I see a lot of comments about comparing Laudrup with Zidane and others - who is better etc. Why ? just enjoy Laudrup and leave the other players out. Michael can not be compared with other players - he is unique.
The magic of this kind of players its very hard to see these days, Maradona, Platini, Laudrup, Bergkamp, Riquelme thanks a lot for your art and the fifferent view of this lovely game, Football!
He played for Juve, Lazio, Ajax, Barça, Real.... a journey. 5 times Spain Champion. Considered best Danish Player Ever in his Homeland. And i consider him one of the Genius i had the chance to see in action, he was a true creator anything could happen when he was on the field. one love from France.
Yes, first I saw him and then was great Zizou, 2 playmakers of the greatest quality whom I've appreciated so much. Every game with them I've payed all my atention what they do on the field: every move, every pass, every glance
Funny though he wasn't really considered the best in his homeland when he actually played, other players always used to beat him for danish player of the year
@@brianlaudrupchannel it was because in that era other danish star players was around like Brian Laudrup who won this award 4 time and Peter Schmeichel and Elkjær and other great players was around in that time frame but Michael Laudrup is considered the greatest danish player ever I know that because I live here and everybody says he is the best we ever had but we had a few great like Schmeichel and Elkjær and his brother Brian but now we have Eriksen who not in the same league as being the greatest but still one of the best we ever had definitely the best we have now with Peter Schmeichel son Kasper Schmeichel
I think there hasn't been a player that has such a great vision of the game like Laudrup. Laudrup was elegance, vision, class, accurate passes and dribbling. Laudrup best playmaker ever.
I have to confess I didn't know he was this good. I watched him when he was 34 and thought why all this people so much whining about him when he is so slow and average. But he was master-class before now I see. Bravo Michael...
The player from whom I've learned to fully apreciate the art of playmaking. Brilliant, intelligent, skilled (though underrated as he was just objective, no move was wasted) and, overall, unselfish. Because of him, later another player who resembled much of him became my idol, Rui Costa. Thanks for the upload. Respect to Laudrup. From a portuguese (and Benfica) fan
Laudrup had timeless skill and ability. Put him in ANY era and he would comfortably be a top 3 world player. Total legend. Can't believe some 'football fans' haven't heard of him!! Not all top players would translate to any era or even any league - take Carlton Palmer. EVen he would struggle in the Premiership these days ;)
"Pelé was the best in the 60s, Cruyff in the 70s, Maradona in the 80s and Laudrup in the 90s." - Franz Beckenbauer. "Who is the best player in history? Laudrup." - Andres Iniesta. "The best player I have ever played with and the 4th best in the history of the game" - Romário.
but that was before the game had seen Cr7, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Messi and properly a couple of other players but I agree Laudrup is a top 25-50 player all time
@@andersnielsen6044 no I am aware that he said Laudrup was the best he ever played against. He did however, say Maradona was the best he had ever seen growing up. And that Eusebio was his idol. Laudrup was an awesome player tho
One of the most elegant and aesthetically pleasing footballers ever. Perhaps only George Best has embodied the Beautiful Game more than Michael laudrup.
@@janjensen8289 no he wasn't dribbling and ball control they were equal and you could say iniesta was better when it came to passing accuracy and ball retention he was also better
@@janjensen8289 are you slow I said dribbling and ball control they are around equal and I said iniesta has better passing accuracy which is true I never said he's a better overall passer or has better vision
Being understated is part of the appeal imo. That's what a gentleman is. Who cares what the majority thinks? Watching these videos is totally mesmerising. And the subtleness is a big reason for it, i think. He does things that are seemingly impossible and makes no fuss about it. Like it's nothing. And you sit back thinking what just happened there. He is more of a magician trying to hide his tricks than he's a flashy entertainer trying to make everything bigger. That's why he's underrated imo.
People forget that he helped build Barcelona, everyone takes for granted now that they're a top team that wins constantly, back then it wasn't so. Before him they're usual spot was 2. or 3. after Real Madrid. None of the greates that exist today has ever done that, even Messi as great as he is, was made from something there already were.
Loved Brendon Rogers and feel very grateful for his contribution to Swansea's success. Wish him the best of luck in Liverpool and always. Today, it is time to welcome Michael Laudrup, wish him a very happy Birthday and give him a grand welcome to Swansea. We wish him and Swans the best of luck.
Michael Laudrup is the football lover's heart, and not for the media and highlights .... A true legend with Respect and nonexistent selfishness but rather a spirit for the team and not himself ...
He was incredible. I got to see him play when he was with ajax. Genius cerebral and technical players like him, Bergkamp, Zidane and even Riquelme are one of the reasons why this sport is so great.
One of the best players in the world ever. Way ahead of his time, and among the greatest playmakers...perhaps the best ever. Champion with Juventus, Barcelona, Real Madrid and Ajax. How many players can top that....Hmm. Not many.
Magnifico video! excelente para ver la majestuosidad de esta leyenda del futbol. Nunca en la historia un jugador tendra la misma clase y vision de juego como Laudrup, q elegancia para jugar
***** Zidane did not play anything at Juventus .... In the 1998 World Cup only scored twice head... The Laudrup was smarter, had a better dribbling, and won a Confederations Cup in 1995 by Denmark
laudrup was a better as playmaker (maybe the best) but overall i think zidane was better and more complete as player also he wins others cups ( euro 2000, supercoupe italy 98 and ldc 2002)
The Arizona Joker I agree with your comment, mainly on Riquelme ... Djalminha, Hagi and Ginola were also better than Zidane ... In the 2000s it was not the injuries, Recoba also would be ...
I remember him being outstanding for Denmark in the 1986 World Cup. Also remember him and Platini destroying the opposition when they both played for Juventus. One of the greatest footballers in the past 25 years. He also seems to be a really nice guy.
i am portuguese and im 15 years old and this is the first time i watch him play, and im just speechless. he has a really nice touch and he is the must elegant player i have ever seen. i alwalys thougt that zidane was the must elegant player but now.... i dont know
I came upon this guy by accident while I was watching other soccer videos (older ones in particular). By my own assessment he is definently one of the top 3 players ever. Also by all of those quotes below it just shows it. This man set the bar for players like Xavi/Iniesta in which set the mold they emulated.
Os jogadores que eu mais admirei dos últimos 50 anos? Pelé, Maradona, Ronaldo, Zidane, Van Basten e Michael Laudrup. Muitas pessoas ficam surpresas quando eu menciono Laudrup, mas ele foi o melhor companheiro que tive em toda a carreira. Ele tem dois pés ótimos e era brilhante nos passes. Para um atacante como eu, jogar ao seu lado era uma benção”. Não é sempre que você ouve um elogio desses de um artilheiro, ainda mais quando vem de Romário. As aspas do Baixinho, em entrevista à World Soccer em 2010, ajudam a dimensionar o quanto jogava Michael Laudrup. Um craque que merece muito mais consideração do que recebe.
I know people who listen to Mozart/Beethoven when they dont feel well. It soothes them. I just watch Laudrup videos.I only knew him by name 10 years ago. Wish i had watched this guy play live.Sometimes i think he plays like Zidane. Sometimes like Iniesta. Sometimes even like Messi. He's just tremendous.
It is a pleasure to watch how he used to play. His skills reminds me of Iniesta, they both have a top-class style that only a few players in history had. As Beckenbauer said: "Pelé was the best in the 60s, Cruyff in the 70s, Maradona in the 80s and Laudrup in the 90s."
With his incredible spirit and heart, I would MABY place him in the top 5, greatest of all times. Sure, im influenced because im Danish, and he was the greatest when I was young. But still. I just sense... he really had magic!!!!!
That's cos he's so good, it makes the defenders like pedestrian. Btw, Laudrup ALWAYS played at the highest levels, so you're looking at world class defenders he's dribbling against
Indeed! my favourite players. Apart from their amazing talent and intelligence, they were also great characters and very underrated! I hope Dennis will become a manager too as i am sure he can become a great one. Laudrup already proves how good he is.
I've known of this guy for awhile but its only today i've actually viewed footage of him playing and from what ive seen this guy has elgance and vision beyond belief. What a player! I didn't believe the quotes and and high praise he recieved but it's clear he was something special.
gooferdusty, I knew who he was. But then I'm a scot. Not acheiving, was that barca and juve jerseys on his back, ajax alone is an honour. His era Denmark, beautiful team.
great play and 100% gentleman. I still remember the headline after Denmark demolished Uruguya 6-1 in '86 WC - 'Michael Laudrup - cutting them softly'. It is said that if he is a little selfish he could have scored lots of goad. But he always gave pass to the player in better position.
Laudrup the only player ever to win the Spanish league five times in a row playing for two different clubs, 4 with Barca and 1 Real !! WOW !! Can't get any better !!! ^_^
I see a lot of comments about comparing Laudrup with Zidane and others - who is better etc. Why ? just enjoy Laudrup and leave the other players out. Michael can not be compared with other players - he is unique.
No
No, we compare cause its fun, and we care about them. To me Laudrup is clearly better.
The magic of this kind of players its very hard to see these days, Maradona, Platini, Laudrup, Bergkamp, Riquelme thanks a lot for your art and the fifferent view of this lovely game, Football!
He played for Juve, Lazio, Ajax, Barça, Real.... a journey.
5 times Spain Champion.
Considered best Danish Player Ever in his Homeland.
And i consider him one of the Genius i had the chance to see in action, he was a true creator anything could happen when he was on the field.

He had everything
Zidane and Figo were similar.
So elegant on the ball. One of the greatest attacking midfielders of this generation. Class player.
Michael Laudrup, definitely one of my top five favorite footballers of all time.
He is the best player that excisted in that generation !
Unreal. I would rate Laudrup's Vision/Passing/Awareness as the best in history. The passes he is making insane!
I have to confess I didn't know he was this good. I watched him when he was 34 and thought why all this people so much whining about him when he is so slow and average. But he was master-class before now I see. Bravo Michael...

Respect to Laudrup. From a portuguese (and Benfica) fan
Great compilation. Michael Laudrup was one of Europe's greats. He is the perfect attacking midfielder I know.
Thank you for the video

Bullshit quotes, although I have to agree that Laudrup is a legend.
but that was before the game had seen Cr7, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Messi and properly a couple of other players but I agree Laudrup is a top 25-50 player all time
I think he was an incredible player. But I felt those days having seen Barcelona in the 90s
Figo and Rivaldo were better
@@sugs1191 You are aware of that Figo had Laudrup as his ultimate idol, right?
@@andersnielsen6044 no I am aware that he said Laudrup was the best he ever played against. He did however, say Maradona was the best he had ever seen growing up. And that Eusebio was his idol. Laudrup was an awesome player tho
One of the most elegant and aesthetically pleasing footballers ever. Perhaps only George Best has embodied the Beautiful Game more than Michael laudrup.
One of the most underrated players
Even iniesta got more hyped than luadrup when michael is twice the player
Laudrup is the best 10 in history
Laudrup was so much better than Iniesta in every area, but he played before the internet was universal.
@@janjensen8289 no he wasn't dribbling and ball control they were equal and you could say iniesta was better when it came to passing accuracy and ball retention he was also better
k capo Laudrup wasn't dribbling? Lol. Iniesta better passer? Omg no. Laudrup was also faster.
@@janjensen8289 are you slow I said dribbling and ball control they are around equal and I said iniesta has better passing accuracy which is true I never said he's a better overall passer or has better vision
michael es uno de los mejores jugadores de la historia del futbol
This guy sis amazing. His killer pass is one of the best iv ever seen. His dribbling was amazing. He reminds me of cazorla

Exactly!!! if he falls he get up again and even save the situation, No fuzz.
Class!!
As a swede it takes a lot to admit that my favourite player is the dane Michael Laudrup together with Dragan Stojkovic in his prime!
I know I'm quite off topic but does anyone know of a good place to watch new tv shows online?
@Nico Christopher Flixportal xD
@Casey Myles thank you, I went there and it seems like they got a lot of movies there :) I appreciate it!!
@Nico Christopher you are welcome =)
Hi is there a rivalry between Sweden and Denmark
People forget that he helped build Barcelona, everyone takes for granted now that they're a top team that wins constantly, back then it wasn't so. Before him they're usual spot was 2. or 3. after Real Madrid. None of the greates that exist today has ever done that, even Messi as great as he is, was made from something there already were.
Loved Brendon Rogers and feel very grateful for his contribution to Swansea's success. Wish him the best of luck in Liverpool and always.
Today, it is time to welcome Michael Laudrup, wish him a very happy Birthday and give him a grand welcome to Swansea. We wish him and Swans the best of luck.
Wow,master of passing,wish he was still playing
Laudrup is probably the best playmaker of all time.
Michael Laudrup is the football lover's heart, and not for the media and highlights .... A true legend with Respect and nonexistent selfishness but rather a spirit for the team and not himself ...
Why do legends like him get old!!
By far the best football player of the world.
So so beautiful. If pin point through balls aren't enough, add his mesmerizing dribbling skills!
most underrated player in football history... this is FOOTBALL!
Oustanding job on this compilation!!! It truely shows his genius.
Best man ever to play the game ;)
He was incredible. I got to see him play when he was with ajax. Genius cerebral and technical players like him, Bergkamp, Zidane and even Riquelme are one of the reasons why this sport is so great.
Never in the discussion of the very, very best but should be. Pure class
One of the best players in the world ever. Way ahead of his time, and among the greatest playmakers...perhaps the best ever.
Champion with Juventus, Barcelona, Real Madrid and Ajax. How many players can top that....Hmm. Not many.
Laudrup's ball control is perfect. How can you be better than perfect ?
Best of 90's Laudrup!!!
Cazorla also considers him an idol and it definitely shows when he plays--he has the quick feet and vision.
a lot of great passing
This is the greatest player in danish football history. This is one of the few things that make a Dane real proud. Real football, miss it.
Magnifico video! excelente para ver la majestuosidad de esta leyenda del futbol. Nunca en la historia un jugador tendra la misma clase y vision de juego como Laudrup, q elegancia para jugar
In the top 5 best ever
Fantastic
The great Dane. The GREATEST Dane!!! You gotta love it. Football in Denmark has not been the same since the Laudrup brothers called it quits...
...He basically only has one move, but he does it so gracefully. It's so beautiful to watch. This video made me happy :)
this is beautiful!!!!! laudrup was and is still the best player in the world. no doubt about that!
Same story for George Hagi for example. Totally underrated.
Michael Laudrup was better than Zidane ...
The Magic Johnson Soccer ...
The best pass ...
The king of assists...
*****
Zidane did not play anything at Juventus ....
In the 1998 World Cup only scored twice head... The Laudrup was smarter, had a better dribbling, and won a Confederations Cup in 1995 by Denmark
laudrup was a better as playmaker (maybe the best) but overall i think zidane was better and more complete as player also he wins others cups ( euro 2000, supercoupe italy 98 and ldc 2002)
+EnvyNinja Laudrup was better than Zidane. Pirlo and Riquelme had also master class passing skills, Zidane had competition!
The Arizona Joker
I agree with your comment, mainly on Riquelme ...
Djalminha, Hagi and Ginola were also better than Zidane ...
In the 2000s it was not the injuries, Recoba also would be ...
And michael envented the Roulette not Zidane
Wow, absolutely AMAZING passing skills
I remember him being outstanding for Denmark in the 1986 World Cup. Also remember him and Platini destroying the opposition when they both played for Juventus. One of the greatest footballers in the past 25 years. He also seems to be a really nice guy.
just not when the opposition was Maradona and Napoli, then the tables were turned, but I get what you are saying..
When will we get players back who are of the same kind as Laudrup and Van Basten
i am portuguese and im 15 years old and this is the first time i watch him play, and im just speechless. he has a really nice touch and he is the must elegant player i have ever seen. i alwalys thougt that zidane was the must elegant player but now.... i dont know
det videoen virkelig viser er atg michael laudrup var verdens bedste playmaker!!!
beautifully weighted passing. impeccable timing. phenomenal sense.
Wonderful passes !

Jose Miranda melhor meia q vi jogar. Melhor q Zidane.
beautiful football , beautiful music, beautiful player, nice job..
Great to hear, and from one of the greatest strikers ever... Forza Romario
Ive never heard of this guy until recently so I think its safe to say he's underrated.
I know people who listen to Mozart/Beethoven when they dont feel well. It soothes them. I just watch Laudrup videos.I only knew him by name 10 years ago. Wish i had watched this guy play live.Sometimes i think he plays like Zidane. Sometimes like Iniesta. Sometimes even like Messi. He's just tremendous.
The man rarely scored himself, but he made sure everyone else on his team did.
True playmaker.
truly great
It is a pleasure to watch how he used to play. His skills reminds me of Iniesta, they both have a top-class style that only a few players in history had.

beautiful.
His legends card in fifa only has 87 passing, how does this make sense EA??? :D 99 passing 99 dribbling more accurate
I love the playmaker role and this man was born for it.
David Silva was inspired by him :D ! Great players both and underrated players both :/
Despite his glittering reputation, still criminally underrated.
I love the thought that at least one of the views these Laudrup compilations have is from Thierry Henry ⚽❤️
Michael Laudrup is the best
Indeed! my favourite players. Apart from their amazing talent and intelligence, they were also great characters and very underrated! I hope Dennis will become a manager too as i am sure he can become a great one. Laudrup already proves how good he is.
i've watched Dnimark playing in the late 80's early 90's purelly because they had this fantastic player on!!!!!
I've known of this guy for awhile but its only today i've actually viewed footage of him playing and from what ive seen this guy has elgance and vision beyond belief. What a player! I didn't believe the quotes and and high praise he recieved but it's clear he was something special.
Yes, my favourite bit too. Michael just had the fastest feet.
His legs must been torn to bits after all those 'late' tackles.
Unos de los mas grandes jugadores de futbol, mostrando como debe darse un pase al vacío, comparable en chile con José Luis Sierra. Grande..
i ve seen a lot of skill videos and compilations, but this fuken really impressed me
I never heard about this guy before, what a shame. He is amazing, sure is one of the best. Now hes got a new fan.
Magnificent.
Underrated as a player and now as a Manager.
Never saw him play. my god he was class. Amazing turn on the ball.
gooferdusty, I knew who he was. But then I'm a scot. Not acheiving, was that barca and juve jerseys on his back, ajax alone is an honour. His era Denmark, beautiful team.
This guy made defenders cry! A True legend! And No one i mean No one can nor will Dribble like him! The great Laudrup! Bendtner learn for him plz!
My favourite player ever! Iniesta's master and idol.
great play and 100% gentleman. I still remember the headline after Denmark demolished Uruguya 6-1 in '86 WC - 'Michael Laudrup - cutting them softly'. It is said that if he is a little selfish he could have scored lots of goad. But he always gave pass to the player in better position.
fantastic video. and nice music . 5 stars
A true maestro. What a overview!
So underrated
MOST UNDERRATED PLAYER IN FOOTBALL HISTORY.... FOR ME
THIS IS GUY IS FOOTBALL PERSONIFIED.... ;D
Those skills were amazing and that music made me happy
Ran at defenders like Messi and scored like him
Best vision and passing skills in crowded areas ever.
Fntastic player
@gianibertetti fair statement. I think Zidane is my favorite player but I still am amazed everytime i watch this guy play. what a genius.
Laudrup the only player ever to win the Spanish league five times in a row playing for two different clubs, 4 with Barca and 1 Real !! WOW !! Can't get any better !!! ^_^
Andres Iniesta reminds me of this legend
His inspiration
Well said sir - spot on.
He destroyed France in the 80' and 90' !
He's Spain's current top 3 footballers all rolled into one. Silva, Iniesta, Xavi = Laudrup. Incredible talent.
