Andrea Pirlo v Sergio Busquets: The Deep Lying Midfielder
Vložit
- čas přidán 7. 01. 2019
- Andrea Pirlo is perhaps the greatest true Regista that has ever played the game; Sergio Busquets is perhaps the most complete all-round defensive midfielder. Different players, different qualities, but both among the greatest footballers that have ever played the game.

#Pirlo #Busquets #Midfielder - Sport
This is the role played with the brain. The legs and feet are mere tools.
@Alp Erol did u play fm dude ? Lol
No player in this modern era has match Pirlo...
It is my favorite role and Pirlo is my favorite player.
You could say that about any position or any job.
@@dacreamegbegbadia1881 Pjanić is probably closest.
Words can’t describe how much i miss watching Pirlo
Floyds high heels man u ain't lying
Stop lying you slag
yeah i cant imagine that he is not playing anymore
Makes two of us pal
One player i miss the most
As always
You watch the game you don’t see busquets.
You watch busquets you see the whole game
Excellent comment!! What a smart approach
@@azekeaze1882 It was actually said by Del Bosque.
@Ayoub Nait AND start watching full matches.
@Ayoub Nait Then hope you improve your sense of understanding the game.
@Ayoub Nait i don't know why youtube or twitter peeps get offended so quick. As if coming here to fight. We could talk peacefully .. nope ... 3 comments is all it took to know i am an idiotic Barcelona fan. Good. Thanks. Bye.
Clicked immediately as soon as I saw Pirlo and Busquets,two of my favorite midfielders,quality content as always.

@@tejinderpalsingh6048 was he the first player in the history to dive?? lol..
CR7,neymar even messi have dive in his career...thats why u should stick to cricket...getting trolled yourself..
LOL
Busquets is a woefully underappreciated talent at Barcelona. Pirlo was deservedly seen as a maestro. I wonder how Luka Modric fits into this discussion.
@@tejinderpalsingh6048 Real fan?
Busquets has mastered the art of the use of your body to protect the ball and win battles against opponents, I’ve never seen a player win positional battles so effortlessly.
Much like in 2010 semifinal against inter .cheater
Try Riquelme
De Jong has been amazing in that regard, despite being much smaller and weaker.
He's been the only consistent world-class player for Barca this year.
KurokoBOI de jong is lke 6 foot tall not much shorter...
hes very complete and very good at shielding the ball from his opponent but prime busquets is ridiculous. plus his passing is so inteligent, hes almost unpressable. i dont think its an exaggeration to argue that hes at least as good as prime xavi
@Kurokoboi : De jong is good but he sometime dribbles too much against the pressing opponent but he is young and will learn. Busquets on the other hand looked very composed and knew when to use his skills against pressing and when to pass rather than dribbling like de jong.
Busquets looks more natural in doing so while De jong loves dribbling past players.
The quarterback analogy for Pirlo is perfect
not really
Hakim no it isn’t. Fuck off using an American football position to describe a footballer. On some level you are destroying the beautiful game.
@@paxbritannica5598 stfu man, I'm european and you're just taking the piss, he didn't even said soccer, so fuck off. American Football is actually good, and the analogy is pretty good
@@1237barca the ball distributer who's always protected? Come on man that's spot on
@@hakim6158 hmmm, in that sense, fair point. BUT it is just so limited. What pirlo did so well was to move the opposition. He was a thinking a movement ahead. A mix between a QB and a snooker player.
Busquets was criminally underrated in his prime.
Look at todays match. He does the same things he did on 2009, even without Xavi and Iniseta on the pitch
@@user-vc4on8cu8y True, he commits one mistake and everyone complains. Without him, Barca doesn't play like Barca.
Pirlo and Baggio at Brescia must have been a joy to watch
i watched one highlight and i agree
Guardiola was in that team too
@@moonknightish Guardiola came after Pirlo left for AC Milan. He was 31 at that time. Brescia were the only team in Europe looking for someone with similar abilities to Pirlo.
All those people saying that Pirlo is greater than Busquets or he is worse are completely missing the point of the video. Busquets was one of the greatest ever deeper screeners and line breaking passers. The way he would think both offensively and defensively at the same time and position himself in such a way that he was always only a few metres away if the team lost the ball. Pirlo was unbelievable in his ball playing and his creative abilities were phenomenal. They were two completely different players despite playing in the same position. They aren't comparable because how different the two are. It would be like comparing einstein and Newton . Two equally legendary figures in the history of science
Any two things that do the same thing (in this case it's two people playing football) can be compared. I can definitely say that Terry was better than Bendtner.
Exactly, and this is what this video is about.
I see your point, but sports are sports and all of us need to see these things pragmatically. if you told Busquets he was going to play Pirlo's role in Milan and Juventus, he would've been able to pull it off. He wouldn't have been as glorious as Pirlo, but he would've done the job just right at an elite level.
You couldn't have told Pirlo to do Busquets' job at Barcelona. He wouldn't have been able to pull it off. Sergio Busquets is truly one of the best midfielders in the last 10 years, if not the very best.
Busquet is only appreciated by those who had some sort of degree in tactical aspects. He's the best deep lying playmaker yet at the same time a world class defensive midfielder. Can't say the same about Pirlo.
Newton leached off other people’s work he didn’t create shit but I understand what you mean.
Yes! This video is exactly why Tifo is streets ahead of other football channels - perfectly encapsulating why this unglamorous and erstwhile derided role is so, so crucial in the game, while highlighting two modern greats who are two of the most brilliant minds in midfield.
This may be about the No.6 on the pitch but this video is a Perfect 10 for me 👍
I agree mostly, but Pirlo was not unglamorous, not with the looks, the game he had. Cheers!
More than streets ahead....cities, countries, world's ahead of other football channels. Tifo is doing everything right with their videos and channel.
Damn that was well phrased
@@raheelx4700 When I wrote that I meant the position was unglamorous - not the one that is usually given the attention and plaudits though it always should be. Though I 110% agree about Pirlo - everything about him is magnificent. Cheers 👍
I come to this channel to learn because I am new to football. But this channel is the most satisfying too watch
I remember reading an idiotic comment on CZcams saying "there's nothing Busquets does that players like Silva or De Bruyne can't do"
clueless

and you should watch jorginho when he played at napoli
the guy is a not a poor example but far from the quality needed
Jorginho is like busquets
@@coolbian513 Jorginho is nothing like Busquets. Jorginho is like Jorginho, there hasn't been any other regista like him. On his best days he is like having Xavi on the regista position, with the ability to get out of pressure and playing cutting forward passes off the ground and not in the air, unfortunately, Chelsea's players aren't good enough to position themselves and lack heavily in movement off the ball to utilize that - you can't learn tiki taka overnight
I've never clicked so fast on a video as soon as I got the notification.

In the early days I hated busquets for his diving and such. Seems to have matured now and he is fantastic to watch now I understand his talents. Pirlo still gives me nightmares for what he did against England in the euros. Taught us a footballing lesson. Great vid.
HHJ FWAW he still dives a lot lol wyn
@@blanco7726 No he doesn't. And he only ever faked being hurt when the referee was allowing the opponents to kick and hit him, like against Motta who literally slapped him in the head or against Mourinho's Madrid when players fouled so much the referees were afraid to give all the necessary cards because they were afraid of Jose using it against them in the conference room and making it look like they were biased towards Barcelona. People are obsessed by that peekaboo incident that got Motta sent off.
Judging by the amount of times Busquets gets called a diver you'd think he was some kind of Ronaldo or Neymar, which couldn't be further from the truth.
If you admire Pirlo what he did against England, then you should admire almost every player whom England has faced after 1970.
@@EstebanMataVargas
Nah, Pirlo *almost* single handedly tore England apart, two times in Euro 2012 & WC 2014 respectively.
The other player that did similarly (1 time) albeit in different position & less important match, was Zlatan with Sweden with that long range overhead bicycle kick, in a friendly.
@@iqbalmuhammad2920 I was implying England´s national team is a piece shit. Obviously, you didn´t get it. Pirlo was an awesome player.
Please do a video on the role of Rakitic at Valverde's gameplan. A lot of people underestimate him nowdays.
Not really. Rakitic has really limited himself turned into a limited DM compared to his first season
his role is to play every minute of every game. box to box, deep lying, right back....doesn't matter. it is really stupid actually. he is very fatigued. he looks a bit better after the winter break, but honestly Valverde is a moron. a broken vacuum could win more with his squad
@@1237barca I don't particularly like valverde as a Barcelona fan, but he did win two trophies in his first season, and looks set for at least one more in this one
Now please do a video of Real Madrid's struggles this season without Ronaldo, and if him leaving is indeed a factor in their performance. Or is it far deeper than that?
Any team with almost the same squad winning so many trophies back to back and then decline in desire and performance is normal esp if you miss such a prolific and charismatic striker like Ronaldo.
from a Barca fan
Definitely far deeper. Can't forget that Zidane left as well. Bad managers play bigger roles such as Rafa Benitez in the 15/16 season where he had Ronaldo.
@@azekeaze1882 sure but that's only the champions league. As far as the league is concerned Barca are still very much the dominant club. We even saw it in their last el classico match. How can they have the desire to just win in the CL but not in la liga as well?.. Something is clearly wrong.
@@keith1909 But managers often take too much of the blame when in reality it's actually the players who should be held responsible and accountable for why they're playing poorly.
Seems Ronaldo was a big piece of the puzzle that held the team together, and now without him it almost seems as though they're just average players. Similar to how in the NBA when Lebron leaves a franchise, the team massively under performs.
I think we need to realize that Real was already showing signs of decline since the beginning of last season, where for the first few games they were massively struggling in getting consecutive wins and even losing against mid-table teams, difference being that CR7 and Zizou were charismatic leaders that managed to motivate the team and provide a late resurgence, ultimately winning the UCL for the third consecutive time. This time around, however, with them not around, Real is struggling as a result.
Busquets always reminds me of the cruijff quote “football is simple, but it’s not easy to play simple”
CH in Chiellini is pronounced not as in cheap. It is more like a K as in keys
But this is America. They don't care.
To say Sergio Busquets is underated is an understatement. I just hate when he's play acting. I'am not sure if I use the phrase properly though. He is the piston to Xavi's engine.
It was just one instance almost a decade ago... nothing compared to how players behave now
@@maazins5875 one instance in one of the most important football matches in the world...it should follow him
Maazin S I know which one you referring too but that was not just it. That was the worst. I hate it when he falls at the softest of touches but always try to get away with it when he roughen up his play. But overall though he is very underated scores some important goals too sometimes arriving at the box at the right time. I just hate that part of his game. He is a big tall guy and it's football when you give some, you get some. Especially when he's the defensive mid and the start of almost all attack for Barcelona.
Focus on negative is cool nowadays
You dont like the way he behave,it has nothing to do with how good of a player he is
Xavi, Iniesta, Busquest ..... The greatest Midfield of all time.
Xavi iniesta busquet 0 ballon dor
Casemiro modric kroos 1 ballon dor
@@hsncaliper4109 So u really think winning Ballon D'or will make u Great, well then u r pretty Wrong...... And Ballon D'or is biased now. They are nowhere near to Xavi, inesta, And Busquest.
@@Bingus453
Wrong they are just as good maybe a little bit worse but kroos is one of the greats for sure
@@josuem7398 ohk, Nice joke.... Lol..
@@Bingus453
Come on dude can't deny kroos has the passing of pirlo but also puts in work defensively lacks pace but his passing range is insane
Xabi Alonso and Sergio Busquets for Spain would have been a perfect example of how both of them can play together and what their roles are in classic Spanish tactics.
Like many people watching Spain at the time, I felt that Del Bosque's insistence on playing the pair of them as a double pivot was overly cautious and robbed the national team of some of the exhilarating forward play associated with the best tiki taka.
Of course, they won everything there was to win in the time they played together, so what do I know?
Alonso.. The only modern player who comes close to pirlo. Style wise, regista👍
@@PantomimeHorse National team football in general is more conservative than club football. In short tournaments, being more cautious pays off.
@@arjitjere1559 Busquets is a completely different player
@@football3582Alonso played very much line busquets in real Madrid when they played against teams that don't keep possession

@@aliimran8966 "Pele is 100 times better than Maradona... from an Argentinian" Lie better
@Maroof Mulla he's not a barca fan just cuz he said pirlo is better than busquets? You fkin idiot
@Maroof Mulla wtf dude?..Pirlo is way better
Can you do an analysis of Fernando Redondo? Please!! He's also one of the best CDM ever. Great video as always, btw 👍🏼
I learn so much about watching these videos. Brilliant!
Pirlo could run onto the ball and put in a devastating long pass. Also lack of pace but he still managed to destroy England in Euro 2012 and in the World Cup 2014, the latter when he was 36. Juve taking him on a free transfer was a nice piece of business.
Excellent video. One note I would add however is Busquets high press. He’ll often move to within 10 yards of the opposition 20 yard box when Barca have the ball to quickly stamp out any potential counter attacks once they lose possession. His ability to read the game in moments such as these is unrivaled. He’s not as stylish as Pirlo. You won’t see as many Hollywood passes or certainly no physics defying free kicks but for me he’s the superior player. Best midfielder in world football bar none.
Absolutely different approaches to the role. Pirlo was no strange to covering, but Busquets was no way in Pirlo's league in organizing, tempo-setting, creativity and long range shooting.
Pirlo was the most complete -and thus, for me, the best- midfielder of his generation, followed by Alonso and Gerrard. All of them could fit in any midfield.
Sergio ahahah ahahahah better than Pirlo ahahah ahahahah ahahah nice joke
Very good video, roles and differences explained really well
What an excellent job done there by Tifo. However, I'd love to see you guys do a podcast on this and other player roles. Libero, maybe?
Finally someone is giving the credit to Carletto Mazzone! There was another great playmaker called Roberto Baronio coming from Brescia youth squad and him and Pirlo were playing very well together for Under 21 and Reggina in the early 2000. Forza Brescia!!!
We already see these 2 legend come face to face in 2015 ucl final
Brilliant video, as always. As soon as I saw Busquets and Pirlo in the same video I went straight into it. Can you do one of Juan Roman Riquelme & Zinedine Zidane? I find them a similar case like Pirlo & Busquets.
This was the best gift for the day, a pure joy to watch a smart analysis of two of my favourite players, pure class, thank you so much
funny if both players were english they would be ostracised and labeled luxury players .. england is about 10 years behind the rest of the countries in europe
dadondutta yep, that’s why Carrick was overlooked for brainless players who “work hard” yet he was pivotal to Man Utd’s success and his retirement is also a big part to why Man Utd suck now because he hasn’t been replaced.
Pirlo famously hated running. That would get him tagged as lazy in England. Ask Ozil, not that his play for Arsenal is beyond criticism.
The anglosphere lacks the culture to produce a Pirlo. And not just in a footballing sense either.
@@ZaprdicaJelic England would produce a James Milner.
Raheem Sterling is the prototypical English player, one polished by Guardiola.
@@ZaprdicaJelic
The worst part is they've produced many but don't recognise it. Many players have the technical ability and intelligence to play this way and some do, Carrick, Scholes even Giggs later on. Pirlo is a one off though, it's a bit unfair to say "the anglosphere" lack the culture when he is unique.
Brilliant video. My favorite quote about Busi is "When you watch the game you don't see Busquets, but when you watch Busquets you see the whole game". Like Messi he's irreplaceable at Barça. A true footballer in every sence...
You could say the exact same thing for Xavi, Xabi Alonso, Zidane, Scholes, Pirlo etc.
This is gold *_*
Brilliant as always!
Great vide! Great channel!
I wonder how you break the tactics with so ease
still waiting for 'The fall of Ac milan'
Marvellous content as always!!
Pirlo was my favourite midfielder of this century
Fantastic video, very thoughtful
Loved watching Pirlo. His long diagonal passes were very effective and inspired me to use the technique in 5-a-side because the game is based more on counter attacks and it's easier to pick someone out on the smaller pitch.
Pirlo and busi define quality beauty with brain...
What about Tonali?Could be a new world class defensive midfield?
Excellent video, I love this channel❤
What an amazing video two great players in the same position but yet operated differently miss seeing Pirlo play
Come here after pirlo appointed as juve coach.
Is Busquets worlds best cdm in ur opinion?
yes
He made those killer through balls look easy to find. While in reality it is really tough personally for me to do
CDM is tough position to determine the best player since different teams uses the role very differently.
I would say busquets is the best right now .But players like kante and casemiro are better at pure defensive work
exactly@@ajaykrishnah5584
He is the best of his type. He wouldn't be able to do Kante's job as well as Kante, but Kante wouldn't be able to Busquets' job as well as Busquets.
The analysis of these players is superb!
Your content is continuously superb. Thankyou!
The English version is Paul Scholes and Michael Carrick
Scholes was good and Carrick was... decentish. Busquets and Pirlo are some of the best CDMs in football history. Whole other level.
Michael Carrick hahahaha next joke
Lol
@@battistoberhoel8839 I never said Busquets and Carrick are on the same level
Carrick is could've been considered one of the best in that position If he had played in other leagues. His role and play style is often overlooked in the EPL. But he is one of the most decorated English players of all time, so the ppl commenting should really think twice before calling him bad.
What's scary is Chelsea has arguable both the best players in this position. They will definitely be a huge force next season
Zhe Wei Khor other than jorgi whose the other one because fabregas is gone
@Ayoub Nait kanté is a joke infront of jorginho,busquets and pirlo
Zhe Wei Khor Well I guess they could work better if they played with 4-2-3-1 tactic and a proper striker Jorginho + Kante can be even more dominanat to the mid than Busi Cause Jorginho has passing abilities and vision and Kante is a beast defensively
Kanté is completely different to Jorginho, Pirlo and Busquets and fielding him as a deep-lying playmaker would be a dreadful waste of his greatest asset. What Kanté truly excels at is defending large areas of space, thanks to his exceptional defensive awareness, tackling ability, speed and stamina. The greater the area of the pitch you task Kanté with covering defensively, the more he shines. This is why he is more effective in a midfield two - either Leicester's 4-4-2 or Conte's 3-4-3 - rather than in a midfield three like Sarri's 4-3-3 or Conte's 3-5-2. However, reverting to a midfield two wouldn't suit Jorginho at all, he is in his perfect role as the regista in a midfield three. Kanté is far too good to drop and you couldn't really say that pushing him further forward has failed, but his new position, coupled with the huge increase in possession Chelsea keep, does restrict his primary attribute.
love that this video concludes with immense respect to each player... and yes they both satisfy their own capabilities a long with the needs/ strategic style of their team... i personally prefer busquets style of control in possession (and i happen to be a barca fan), but dam do i miss watching pirlo prance around the field, dropping into space right before skipping a light long ball with pin point accuracy to start an attack
Nothing but quality content. Great job
I miss Xavi-Iniesta-Busquets...
Can you please one video on Xavi ? Maybe Xavi vs Scholes?
What...comparing the great xavi vs poor mans xavi paul scholes
Dude Xavi is much better
Great video as usual. But I'm not sure on Busquets' range of passing. Unless I haven't seen a lot of him recently I don't remember many occasions he's launched long cross-field passes.
Great video as usual
Pirlo will always be my favourite he was just too good
Can you make a video on Robin Jansson’s meteoric rise in the last 12 months? A year ago he was playing in the Swedish 4th division (I think) and won the Swedish 1st division in November, scoring the only goal in a 1-0 win that guaranteed AIK the title, and very recently earned his first cap for the Swedish national team.
I've been looking forward to something like this. And I think it's very well put together. However something about the depth tells me that the research on this one may not have been as good as for other videos.
your channel is great
best for football knowledge
A good video idea could be rivalries of teams, but of smaller footballing countries, but that are just as fierce, if not more, than the rivalries between top clubs
Void Vector it would be a great series
nah.i don't care for it
Insert the polish league
Busquets is the greatest no 6 and has been for a long time. The next best is nowhere near him
Loool
Xabi alonso and many reach his level

And yet Busquets is underrated. These guys revolutionized the defensive midfield position.
Well people keep on saying he is underrated,and by that he is no more underrated
@@ajaykrishnah5584 He's underrated by dint of being part of a midfield three with Xavi and Iniesta, both of whom have received far more accolades over the course of their careers, despite the fact that their midfield system simply couldn't have worked without Busquets.

@@alajndress the position on paper was a CDM

you think milan is doing crappy because of money? oof
He is talking about Milan from 2000 - 2008
OHH BOY have I been waiting for this one!!!
Superbly done absolutely bang on! Number 6 role is the most underrated position is world football, finally getting some recognition today.
Pirlo spent his best years and most years at AC Milan.
Can the football media darlings, and so forth, stop representing him in a Juve shirt ffs
Thank you.
His best years was with Juventus. Whether or not he won UCL with them. Stats don't lie. Pirlo was a beast with the old lady.
AC Milan & Pirlo fan here.
For me, he performed equally for both team.
In fact, Pirlo played imperiously for two different Italian national teams, the star studded 2005-2008 setup, & the younger & slightly inexperienced 2012-2014, both reached a major final, with Pirlo accumulating three MOMs along the way. Further proving he can play in multiple formations, team setup etc.
Grande Pirlo!
if you watch the game, you'll never see busquets. if you watch busquets, you'll see the whole game
Tifo football is a model for every youtube channel. Such pure content, there's literally nothing to complain or debate.
Feel like I've been waiting for this video my whole life
Busquets is simply the best. His ability to play in tight pockets of space is tremendous.
Haahhaahhhh
Busquets is arguably the best player ever in this position.
An absolute legend. Total control of space and time. Correct decision everytim. A genius.
@Victor Oprea one of the best ever. No discussion
Wow...it's your analysis that is truly breathtaking😉
Pirlo is indescribable. No one can describe his brilliance in words. What a legend.
Pirlo played 10 years at Milan and 4 years at Juventus.... lets put him with a Juventus jersey on the thumbnail.
Because not only Pirlo was at peak at Juventus, but this role Tifo is explaining is when he was at Juventus.
@@Ahmad-wp2bl Pirlo was at peak at Juventus? Dude cmon really ...he won 2 champions, 2 serie a and a world cup during his Milan days ... and no he explained his playstyle in 3 different formations and 1 of those was played in Juventus . And his best performances came with the "albero di natale" formation.
@@hommofroggy5727 just call it diamond formation.
Pirlo has a distinctive face and beard when playing for Juventus ... I think that is the main reason.
One famous and successful spanish manager once said: "When Busquets on the field one does not always notice him but when he is not on the pitch everyone notices that".
That's the perfect way to describe Sergio Busquets. He is not flashy but a damn important link between the defensive line and the more attacking players. Pretty much the most complete DMF to ever play the game.
Hahahaa
Sorry I’m not aware if you’ve made a Video on guy roux, but if you haven’t that would be a great video considering he managed Auxerre for 44years
Busquets is an absolute Genius! Great Great Video.
Pirlo outclasses him in my Humble opinion as amazing as they both are
Like this video explained two different players. Pirlo can look flashy for a CDM when he pings those beautiful long balls with accuracy which overrides the opponent's midfield, alongwith his other magnificent abilities. If you watch a Barca/Spain match over this decade you will realize that Busquets is not flashy but when he is at his peak the team will not loose the possession battle even to the likes of Pirlo's midfiled. So they outclass each other in different aspects of the game.
Especially when it comes to set pieces.
Dylan Dreyar epl fan ? Lmfao ofc your hate for barcas run through your veins......pathetic weirdo
In my humble opnion u r idiot
Pirlo>Biscuits
Chocolate biscuits > pirlo
Two very different players.
Is that even up for a debate?
Different players and it depends on what the team needs
They are different players with different styles you can't compare them.
Beautiful analysis, I must say😍👍
Sergio Busquets is a class act and will be difficult to replace. A true gem from la masia
According to you Thailand's golden generation of football is playing at AFC Asian cup..well is that their golden generation ...😂😂😂 loosing to India by 4 goals to 1.. anywayz love your videos...From India♥️♥️🇮🇳
He actually said that this is Thailand's golden generations last chance before big names retire from international football. He never said they are sure to beat India.

@@axisv99 no, we're trying to progress in other sports as well. It's hard, given the shitty infrastructural support from the government but the push is being made. Let's see, I'm optimistic.
i suppose when you play against a nation with 20x the population and way more experience and investments, losing 4-1 is pretty damn good. But none of that matters because your comment is nothing short of pure ignorance and stupidity combined.
Pirlo Is one of the most overrated players of his generation, I think it's the fact he 'looks the part' makes people believe he's a great. 8 assists in 193 Milan games is one of his most damming stats. Google Pirlo overrated there's an interesting post on Quora that underlines why he wasn't the amazing player you may have thought. Facts don't care about your feelings his stats aren't that of world class player. Get triggered Pirlo fanboys gogogo!
You know nothing about football.
I gave reasons and sources to why, you are a fanboy that is hurt that someone would say that about your beloved Pirlo. 'You know nothing about football' - What do you know about what I know? Say something meaningless instead of making a valid point. Like I said facts/stats don't care about your feelings, there may be a reason my comment has thumbs ups, maybe because I actually made a point based on facts. Something you would do well to do yourself.
@@CrippledFapper Pirlo has 8 assists in 193 Serie A games for Milan that is a fact, you calling it 'bullshit' -again is meaningless. His pass out-put and completion (which he is applauded for) is no greater than the likes of Arteta for example, yet you don't have people noting Arteta (who has a lot more assist and goals to his name by a distance) as world class. Pirlo was a great passer of a ball, although mainly uncreative ball retention, he could pick out a nice-on-the-eye curved pass to the wing. But Pirlo was never amongst the elite in football stat-wise at any point in his career. I have a lot more points that I could add to this as I've looked into this probably more deeply than I should really care to. My opinion on Pirlo being overrated (he is clearly rated highly by many such as yourself) Is based on facts and stats and I feel is fully justified. Disagree If you must but my points made are valid.
Also- sources aren't of much importance so long as there are correct researchable facts provided within them.
@@TheMainAnon Can you then give us the sources of the facts? 8 assists? I already asked for a source.
@@CrippledFapper Statbunker AC Milan Pirlo stats, please look into yourself if you are that interested. I have no interest in replying anymore.
Some of the most brilliant writing in these videos.
Good lord I love this channel !
So apt!
Thank you!
If this were part of a serie of videos, I’d love to see an analysis of Arturo Vidal. Not only because of his characteristic polyfunctionalism, but also because of his superb playing style in those positions.
Great video.
I like this analysis bc I love how both these players operate brilliantly but not spectacularly (showy) in this position. I’d love to see you do a video about Ngolo Kante at Leicester vs Ngolo Kante at Chelsea. Kante is used more defensively than as creative playmaker, but I think Chelsea uses him too high, wasting some of his strengths. He’s another player (for Leicester winning season at least) where you watch the game you don’t see him but you watch him you see the shape of the game. Less true at Chelsea. Why? (Too high I think, but would welcome a longer more expert take.)
The 6 is unglamorous. Even more than great big center backs, really. But with a good one steering, you get to see everybody else’s strengths shine more.
Can you do a tactics explain video on the emerging importance of the fullbacks with the involvement of a sweeper keeper?
Best channel on CZcams ❤️
He doesn't run like a sprinter but definitely feeds passes to likes of Messi,suarez,dembele.
Just a suggestion, can you do a video about Pepe in FC Porto and the great season they are having, the club chance of going forward in the Champions League and an analysis of what's to come.
What is the title of the song in the background. Thanks again for your fire in depth analysis
Absolutely superb analysis
You guys are next level man

Definitely a fan o Busquets, Pirlo and Tifo...
When watching Barça’s games sometimes I like to pause whenever Busquets gets the ball, after evaluating which would be the best pass for him to make a resume the game and almost always Busquets makes that pass, truly impressive.
