The perfect definition of a playmaker. One of the greatest gifts I received in my life as a football fan was watching this dude play professional football between 1992 and 1998. Without a doubt, the most underrated athlete ever and one of the most technically gifted footballers of all time. Magician, absolute genius!

Nothing but Messi and CR7 pr

He is the most underrated player in the world

One of the best playmakers that has ever been. I remember when he was the coach of Getafe, and a journalist asked the teams captain who their best player was, expecting him to name one of the strikers or wingers, the captain said “Laudrup”. Explaining that in training, he was running in circles around players half his age, like it was the easiest thing in the world, and then make a milimeter precise 50 meters pass. He finished by saying that the only reason why he wasnt still playing, was because he didnt wanted to, because he would be still be a regular starter in 15 of the teams playing in the Premiér devision. I think he was around 41 at that time.

He was iniesta and zidane in one player before iniesta and zidane what a legend ❤️❤️🔥🔥. One of the best midfielders ever

@@ironman28yblackox Beckenbauer said Pele was the best player of the 70s, Maradona the best of the 80s, and Laudrup the best player of the 90s.

I agree. His movement and how he shields the ball. Tall attacking midfielders. Similar trajectories.

He signed a three year pre contract with Liverpool. Two weeks later, Liverpool came back with a four year contract, and he turned it down because he wanted an exit clause just in case it didn't work out. This is when Liverpool were dominating the 80s and had a deadly duo in Ian Rush and Kenny Dalglish, so imagine they had added Michael Laudrup to that front line.

Truly artist on the field and creative player of all time. His passing culture , dribbles, finding partner and give them tremendous unexpected passes, always was tfor me such a joy to watch!.. He diid so gracious his job! football is a beautiful because of players like Michael Laudrup.

What a genius ffs

Lower half though, while Messi and Cristiano are upper half, but saying he looks like an average player makes you look like you don't know what you are tallking about. Iniesta, Cruff, and many more rated Laudrup very highly. Guardiola said that while Maradona was the best in the world in the 90ties, Laudrup was the best in the world in the 80ties, and so on. You don't know better than all these legends. I think you want to say that Messi and Ronaldo are better, and I agree with that, but the rest you said doesn't make sense.

Great player, and look at the state of those footballfields, with the sandpatches in front of the goal😂….ah this reminds me of my youth.

Thanks a lot for this video

Fact is he left Barcelona and went to Real Madrid and won them the la liga instantly. Ivan Zamorano who was misfiring and a total flop at Madrid became thr top scorer and won the Pichichi, single handedly and simply because of Laudrup. The man is simply legendary. I read an article where the commentator said that when Laudrup passes the ball from the depths of his imagination both the midfielders and defenders just get stuck as to who is to respond the midfielders or the defenders. He was just immense.

The father of the modern Spanish midfielder. Cruyff being the grandfather 😅

Zidane copied from Laudrup. Xavi, Iniesta, Raul, Guardiola, Zamarano etc.. "My biggest idol is M. Laudrup" M. LAUDRUP still today is considered as the best foreign player ever in La Liga. (Marca) Won against.. Maradona, Cruyff etc. When the players didnt knew what to do with the ball in Barca and Real M.. they gave it to Laudrup.. Strikers on Laudrups team would win the La Liga most scoring striker that year. (5 years in a row) M. LAUDRUP still the only player to have ever won La Liga 5 times in a row.

Bro when people put their greatest ever midfielders they never mention him.

If you keep 100 players before him , he still find the gap to assist his team mates

If Laudrop had to play in one of those Real Madrid legends vs Barca Legends, Which side would he play on?

When you watch his video....pep says is Michael leaving real Madrid.. .he said Michael tought him everything about football.....then started crying.. Nothing else to say really 😒

He wasnt pleased with the situation in Barca because of Cruyff. And after winning La Liga 4 times in a row (with Barca).. he thought R. Madrid was more "hungry" for the title than Barca was. First year with R. Madrid he won La Liga (5 times in a row). Still today the only player to have done so.😊

It definitely helps, but no. He was so panopticon that he would bring players into play who didn't even think he knew where they were, let alone could thread the ball to them. There's clips here where you can see the best attackers in the world wrong footed because all of a sudden they realize that the ball's suddenly dissected a seemingly organized midfield and defence and is at their feet, going at the right speed, in the right direction and they aren't. Such a special player. My number one but if he's outside of anyone's top five they're watching a different game.
