"An all-round player, with amazing skills and a great charisma" (Diego Armando Maradona about Bernd Schuster) Music: Michael Cassette - Pangaea (Envotion Remix)
This guy played for Barca, Real, and Atletico and won trophies in all three. A revolutionary German who succeeded outside his nation, something you don't often see in Europe back then.
+Carlos Who were the other underrated German players ? I think Uli Stielike is one of them. He was part of Madrid success in late 70s and early 80s. There were only two foreign players at Madrid in 1980/1981 season : him and Laurie "black pearl" Cunningham. Both played in European Cup 1981 final. We are waiting a rematch between Madrid and Liverpool in CL final this month.
+Carlos You must know Laurie "black pearl" Cunningham, the 1st black player at Madrid who had got standing ovation at Nou Camp after his performance in El Clasico 1980. If not for injuries and bad habit off the pitch, he could have got more success in his career.
He was quite unique. Always having something slow or old about him. But he was quite effective, had very good long range passing and shooting, a boss vision, could even dribble, and made very surprising things. He was a leader and an artist. There is no player that resembles him.
Very unique, as he even rejected to play for West Germany at WC 1982 after winning Euro 1980. I was disappointed then because I was waiting for him in WC 1982. He played for 3 clubs that have been rivalries : Barcelona, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid.
He got an injury and lost speed and quickness, that's why in Real Madrid and Atletico looked slow... his mind, nevertheless was speed of light fast, like all the geniuses
That Bernd Schuster today is so forgotten is probably a result of his decision not play for the West-German national team throughout the 80's and 90's. But Schuster was a phenomenal player with fantastic technical abilities and vision. I would put him before Thomas Hässler, Andreas Möller and the other german Spielmachers of that time any day.
Sorry, but I don't agree. I know that Mattahus has been considered by many as a super miedfielder, but the people (and naturally I am one of them) who watch Schuster playing for many years in Barcelona, Madrid and Atletico do firmely believe than Der Panzer was notably inferior in quality to the Blonde Angel.
I am not sure whether it's the style of players' outlooking or their style of play but players of past era seem always artistic and legendary to me. Also their nicknames emerge some good feelings in me: der Blonde Engel (the blonde Angel).
becoz of how cryuff changed football. everyone now are more of a system player and lack personal trait. for example, you wont see a defensive midfielder like pirlo anymore
It's my favourite 'what if' in international football: what if Schuster had played alongside Matthaus in the West/German midfield in the 1980s and early 1990s. What a thing of beauty that would have been.
Maybe three World Cups in a row. Germany was second in 1982 and 1986, before winning in 1990. From 1974 to 2002, Germany only missed three WC-End-Games.
@@yannick245 Maybe not all three... 1982 Germany was exhausted by France in semis before execution at the hands of the Italians. Gentile would probably mark Schuster considering he's such a valuable asset to everywhere he goes.
that one goal in atletico.. just changing the direction of the ball slightly after receiving it on the chest!!!!!!!!!!!! thanks for finding these players...... and thanks for the video
Kann ich mir gar nicht so richtig vorstellen. Einer zu meiner Zeit, ganz ganz Großen. Ich liebte seine Eleganz, sein Brillanz am Ball, seine langen Bälle, seine eminent gefährlichen Freistösse. Und ich bedauere unendlich, die Querellen, die er für eine gewisse Zeit mit dem Deutschen Sportbund hatte. So einen Mann Jahre nicht in der Nationalmannschaft zu sehen war bitter!
@@rawgab4439 Mag sein, dafür kannte ich ihn nicht, glaube aber, dass das ein wenig zu einfach gedacht ist. By the way, um in dieser Spitze mithalten zu können, bedarf es schon einer gewissen Portion Ego im Sinne von Selbstvertrauen, im Sinne von der Überzeugung seiner eigenen Leistung. Aber wie auch immer vom Gesichtspunkt seines fußballerischen Vermögens und Könnens [nicht seiner Person, die mich nicht interessiert und von der ich nichts weiß] gehört er für MICH zu den absoluten Topspielern seiner Zeit.
@@miabueloesamunikeymipadrel4878 dont know about that. Matthäus, Netzer, Schweinsteiger, there are so many with different playing styles. Bastian made him invincible in the night in Rio in 2014.
@@peterhammer4644 Schweisteiger was more positional and static when he played on midfilder. Netzer was a ofensive midfilder like Zizou. And Mathaus is the only one who fights for that distinction. But he play in more positions, like CB, Libero, and ofensive midfilder.
Absolutely phenomenal player with long range passes that would devastate even the best defense. Technically incredible, his free kicks - watch the video. A perfect Spielmacher in every way...
The best midfielder in the 80s. A superb player, capable of a perfect lecture of the game. One of the 10 best foreign players in the history of the Liga. It is not a coincidence that he played 8 years for Barcelona, 2 for Real Madrid and 1 for Atletico. Better than Xavi, Redondo and Guardiola in the same position, no question about that
Maradona, Zico and Platini were pure 10, trescuartistas o enganches. Estamos de acuerdo. Pero Schuster era un 5, un medio centro, center half (like Xavi, Guardiola, Redondo, etc). But Schuster was a center half, a 5, like Xavi in his good days at Barcelona.
Carlos Simancas Mas engaches e trequartistas também são jogadores de meio-campo. Eles não precisam ser necessariamente goleadores como Zico, Platini e Maradona temos como exemplo o Riquelme que era mais um armador de jogadas mas nem por isso deixou de ser um #10 e o Rui Costa que também era mais um passador com visão de jogo. Para mim o Schuster era um #10 ou #8, um playmaker articulador como o Laudrup.
Bernd Shcuster one of the most underated players to come out of Germany hands down. Great solid player with excellent skills and resolve in the box area😎
He actually never really fully recovered from getting his knee destroyed by the Butcher of Bilbao in 81 which resulted in a thorn ACL. Makes his career even more remarkable. Without that he would have been Germanys best player in his era. Hands down.
One of the very best players of the 80's. Besides all the success he had in Spain, he also won the European Championship with Germany in 1980. then followed a major falling out with the DFB and coach Jupp Derwall. When you consider Germany went on to make 3 World Cup Final's in succession in 1982, 1986 and 1990 you have to think he really blew a chance to win possibly multiple World Cups
@@lesterpaul9657 dont know about him also schuster have some head issues too for instance he refused to play 88,86 and 90 tournaments and I strongly believed i schuster didint bitched out, germany would win at least one more trophy during those years and defineatly matteus would be considered as role player instead of leader in that german national team :) schuster was the skillest german I ever seen but he was not my favorite one my all time favorite is Littbarski...
@@kafici Yeah, Litti was great too. You have to know about the guys ruled the german football association in that time to understand Schuster. A bunch of ignorant conservative tosser. Was the same after the 1974 WC win. Beckenbauer, Breitner, Müller, Grabowski refused to play again for germany because of the same guys. Breitner returned in 1982.
@@lesterpaul9657 you mean the great köln-munich conflict during 70's and 80's yup I read about that on tony schmachers book :) speaking about german players in my opinion, fritz waler is your legend, kaizer is footballing diamond and german football's ''the special one'' is this ''mule face :) ruclips.net/video/EDO3SOVH2go/видео.html
Great player of the 1980th 👍 Controversial character, not easy to handle for a manager 😊 But on the pitch he was outstanding. He was the playmaker of German side that won the European Championship in 1980 at the age of 20. Later on he got problems with the coach of the nation's team, Derwall. One of the best German midfielders of all time.
I remember back in the 1980s when Platini was touted as the best European player of that era & I always thought, Schuster was the most gifted European player of the 1980s. Unbelievable dribbling ability backed up with outrageous defense-splitting long rang passes & a superb striker of the ball. His decision not to play for Germany messed up his legacy as am sure, he would have left a deep mark on the 1982 & 1986 world cups.
No...he was the classic "Spielmacher" or playmaker...the 10. Back then the Top teams had a playmaker as central midfielder who had free reign. Often a defensive 6 who would compensate for the offense only style these playmakers had. Schuster was the heart of the team....long distance passes, fast short passes....free kicks....corner kicks....the classic 10 didn't do defensive work. Of course there were exceptions like Lothar Matthäus...who played as 6, 8 or central offensive 10 behind the two strikers. But players like Diego Maradona, Bernd Schuster or even Krassimir Balakov were organizers and passing machines. In today's football....De Bruyne has this style...Luka Modric. In today's time there's often two 8s....the classic interceptor (6) like Dieter Eilts, Gattuso or Javi Martinez is pretty much gone.
amazing to see the DFB had no idea how good he was or how to handle him / find a spot for him. this goes down a long list of failures the biggest football association (memberwise) has come up with n doesn't even know how to manage it's national team nowadays. Ozil, Müller, Hummels, Boateng, Roland Wohlfarth, Andreas Thom, Effenberg, Löw, Trautmann, Lehmann, Kahn, ter Stegen just to mention a few issues over the last decades without even trying to think
Paulo Futre until today says the 2 best foreign players with whom he played were Rabah Madjer and Schuster. Not going to count AC Milan players because his knees were done at the year he was there.
Schuster war ein Genie als Fußballer, leider ein wenig unbequem, damit ist er oft angeeckt, aber zusammen mit Heinz Flohe dürfte Dchuster wohl der beste deutsche Mittelfeldspieler der 70-er und 80-er Jahre sein. Der hat in allen drei spanischen Top-Teams gespielt und war überall herausragend.
@@yannick245 Warum sollte ich besoffen gewesen sein? Von seinem Können her, war Flohe der beste deutsche Fußballer in den 70-ern, frag nach bei Beckenbauer. Allerdings hat er seine Karriere schon sehr früh in den 80-ern beenden müssen. Wer war denn besser? Ich rede jetzt von deutschen Spielern.
@@Juppalieu Alleine im WM-Kader von 1974 waren X bessere Spieler. Du hast auch nicht von besten Talent sondern vom besten Spieler der 70er-Jahre gesprochen. Die beste Ära des deutschen Fußballs überhaupt! Jeder Fußballfan auf der ganzen Welt kann dir einen handvoll Spielern aus dieser Zeit nennen. Egal ob Brasilien oder Botswana. Flohe wird nie dabei sein. Da stehst du mit Beckenbauer und vielleicht ein paar verrückten Kölnern alleine dastehen. Noch etwas: Das Schuster angeeckt ist, lag zum größten Teil an seiner zwölf Jahre älteren Frau (er 20, sie 32) und Managerin. Ohne sie wäre er auch z.B. zur Nationalmannschaft zurückgekehrt. Sie wollte 1.000.000 Millionen Mark Rückkehr-Handgeld, während die Spieler damals vom DFB eine Auflaufprämie von ca. 800 Mark bekommen haben. Die Frau hat von Anfang an seinen Charakter verdorben. Sein Talent war zum Glück größer als die Gier seiner Frau.
@@yannick245 Bezüglich Schuster und seiner Frau stimme ich Dir zu, in Sachen „Flohe“ gehen unsere Meinungen auseinander, aber das ist auch okay so…Meinungsfreiheit olé
@@Juppalieu Wir hatten in den 70ern so viele absolute internationale Topstars, die Ballon d'Or Sieger wurden, mehrfach den Europapokal der Landesmeister, UEFA-Cup etc. gewonnen haben. Die das Mittelfeld von Real Madrid gesteuert haben usw. usw. Aber du bestehst tatsächlich auf Flohe? Du hast Recht, es gilt Meinungsfreiheit aber würdest du es gelten lassen, wenn ich Lukas Podolski den besten deutschen Spieler der 00er oder 10er Jahre bezeichnen würde, nur weil ich es kann? Podolski hat übrigens eine beeindruckendere Karriere in der Nationalmannschaft und allgemein international hingelegt als Flohe. Ich glaube es ist einfach ein persönlicher Tick von dir. Vielleicht behauptet auch dein Vater das selbe aber es ist einfach faktisch falsch...
Der Blonde Engel. It inspires me to compose XI blond haired. Here it is : Oliver Kahn Berti Vogts - Ronald Koeman - Bobby Moore - Andreas Brehme Bernd Schuster - Bastian Schweinsteiger - Bobby Charlton - Gunter Netzer Karl Heinz Rumenigge - Jurgen Klinsmann Reserve : Peter Schmeichel (GK) Guido Buchwald (CB) Morten Olsen (CB) Karl Heinz Schnellinger (LB) Soren Lerby (MF) Uwe Seeler (FW) Preben Elkjaer (FW) Horst Hrubesch (FW) Manager : Rudi Voeller I place him as the manager instead of as a forward, because it's difficult for me to find a great blond-haired manager Note : - I am not really sure whether Philip Lahm is blond-haired or not. - I will instruct Voeller to bring on Hrubesch in 2nd half when my team is trailing and seem to be able to score only from crossing. Full of Germans, but pretty good, right ?
great Blond-11, love it👍. If Lahm is blond, he surely belongs to that team. Top3 full-back of all-times. You would have to drop Berti. btw did Bobby have some hair? 😂😂
People dont realize how far ahead mentallly the great players were.. they try too compare or argue with how physical is today. Those genius were always seconds ahead
Wird immer wieder gern vergessen , da Er seine Schnauze schön aufgerissen hatte und sagte was Sache war ‼️Für mich auf einer Stufe Beckenbauer als Mittelfeldstratege 🙋🏻♂️👌🏻⚽️‼️Danke Bernd für deine spielerische Genialität
He did not accept the dictature of some players of Bayern Munich like Breitner and Rummenige inside the national team. That is the reason why he decided to stay at home. And he found Jupp Derwall a mediocre coach.
1982 he had a conflict with Jupp Derwall, and 1986 he had a conflict with Franz Beckenbauer ( "" Ja der Franz, ja der Franz der kanns ). Schuster said everytime what he thought. With this type of character Derwall and Beckenbauer had a lot of Problems.
People don't know about Schuster. He was an in-house German genius when people thought players from that country were just efficient robots. Some of the stuff he does is up there with Ozil or Musiala or anyone that's worn Germany's shirt afterwards.
I have always prefered him to Matthäus.. Imagine the two of them in the 1986 world cup vs. Maradona.. He had/has a difficult wife as far as i remember who was also his manager
Mathaus was the perfect example of an overrated player. Of course Schuster was better than him....but he was unfortunated not playing for his national team in the 80's (it was because a conflict with his national federation). If Shuster would have played with Germany in the 80's I have no doubt that the national team would have won the World Cup in 1990 and....yes, the WC of 1982. Especially in 1982, he was the best midfielder in the world
@m g It was just the other way around: Schuster was an incredible player while Matthaus never reached the level of the Blonde Angel. And I watched both of them for ten years, not like the mayority of people, who praise Matthaus but not watched Schuster at his best. Maybe you are one of them...
@@carlossimancas9867 I disagree. Matthäus was never overrated. You can ask Inter fans. Matthäus is voted top 10 player of all-time in Inter and he only played there 4 seasons. Of modern players only Ronaldo and Bergomi are rated higher. And he always performed in Germanys shirt. No way overrated. I do agree 1982 Schuster was the best midfielder in the world.
@@peterhammer4644 Matthaus in the top ten of history in Inter? Maybe yes, but I only say that he was not as super good as many people said or continue saying. It's the same case with Toni Kross, a fantastic footballer, no question about it, but not at the same level than Beckenbauer or Schuster, both of them the greatest German players ever by far. By the way, considering that Ronaldo was injured the great majority of time he spent playing for Inter, I do not consider him in the top 10 of that club. Not in terms of regularity. And I have to make it clear that I rate Ronaldo as one of the seven best players of all times.
he was the only player of all time, that plays for bbarca,real and athletico,he plays with maradone in barca as a tandem and was votet from the spanish fans as the best foregn player ever,he marks goals for all clubs
Known for not playing in the German National team...... and was chosen as European player of the year..... Could not following him though, since our National tv at that time did not broadcast Barcelona games.
I won’t compare players as different times. but impact on football and fans was massive with schuster in spain. Bigger than Reus and Müller in germany today for sure. he played for the big three across 12 years. nothing left to say.
@@diegaulle9143 i was born in 1986 so i didn't see Schuster play but i have no doubt he's better than Reus and Muller. His success in the three biggest clubs in Spain was a epic thing.
Great player but you have to give credit for Thomas Müller. He has had an incredible career scoring 10 goals in World cup as youngster. Also Müller played much higher on pitch than Schuster, so hardly comparable.
My boss is from a village in Augsburg and has known him. He told me that this guy was at the football pitch all the time back when there wasn't internet or so. He could play them out with just rubber boots because they hadn't much money

But players like Diego Maradona, Bernd Schuster or even Krassimir Balakov were organizers and passing machines.
In today's football....De Bruyne has this style...Luka Modric.
In today's time there's often two 8s....the classic interceptor (6) like Dieter Eilts, Gattuso or Javi Martinez is pretty much gone.
Top 10 de los mejores futbolistas Europeos de la historia.
Playing for Atletico , Barca and Real Madrid it's a honnor for him and a proof of his high quality ...
proprio lui, incredibile! il giocatore più atteso, 'cezzionale!
CE FACETI BAI NEBUNILOR
Kommando Bernd Schuster Leverkusen. RIP Diego!
This player was the "Rivaldo" german, very similar skills
Ce draci avea pe el. Sanki, suste, la misto
I came here because of guardiola interview with rio ferdinand
0:06 ni el mágico Gonzales lo pudo parar
legende
Wonder why he boycotted the German national team. He could have made a name for himself.
amazing to see the DFB had no idea how good he was or how to handle him / find a spot for him.
this goes down a long list of failures the biggest football association (memberwise) has come up with n doesn't even know how to manage it's national team nowadays.
Ozil, Müller, Hummels, Boateng, Roland Wohlfarth, Andreas Thom, Effenberg, Löw, Trautmann, Lehmann, Kahn, ter Stegen just to mention a few issues over the last decades without even trying to think
His wife wanted 1 million from the German football federation at a time were the players basically played for free at the national team.
I do agree the DFB has been shit. But as yannick said, hardly an option with 1 million.
En tu boca Toni Kroos jajajajaja
In Deutschland darfst du eben keinen Charakter haben. Wuttke,Schuster,Basler.. Die Liste ist endlos.
jepp...
Could he be one of the pioneers of the modern number 8?
Great vídeo! And great Channel! Just subscribed. Thanks for your efforts!
He was a monster in Barcelona, real Madsrid and Atletico.Pure class
Paulo Futre until today says the 2 best foreign players with whom he played were Rabah Madjer and Schuster. Not going to count AC Milan players because his knees were done at the year he was there.
one of the best footballers of all time.
I come into this video because of pep's interview with rio ferdinand when he was asked about his dream 5 a 5 team.
I was very surprised about his inclusion because he played for both Madrid teams
Schuster war ein Genie als Fußballer, leider ein wenig unbequem, damit ist er oft angeeckt, aber zusammen mit Heinz Flohe dürfte Dchuster wohl der beste deutsche Mittelfeldspieler der 70-er und 80-er Jahre sein.
Der hat in allen drei spanischen Top-Teams gespielt und war überall herausragend.
Heinz Flohe? Bist du besoffen?
@@yannick245 Warum sollte ich besoffen gewesen sein?
Von seinem Können her, war Flohe der beste deutsche Fußballer in den 70-ern, frag nach bei Beckenbauer.
Allerdings hat er seine Karriere schon sehr früh in den 80-ern beenden müssen.
Wer war denn besser?
Ich rede jetzt von deutschen Spielern.
@@Juppalieu Alleine im WM-Kader von 1974 waren X bessere Spieler.
Du hast auch nicht von besten Talent sondern vom besten Spieler der 70er-Jahre gesprochen. Die beste Ära des deutschen Fußballs überhaupt! Jeder Fußballfan auf der ganzen Welt kann dir einen handvoll Spielern aus dieser Zeit nennen. Egal ob Brasilien oder Botswana. Flohe wird nie dabei sein. Da stehst du mit Beckenbauer und vielleicht ein paar verrückten Kölnern alleine dastehen.
Noch etwas:
Das Schuster angeeckt ist, lag zum größten Teil an seiner zwölf Jahre älteren Frau (er 20, sie 32) und Managerin. Ohne sie wäre er auch z.B. zur Nationalmannschaft zurückgekehrt. Sie wollte 1.000.000 Millionen Mark Rückkehr-Handgeld, während die Spieler damals vom DFB eine Auflaufprämie von ca. 800 Mark bekommen haben. Die Frau hat von Anfang an seinen Charakter verdorben. Sein Talent war zum Glück größer als die Gier seiner Frau.
@@yannick245 Bezüglich Schuster und seiner Frau stimme ich Dir zu, in Sachen „Flohe“ gehen unsere Meinungen auseinander, aber das ist auch okay so…Meinungsfreiheit olé
@@Juppalieu Wir hatten in den 70ern so viele absolute internationale Topstars, die Ballon d'Or Sieger wurden, mehrfach den Europapokal der Landesmeister, UEFA-Cup etc. gewonnen haben. Die das Mittelfeld von Real Madrid gesteuert haben usw. usw.
Aber du bestehst tatsächlich auf Flohe? Du hast Recht, es gilt Meinungsfreiheit aber würdest du es gelten lassen, wenn ich Lukas Podolski den besten deutschen Spieler der 00er oder 10er Jahre bezeichnen würde, nur weil ich es kann? Podolski hat übrigens eine beeindruckendere Karriere in der Nationalmannschaft und allgemein international hingelegt als Flohe.
Ich glaube es ist einfach ein persönlicher Tick von dir. Vielleicht behauptet auch dein Vater das selbe aber es ist einfach faktisch falsch...
Der Blonde Engel.
It inspires me to compose XI blond haired. Here it is :
Oliver Kahn
Berti Vogts - Ronald Koeman - Bobby Moore - Andreas Brehme
Bernd Schuster - Bastian Schweinsteiger - Bobby Charlton - Gunter Netzer
Karl Heinz Rumenigge - Jurgen Klinsmann
Reserve :
Peter Schmeichel (GK)
Guido Buchwald (CB)
Morten Olsen (CB)
Karl Heinz Schnellinger (LB)
Soren Lerby (MF)
Uwe Seeler (FW)
Preben Elkjaer (FW)
Horst Hrubesch (FW)
Manager : Rudi Voeller
I place him as the manager instead of as a forward, because it's difficult for me to find a great blond-haired manager
Note :
- I am not really sure whether Philip Lahm is blond-haired or not.
- I will instruct Voeller to bring on Hrubesch in 2nd half when my team is trailing and seem to be able to score only from crossing.
Full of Germans, but pretty good, right ?
great Blond-11, love it👍. If Lahm is blond, he surely belongs to that team. Top3 full-back of all-times. You would have to drop Berti.
btw did Bobby have some hair? 😂😂
Great video. Great tribute to Bernd Schuster
Mit Schuster im Kader hätte man 88-94 jeden Nationatitel gewonnen.
El mejor jugador alemán de la historia si hubiera decidido ir a la selección y no dejarla por una decisión tonta.
No la dejó, fue un enfado mutuo con la selección, pero sí, una tragedia no verlo disputar ni siquiera un Mundial
Schuster played for Barcelona, Real Madrid and Atlético de Madrid.
People dont realize how far ahead mentallly the great players were.. they try too compare or argue with how physical is today. Those genius were always seconds ahead
Wird immer wieder gern vergessen , da Er seine Schnauze schön aufgerissen hatte und sagte was Sache war ‼️Für mich auf einer Stufe Beckenbauer als Mittelfeldstratege 🙋🏻♂️👌🏻⚽️‼️Danke Bernd für deine spielerische Genialität
Sadly Schuster never played a world cup for Germany.
He did not accept the dictature of some players of Bayern Munich like Breitner and Rummenige inside the national team. That is the reason why he decided to stay at home. And he found Jupp Derwall a mediocre coach.
@@xaviermartin4140 Indeed this reflects what was happening.
1982 he had a conflict with Jupp Derwall, and 1986 he had a conflict with Franz Beckenbauer ( "" Ja der Franz, ja der Franz der kanns ). Schuster said everytime what he thought. With this type of character Derwall and Beckenbauer had a lot of Problems.
@ Remstaeler That is the reason i really like this man. Anyway the best soccerplayer Germany ever had.
@@xaviermartin4140 Absolutely / absolutamente
El mitico y legendario..
underrated like Paul Scoles
first 10 seconds - two red cards by today's standards
jurgen kohler H/L? please!
pure class midfielder
Absolute legend who can play as attacking midfield, central mid as well as a sweeper..just like Zbigniew Boniek of his time
Yes
Esse doido disse não à Alemanha em 1982!
Un des meilleurs footballeurs allemands sous-estimé
Reminds me of Laudrup
At his peak, Schuster was Kroos and Modric in one player
People don't know about Schuster. He was an in-house German genius when people thought players from that country were just efficient robots. Some of the stuff he does is up there with Ozil or Musiala or anyone that's worn Germany's shirt afterwards.
jeez the goalies were sitting in actual muck back then
ce draci are pe el
Why he stopped coaching? I like it the way his Getafe played
I have always prefered him to Matthäus.. Imagine the two of them in the 1986 world cup vs. Maradona.. He had/has a difficult wife as far as i remember who was also his manager
Mathaus was the perfect example of an overrated player. Of course Schuster was better than him....but he was unfortunated not playing for his national team in the 80's (it was because a conflict with his national federation). If Shuster would have played with Germany in the 80's I have no doubt that the national team would have won the World Cup in 1990 and....yes, the WC of 1982. Especially in 1982, he was the best midfielder in the world
@m g It was just the other way around: Schuster was an incredible player while Matthaus never reached the level of the Blonde Angel. And I watched both of them for ten years, not like the mayority of people, who praise Matthaus but not watched Schuster at his best. Maybe you are one of them...
@m g yeah, sure. Now you're going to say that Cristiano Ronaldo is better than Messi. Go on, my friend
@@carlossimancas9867 I disagree. Matthäus was never overrated. You can ask Inter fans. Matthäus is voted top 10 player of all-time in Inter and he only played there 4 seasons. Of modern players only Ronaldo and Bergomi are rated higher. And he always performed in Germanys shirt. No way overrated.
I do agree 1982 Schuster was the best midfielder in the world.
@@peterhammer4644 Matthaus in the top ten of history in Inter? Maybe yes, but I only say that he was not as super good as many people said or continue saying. It's the same case with Toni Kross, a fantastic footballer, no question about it, but not at the same level than Beckenbauer or Schuster, both of them the greatest German players ever by far. By the way, considering that Ronaldo was injured the great majority of time he spent playing for Inter, I do not consider him in the top 10 of that club. Not in terms of regularity. And I have to make it clear that I rate Ronaldo as one of the seven best players of all times.
he was the only player of all time, that plays for bbarca,real and athletico,he plays with maradone in barca as a tandem and was votet from the spanish fans as the best foregn player ever,he marks goals for all clubs
Miquel Soler also played for each one
I remenber him so well in Atlético de Madrid with Paulo Futre.
Top 3 teams in Spain and always controversal.
Amazing player. Thank you for the vídeo
what a player! very unfair he wasn't called to the 1982 and 1986 world cups
he was injured in 1982 and had already retired from the national team in 1986. His relationship with the DFB was "difficult" to put it mildly
He had less than 30 caps for Germany. 😱
Because he didn’t want to play for Germany.
@@wallystellmacher6794 no his wife didn't want him to play
Where's the 3rd Bayer Leverkusen goal. I heard he was nominated 3 times for goal of the year in one year.
Known for not playing in the German National team......
and was chosen as European player of the year.....
Could not following him though, since our National tv at that time did not broadcast Barcelona games.
Saw a video of Pep saying he loved watching this guy, so now I’m here.
What an amazing player! Much better than Reus and Muller.
true
I won’t compare players as different times. but impact on football and fans was massive with schuster in spain. Bigger than Reus and Müller in germany today for sure. he played for the big three across 12 years. nothing left to say.
@@diegaulle9143 i was born in 1986 so i didn't see Schuster play but i have no doubt he's better than Reus and Muller. His success in the three biggest clubs in Spain was a epic thing.
Look what Müller has won and what Schuster has won(playing 3 spanish top clubs)
Great player but you have to give credit for Thomas Müller. He has had an incredible career scoring 10 goals in World cup as youngster. Also Müller played much higher on pitch than Schuster, so hardly comparable.
Guardiola idolised this guy !
El mejor centrocampista de los 80
De largo
My boss is from a village in Augsburg and has known him. He told me that this guy was at the football pitch all the time back when there wasn't internet or so. He could play them out with just rubber boots because they hadn't much money
Ey bro.. please do a video on okocha,mustapha hadji and more African footballer s...
4 copa del reys in a row is crazy. With Barca, Real Madrid, and Atleti
GOTT!!!
Best German player ever. Period.
Bernd Schuster war weltklasse.
