yeah i agree but if you watch all mancity matches all 90 minutes u would see sometimes hes too casul with the ball coming in and it goes past him for a throw in. you dont see that with other players much. as bernardo said taking the touch into space and utilising it to dribble or shoot is his best capability, but he needs to be a little more serious when hes just going to take the ball in and protect it
@@885u wouldnt say terrible, hes great at passing and has good chemistry with kyle,foden and kdb, and also handles pressure well,almost wins a foul everytime. but yeah not very fast or good at pressing unlike others
Bernardo Silva is probably the most consistent player across all the seasons he has been with City. He was heavily linked with a move away to Barcelona not so long ago. Never once did you hear about how unhappy he is whatsoever. Unbelievable player and great mentality.
As an American, I have friends who don't follow football and when I show them Riyad's touches they say the ball just loses its gravity and dies at his feet, its ridiculous.
That doesn’t make sense. If you lose gravity, the ball would hit his foot and float away. I think they mean it loses momentum as soon as it touches his feet.
Its like the ball loses his air pressure inside loses the bouncing ability xd not the gravity hahaha if it loses the gravity it would never stomps on the pitch. Rather than that it floats.
Bernardo has a lot of interesting insights into the highest technical level of football. Most top players tend to use bland soundbites or clichés, but he appears to have the language to explain how things work technically. I would like to hear more from him about playing for Man City etc
@@885u bruh the only thing mahrez lacks in is physical and speed and pressing other than that he's valuable addition to the team the only player on the team that is a more intelligent passer than him is KDB .

lol first touch doesn’t mean everything lmao, the best players in each generation rarely possessed exceptional first touch, your comment has no point, and you dont need good first touch to be talented
Riyad Mahrez has the best first touch I've ever seen! He edges the other players I'd put on that list simply because of how often he does it. I feel like his teammates send him long balls just to watch him do it. lol
Oh my God, stop using "underrated" for everything. The man plays for Man City, one of the best teams in the world if not the best team. He is all over RUclips and the Internet. Just because Kevin de Bruyne is more often in the spotlight, doesn't mean Mahrez is underrated.
@Bonjai not really dude Just seeing jack grelish with low stats getting appreciated more than Mahrez make me sick The worst season Mahrez have is better than the best grealish season
perhaps, you only have ever watched Manchester City's matches cuz there are several players with a far better touch. Riyad is good but nowhere good enough that be he known as a specialist of this technical skill. Zidane, Berbatov and Bergkamp all had a much better touch
@@ansharora2231 Mahrez is the best at it not because i said so because it's a fact and many football experts analysts said the same thing perhaps u never seen mahrez play

I understand that Cancelo is no longer a City player anymore but he had a very good 1st touch also, probably the closest one to Riyad's tbh. but yeah I agree with Bernardo's List 💯
He is... Cancelo has been loaned out. He has to come back to us if bayern dont want to buy him. Plus there are talks in germany that he isnt happy there. (Surprise surprise) and Bayern dont want to buy him at the end of his loan agreement.
I agree with the list. Before the video even started I said. Well Riyad is at the top by himself in this squad. EASY. Then the rest. Riyads first touch is top tier across all of football. The ball just stops dead and stays glued to his feet, ridiculous skill.
Even as a rival fan I can appreciate what an unbelievable first touch Mahrez has. Controlling the ball like that with the studs as it drops down is not easy but he makes it look easy.
Yeah I'm a Liverpool fan.. Mahrez is one of the best first touchers at the moment Foden is mad too but Mahrez is just crazy.. I'm a Liverpool fan.. but I'm fan of the beautiful game too ..I like Bernardo, KDB, Mahrez and Gondugan .. Nothing wrong with that I used to like Giggs and many rival players.. Like for instance.. who hates Iniesta.. even Madrid fans can't really hate him.. I like Bernardo even he hates Liverpool.. but I like his talent
The level is so hight between these amazing world class players and riyad first touch May be the best in city but not Just...it"s the best in the world
I am a Chelsea fan... B.Silva is so honest when it comes to this but I think Foden first touch is something else. He should have been there with Mahrez.
We really needed Haaland. After Foden's control Haaland would have rushed to push that ball in. And King Riyadh always have the best first touch😩😂😂❤️💙... Then Foden
@@essaghiramine I agree Ederson might very well have a better first touch than him but "a beast at everything else" is an overstatement. For a guy his height he could be way better at headers. His passing abilities can be improved as well as many other aspect of his game..
@@naofumisamaX Regarding headers, i'd like for him to try to use his head instead of his foot when the ball is at head level. He doesn't trust enough his heading ability currently so he tries crazy jump kicks which as spectacular as they can be aren't as reliable as headers...
Bernardo is just so sweet man.... I just love this guy.... All Man City players are so fking humble and feel so much like family.... I love how they've come to become a unison....
Mahrez can always stop any ball motion. I believe that is one of the most important skill for wingers as they often received cross. The list is very accurate
Even as a Liverpool fan, there is nobody to compete with Mahrez.. none.. this was real honesty

Not like Salah. Mahrez is superior to Salah
Mahrez's first touch is way better than Messi and Salah. He's on Berbatov or Bergkamp level.
