From the streets of São Paulo to the most expensive player in the world, the teenage progidy became a global talking point overnight and rightly so. His unbelieveable natural talent had earned him not only the Real Betis transfer to break O Fenomeno's record, but the nickname 'The Next Garrincha'.
Overshadowed across the decades since his prime, Denílson is now a relatively unknown figure, despite being a key figure in Brazil's 1990s Golden Generation.

I understand that outside of Brazil , Denilson was kinda forgotten, but in Brazil he’s still part of our lives , even people who didn’t watch him as a player (like young kids) know and loves him, he’s an analyst on a Tv show , and he’s a pure entertainer, one of the funniest guys on Tv , I really love Denilson
Thank you for making my Friday, Retro! I used to dream of being Denilson when I was a fringe player in my high school team.
You are so welcome!
@@theretroroute You're the best RetroRoute :)
I still remember Denilson from World Cup 98, as that was the time I started watching football (I had an early start). Brilliant video, as always ⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽
He was unreal in championship manager I think it was 2001 😂
Brazilians and Declining too young always seem to mix so often.
Probably the reason why Pele was so great. He never declined by anything but age.
Pele was a pioneer when it comes to a football player being a true elite athlete. At that time it was common for players to smoke, to be overweight, and Pele was an example of an athlete.
@@tnsnts Stop lying
@@No-wc6hw what's the lie?
@@tnsnts Name the players who used to smoke
@@No-wc6hw Garrincha used to smoke and also was alcoholic (died from Cirrhosis)
Cruyff used to smoke (Died of lung cancer)
Socrates used to smoke and was an alcoholic (Died from alcohol-related problems)
George Best
Jack Charlton
Gerson (Brazil midfielder in the 1970 WC)
Michel Platini
Jimmy Greaves
And even players of the current times who have already been photographed smoking.
It is undeniable that Pele was an example of an athlete and was far ahead of his time. He was the Cristiano Ronaldo of the 20th century in those terms of professionalism and to be a complete and dedicated athlete
Fantastic video, Denilson was the step over king!
You deserve more subs
Your content is excellent
Especially the narration
Keep it up
I WAS JUST THINKING ABOUT THIS CHANNEL. THANKS FOR THE DROP BRO. PLAYERS FROM MY ERA.
When I was a kid, Denilson was my favorite player on that 1998 WC. I had just learned how to do a stepover and oh man...once I saw him in that Nike commercial I thought he was so cool! I wanted to BE Denilson Lol. 😅😆
Another cracking video! Glad to see you've got a sponsor too! Moving on up! :)
Still waiting for that Cambiasso video lol
Great video and detailed explanation. Wow. Good!
Another great video, very-consistent
Keep up the good work mate 😃 love it
Thanks, will do!
Thanks for the video
You bet
Btw, he said in an interview that he was hurt in 2002, constantly lying to the coach saying he was ok so he wouldn't get cut from the team
Remember this transfer story and the fee involved and thinking who the hell are Betis, let alone who was Denlison?
But everyone thought he must be amazing, if this club have paid that for him.
Brazil players are the ones with most potential always and same time most who don't reach it
😢 I was R9 and Denilson as a kid playing football
Your content is so amazing...and I would love to know what the intro song is
This is brilliant.. please can you do a video on Guti,
Awww No wonder I like him as a player. Garrincha was a legend and truly inspiring!
I remember watching Real Betis in them days hoping to see some magic from Denilson. Only to be bored stiff.
I remember this player,most people thought he would have been a left footed Garrincha.He was just so gifted,speed,dribbling skill,great first touch and he had a wonderful left foot.I seem to remember that he could also take freekicks.He had all the qualities to be one of the Brazilian greats but he lacked the ability to finish.He became an entertainer on the football field,he probably should have remained in Brazil for a few years,matured and then headed for Europe around the age of 24.It's really a pity that a player like Denilson,so technically gifted,never realized his full potential.In the end he was reduced to becoming an entertainer or a player the coach would bring on just to run the clock down.It really is a tragedy that this player did not achieve football greatness because his talent was never in doubt.
Since Betis is my favourite squad and Denílson taught me to love football, I admire his pure flair and technique, but to be honest, he was really irregular and his lack of tactical concepts were his greatest weaknesses
Can't talk about Denison coz he won everything for Brazilian national team
I was wondering who he was, thank you.
Could you do a video about Michael Rensing? He was supposed to be the next Oliver Kahn but failed to live up to his expectations.
essentially he blagged a 10 year contract by looking good in an advert
The guy who convinced him to transfer to betis is really to blame
Giovanni (hull) is a good story
Can you do the story of Higuain or Cavani
He was similar to present day Dembele... I might be wrong... But the similarities are way too much 🤩
Great little player on Championship Manager!
Was it an alternative to PES and FIFA back in the day ?
Should never have gone to Real Betis.
He was like okacha,skillful and talented however not much a goal scorer and proper not very good passer
LAHM
He was just a normal Brazilian that was finished by 32. Dinho, R9, kaka, roberto carlos, you name it...
The players you mentioned though were bonafide world class players. Most of them won the balon d’Or. And none of them were as hyped as Denilson was.
@@SonnyK248 r9 was, at inter he was the best itw
@@parisp2583 I didn’t see R9. Of course he had more hype. But Denilson came in with more hype than Kaka and Ronaldinho. He was a world record transfer coming out of Brazil which was known as a place to pick up players on the cheap. R9 only cost PSV 5 million a few years before. So Betis parting with more than 20 million for a guy out of the Brazilian league who was barely 20 was insanity. He was expected to be at R9’s level but he was bang average as opposed to Kaka and Ronaldinho who won balon dors.
@@SonnyK248 very true
@@SonnyK248 Denilson had the talent and potential to become great, just probably not the intangibles(desire, mentality, work ethic, etc), also definitely the wrong club choice going to Betis.
