As a Swansea city fan this video simultaneously makes me so happy but also breaks my heart. So emotional to remember what we once were and how far we’ve fallen. These were the glory days. What I would give to have that team back. 😢 Michu was incredible that season, so sad that injuries ruined his career after that. Got to give credit to Michael Laudrup as well. 👏
If we'd have had our present owners back then, he'd have been sold half way through his first season. Amazing to think that the ball boy that was kicked is now one of the richest young men in the UK.
People don’t realise how bad his ankle injury was, 5 surgeries and still has pain despite retiring 6 years ago. Michu with a working ankle would’ve been incredible
@@GarthLyle Found an interesting article on how it's use exploded. People on social media began using in every other sentence cos they thought it made them sound smart. It also added an extra word to their short, simple sentences which increased their "content".
Michu was something special, he came and went away in blink of an eye ,he was absolutely amazing. I always feel pain when I saw him. He left football too early.
Thats why haaland idolishes him michu was playing like alan shearer in that season the biggest one season wonder ever it was a dream season for him 🔥🔥🔥
Michu, Dyer, Routledge, Ashley Williams, Hernandez, De Guzman, Vorm, Davies 😂 It's always funner when teams like this succeed. Football is mostly about BELIEF. This team believed.
Bradford streets will never forget the team that played Swansea in that cup final, the fact that a league 2 club got that far is astonishing. We were beaten fair and square by an incredible side though
As a Swans fan, I never thought I'd see them in the championship let alone in the prem winning a trophy. Had to pinch myself many times to believe it. But sadly for the Swans, it's been downhill ever since that year :(
I only started watching football in 2014 so I have no memory of Michu, but everything I hear and see of him makes me think what a treat it must have been to watch him at the time, a shame Swansea never managed to push on beyond that but hopefully one day they will rise again
Ronaldinho / Del Piero / Zidane / Totti / Baggio / Pirlo / Bergkamp / Henry / Beckham (tutorial on how he shoots) / Juninho / Maldini / Roberto Carlos / Pavel Nedved. Enjoy !!!
Michu, the embodiment of one season wonder. but we will never forget how lethal he was in front of goals even though he was supposed to be a midfielder by trade.
The profile of Michu is truly insane the elegance of his touch high IQ that’s happened to be a streaker with lethal goal scoring abilities, you can’t find players like this today and if you find them the price tag is up to 150M.
Michu was Swansea City's greatest find. He made scoring goals look easy. It would be great to find someone similar with that amount of talent, gold dust.. Swansea at their very best. It was a great time to be a Swans fan.
I was at all those games with my dad and two young kids. The win at Arsenal with both goals in front of the away fans was incredible. The way Michu seemed to have so much time for the second. Brings back a lot of great memories of that season. What a squad playing for a great manager. I only hope that one day we can somehow recreate that amazing feeling but it feels a world away.
Thanks for this, Michu was and is the best player I have seen play for the Swans, nothing against Trundle, Curtis, (two legends in their own right) but he was really something special. As for this team, some of the football was just breath taking, the best I have seen in my 35 years watching the Swans. And lastly, Michael Laudrup, cool as you like, laid back, roll a ball and lets play football in training, when he wasn't selling wine around the world. 😉😉😂😂😎😎
I started my first year of uni at Swansea back in 2012, I never realised it but I accidentally came during the most iconic year in the clubs history...great times! Watching Hazard kicking a ball boy, meeting Chico Flores on Wind Street and having him come play fifa in our accomodation the day after, always seeing Michu eating pizza randomly. Great Times!
You forgot to mention the most important component of that success, appointment of michael laudrup as manager, he beat likes of liverpool, arsenal, chelsea and won efl cup with a team that was honestly nothing special without him while playing beautiful free flowing football, GENIUS.
I got to tell you, I am not born and raise in the UK but I am a huge huge football fan, back in the time when I was exchanging in UK to study, I watch my first ever premier league match: Southampton vs Swansea City I think in Feb 2015 when Jonjo Shelvey scored the only goal of the match to secure Swansea City victory. It is not a big match for either team, but for me, this match will forever be remember in my heart. (I am actually a Brighton fan since 2012 when they are still in the Championship)
As a newer soccer fan it's cool to see videos like this. You hear all about the big 6 clubs, so seeing Swansea a team that I haven't seen talked about at all succeed is nice to watch. That Michu dude is a baller.
@@yoloswag6663 Sigerson's free kick against united in the prem i was there behind the net it was incredible i was 9 me and my friend talked abt it all the way back to swansea
Growing up, my football hero was Michael Laudrup. I get the sense this group of players loved playing under him.. so much knowledge and creativity to share!
Went to two matches that season and we lost them both and couldn't be bothered to try the final as by the time our ticket priority started, we would be high in the heavens. However, we got to the end of season dinner, met a few of the players and got a photo with Michu. Seeing how fast he came and went from Premier League football, i feel even more lucky to have that photo, especially a League Cup Final goalscorer from that season. Its still so sad how his career was cut short though, was an emotional day when he left let alone prematurely retired. Many thanks for posting. Memories that won't ever be repeated or anywhere near thanks to Livien and Kaplan.
I remember at this season Swanse and some of their player has the highest stats of pass completed and possession ball even higher than Barca with the Tiki-Taka. This team is not just about Michu, one of the most entertaining team to watch on that season. Edit: And little correction to the video, the team they beat in the League Cup final is Bradford and not Brentford.
Swansea had the one of highest pass completion rate in europe for the past 2 years before this, leon britton had the highest pass comp. rate in europe above xavi and iniesta whilst they were under pep guardiola in 2011/12.
I'm an American and hopped on the Swansea bandwagon that year since I didn't have a favorite team. Have stuck with them since. Hopefully back up to the Prem soon, although it's unfortunate that new ownership doesn't seem intent on investing in the team.
Yep. And he was such a great player in his playing days as well, well he was soo good that he was schooling this Swansea team in their training sessions and games and doing it effortlessly at that lol.
as a LFC fan from Wales i remember this Swansea Side as i remember there EFL cup final battle with Bradford City who were in League 2 back then but more importantly the hype for 13-14 season as Cardiff won the 12/13 championship so the hype watching the South Wales Derby in the 1st tier of English football like man the memories
For a team that's supposed to fight for not being relegated every season, winning a national competition, finishing top 10 on the positions placement and almost qualifying for European tournaments it's something unthinkable that only happens in videogames. Much respect to this team, so sad they're far from their golden days, same with Leicester and Malaga
Miss this golden era so much privileged to have watched them play at all the home games that season I was 15 then I'm 26 now years have flown I was devastated when michu left us 😂
what a beautiful tale. michu is one of my fav striker in epl. but dont forget that lad whos holding the ball from hazard. i wish a big meteor land on that lad.
There were few players that made me watch football just to see what they will do next: Futre, Hagi, Zola, Okocha, Hugo Sanchez, Ronaldinho, Michael Laudrup, Suarez, Michu
I remember myself as an 11 year old gooner absolutely hating Michu because of those two goals at the Emirates😆 Now I appreciate what he has done for Swansea
@@cell2179yes he was. He’s only seen as a one season wonder because he picked up a career ending injury. Had that not happened he would’ve continued and probably gone to the very top.
El mejor Swansea de la historia, Laudrup lo hizo el swarcelona, que bien jugaban, no se si sea el único fan de Swansea city en México pero algún dia ire a wales haber al equipo que amo
Everyone talking about the players, but seems to forget the maestro and legend Michael Laudrup, who created a true and beautiful fairytale story, that sadly seemed to be forgotten, when Leicester won the league few years later. Michus performance that season was purely phenomenal and it still remains a mystery to me, how he’s career just seemed to vanish afterwards.

You can see why Michu was one of Haalands idols.
He has taken so much of his game into his own.
which one?

@@Akinwalesegunhe was injured you muppet
:-(
I honestly believe the injury was caused or not helped by his celebration of kicking the advertising boards. That must have caused damage to his ankle
@nickbishop48 spot on mate...He did it can't remember against who, but down at north end...
Michu was insane when he came to Swansea, he literally came and went in the blink of an eye, crazy actually 😂
So did Laudrup actually why didnt he get better jobs then Rodgers? He could have had a Zidane like impact at some big club
That's not what literally means. People need to stop using that word. It's been so poorly mistreated.

@@polinamaurou78 He wasn't some random average player though like he scored 15 goals in La Liga from midfield the season before
Same. As a LFC fan i was scared by this monster. He looks like Torres in his prime.
Referee’s decision on the tackle on Giroud is so impressive, without any VAR

Injuries ruined his career
He wasn't really a one season wonder.
Grafite was another one season wonder
@@Ivander85Yes and without injuries being the cause
Not a one season wonder at all he suffered a career ending injury.

One hit wonder
@@hawkeye1044 injuries robbed him
Michu won the streets that season, also Nathan Dyer too. That was obviously his best season. He won my heart that year
Michu was Swansea City's greatest find. He made scoring goals look easy.
It would be great to find someone similar with that amount
of talent, gold dust.. Swansea at their very best. It was a great time to be a Swans fan.
As a korean, I miss those days when Ki Sung-Yueng played with Miguel Michu, Wilfried Bony, Bafétimbi Gomis, and Jonjo Shelvey
At least Eom Ji-Sung has joined 😄
Really missed Park Ji-Sung days
These were truly the glory days, really nostalgic watching this back. What a team! 🦢 🏴

Angel Rangel is such a great name. He was also criminally underrated. Joined a League One squad and helped them get to the Prem and win trophies.
Cost us £10k
Michu and his iconic celebration is always memorable. One of the most remarkable premier league ss
The amount of nostalgia is crazy,i misss this time and i miss my grandma
May she rest in peace brother

Great season! I remember the one hit season of Michu! By the way the cup final was against Bradford, not Brentford
That bit did give me a laugh, poor bradford lol
I remember this Swansea, in FIFA 14, on my brother's mobile phone. They were a nightmare to play against. Michu was a beast.
Don Michu Oviedo, caballeros. Delantero infravalorado aquí en España, pero un gran jugador y una gran persona.
The fact that they won the League Cup in that 2012/13 season is an incredible feat. I really liked watching them back then, mostly because of Michu.
So many great memories. Michu was a breath of fresh air in that Swansea team. Excellent video
I lived in Swansea during this Swansea City golden era. It really made the town a much happier place to be.

You’ve done Bradford dirty with the mention of Brentford in the league cup final. League 1 Bradford reaching a league cup finals a story itself..
The year I fell in love with Michu the guy was sensational very clinical and scored some really good goals
It was Bradford in the final not Brentford😭😭 but still brilliant videos, lots of amazing memories
I'm an American and hopped on the Swansea bandwagon that year since I didn't have a favorite team. Have stuck with them since. Hopefully back up to the Prem soon, although it's unfortunate that new ownership doesn't seem intent on investing in the team.
Then why don't YOU invest ?
I became a swansea fans since now and still supporting the championship club till now!! I love Michu, My childhood idol.
