This is the man whom Pep Guardiola greatly admired and to whom Xavi and Iniesta turned for inspiration to shape their football identities as midfielders before their careers even started. One of the most underrated players of his era and his generation. Selected as the best foreign player in La Liga 1974-1999 (Before Messi/Ronaldo era), Michael Laudrup was a maestro in the midfield. What a vision, graceful play, and passes! You graced the game so beautifully. We'll never forget you. Thank you for everything you gave to soccer! Regards from the USA.
pass at 1:49 is out of this world. The way it floated by two opposing players head to land exactly on the intended target exactly at the perfect time is just sheer art and brilliance with a little luck of course.
I'm happy for Messi to be up there with the finest of all time (not saying he is) but there are a host of players from this era who the stars of today just would not live with, this guy being one of them. Without trying too hard, Baggio, Bergkamp, Ronaldo, Zidane obviously as well, although not a favourite of mine. There are more.
Messi is slightly better than mediocre at passing at best. Each of his "passes" consist of a semi- undetected, unmarked yet obvious run behind a defender who can't even tie his shoes.
I knew who Laudrup was but never got a chance to see him play on TV as I live in the UK. Football365 did an article on him recently and having watched a 1:h 20min video on RUclips I think fuck Maradona, fuck whoever else in the late 80's - 90's. Laudrup was an absolute fucking genius. Some of his through balls I've watched I couldn't even see coming having re-watched the video four or five times and don't even start me on his no look passes which were sublime. And I've not even mentioned his dribbling skills or goals. All I can say is the Spanish football watching public were truely lucky to have been able to watch his magic and genius. How he never won the European or World footballer of the year is a travesty and as Guardiola said, "It proves they [those award] aren't worth very much". High praise indeed. Laurdup.....we salute you, Sir!
Indeed, we were very lucky in Spain to watch the wonderful Laudrup for seven years, five in Barcelona and two for Real Madrid. He is one of the 25 best players in the history of the Liga, that´s a fact. But, please, don`t exagerate comparing him with Maradona. Diego was able to do the same things than Michael and, besides, Diego was the brain of the teams in which he played. Maradona was an agressor (dribbling & passing), like Laudrup, and a general too. And Diego was able to score more goals every season than Laudrup. This was the weak point of the danish, who scored few goals every season, and this was severely criticized by his coach Johan Cruyff in more than one ocassion. If you want to compare Laudrup with some players, do it with those who did similar things than the danish: agression, dribbling and passing: Luis Figo, Ryan Giggs and Ronaldinho, for instance, who were superb as well in that area. The Word Footballer Award didn´t exist when Michael was at his best. And he did not win the Ballon d'Or in 1992, (Laudrup and Van Basten were the best players at the time) because in those years all the awards were given to Calcio players, as if the other leagues didn´t exist. That´s why he was voted 8th that year (!!!)....and Guardiola said than awards like that prove nothing
@@carlossimancas9867 not sure anymore i think Laudrup was more great than Maradona. First Laudrup was more effective, Maradona got fauled a Lot, Laudrup played around them, had the skills to do that, Maradona was fast so was Laudrup. Maradona could do tricks and cheat, Laudrup did not need to cheat. Overall Laudrup got more out of his Play than Maradona. Maradona was just more hyped in the Media than Laudrup
@@FOA100X Well, I am very strict in rating players in football in general. Although I know that it's an unfair comparison between midfielders because even between them you have different types of players. A regista, a trequarista, box to box midfielder, an anchor etc. So I have prepared my rankings based on the following points: 1) Their prime 2) Their overall contribution to the team and to the game in general. 3) Their versatility and the level of their team vs their opponents 4) Their achievements So they are as follows: 1) Diego Maradona 2)Zico 3) Michael Laudrup 4) Michel Platini and Gunter Netzer 5)Lothar Matthaus 6) Alfredo De Stefano 7) Neils Liedholm and Rivelino (tie) 8) Paolo Falcao and gerson(tie) 9)Luis Suarez Miramontes and Sir Bobby Charlton 10)Zinedine Zidane and Giovanni Rivera 11)Xavi Hernandez 12) Ronaldinho Gaucho and Stanley Matthews 13) Roberto Baggio and Raymond Kopa 14) Andres Iniesta and John Neeskens 15) Rivaldo( He's not exactly your regular midfielder but he also played as an attacking midfielder). You can put him below though. 16) Ruud Gullit 17) Frank Rijkaard 18) Clarence Seedorf 19) Claude Makelele 20) Luka Modric
If there was another phrase for "the beautiful game" it would be *"Laudrup."* Maybe the only player who wanted to turn football into art and why both Platini and Cruyff said his only flaw was that he was not selfish enough. But he made that up in spades by giving us some of the most magical moments that football has ever. BTW, I was born in the same Hospital that he was. Small world.
Just to show how familiar he is with the ball. 8:47 Take the ball down, take the bunching off with his knee, shift the ball away from the opponent and make the pass with his heal. Everything performed meaningful perfection for 3 seconds in totally awareness and control toward a teammate on his back.
Tbonyandsteak Also, notice how the referee just behind him, throws his hands up in disbelief at that little skill n pass. He could be doing so for some other reason, yes. But I'd like to think it was that skill from Michael that made him do that🤩
Laudrup is an underrated player because he never got the popularity in media. But his teammates contemporaries and even many of the mordern players consider him one of the greatest of all time. It's a shame that most of our generation don't even know his name because he was a Danish, a small country. Think, if Maradona or Messi would have born in Denmark then what???
Underrated for who??????? For british media? For british fans? In Spain all the fans remember him perfectly, and we all know what a wonderful player he was, no matter if he was danish, polish or brazilian. One of the good things of internet, youtube and this global world is that some football fans are begining to discover that the Premiership is not the centre of the Universe. Laudrup has been one of the 25 best players in the history of spanish liga. No question about that
Carlos Simancas those were the days when footballers who were star players just for big clubs never really got that much popular. As, compared to today, there was pretty much no viewership of league football in foreign countries for the most part and the only competition whole world actually watched was World Cup. So, players who didnt play for big nations rarely ever got more than little famous and that too only in the countries they played in. And it is quite evident also. No one remembers Maradona or Pele for their club football careers but their careers with their national team. Even, Cruyff is remembered more for his national career(being from a great football playing nation) . And only few players from small nations got some limelight because of their leading qualities where Laudrup clearly lacked. As great as player as he was, he had no presence on field or in general, just a simple general guy. And only guys I remember from small and not so competitive country who got extreme popularity was Gearge Best, who arguably was one of the best talents ever, perhaps wasted anyway.
@@muratisik6956 Di Stéfano and Messi were the absolutely best. Then the others come, depending on your taste: Laudrup, Schuster, Hugo Sánchez, Cristiano Ronaldo, Figo, Puskas, Amancio, Gento, Pirri, Hierro, Ramos, Iniesta, Xavi, Iríbar, Zarra.... There are many of them who where really good, but yes, Laudrup was between the most selected
No-one has ever passed like LAUDRUP! Best playmaking midfielder EVER. You can't compare Messi, Maradonna, Pele, Ronaldinho, strikers, wingers, attackers with Laudrup. Laudrup needs these players to finish his passes. But Laudrup is the best I have seen.
Ronaldinho, Figo and Giggs passed and dribbled as well as Laudrup. Of course they were different, but equaly effective when they had the ball. And Laudrup was not a playmaker. Zidane, Schuster, Xavi, Iniesta were playmakers, not Laudrup
Carlos Simancas "laudrup was not a playmaker" are you high? laudrup is the definition of a playermaker and probably knew the game better than anyone. His passes are far superior and effective in comparison to ronaldinho zidane xavi or iniesta. Even iniesta says Laudrup is the best ever and he played with xavi and ronaldinho and also against zidane. Guardiola also said so who played alongside laudrup in barcelona and who cried when he left. Guardiola says everything he knows about football comes from Laudrup. laudrup not a playmaker lol. haven't laughed like that in a while.
once danimark coach said : Michael is the only player in the world who dosent have to look for the strikers he just knows where they are. and they always get the ball right at theyr feet....
Greatest Passer of all time Xavi+ Iniesta + 20% more = Laudrup, Laudrup was and still is an outstanding player :P I saw him play denmark vs some other team Oldboys where he owned all of them, Legend forever, you just cant hate this guy.
What impresses me the most is his level of anticipation of everything around him which enables him to create so exquisitely. Only zidane and maradona, and maybe zico catch match this.
And yet they never did, for real, Laudrups stats speaks for it self. +++ those passes that did not lead to goal..Those you mentioning are waaay behind Laudrup in stats.
@und34dcow: WOW! I had no idea! Especially the first kit he ever bought!?...Thank you for the info! I had my suspisions seeing Iniesta's ''La Croqueta'' footballing move being very similar to Laudrups back in the day. That is so cool that he idolozed Laudrup.....and what a player Iniesta has become. Awesome. Iniesta achieved a World Cup, though you are right - Laudrup's poetry on the pitch and vision is still a marvel to see.
One of the best, not the only one: Cruyff, Kempes, Quini, Maradona, Schuster, Hugo Sánchez, Romario, Figo, Ronaldo or Rivaldo can also aspire to that consideration
Looking at the comments. Finally, Michael is getting the accolade's from the general global football audiences, thanks to brilliant youtube content creators like llaauuddrruupp, he should have gotten during the 1990s. The mass football media hyped Romario, Baggio, Ronaldo, Zidane, back then because, they played for big football nations that made dents in FIFA's world cup's money machine, which Laudrup couldn't do, coming from a small nation like Denmark. But he was a technically, more all round complete player than those players & in the word's of his manager at Barcelona & a great skilled, all time great player himself, Johan Cruyff. He said. " Michael plays like a dream". Couldn't say it better myself.
Yes you're right but he played some fantastic football at the world cup in mexico in 1986 when denmark met Uruguay and beat them 6-1 you'll never forget moments like that. look at his goal to 3-1 pure genius and the world cup in 1998 in france when denmark met nigeria beating them 4-1 michaels pass to ebbe sand when he scored unforgettable
TIme when football had passion, when it had spirit. Talent everywhere, players dying for the badge. Real men not crybabies playing football. Those were the days. God! Nostalgia's a b!t-c-h. Wish I could go back to those days of my life.
@IIIL47v: Great point! The way he ghosts past defenders was amazing. The original Iniesta. It wouldn't surprise me if Iniesta watched a couple of Laudrup's videos from the Barca archive :)
Yes, Iniesta did copy Laudrup and learned alot from him (Laudrup). He was Iniesta's hero and Iniesta even said that Laudrup was the best player in history
Que jugadorazo, por Dios!!! Y cuanto lo disfrutamos en Barcelona. Jugadores como Matthaus, Van Basten, Gullit, Baggio o Stoichkov ganaron balones de oro siendo todos ellos muy buenos pero no mejores que Michael Laudrup
I hate to disagree, but I have to. They both have beyond great passing and vision range. De Bruyne is a better athlete, most modern footballers are, but Michael was a magician with graceful through balls and elegant lob passes. If you watch the crossing they are looping as was the style back then. De Bruyne is more of a surgeon, all his passes are hit with speed and precision, pin point and laser focused. His crosses are swerving and fast and when he runs with the ball it’s fast and determined, not that fancy elegance and trickery of Michael Laudrup. Laudrup is more Iniesta, or you could say he’s very influenced by Laudrup. I also think there are a few parallels with Zinedine Zidane. All though was more aggressive and physical.
Hello friend, can you upload the video of part 2 ?? I had it years ago but it got lost and now I can not find it in its list of videos. Thank you very much and Enjoy Laudrup
@alexhansen1 Totti is the only passer I would put anywhere near Laudrup. People talk of Zidane yet in his entire international career he only created one assist for their all time highest goal scorer despite playing almost all his career with him and that was from a set piece!! If Laudrup played today he would be very famous. He is unlucky that like Romário, Savicevic, Bebeto, Matthaus and Preud'homme, he played his best years before it was easy to watch foreign leagues.
He played at Juve , Barcelona and real Madrid when it was almost impossible to even played at only two foreign players were allowed in all Europe , grandisimo Laudrup.
i don't see any reason to say that Zidane was a better playmaker than Michael Laudrup. he could do anything Zidane did with the ball and played more team orientated with less show elements than Zidane.
Nunca vi um cara com tanta visao de jogo assim e precisao no passe, lembra muito de bruyne xavi iniesta porem muito mais a frente no seu pensamento e visao
Am i the only one who likes playmakers and throughball specialists rather than goal scorers who get the headlines
I'm with you bro.. Playmaking is an art, a beautiful art indeed, far enjoyable than tap-ins..

Cruef told him to make a difference, and he did! So Much that he gave us iniesta!
if i just had 1 % of his skill
Greatest Passer of all time Xavi+ Iniesta + 20% more = Laudrup, Laudrup was and still is an outstanding player :P I saw him play denmark vs some other team Oldboys where he owned all of them, Legend forever, you just cant hate this guy.
Magic Johnson of Football. Best ever.
would be wonderful if he played in Barcelona today.
Perhaps the best assist maker of all time, his vision, passing & assist are second to none
What impresses me the most is his level of anticipation of everything around him which enables him to create so exquisitely. Only zidane and maradona, and maybe zico catch match this.
And yet they never did, for real, Laudrups stats speaks for it self.
+++ those passes that did not lead to goal..Those you mentioning are waaay behind Laudrup in stats.
outstanding brother, your three videos should be used to educate young players. Thank you.
That bit of the clip from1.59-2.10 is just pure genius. Masterful
My favourite player. No one like him.
@und34dcow: WOW! I had no idea! Especially the first kit he ever bought!?...Thank you for the info! I had my suspisions seeing Iniesta's ''La Croqueta'' footballing move being very similar to Laudrups back in the day. That is so cool that he idolozed Laudrup.....and what a player Iniesta has become. Awesome.
Iniesta achieved a World Cup, though you are right - Laudrup's poetry on the pitch and vision is still a marvel to see.
This video is like an ode to the wastefulness of centre forwards. :D
this is beautiful
Best player in Spain 1974-1999
One of the best, not the only one: Cruyff, Kempes, Quini, Maradona, Schuster, Hugo Sánchez, Romario, Figo, Ronaldo or Rivaldo can also aspire to that consideration
Allan Simonsen, When Maradona failed in Barca the fans wanted Allan back.
@@carlossimancas9867 The man was talking about the award. Laudrup was awarded the best player in spain in last 25 years in 1999 by the liga.
Laudrup is Xavi and Iniesta put into one.
No he wasn't. He was an advanced version of both of these but the communication betn xavi-iniesta made them great.
What seems to amaze me the most is the weight on those passes, the best I’ve ever seen.
Am I the only one who saw none of these passes before he made them.....
Master of Passing!!
Laudrup, Stoichkov and Romario in the same team!!! Unbelievable!!!!
I have never seen a finer player.
Kaka before injury was finer
not even xavi or zidane comes close to Laudrups skill of reading the game and tear apart the defense with an insanely accurate pass!
So underrated.
Looking at the comments. Finally, Michael is getting the accolade's from the general global football audiences, thanks to brilliant youtube content creators like llaauuddrruupp, he should have gotten during the 1990s. The mass football media hyped Romario, Baggio, Ronaldo, Zidane, back then because, they played for big football nations that made dents in FIFA's world cup's money machine, which Laudrup couldn't do, coming from a small nation like Denmark.
But he was a technically, more all round complete player than those players & in the word's of his manager at Barcelona & a great skilled, all time great player himself, Johan Cruyff. He said. " Michael plays like a dream". Couldn't say it better myself.
Yes you're right but he played some fantastic football at the world cup in mexico in 1986 when denmark met Uruguay and beat them 6-1 you'll never forget moments like that. look at his goal to 3-1 pure genius and the world cup in 1998 in france when denmark met nigeria beating them 4-1 michaels pass to ebbe sand when he scored unforgettable
TIme when football had passion, when it had spirit. Talent everywhere, players dying for the badge. Real men not crybabies playing football. Those were the days. God! Nostalgia's a b!t-c-h. Wish I could go back to those days of my life.
@IIIL47v: Great point! The way he ghosts past defenders was amazing. The original Iniesta. It wouldn't surprise me if Iniesta watched a couple of Laudrup's videos from the Barca archive :)
Yes, Iniesta did copy Laudrup and learned alot from him (Laudrup). He was Iniesta's hero and Iniesta even said that Laudrup was the best player in history
Que jugadorazo, por Dios!!! Y cuanto lo disfrutamos en Barcelona. Jugadores como Matthaus, Van Basten, Gullit, Baggio o Stoichkov ganaron balones de oro siendo todos ellos muy buenos pero no mejores que Michael Laudrup
did he ever score a goal himself? Santa is from Denmark, ok fine
He made a lot of goals, Understand why Johan Croyf were after him, when he had the skills for it.
@@Tbonyandsteak yeah, and given how unselfish he was in his game, he still did score a bunch of goals.
Dennis bergkamp is the only other player I’ve seen on this level of passing. 2 of them on a team will make a plank playing striker win the ballon d’or
I am the BIGGEST de bruyne fan….. but this guy is a *slighty* better version of him
I hate to disagree, but I have to. They both have beyond great passing and vision range. De Bruyne is a better athlete, most modern footballers are, but Michael was a magician with graceful through balls and elegant lob passes. If you watch the crossing they are looping as was the style back then. De Bruyne is more of a surgeon, all his passes are hit with speed and precision, pin point and laser focused. His crosses are swerving and fast and when he runs with the ball it’s fast and determined, not that fancy elegance and trickery of Michael Laudrup.
Laudrup is more Iniesta, or you could say he’s very influenced by Laudrup. I also think there are a few parallels with Zinedine Zidane. All though was more aggressive and physical.
OMG crazy talent⚽👋
Some of the finest touch there is.
He's both footed...
Hi again. Ok, thanks for answering. Would be something to see Brian and Michael coaching a team together... perhaps Danemark national team?? :D
This is such a great video
Attacker: where can you pass it to?
Laudrup: Just run
Amazinng pass
Omg 6:30 What a genious!
Hello friend, can you upload the video of part 2 ?? I had it years ago but it got lost and now I can not find it in its list of videos. Thank you very much and Enjoy Laudrup
Hello, again. I'm afraid I no longer have that video. But all its footage was used in my The Ultimate Passing Compilation.
@alexhansen1 Totti is the only passer I would put anywhere near Laudrup. People talk of Zidane yet in his entire international career he only created one assist for their all time highest goal scorer despite playing almost all his career with him and that was from a set piece!! If Laudrup played today he would be very famous. He is unlucky that like Romário, Savicevic, Bebeto, Matthaus and Preud'homme, he played his best years before it was easy to watch foreign leagues.
My kind of baller. Elegance and touch >>>
We need the name of the two first songs...
he was the best player in world,that time
He played at Juve , Barcelona and real Madrid when it was almost impossible to even played at only two foreign players were allowed in all Europe , grandisimo Laudrup.
Sy det er vildt fedt at du kan blive ved!
Один из самых умных и интеллигентных игроков мирового футбола.
this is outrageous💯💯💯💪💪😍😍
Why is it called defence splitting passes on english? is it becouse it cuts through the defence line? did I answer it there myself? :P
what a depth.
6:13 insane
Shred a team apart with a pass = laudraup
La magia del eterno genio danés.
i don't see any reason to say that Zidane was a better playmaker than Michael Laudrup.
he could do anything Zidane did with the ball and played more team orientated with less show elements than Zidane.
the new song actually fits quite well with the clip. can anyone tell me the title?
Just Amazing, Awesome What A Accuracy. P.S. whats song name plz?
Nunca vi um cara com tanta visao de jogo assim e precisao no passe, lembra muito de bruyne xavi iniesta porem muito mais a frente no seu pensamento e visao
I wish he was on the classic XI team on fifa
THE GOAT OF PASSING
