Timing, speed, aggressiveness(lol), stand tackles, sliding on point, monster in the air, this dude was and still is a monster!!.

He's a player you hate to go against but love on your team, he's Pepe!!

@Rain why? Cuz a couple of fights? If that’s the case then we shouldn’t appreciate Ronaldo neymar salah saurez etc for diving and cheating. Same thing just different forms
@@raw_projects5514 Pepe with 38 yo is better than maguire(the only thing helding him bakc are injuries). you need ajax for your eyes. the only 1 who can be better is virgil.
My favourite defender ever, no words to describe the warrior he is. When he played in Madrid he was like a secret weapon being unleashed in the football pitch. There were no friendly matches for Pepe, I can tell you that xDD
He was best defender of 2016, best player of the euro 2016 competition and won champions league in 2016 with real. People really dont know how great he was and still is. How many players can say that they played at real madrid for 10 years and won 3 champions leagues? Not many
He played very well in this year's Euro 2020 .... sometimes he behaves awkward but man he defensive skills really nailed it and that block he does is another level....
If you ever wondered why mourinho madrid is Very good at counter attacking football, that’s because Ramos and Pepe are very good at intercepting the ball
Fast: Can chase and catch up strikers even when he seems beat. Solid on his feet: Does not fall easily. Tall: Can jump and defend air balls. Tackling technique: Recovers the ball or send it outside But most importantly very aggressive. Makes every match up with the striker like a duel, like a war and thus wears him out. He is by far my favorite. When we had it at RM, I could rest assured.
Pepe is also a gentle giant. He's a kind man, very humble and beloved by all the workers of the clubs he played in, regardless of status or hierarchy. Wonderful dude ❤️
@@sarbasov yet Messi is considered one of the best in history if not the best and still some matches it's like he is not playing. Does then someone say he is not one of the greatests? Don't hate on Pepe just because you don't like him. :)
talk about prime pepe, he is still unmatched. Tell me what other 39 year old defender still starts for his National team and performs better than a 24 year old defender who was considered the best defender of the year last season.
Pepe deserves to be named with the great defenders. He got into trouble a lot but that's the mark of a good center back. In his prime he was one of the most reliable center backs of all time. No matter the opposition there was no need to bench pepe if he was healthy.
What people fail to realize is yes Pepe had some crazy moments to him but on a good day with no crazy outbursts he was better than Sergio as a stopper. I miss his grit and heart and soul defending at Madrid. #Legend
as a stopper i'd say pepe was always better, at least the more consistent one. I can tell you for sure Sergio Ramos won't be able to perform at the level pepe is at the age of 39.
Every centerback have some episodes to regret, but Pepe - probably because he's portuguese and not good looking (as Maldini, Ramos, Zanetti, etc.) - has been wrongly unrecognized as one of the best centerbacks of all times.
Remember 2015 El Classico when it was actually fun and the most adrenaline pumping thing ever? Messi, Neymar, Suarez, Iniestia, Xavi, Puyol, Alves, Adama Traore, Ter Stegan, Pique, prime Countino VS Ronaldo, Gareth Bale, Pepe, Benzema, James Rodriguez, Sergio Ramos, Chicharito, Marcelo, Modric, Keylor Navas, Kroos, Casmerio etc
Sadly ppl only see the negative part of him, he's easily tempered, but that's got nothing to do with his defensive masterclass, currently madrid got another version of him in militao, which is less aggressive, yet so good! Love you pepe ❤️
Just because He is recognised by brutal defender ,we forgot how good he is.. I thought demiral has similarity with him Now, We just see defender who play long pass and less physical contacts
So underrated ... at least portuguese people know who he is , and at Real people just remember him for he's angry moments but they didn't know that he was better than Ramos... so proud to have you in my club😍💙🤍
I am just wondering how good Portugal defence will be with the beast like Pepe and Ruben Dias in it Portugal have a very good chance to win the euro again this year
Pepe: "i will take the ball or your leg, you choose"
Or both 😉
“Ur life”
The choice is yours
And when there's no response, Pepe says..... So you've chosen death

He was the only defender that really knew how to consistently stop Messi. Others could but Pepe just knew
It's ok to be aggressive, is different from being dirty.

Yeah just because he was physical player and he had a couple of bad incidents
Pepe was the best centre-back in Real Madrid. He outplayed Ramos most of the times.
Every time ill say
Coz he was the sweeper
He is way better at defending than Ramos but Sergio Ramos is better overall.
@@a.m.a3477 ramos is better on the ball bcus he use to be a RB and pepe was the sweeper in the duo

One of the most feared defenders. I like him a lot. He is crazy scary!
I love his aggressiveness not soft on the pitch
I cant imagine a defence that has him and ramos together
Rock solid
You don't have to imagine because it actually happened.
I've not seen a better defender in 1v1 situation. He's great instinct.

Man was born in Alagoas, imagine if he played for Brasil, he's an amazing player and I like him.
If he played for Brasil he wouldn't be European Champion.
Came to Portugal with 18, debuted for Portugal at 25. He's almost 40. Legendary defender ❤️

Great video. If it wasn't for some of his crazy moments people would give him more value. For me one of the best defenders of all time!
respect to pepe, more defenders should be like him, he was one of the cleanest defenders in history
Till the player is breathing its not a penalty

Ole gave the United defenders this video to watch. This is why Harry Maguire marks Basaka.
