Ayyo breathe breathe
Amazing book about how Cruyff changed Barcelona called “Barcelona Legacy” by Jonathan Wilson unbelievable read
Amazing podcast man can’t lie, this is why since I started watching football content online I’ve always gravitated towards and resonated with you 2 because the ball knowledge you both have combined with the sheer passion and love/appreciation you guys have for the sport is unmatched man. Keep it doing your thing you guys and you’ll make it even further 💪🏼
Don’t forget the Cruyff turn!! A move that is still used today across all levels! Great episode guys 💪🏽
Again a joy listening to you guys talk about the beautifull game. A player that came up to my mind when you were talking about Pogba was Neymar. He also had an immense influence on the social media era when you think about it. Came to Europe as a superstar and was used as a brand by his father. His netflix documentary gave a lot of insights about that. I partly agree what Cams said about you either were Messi or Ronaldo on a football pitch but I think I speak for quite a lot of players when I say that you would dream being Neymar on a football pitch with his Nike Hypervenoms boots. What a time....
Inzaghi probably isn't linked to every club because Inter are massive themselves. They're a real heritage, legacy club
Lyes’ J Cole bar reference is from sideline story🙏🏼
BRING BACK FOOTBALL’S GREATEST!!! Someone needs to get in touch with some producers and make that happen!
We need a talk on Laporta and Barcelona but more of the higher ups because mostly it’s only talked about on just players and managers and club name
Idea: Players you wish you got to see play with each other
That’s pretty simple
Lionel Messi & Luka Modric LM10 & LM10
@@nxt1990 just because of the shit number ?
Best podcast on football KZhead. Just stay consistent and it will be numero uno I promise
I like how you upload the podcast on KZhead but you and Cams should try to upload on Spotify aswell. Loving the podcast Lyes
Video suggestion: Your Greatest Real Madrid, Barcelona or Bayern Munich XI
this podcast is amazing , hope you keep going for a long time
Real Football Talk❤️this is what we need
Great video but you guys forgot to mention George Best, the REAL first celebrity footballer, with his good looks and Beatles style hair, they used to call him the Fifth Beatle!!! Also won the Ballon D’or at 22 years old
this is the best podcast ever
Lyes definition of legacy was acc perfect 🔥
Mo salah’s culture in England is underrated. The Islamophobia that was at an all time high in England dropped significantly when he touched England. You can read about it in articles. Good watch tho boys
True, the egyption king persona as a football was awesome
thomas muller to me is the ultimate maverick in football. he is almost like a hacker in football
Topic suggestion: Greatest teams to never win the Champions League. Mine would be 2012 Real Madrid under Mourinho. btw, Great episode man. Something new to the usual pods. Really refreshing content. keep it going
You guys are lit 🎉🎉🎉🎉
🫡
Best duo we need more content!🥳
Messi is awesome for sure, but in my opinion Cr7 is maybe the biggest reason why football is so fun to watch, every decision he made, going to england what he brought to england as a young player, when he establish himself choosing to go to real madrid, back then we saw it as yeah a normal move for a top player, but we never know who ronaldo was or was to become, he made england jump, he tore spain apart, kicked off a rivalry and made portugal a fan favourite country, Cr7 was just a rockstar, and before him yeah you have like george best, kevin keegan, diego maradona and ofcourse david beckham, even zlatan ibrahimovic to an extent, but out of them Cr7 is the football rockstar.
Facts
Bruh you’re telling me Messi isn’t “fun” to watch? 😂 Aight..
@@z3dda he didn’t say that read broski
Football rockstar😭
Tastao was actually the original false 9. When Brazil won the World Cup 1970
Hungary 1950s used a false 9 and the Austrian wunderteam of the 30s used rotating players and false positions before them. Even the current pep 3421 is a slightly changed WM formation that herbert Chapman used at arsenal in the 30s. Tactics is about tweaking to improve and perfect not to try and reinvent the wheel.
You guys will remined us abt tht football greats
Video ideas: rank the Best set piece takers of all time (freekicks and corners) Also we always show appreciation to the managers at the top of the league but what about the managers that always knew how to avoid the drop throughout the years? What do you guys think made them so good at that particular task and why do you guys think there aren't managers like that anymore?
Students of the game!
Arrigo Sacchi's legacy is just as great as Cruyff's imo. He taught Capello who coached Ancelotti who himself coached the likes of Zidane, Conte and Deschamps.
This is giving Lebron Reddick podcast vibes, class guys
Beckham in 24 is still the most stylish athlete to ever grace the earth, some others are getting better but most are just doing too much/they don't understand it yet. it's crazy how fashion has accepted the sports world.
Stylish in sport ? Are u a female?
@@therealhb1763 huh women are the only people that can be stylish and love sports? Go outside fam
@@ineverswag are u dumb? I said why are u talking about one guy having style ? And where did u get the sport thing from. Go Starbucks ps
Love the pep praise.. the fact that you mentioned everyone copies some form of his football is what ruined football and not him himself? I rate.. 👏 brilliant lads.. PEP THE GOAT!
Was wondering if you guys could do a video assessing some of the younger generation talents coming through, and possibly ranking them based on ceiling. To include, endrick (going madrid), estevao (going chelsea), echeverri(going man city) and kendry paez (going chelsea). You can watch their videos etc so you can comment on their talent.
Thought this was the best platform to propose this too since it is based on the eye test, which other podcast best appreciates that
I think Echeverri has been slept on because I personally think hes the best out of the lot
you can include Lamine Yamal too
The only guys house where football is discussed more than women, on and off camera 🎥 obviously!!!!
Since Paolo Maldini got fired everything at AC Milan just gets worse and worse, we need to get rid of our manager 100000% while i don`t want Inter to do well, i`d rather it be Inter then Juventus, but ideally i don`t want either of them to well, but Juventus is our Liverpool, as an AC Milan fan if you wanna compare it to United`s rivals. Cruyff is one of the GOAT`s, he is right up there in the past GOAT discussion, he belongs right up there with Messi, Cr7, Pele and Maradona.
They haven’t done much as crujff
@@therealhb1763 Who hasn`t? I think Cruyff is more influencial for the development of football, but Messi(The Goat), Cr7, Pele and Maradona are often considered the goats. I don`t think Maradona should be there personally due to his cheating and his cocain use(which actually is a sports enhanzing drug)
@@thetruth4654 influence and the best are two different things
@@therealhb1763 Cruyff is high on both, so what is the issue?
@@thetruth4654 I haven’t said it’s a issue
Bro make it twice a week. This one's a week is not good enough. I'm an Arsenal fan. But I like both of you. So please. Make more shows
How is this not good enough ?
for the owners and executives episode. Silvio Berlusconi
I did not know that bayern munich tought pep so much about the game, respect
Well he was their for years
Idk its because i saw pep as such a perfect manager, but it goes to show theres always room for improvement
@@momotheone9700 true
Manuel Neuer at Schalke was soooo good. People forget this time
Sorry I am so late my bad
How did Pep perfected football and with the best teams couldn’t deliver on the UCL level? And Madrid never played that way and look at the success. Just because he won multiple PL doesn’t mean he perfected football. Chill
Thats a good question, because yeah pep only has 2, ancelotti has 4
@@momotheone9700 I'm just saying, if you look at the best teams in the 2000, Pep has maybe 3 of the top 5, and all 3 teams won the league before and after Pep, but when it's UCL time I think he under achieve. overall he's top coach but head to head UCL type of games I wouldn't pick him.
You man gotta change that intro, major PAUSE in that
Beckhams Brand become so big it made fans either overrate or underrate him
Forza Inter
Im here to support talent with 🇩🇿 DNA 😂😂
We say everybody copies Pep but not really... Madrid, Atletico, Villareal, Liverpool, Spurs, Bayern, Bayer, Dortmund, PSG, Inter, Juve, Milan, Roma..... They dont play like Pep and are the biggest clubs.
It's funny because I never liked Cristiano or Messi that much. I hated both Barca and Madrid while they were there, and even though I recognise Messi is one of the GOATs (and better than Cristiano), I've never been a huge fan. La Liga was dead while they were there because it was dominated by both clubs. I also despised how both clubs got so lucky and got so many refereeing decisions go their way in Europe, and to top it all off, modern fans of both clubs are some of the most toxic in all of existence. The rabid fanboy-ism that both players spawned prevents me from ever liking either player. Once you start getting talked down to by some random Indian online who probably started watching football a week ago for criticising CR7, you know it's peak for the sport....
If you let the fans of either influence you to dislike them personally as a player then that’s just saying a lot about your mental capacity mate😂
@@grez367 Go on, what does it say about my mental capacity? Enlighten us. I don't like either player that much (especially Cristiano), but I don't hate them, either. I don't like the rabid fans both have spawned, and a large part of someone's fanbase is a reflection of that person to an extent. This kind of pathetic fanboyism didn't exist in football prior to these two. And if some of that hate is irrational, so be it.
@@Al-ji4gd liking your own comments says it all really, have a good day😂
@@grez367 Yeah, no argument, I thought so. Don't reply to me ever again, bozo.
@@Al-ji4gd keep liking ur own comments for self validation
Just finished reading Johan Cruyff Always on the Attack by Auke Kok, really great biography about the man. Looking forward to hearing you guys talk about his legacy.
