@@NewtTehGuy Box to box in your dreams. He was a textbook defensive midfielder. Only because he scored 5 or 6 goals in the league it didn't make him box to box. Mahamadou Diarra, a pure defensive midfielder, scored 6 goals in La Liga 2005-2006 with Real Madrid.
Very good video and very smart selection of players I like dat u put Carlos Dunga in here he is very underrated I dont know who I would choose as my Defensive midfielder in my alltime team, I even like Ronald Koeman and Rafa Marqquez as my Defensive Midfielders
I don't know. Apart from Rijkaard, the Europeans are either not what I would call a DM, or not that great. They are either a bolt, Deschamps, Makelele, where they were just stoppers in front of the CBs, and did very little in the attacking game, or they were box-to-box, Keane, Gattuso, and Viera, where their game was equal parts attack and defense. Viera had Petit alongside him who was more defensive. Gattuso played with a ball player behind him in Pirlo, a ball player ahead of him in Kaka, and then Seedorf. So easily the 4th best midfielder in that diamond. The true examples for me are the South Americans, who dictate the tempo of the game, launching the attacks from deep, while crunching anything that gets in their zone. Redondo, Dunga and Simeone. Rijkard and Matthaus are the best Europeans. They are the ball-playing Liberos who stepped into the midfield rather than the stoppers
The masterclass of a straight defensive 6 was accomplished by Dieter Eilts at the 1996 European Cup' in England....highly recommend and unfortunately never used as example.
Pretty good list, first I heard of Jose Andrade and Tardelli. What about Ruud Gullit, Lothar Matthaus? Maybe some honorable mentions like say a Guardiola, Diego Simeone?
If you know football you know before Busquets cdm was just a position for a tough defender who could provide great long balls, but after his play it changed to being a pivot in controlling the game, toying opponents midfield and keeping the ball, the thing which rodri is being adapted to nowadays. Its not only his play but also his longevity that hardly any cdm has succeeded in doing so.
My coach was just starting to rotate me to cdm from cb. Any tips? I don’t have any problems with tackles, interceptions and passing but reading the opponent’s games and long range shot
Don’t be scared of lunging in to block the ball if you lunge in make sure you can recover fast Don’t be pressured by the defense Look at the opponents head and where they’re looking at That could show you their next move
Vieira was always a better player than Keane, it's just that United usually had Arsenal's number. Keane was mainly a thug with limited ability, really, who could only flourish in a team like United. There's a reason why Vieira was bought young by Milan, and also played for Arsenal, Juve and Inter. Keane could never.
@@Ou_dembele Biased towards? If you are implying against Madrid then fyi I have kept Redondo in the list. As I said this is my choice and there can never be any definitive list regarding the best in each position.
It says the list consists of retired players in the beginning And allthough I agree with you that busquets should be on such a list putting him as the greatest is a reach
Think that busquets against ronaldinho , georghe hagi , stoickhov, laudrup Can you imagine it ? But we can Imagine vieira,redondo against legendary midfielders or no 10 's :)) Who is he Diving person Think or remember if you can redondo,vieira One and one or team play no problem Think their cross,strength, challenge and technique But just little bit think honestly please İf the nationalist director would have give the chance for yaya toure Even Yaya would be better than him But
Imagine finally getting pass Gattuso but next in line is Maldini and Nesta 😅
LOL 😀
What's the name of the song for Roy Keane and Dunga please
@@driftlock98 Roy Keane = Pedro Versus The World
Dunga = Move Out
instaBlaster
Cannavaro too
Edgar Davids-the pitbull- deserves a mention
Great video!! As a cdm myself I loved watching all of the legends in my position!!👏👏
Frank was a great great player. I names my Son after him. Absolute pioneer of the position.
Redondo, the iconic holding midfielder
I agree, im brazilian but i must say that Redondo was a monster.
I think Makelele deserves higher place
Exactly
How do u have a whole role named after you and only in 8th
Vieira king DMF
I mean no that role is literally called after makelele
He was more of a box to box though

Marcel Desailly is Vieira's Papa!!!!!
Of all the defensive midfielders Redondo is the best in this position
Xabi Alonso played a similar style.
Roy Keane, MU greatest captain
Frankie Rijkaard was a machine
Mauro Silva deserve an honorable mention and that's it.
He was better than gattuso, keane and dunga
@@giorgifehmicelik4205not dunga.DUNGA WAS THE GREATEST BRAZIL 🇧🇷 DEFENSIVE MIDFIELDER EVER
Very good video and very smart selection of players I like dat u put Carlos Dunga in here he is very underrated I dont know who I would choose as my Defensive midfielder in my alltime team, I even like Ronald Koeman and Rafa Marqquez as my Defensive Midfielders
Ronald koeman libero
@@asrnacar965 yes he was very good!
Barca, Madrid, Chelsea, Milan, and Bayern all have a good history of strong and durable CDMs
Where will y’all place Casemiro and Busquets on this list of top 10
What do u mean casemiro😅
Wow it's very surprising to see your first player choice
Good combination between classic and modern players
I don't know.

Redondo, Dunga and Simeone.
Rijkard and Matthaus are the best Europeans.
They are the ball-playing Liberos who stepped into the midfield rather than the stoppers
Bern Schuster belongs in that category... Mauro Silva as well!!!
Matthaus plays golf?
MATTHAUS LEFT THE CHAT
No way football in the 20's/30's is up to the standard of the 70's 80's 90's 2000's.
Dino Baggio,Mathias Sammer,Andreas Brehme
Vieira for me all day long. Makelele comes close tho.
Matthaus goat
Vieira 2nd
@@luffy_army both behind busquet
Honourably mention.. Gilberto silver, Pirlo, Ze Roberto, Edmison, Edger Davis
Where is Sergio Busquets??? World Cup, Euro Cup, Champions League… etc and still going strong?
out of this list. he is by far... far... far the best dm ever.
I wanna become a legend like this players when i grow up ❤
The masterclass of a straight defensive 6 was accomplished by Dieter Eilts at the 1996 European Cup' in England....highly recommend and unfortunately never used as example.
Pretty good list, first I heard of Jose Andrade and Tardelli.
What about Ruud Gullit, Lothar Matthaus? Maybe some honorable mentions like say a Guardiola, Diego Simeone?
Ruud Gullit could play anywhere, but I'd say he is more of an attacker. Matthaus could play defensive, but was a box-to-box midfielder.
Daniele De Rossi deserves a Mention
Nope.

Gattuso was a beast
keane was box to box midfielder for most of his career. last 3 to 4 years cdm
Cool
My coach was just starting to rotate me to cdm from cb. Any tips? I don’t have any problems with tackles, interceptions and passing but reading the opponent’s games and long range shot
Don’t be scared of lunging in to block the ball if you lunge in make sure you can recover fast
Don’t be pressured by the defense
Look at the opponents head and where they’re looking at
That could show you their next move
Have to be fearless to block those powerful long shots
imagine having double pivot of rijkaard and guardiola
Pep finna hold him back, he ain't a legendary player 😭
Where does yaya toure stands?
You shouldve also put Xabi Alonso here. In his prime, he was one of the best long passers ever and just one of the best Cdm/Cm football has ever seen
Veirra was beast and hardly to get a player with his qualities
Roy Keane dominated Patrick Vierra in all matches. Captained the best football team of the modern era. There’s no better DM so far.
Well United was never the best football team as they got obliterated like fookin dossiers against Barca…But Roy’s class
Are you mad?!! No way
Stop it. Matthäus is better
Vieira was always a better player than Keane, it's just that United usually had Arsenal's number. Keane was mainly a thug with limited ability, really, who could only flourish in a team like United. There's a reason why Vieira was bought young by Milan, and also played for Arsenal, Juve and Inter. Keane could never.
Xabi Alonso, Busquets, Casmeiro, Pirlo
Straight up legendary
Vieira is without a doubt the best. the most complete of all
Attacking Midfielder for the next video please
I was surprised Pirlo wasn’t on here
In what world is he a defensive midfielder?
Grame Souness? One of the hardest players ever
Honourable Mention
Sergio busquets ?????
Imagine the midfielders as rijkaard vieira makele and cb as nesta maldini rb cafu lb Roberto carlos
Last one 😂😂
Lother matthaus left the chat
I put him as the best box-to-box midfielder in this video:
ruclips.net/video/4x8YuPRHXYg/видео.html
I hope he's getting back to the chat 😃
Deschamps has 2 world cup one as cap another as coach and Pirlo should be there in the list .
Pírlo was a CM
@@Kelvzen Pirlo was a regista (deep lying midfielder in English terms). That role counts as defensive midfielder.
My choices would be:
1.Matthaus
2.Rijkaard
3.Busquets
4.Vieira
5. Neeskens
6. Makelele
7.Roy Keane
8. Tardelli
9. Redondo
10. Gattuso
Casemiro?
The fact that there's no casemiro here proves that your biased
@@Ou_dembele Biased towards? If you are implying against Madrid then fyi I have kept Redondo in the list. As I said this is my choice and there can never be any definitive list regarding the best in each position.
@@sarmishthamajumdar3745 he is kid he thinks casemiro is better than Redondo
@@Ou_dembele casemiro wasn't relevant before 2017🤡🤡 you only a new biased Madrid fan...
Number 10 actually means number 1.... Fernando Redondo icon!!!! Mauro Silva, Paulo Sousa, Kulkov, Boban, Guardiola, Desailly, Rijkaard!!!!!
E. David's should be on the list..
Paulo Sousa i think is the goat
Mathias Sammer and Lothar Matthaus ballon d'or winner's
Great list but no matthaus?
Where is busquets 😂? For me he is the greatest cdm of all time. Criminally underrated
It says the list consists of retired players in the beginning
And allthough I agree with you that busquets should be on such a list putting him as the greatest is a reach
Not even top 3. Great midfielder but Lothar Matthäus, Rijkaard, and Makalele are the best.
@@brrrrrtenjoyer 😂😂😂😂😂😂makelele
i am a barca fan but busi is in top 5
1 rijkkard=mathaus
Think that busquets against ronaldinho , georghe hagi , stoickhov, laudrup
Can you imagine it ?
But we can Imagine vieira,redondo against legendary midfielders or no 10 's
:)) Who is he
Diving person
Think or remember if you can redondo,vieira
One and one or team play no problem
Think their cross,strength, challenge and technique
But just little bit think honestly please
İf the nationalist director would have give the chance for yaya toure
Even Yaya would be better than him
But
Busquet and yaya toureshud be in top three
Toure wasn't really a 6 though
I respect rijkaard but vieira should be in no.1 in this list
No mattaus should be nb 1
@@E.R8121 he was more Box to box tho just like Vieira so this list is a bit of nonsense anyway
Mauro Silva , Tigana , xabi Alonso , Petit , Canbiasso , David's , cocu , van bommel , ince , T.motta , M.senna , Essien , Mikel , edmilson , Gilberto Silva , Emerson , Hamann , Ambrosini, Gerson , Effenberg , Albertini etc name should be mentioned
no Busquets in here is a crime
