably the best individual performance in that tournament) and Portugal in the 2006 World Cup knockout stages and after he retired France had to wait another generation to reach those heights again
No one could replace Drogba as a striker at his times in Chelsea, not even Shevchenco, Anelka, Torres.
Not relevant to the points made about him but ok
@@chrislong9823 Drogba won 2 golden boots
It’s difficult to apply stats to football because it’s really difficult to quantify what someone like Xavi or Paul Scholes does statistically, but this was an interesting list.
Just as an example of how important drogba was for chelsea. The same year they won the champions league, they also went and lost the club world cup after drogba left
David Luiz problem is, that he was literally the center piece of the 1-7 collapse in 2014. With a strong leading presence by his side like Thiago Silva (who was suspended after a harsh 2nd yellow for delay of game against Columbia), he was a brilliant aggressive defender (which shouldnt be underrated). But at least 5 years ago, he was a liability without a player like Terry or Thiago Silva by his side.
Now of course 5 years is a long time ago... but then again that 1-7 was such a traumatic experience, it only way to repair your image afterwards might be winning a Worldcup... which wont happen for David Luiz, so he will be seen as a liability due to that one game, where he definetly was...
I see Chelsea fans saying efd disrespected Drogba. He was stating the facts that he isn't a goal machine but rather a player who holds up the ball for someone like a lampard. That has brought us players like Firmino, Lacazette. This video just shows how stupid most football fans are. Great work!
Best analyst football video I jave seen to date, love the style hope you maintain it as a series!
Need this to be a series. One of the best videos so far.
"You might think David Luiz is bad, but look at those trophies"
"You know, despite all those trophies, Zidane lacked consistency."
Pure shit.
How dare you disrespect Drogba like that man is a big game player as a Liverpool fan I respect him
Ain't disrespecting just starting facts , he's a legend nonetheless
Great content. Roy Keane and Walcott surprised me the most.
Wow..Great Video..Keep Making More Of These!! ❤🇳🇵
Zidane spits out consistency. He carried his team to a World Cup final at 36. They would have won too if it wasnt for the red he got. Zidane wasnt just a goal scorer, it was his playmaking.
Hard to even describe him as a playmaker, he was more of a game gamemaker, he could literally single handedly decide how many goals his team will score.
Bold to criticise zidane and drogba like that, but I understand it especially when people are criticising players so easily nowadays
Facts are facts...
Cosmicsword 203 it’s not criticism it’s just facts
It's not just facts. Drogba being a prolific goalscorer was never really a thing. So pulling up stats to prove a non existent myth seems like a dick move.
You fucktards must be internet's own boy. Gosh!! Comparing Zidane to ozil in itself is foolish enough, but insinuating that he's better?? By bringing up stats, you put away all the key passes, the defense splitting pass before the "almighty assist". Now by your logic of statistic, is ozil better than iniesta or modric?
The only fact the Zidane myth proves is that stats aren't everything in football. Zidane is the midfield GOAT. Simple as that.
hold up he almost didn't make it cause of height?! He's 5'10 thats not bad at all shorter players than that have played all of history wtf XD
I am a Chelsea fan and there are no players that I respect more than James Milner. He’s the Swiss Army Knife of football. He plays like 1.25 players.
I rather have Drogba who won finals rather than Henry who choked on the biggest stage
Reminder-Drogba was past his prime and won the UCL in 2012 meanwhile Henry was at the peak of his prime and bottled it in 2006
G R I mean Henry and drogba have the same amount of champions league medals and that’s 1.Henry with Barca and drogba with Chelsea but drogba has had like 1 or 2 20+ goals in a season in his entire career
Henry won everything in the game including a world cup drogba wasnt on the same level as henry loool
Don't you ever compare Henry to drogba again 🙄🙄. Same way y'all Chelsea fans think Hazard is better than Neymar
This has to be the dumbest thing i've ever read in my life. Henry was an infinitely better striker than Drogba in every respect. Let's just compare their Trophies and accomplishments too since you're apparently doing that.
Henry: 1x World Cup, 1 Euro's, 1x Champions league, 2x Premier League, 2x La Liga, 3x FA cup, 4x Premier League top scorer, 2x premier league PotY, 1x world cup runner up, 8x (nation) Footballer of the year, 1x confederations cup, 1x club world cup, 1x Ligue 1, 1x copa del rey, 2x supercopa and 5x community shield.
Drogba: 6x (nation) footballer of the year, 1x champions league, 4x premier league, 4x FA cup, 2x premier league top scorer, 1x Ligue PotY, 1x champions league runner up, 3x league cup, 1x most assists, 4x community shield.
Without trying to be biased henry was the most talented , Most magical player to play in the premier leauge, & Most consistent performer. But he was not greatest player from the UK (British club), I think consistency is extremely important to be great but the occasion or big games is what takes you to the next level of great , & drogba always turned up in the biggest of games & the biggest of occasion.
One of the best 10s you guys have ever made. Would love another one of these, maybe one about this season or another themed one.
Really? I cant remember a single thing they said found it all uninteresting
People thinking that he disrespected Drogba when he in fact specifically pointed out that he was much more than his goals. You guys are ridiculous. He literally called Drogba a “seminal player”, addressing his impact on the game as a whole.
The point is that Drogba was never really considered to be a prolific goalscorer. What's the point of disproving something that was never claimed?
@@iamjustamazin It is claimed though. Not all the time, but it is. I've heard people claim that the reason Fernando Torres failed at Chelsea was because they didn't change their system from when they had a "more prolific goalscorer in Drogba". All I have is anecdotal evidence unfortunately, and I grant that your experience might be entirely different
Zidane played way deeper in the field in comparison to ozil and ozil is a genius as well. Also zidane played under weak managers that failed to perform well or win trophies each time he was absent. He changed the game whenever he was on the pitch and this is not something that shows up on stats.
11. Cristiano is a relentless goalscorer that don't let a goal opportunity pass.
Not taking into account penaty kicks, his goals attempted/scored ratio is below average. For example Benzema that is considered a striker with a bad aim (Probably because his game is more based in opportunity creation and assisting their partners that are in better position than a goalscorer per se) has an average of one goal per 5.15 shots. Cristiano has an average of one goal per 7.36 attempts.
Based on his career in Real Madrid. No data from Manchester United although it may be more or less the same cause he used to shoot a lot more outside the box when he was in England.

That’s where stats are misleading. If you watch Benzima misses, they are mostly sitters. While Ronaldo is notorious for taking shots from various angles and distances( as far as 40m from goal) you don’t expect many of those to go in.
@@mkibrahim6 That was Cristiano on Manchester and his first 2 year in Madrid ... Cristiano's last 8 years shots have been more than 95% inside the box. Just watch any compilation.

Nah that’s just false. I watch his full matches not just highlights. He still attempts a lot from far distances, he just doesn’t score them as often as he used to.
Drogba was known as a top striker bc what he did in games. Our team wasn’t focused around just Drogba scoring goals, we had goals coming from all areas of the pitch. In all UEFA and English competitions Drogba averaged a goal or assist .66% per game. Contributing 2 goals over 3 games is phenomenal
How can u disrespect Drogba like that, always scored in the big games.
Edit: Just needed some click bait I guess.
That’s literally what he said😂, he just said he wasn’t just a #9, he was like a firmino type striker
He always scored in big games, but wasnt prolific, which is what it says in tbe thumbnail
He stated facts droba wasnt much of goal scorer. He was as agood a goal scorer as theo walcott tbh
You got baited.
Trophies don’t make a player
Just cos Luiz has won so much, doesn’t mean he’s a great defender.
Look at him now, he’s an absolute liability
If drogba got to play arsenal more than twice in a season he would've been a european golden boot winner😂
Milner actually burst into the scene at Leeds as the youngest ever goalscorer at the time. He then moved to Newcastle where he played consistently and developed his game before moving to Villa. Weird to completely ignore 5/6 years of his career....
Dont agree with marcelo. He always left huge gaps in defense by always being so far forward. And it was only because ramos was so good that he didnt get caught out all the time.
I agree with you up until you say Ramos was so good the thing is Ramos is kinda the same always out of position good when either of them are on the ball defending but off the ball they are not very good.
True! Those days, goals were not the main determinants of great players. I remember those days whenever you were talking about goalscorers, you would think of Shevchenko, Owen, Ronaldo da Lima etc. But when talking about overrall great players, you mentioned Figo, Zidane, Rivaldo, Ronaldo da Lima (the only special case appearing on both sides), and later on Ronaldinho. Greatness of a player back then depended on a lot more than goals. For instance, some of the most memorable Zidane games I have are in his games in Serie A with Juventus, a lot of which ended in goalless draws. Clearly I am a Zidane lover (LOL), but all I am saying is that he did what any player could have done. But he did it in a way that you will remember again and again. That was how players like Zidane, Ronaldinho etc who were just great not because of goals, but just because of how they played!!
I knew Drogba was overrated for some time. That goal in the CL final blinded Chelsea fans from reality.
Probably some fan who thinks scoring goals is the only way to become a all time great
Loved this video! something different for once and backed up with real facts. Great job
That bit about Maldini yeah if he has to make a tackle he has already made a mistake hes not stating he never made alot of tackles he is pointing out being a world class defended you should read the game and cut it out before you need to tackle!
About that Maldine quote..
He said, he’d made a mistake if he had to go DOWN in a GLIDING tackle.... Jezus
How can u possibly be THAT wrong, omg! 🤦🏼♂️
Amman Abbasi You’re right on that one, mate!
I swear I thought you were going to say Maldini is over rated...
Phewwww
Me too
The maldini one never really dispelled a myth, you only included his international tackles per game and one season when he was 39. Lmao
