Sammer is one of the best defensive players I've ever seen. His calmness under pressure and his interceptions were amazing... his partnership with Kohler for Germany and Dortmund is one of the strongest there's ever been... there's not enough footage of Sammer on RUclips... Thanks for sharing this video 👍
You could completely throw away playing counter attacks when Matthias Sammer wasn't in your team. He would intercept literally anything coming his way....often intercepting - workd class pass - another player gets the ball....pass....striker makes the goal. He was a Libero, holding midfielder with an outrageous tactical intelligence. I always describe Sammer as 60% Beckenbauer and 40% Matthäus in one body....with the hunger to win like Oliver Kahn. At Borussia Dortmund and the EM1996 he was absolutely phenomenal and the main reason Germany won the EM trophy and Dortmund won not only the Champions League but kept FC Bayern München at bay...and Bayern München was investing in a world class coaches like Trapattoni or Rehagel....but players like Kahn, Matthäus, Helmer, Babbel, Strunz, Scholl, Klinsmann, Herzog, Sforza, Papin etc etc etc weren't able to beat Sammer and Zorc leading this BVB. The defense line Sammer - Kohler - Julio Cesar was behind AC Milan in terms of greatness. An unreal hard to play trio with Reuter and Freund making it even harder to beat this incredible Hitzfeld Dortmund.
In World cup 1998 Sammer was injured,then Germany failed against Croatia in quarter final.Iam sure if sammer was not injured in the world cup germany would have been in the final match against brazil
I agree with you! At the World Cup 1998, the German national team did not have many players.. There was no Dieter Еilts Mehmet Scholl, there was no Freddie Bobich and Stefan Kuntz.. But most importantly, Matthias Sammer was not there, and in my opinion, this determined the fate of the entire German national team..
Sammer was my favourite defender of the mid-90s. Loved watching him play. He was phenomenal!

Kohler Sammer Cesar... At that point, Borussia was the best team on the globe.
Sammer is also one of the best offensively
He deserves to be listed in fifa 100 as well as in world soccer magazine.

I modeled my style of play cause of him, his style was priceless
Read the game like a novel
the best libero in germany's history after beckenbauer
his defending skill is even better than Beckenbauer
Best defender of 1996

Sammer made the best longballs ever. Not even Matthäus reaches his skill level.
Germany would have won the world cup in 98 if Sammer had played
. He was the best player in the world before he got injured
Interesting that he started as a striker and switched positions later on in his career
euro 96' hero
❤
He’s ginger
Great compile.. please make Theo Zagorakis in Euro 2004, Xavi in Euro 2008
Sammer is the futbolistic son of Beckenbauer
El que le robo el balon de Oro a Nazarío por un solo punto. Ronaldo Balon de Oro 96'
