I'm french and Juninho is the player that made me love football. I was a kid when he traumatized ligue 1, and i'm really thankfull that you put some light on a player that is so often easilly described as just a free kick scorer when he was much more important and skillfull than that.
I watched the 2022 cup live where he was also casting and doing analytics. He also has tremendous insight, everything he said happened after, from players leaving and subbing to where attacks would happen. He'll probably become a coach in the future.
@kyokusanagi9800 he had a very rough experience at Lyon as sporting director, i don't know if he wants to have a manager job. I think he's biggest problem is that he is an honest man who values given words,and those qualities does not goes along with the way football clubs are rulled, at least in France (and i doubt it's better in brasil)
my dad had a work trip to Lyon back in 2002-ish got brought back a Juninho Olympique Lyonnais shirt. I had no clue who he was- I was a fringe football fan (a kid from the Pacific Northwest) but after getting the jersey and trying to watch as many videos of him I could find on the internet..I became a fan and he made me join my highschool team. Fabulous player. I thank him (and my dad) for getting me more involved in this wonderful sport.
Eu sou torcedor do Vasco da gama do Rio de janeiro,vi dezenas de gols de falta de Juninho nos anos 90 e depois no seu retorno ao Brasil em 2011 Aqui no Brasil tem a dúvida de quem foi o melhor batedor de todos os tempos se foi Zico,Marcelinho carioca ou Juninho pernambucano Eu fico com juninho
As an Olympique Lyonnais fan, Juninho is one of the greatest midfielders i've ever seen (maybe the greatest). When there was a free-kick we celebrated early because we knew that will end in the back of the net 😌 The biggest legend of our club Thanks for the vid !❤💙
You’re a true storyteller, capturing emotions in every tale you share. The videos of Bolasie and Christian Atsu genuinely moved me to tears. The one about Atsu, especially, struck a chord; when my wife asked why I was crying, I explained it was because I had just witnessed a beautiful story of a player I admired, one whose journey ended so tragically. Thank you for all the work you put in. Every Saturday, I look forward to your videos. If I may, I'd love to see one on Di Natale, my all-time favorite player. Thank you, DDOF.
I was born in 1993. This guy has never been anyone that you think of as I of the best when we were growing up. Luckily for us, WE KNEW this guy was one of the best in the world at Lyon. In all my years, I have not come across a player like him ever since. He was just too good. Ps. I have never missed a close range free kick from him on PES 04-05 ong
@@Joshflemin Well both him and CR7 scored a lot of goals that;s true but their technique is actually bad , Juninho had the best technique FK ever (some people claim Carioca had a better technique but idk about that ) but still Messi even tho he scored so many FK goals i dont think its top 10 when its come to technique just from the top of my mind i think Ronaldinho , Mihajlovic , Hagi , Beckam , Zico , Platini , Maradona had a way better technique , i spend a lot of hours trying to understand how ppl like Juninho , Mihajlovic or Hagi can hit those FK and i just dont understand all of them could make the ball have no rotation but still drop dead while having enormous amount of power
The most important chapters of football history have already been written in our generation and in front of our eyes. We were very lucky to see the greatest player ever in Messi, the greatest set piece master in Juninho, the player with the most international goals in Cristiano Ronaldo, the defender with the most goals in Sergio Ramos, the greatest manager of all time in Pep Guardiola and the greatest midfield player of all time in Kevin De Bruyne. They can never ever be surpassed.
@@belkacembelghache yeah, I heard about Iniesta, he was surrounded by 3 of the 5 best midfield players of his generation and succeeded with Xavi, Sergio Busquets and temporarily with Cesc Fabregas as well. He is not as adaptable as Kevin De Bruyne and cannot match his record amount of assists per season, nor his creativity in terms of chances created. Iniesta had a ballon d'or team mate named Lionel Messi. KDB didn't have any ballon d'or and has been successful with over 10 different team mates, 3 different managers and managed to win the champions league without the GOAT in football. In his 2 best seasons KDB had 16 & 18 Assists respectively and scored over 10 goals in 2 consecutive league seasons while Iniesta's record is 8 goals in a year. His assist ratio is half of KDB. At age 33, KDB is still in the premier league and not playing for Vitesse Kobe in Japan. Next time you want to start a conversation or debate, start it like a man. No need to resort to sarcasm like an American clown comedian. You brought zero stats, no argument, only a spoiled teenage girl attitude. Have good day.
I still remember watching that free-kick goal against Barcelona, utter masterpiece. I swear by that Juninho is the greatest free-kick taker the world has ever seen. Bought a Vasco da Gama shirt just because of him.
Juninho Pernambucano sir is a legendary free kick taker and I have seen him so many times during my childhood days and his career with Vasco Da Gama and Olympique Lyon were ever memorable,good friends!!!LONG LIVE,JUNINHO PERNAMBUCANO SIR!!!🏋️♂️
I was young when juninho returned to vasco, and I knew the great things he achieved with lyon, but I never thought much of it, and reading the comments of the french mates, gave me the feeling that he was truly someone special. I've never seen his prime, but his aura and play will always be on my mind. And I think vasco's song about his freekick against river will always give me goosebumps. Incredible video, thanks for that content
*O Bebeto sempre foi subestimado* ! Mesmo quando jogavam no Vasco da Gama, os jogadores de maiores sucessos eram seus companheiros Romário e Edmundo, além do Juninho Paulista e o juninho Pernambucano!
I remember watching Juninho free kick videos in my attic with our terrible dial up internet. Him, Beckham, Ronaldinho were all my inspirations in my early days of football. He’s so incredible. He’s a walking highlight reel!
in brazil he's second or third in popular opinion. marcelinho caioca is considered the best ever in juninho's home. it's common to see people saying Zico is the second too
In 2002, you'd be playing against (prime) R9, Rivaldo and Ronaldinho and not only that, Juninho and young Kaka are coming off the bench in the second half.
@Chadner wow. My bad. I thought it was the same guy. I was also wondering why his 'Middlesbrough stint' didn't get mentioned in this vid. I'm leaving my comment unedited though.
The funny part about the 2002 team was that both Ronaldo and Rivaldo weren’t in their prime. Ronaldinho was still rising up, Kaka was too young. And Scolari didn’t even called Romario. Now, both Cafú & Roberto Carlos were in their prime, also Keeper Marcos was too.
I would say both Ronaldo and Rivaldo were past their prime, though still great level. Still, as a brazilian there are no words to describe how we all miss that era...
@@austinedeclan10 haha i use to play winning eleven and i'd always get confuse with the Juninho's because for sure one is shorter and speedster than the other. Thats the only different you can tell. Obviously the taller one is good at free kick
Should've been more prominent in the Brazilian NT but as deep lying playmaker supporting the two Ronaldos, Rivaldo, and Ricardo instead of his natural position of full-fledged attacking midfielder. His defensive work rate was often underappreciated and thus I think it would've easily worked. Could've added so much layers if he was featured more in such talented team. Think somebody like Dunga but with better passing, playmaking, and set piece ability (the latter was even better than Ronaldo Assis).
I remember playing Pro Evolution Soccer 2009 / 2010 back on my Wii. I used to check out some different clubs to play with and one time I got into playing as Lyon. When I looked at the stats for the players I saw Juninho's insane accuracy stats and sure as day I put him down for my standards. He netted 3 Free Kicks in that game alone and many more as I simply fell in love with his free kicks. Only later I found out that he literally was this insane in real life as well! Definitely my favorite player of all time
Hands down the best free kick taker of my generation. The Bayern Munich and Werder Bremen goals are the best I have seen. Love the Lyon chant for him…. Juninho lalala Pernambucano Thank you for doing a video on him.
Believe it or not, Marcelinho Carioca was even better. He had a deeper bag, could shoot off more distances and from three foot or inside. He's the top free kick scorer in the world
One of my favourite players of all time. His technique at FKs at Lyon are a sight to behold. Ronaldinho, Juninho Pernambucano, Berbatov plus an honourable mention for Jay-Jay. My favourite players of that era above anyone else. I'm a bit of a fan of the player that can conjure up the unknown, the unthought of and the impossible.
He used to play for Vasco da Gama, rival of my team Flamengo, anyway , I was always a fan of this magnificent player, humble and intelligent man , he’s a true gentleman ❤ I’m glad I could watch him playing at Maracanã , many times
this guy's videos are the most thorough out there. I just love them but I think it's hilarious the way he speaks as though he had been shot on the belly but had to deliver that message no matter what.
DDoF, you're a better poet than Shakespeare. Juninho might have a sniper rifle where his right foot is supposed to be, but you have a fountain pen where your tongue is supposed to be. Hands down the best football RUclipsr there is 🔥
Juninho Pernambucano is today one of Vasco da Gama's biggest idols 💢 He scored the historic goal against River Plate in the semi-final, which made the player star in our main song during the games "Contra o River Plate, sensacional. Gol do Juninho! Monumental 🎶" It's great to see channels from other places grateful for Juninho's football, which revolutionized France with Lyon. Obrigado pelo vídeo 🇧🇷
Juninho is a legend. A very intelligent player, one of most progressive figures in Brazilian football. He acts as commentator from time to time, only on RUclips channels now because networkds have banned him since he openly critizes the misguided conservatism so prevalent in Brazilian policits. The man is an icon, a true hero!
he got booted from his gig as a commentator because he criticized "setoristas" who are Brazilian professionals who work for the press by providing dedicated coverage of a specific team from the sidelines.
As you mentioned Corinthians sometimes, you could talk about one of the most important players of this club: Marcelinho carioca "pé de anjo" (angel's foot). Hes also one of the top free kick scorers in history!
The only man who had the same power as Juninho to scare defenders to give away fouls I, as a Botafogo fan, hated the guy, he was annoying, a diva, one of the worst in divers I've seen but no one who saw can deny that he was absolutely diabolical on the field and no one, not even Juninho, can claim to be clearly a better FK taker.
@herrerasauro7429 verdade mano, eu não cheguei a ver ele jogando, mas meu pai me fala muito dele com brilho no olho, e isso me fez pesquisar muito, hoje me inspiro em jogadas dele
@@paulo12348 kkkkkkkkkkk juninho marcava gols de falta contra os maiores goleiros/times do mundo, enquanto o marcelinho marcava contra o XV de piracicaba
Juninho was amazing. I'm sure he would've got closer to a Ballon d'Or if he played for Barca or Real but he made a great era for Lyon which will make him a saint in that city forever.
I would like to highlight a personal piece of information, however, that no one comments, it is about this team from Vasco da Gama, which Juninho Pernambucano was part of. This lineup is the greatest team ever assembled in the twenty-first century. This team was simply deadly and had the best players of the period and many others who came to be consecrated. Simply unforgettable.
And the craziest thing is, Juninho was not Vasco's prefered player from that Sport squad. Vasco signed him alongside Sport's Striker Leonardo, but could not afford the payment so one of them had to go back to Sport. Juninho offered to go back, but Sport insisted on Leonardo. Juninho stayed in Vasco and made history.
The goat, watching Ligue 1 just for him back then, Lyon was an incredible team in the 2000s, veeeery pleasant to watch, a shame they couldn’t win a UCL
My Physical Education teacher until high school was his sister (Betinha). Ricardo Rocha was born in my hood and used to play against my uncle on the football fields. I am a Sport Recife fan and a former athlete of the club... Man, his life intersected with mine a lot.
As a cule, I remember 2009 when we dominated all aspects of football and when we faced Lyon, I knew it would be like taking a walk. What I never expected was that free kick from Juninho, since then I became his fan. The guy is the goat of free kicks, and there will be no other like him. With fewer games than Messi and Ronaldo, he is the best free-kick taker in history.
@@DailyDoseOfFootballYTCould you make one about Coutinho (The golden left foot), i dont know mutch about his history but here in Brazil he is a legend, he played with Pele in the 50’s. Talking about Brazil 50’s, there are a lot of talents there.
Hands down the best free kick taker ever... Juninho. And you have some random kids saying Messi and Ronaldo are better than taking free kicks than Juninho... I still remember his free kick against Barcelona with that ridiculous angle. Juninho is probably the most underrated player ever... Thank you for bringing light to this story.
Amazing video! I understand that Serie A strikes your videos, so I'll stop asking for the Inzaghi video 🤣 Maybe make a video on Didier Deschamps? The original water carrier 6 who had "no talent" but was the true anchor of his team.
Can you talk about Paulo Roberto Falcão? From leading Internacional to the only unbeaten victory in the brazilean championship to being a step away of conquering Europe with Rome, he's one of the best Registas of all time for sure
One of the best midfiled in modern history (and surely the best freekicker !) ! The fact that he stayed in Lyon for so long shows that this man is one of his kind.
I was a goalkeeper for Al Gharafa's U19 team when Juninho played there and trained with the first team a couple of times, even being in goal while he practiced his ferocious freekicks. He'd put so much pace and swerve on the ball, there wasn't even a point trying to save it half the time. Honored to have had the experience, and to save a few of them 😂
Back in the good ol'days. Nowadays this guy would be the main name in the brazilian national team but back then he was just a very good player among many in the team, when the seleção was THE SELEÇÃO. We miss exceptional guys like him.
As noted in the video, he was so dominant at free kicks that teams had to come up with new tactics to try defend his free kicks in Ligue 1. As Fred noted, teams became more cautious with their fouling.
in 2000 when i was a kid who believe that Beckham is the best freekick taker. and then i found out Highlight videos from ligue1 i got my jawdroped this guy is sureal. Magic
I wish ea would give this man a hero card he definitely deserves it, people only downplay him because he played most of his football in France and not a top European team but he’s the greatest freekick taker of all time 🤦♂️
Hey buddy, I grew up in England during Beckham's manchester united/ England captain days. He was my favourite player and he is truly one of the greatest ever free kick takers in history. As much as I dislike Brazil (because of the fans and not the players), Juninho Pernambucano can NEVER BE MATCHED ON FREE KICKS. Eternal GOAT of set-pieces. Unlike David Beckham, Lionel Messi and Michel Plattini, Juninho had NO RANGE LIMIT. I saw him score from 41 yards and a week later from 37. The following season, he scored two free kicks in the same game and both from exactly 34 yards. One in each half (he only attempted two direct free kicks in that game and scored both).
Pode saber que é recíproco não gostar da Inglaterra, arrogantes, mal educados e pensam ser um ser especial porque "criou" o futebol. Tem um título decente na história, só 66 e muito suspeito aquela campanha. Só um título de relevante mesmo assim são arrogantes, mas europeus, não dá pra esperar muita coisa de vocês. Só o Endrick em seus maiores delírios citou Bobby como ídolo dele e Bellingham melhor que Neymar (Bellingham inclusive nem inglês é de "verdade"), Endrick jogador que fala o que os acessores escrevem e mandam falar, de modo artificial sem personalidade pra parecer um "bom moço". Não gostar da Inglaterra e de ingleses é legítima defesa, a arrogância fede há quilômetros.
Juninho‘s Freekicks were honestly like penalties for other players. Absolutely unreal freekick taker ! For me, he‘s the master of the knuckle ball. The way he embarassed Oliver Kahn and the way he scored against Pep‘s Barça who would end up becoming sextuple winners will always remain legendary.
People remember him because of his FK - Which is fair because he IS the GOAT on that category - but he was a all around genius. What he achieved with Lyon is unprecedented. You can't achieve that only on freekicks.
only reason why Juninho is so overlook around the world is because he played with the 3 R's (ronaldo, ronaldinho, rivaldo) and also played with Romario, Edmund, and other that were the Best of their time. People in europe forget about him, but brasilians know Juninho pretty well, it was a terror evertime he kicked. PS: would be amazing if you make a video about Rogerio Ceni, one of the best goalkeepers ever, made more than 100 goals, destroyed many world competition, AND played for the same team since the begining (são paulo)
Juninho. The best set piece specialist I've ever seen. You have a better chance of saving a penalty from him than to save a free kick. Messi, Beckham, Hakan, Ward Prowse, Ronaldo, Henry and Pirlo have nothing on him in free kicks.
I'm french and Juninho is the player that made me love football. I was a kid when he traumatized ligue 1, and i'm really thankfull that you put some light on a player that is so often easilly described as just a free kick scorer when he was much more important and skillfull than that.
I watched the 2022 cup live where he was also casting and doing analytics. He also has tremendous insight, everything he said happened after, from players leaving and subbing to where attacks would happen. He'll probably become a coach in the future.
@kyokusanagi9800 he had a very rough experience at Lyon as sporting director, i don't know if he wants to have a manager job. I think he's biggest problem is that he is an honest man who values given words,and those qualities does not goes along with the way football clubs are rulled, at least in France (and i doubt it's better in brasil)

He acts as commentator from time to time, only on RUclips channels now because networkds have banned him since he openly critizes the misguided conservatism so prevalent in Brazilian policits. The man is an icon, a true hero!
Lol
@@criminalmind27 I like Juninho but unfortunately he supports the corrupts, in my view he is naive and not a crook
he got booted from his gig as a commentator because he criticized "setoristas" who are Brazilian professionals who work for the press by providing dedicated coverage of a specific team from the sidelines.
Even his family avoided him when his leftist militancy behavior got extreme. Despite that, he was a great player.
imagine being conservative😂 juninho is right
At Vasco da Gama we call him our Little King. Top 3 of our biggest idols
Man these videos are top class. You have an excellent voice and way of telling these stories!
As you mentioned Corinthians sometimes, you could talk about one of the most important players of this club: Marcelinho carioca "pé de anjo" (angel's foot). Hes also one of the top free kick scorers in history!
The only man who had the same power as Juninho to scare defenders to give away fouls
I, as a Botafogo fan, hated the guy, he was annoying, a diva, one of the worst in divers I've seen but no one who saw can deny that he was absolutely diabolical on the field and no one, not even Juninho, can claim to be clearly a better FK taker.
@herrerasauro7429 verdade mano, eu não cheguei a ver ele jogando, mas meu pai me fala muito dele com brilho no olho, e isso me fez pesquisar muito, hoje me inspiro em jogadas dele
The world’s top 1 free kicker, Juninho the second, very close!
Corinthians is my balls
@@paulo12348 kkkkkkkkkkk juninho marcava gols de falta contra os maiores goleiros/times do mundo, enquanto o marcelinho marcava contra o XV de piracicaba
What a beautiful piece. Thanks for putting this together.
I really do enjoy saturday mornings because of your videos, thanks dude.
You do what makes this game great, you tell a beautiful story.
You've hit your stride. Keep up the great work.
Juninho was just a baller.
This is an incredible watch.
Thank you for all you do!
Juninho was amazing. I'm sure he would've got closer to a Ballon d'Or if he played for Barca or Real but he made a great era for Lyon which will make him a saint in that city forever.
Great player. One of the best I've ever seen. Intelligent, skillful and good character.
This channel is the true GOAT. Where does all this incredible archival footage come from for these videos?!
I would like to highlight a personal piece of information, however, that no one comments, it is about this team from Vasco da Gama, which Juninho Pernambucano was part of. This lineup is the greatest team ever assembled in the twenty-first century. This team was simply deadly and had the best players of the period and many others who came to be consecrated. Simply unforgettable.
Great video and great storytelling, by the way.
Thank you daily dose of football for this upload. Muchas Gracias.
the best storyteller in youtube for far; you are fantastic, man.
And the craziest thing is, Juninho was not Vasco's prefered player from that Sport squad. Vasco signed him alongside Sport's Striker Leonardo, but could not afford the payment so one of them had to go back to Sport. Juninho offered to go back, but Sport insisted on Leonardo. Juninho stayed in Vasco and made history.
Juninho is my spirit animal, inspired me so much not only on the field.
The goat, watching Ligue 1 just for him back then, Lyon was an incredible team in the 2000s, veeeery pleasant to watch, a shame they couldn’t win a UCL
Juninho Pernambucano. The first difficult footballer name I learned when I was a kid. Those kicks are like guided missiles. Unmatched till now.
My Physical Education teacher until high school was his sister (Betinha). Ricardo Rocha was born in my hood and used to play against my uncle on the football fields. I am a Sport Recife fan and a former athlete of the club... Man, his life intersected with mine a lot.
As a cule, I remember 2009 when we dominated all aspects of football and when we faced Lyon, I knew it would be like taking a walk. What I never expected was that free kick from Juninho, since then I became his fan. The guy is the goat of free kicks, and there will be no other like him. With fewer games than Messi and Ronaldo, he is the best free-kick taker in history.
Respect for this man. He didn’t chase the money, he was loyal through and through
Great video, as usual, and I hope you consider making a video about ENZO FRANCESCOLI more people need to know about him.
been on my list for years, just never happened
@@DailyDoseOfFootballYTCould you make one about Coutinho (The golden left foot), i dont know mutch about his history but here in Brazil he is a legend, he played with Pele in the 50’s. Talking about Brazil 50’s, there are a lot of talents there.
My grandpa whos 90 requested u do dennis law. I told him about you, and he said u had real ball knowledge lol. ur a great yt, keep it up
brilliant video. could you do one about the other juninho. the middlesbrough one. juninho paulista
where's the eyes emoji when you need it
@@DailyDoseOfFootballYT both players are class
I am from Pernambuco, and what he did with Sport and Vasco, was legendary!
Hands down the best free kick taker ever... Juninho. And you have some random kids saying Messi and Ronaldo are better than taking free kicks than Juninho... I still remember his free kick against Barcelona with that ridiculous angle. Juninho is probably the most underrated player ever... Thank you for bringing light to this story.
Yes they are better juninho was always in trash leagued
@adityadas6638 no ball knowledge 🤣 ☝️
@@chill.man12 shut up barcelona butchered this overrated Brazilian in UCL 🤣
@@adityadas6638 obvious rage bait, no time for some idiotic things like this and people like you😭🙏
@chill.man12 obviously u are an ignorant trash can't accept juninho was a mediocre player
Nice vids the soo listen to this hits different
The Best football channel of youtube!
Com esse sotaque eu presumo que tu é BR mano kkkk
Parabéns pelos excelentes vídeos!
Amazing video! I understand that Serie A strikes your videos, so I'll stop asking for the Inzaghi video 🤣
Maybe make a video on Didier Deschamps? The original water carrier 6 who had "no talent" but was the true anchor of his team.
Deschamps was Makelele before Makelele. Similar playing style and physical stature.
one of the few players that's universally loved by fans worldwide
and he made his name in history, the greatest free kick taker of all time
Amazing to see how you seem to respect and know brazilian football, with great images e stories well told!
Please tell the story of Bobby Firmino 🙏. You're a wonderful story teller.
Can you talk about Paulo Roberto Falcão? From leading Internacional to the only unbeaten victory in the brazilean championship to being a step away of conquering Europe with Rome, he's one of the best Registas of all time for sure
One of the best midfiled in modern history (and surely the best freekicker !) ! The fact that he stayed in Lyon for so long shows that this man is one of his kind.
Ronald Koeman, R. Carlos and Juninho are Golden Era elite level Freekick specialists.. 🐐
I was a goalkeeper for Al Gharafa's U19 team when Juninho played there and trained with the first team a couple of times, even being in goal while he practiced his ferocious freekicks. He'd put so much pace and swerve on the ball, there wasn't even a point trying to save it half the time. Honored to have had the experience, and to save a few of them 😂
Maneira! What a great player and great human being. In near future (and yes there is a free kick connection here) please feature Dirceu!
Great video!
Back in the good ol'days. Nowadays this guy would be the main name in the brazilian national team but back then he was just a very good player among many in the team, when the seleção was THE SELEÇÃO. We miss exceptional guys like him.
Great, Amazing player. I am from Pernambuco like him, so greeting from Recife, Pernambuco.
What an ending !!!😭…Bravo Bravo👏🏼
my childhood idol! Reizinho da Colina!!!
im glad to see Juninho getting recoignition
I have no words to express how good he was. Most underrated player ever
As noted in the video, he was so dominant at free kicks that teams had to come up with new tactics to try defend his free kicks in Ligue 1.
As Fred noted, teams became more cautious with their fouling.
in 2000 when i was a kid who believe that Beckham is the best freekick taker. and then i found out Highlight videos from ligue1 i got my jawdroped this guy is sureal. Magic
“ you can say your goodbyes, you won’t be here for long “
Holy f*** imagine hearing that!!
🔥
HE WAS AN AMAZING PLAYER.🔥.
You can think of at least 5 brazilian FKs legends before thinking of Messi and CR7
Juninho, Marcelinho, Zico, Rogerio Ceni, Pelé
Se for contar o Roberto Dinamite também entra nessa lista, fez muito gol de falta.
"heyheyhey juninho is our king" rhymes in portuguese, btw lol
I wish ea would give this man a hero card he definitely deserves it, people only downplay him because he played most of his football in France and not a top European team but he’s the greatest freekick taker of all time 🤦♂️
Hey buddy, I grew up in England during Beckham's manchester united/ England captain days. He was my favourite player and he is truly one of the greatest ever free kick takers in history. As much as I dislike Brazil (because of the fans and not the players), Juninho Pernambucano can NEVER BE MATCHED ON FREE KICKS. Eternal GOAT of set-pieces. Unlike David Beckham, Lionel Messi and Michel Plattini, Juninho had NO RANGE LIMIT. I saw him score from 41 yards and a week later from 37. The following season, he scored two free kicks in the same game and both from exactly 34 yards. One in each half (he only attempted two direct free kicks in that game and scored both).
Pode saber que é recíproco não gostar da Inglaterra, arrogantes, mal educados e pensam ser um ser especial porque "criou" o futebol. Tem um título decente na história, só 66 e muito suspeito aquela campanha. Só um título de relevante mesmo assim são arrogantes, mas europeus, não dá pra esperar muita coisa de vocês. Só o Endrick em seus maiores delírios citou Bobby como ídolo dele e Bellingham melhor que Neymar (Bellingham inclusive nem inglês é de "verdade"), Endrick jogador que fala o que os acessores escrevem e mandam falar, de modo artificial sem personalidade pra parecer um "bom moço". Não gostar da Inglaterra e de ingleses é legítima defesa, a arrogância fede há quilômetros.
Please make a video on Lucas Vazquez 🙏🏻. He’s an underrated Madrid legend
Vasco will never forget.
He's a god in Lyon, France.
Contra o River Plate sensacional, gol do Juninho, monumental 💢💢💢 me emocionei vendo a parte da libertadores do vascão
Juninho is in all my years the best free kick taker ive ever seen.
Hard to decide between him and Becks, same era, remember these discussions as a teenager when these 2 were smashing it
Best Free kick taker ever, and it's not even close
Marcelinho Carioca. They were both the best free kickers soccer ever seen play.
Nice video as always bro! Can you do a video on van der vaart please
Juninho era uma máquina em gols de falta! Monstro!!
Juninho‘s Freekicks were honestly like penalties for other players. Absolutely unreal freekick taker ! For me, he‘s the master of the knuckle ball. The way he embarassed Oliver Kahn and the way he scored against Pep‘s Barça who would end up becoming sextuple winners will always remain legendary.
People remember him because of his FK - Which is fair because he IS the GOAT on that category - but he was a all around genius. What he achieved with Lyon is unprecedented. You can't achieve that only on freekicks.
I've never seen a video about Jardel, he deserves to be remembered.
only reason why Juninho is so overlook around the world is because he played with the 3 R's (ronaldo, ronaldinho, rivaldo) and also played with Romario, Edmund, and other that were the Best of their time.
People in europe forget about him, but brasilians know Juninho pretty well, it was a terror evertime he kicked.
PS: would be amazing if you make a video about Rogerio Ceni, one of the best goalkeepers ever, made more than 100 goals, destroyed many world competition, AND played for the same team since the begining (são paulo)
Imagine playing against Brazil's old squad a commit a foul... You'd face only Juninho, Ronaldinho or Roberto Carlos.
Juninho. The best set piece specialist I've ever seen. You have a better chance of saving a penalty from him than to save a free kick. Messi, Beckham, Hakan, Ward Prowse, Ronaldo, Henry and Pirlo have nothing on him in free kicks.
Putting Lyon on the MAP. Crazy work 🥶
