The English want to praise Paul Scholes who couldn’t get near Rui & past him on three four occasions in that little clip Rui Costa Portugal 🇵🇹 greatest #10 simple 🙌
when he had a good day, rui costa was the best midfielder in the world. had a been a little more consistent, he would be in the goat discussion about midfielders
Que saudades, como Portugal precisava nos dias de hoje de um 10 assim, que saudades de ver Portugal jogar há bola sem complexos e sempre a dominar os adversários. Portugal era uma orquestra Rui Costa o Maestro.
This Portuguese squad played so well, Rui Costa, Luís Figo, João Pinto, Sá Pinto, Nuno Gomes... They had that same flair Barcelona had in their best years, most players were very similar, knew how to play with the ball, made good passes, great runs. With a bit more experience they would reach finals and win cups more often for sure. The rest was all there, talent and how they could cover most positions instead of the current way of playing which is flanking, flanking, flanking without any midfield game.
O melhor número 10 de sempre! Visão de jogo impressionante, passes super certeiros, control de bola fantástico! Um jogador ao qual nunca lhe foi dado o devido valor!!
I knew Milan was going to rule European football for the coming decade when Ancelotti brought him together with Pirlo in a team. It is amazing how Ancelotti merged the two midfield masters in the same squad without any conflicts at all. The result is sea amount of assistance to the legendary forwards - Inazaghi and Shevchenko.
It did help Milan dominate but for him individually, I think a move to England or Spain would of been best at the end of the 90s. Can only imagine the player he would of been in the Prem with a team like United instead of Verón
This was a game in which Portuguese superiority was so convincing that even with 2 nil down I knew Portugal was going to win. Rui Costa, Figo and Joao Vieira Pinto were on fire.
Rui Costa's vision and passing skills were anchored on his ability to play without looking at the ball at his feet so he could read the game and watch players' movements all the time.
If Portugal had a guy like Henry during the 90s and early/mid 2000s, we could have had a strong chance to win World Cup and Euro. Rui Costa and Figo had no one to pass to. Nuno Gomes and Pauleta were good, but were not elite level to complement our strong midfield
Last time was precisely 25 years ago I believe. in 1998. Competitively i mean. Or maybe there was a more recent Nations League match, I don't remember.
Rui was better playmaker than Zizou.. His vision & killer pass were unreal.. He’s not only as decisive & goalscorer like zizou.. But Rui was one technically gifted & genius.. Also his trademark gliding dribble were joy to watched..
This is what 99 passing looks like, a true MAESTRO
Rui Costa was a fantastic player!
Beautifull to Watch.
Destroyed them in 2000, killed their hopes of qualification in 2004. A majestic player.
Pure clas!
Rui ran the whole game. Great performance.
If you saw a performance like this from a player today in a NT, everyone would be raving about it.
he doesnt score a goal, so people will call him a flop anyway
@@alitmahendra891 You are probably right. Sadly.
This is real world class quality dominated the whole game
rui's dribbling is underrated.

Rui Costa Portugal 🇵🇹 greatest #10 simple 🙌
Scholes is strong but inferior to rui Costa technically and vision
And now the president of Benfica.
someone like rui costa is rare in this world
when he had a good day, rui costa was the best midfielder in the world. had a been a little more consistent, he would be in the goat discussion about midfielders
he was never best midfielder in the world
Yes he was... Unless you are a millenial wich sound its the case...
@@ScoccoSLB He was NEVER the best midfielder in the world,he wasnt even the best portuguese midfielder of his day
@@shesbaldbutiwouldSo who was if i may ask!?
@@shesbaldbutiwould At Fiorentina and in is first years at Milan he was only surprassed by Zidane, Rivaldo, Scholes and Del Piero.

what a player, what a legend

It wasn't about experience. It was about some of the guys in the back.
He was my role model for playing football in Elementary School. Every Milan Jersey I have always I customed with his name.
Il Maestro

scholes got an absolute bath in this game
A mesmerising player on his day. Supremely gifted. Should have achieved more with that ability.

what confidence he has when he is on the ball. sick level ball control.
Majestic
What a football brain
Maestro 10 Rui Costa 🇵🇹 Fantástico
Real maestro..
What a performance! Cátedra del maestro.
O maestro o melhor médio da história do futebol português
The legend of No.10
Master of a player, and a legend of a club president at Benfica. What a man
This was a game in which Portuguese superiority was so convincing that even with 2 nil down I knew Portugal was going to win. Rui Costa, Figo and Joao Vieira Pinto were on fire.
Grande giocatore!! Ruii 🖤
Gênio de bola
This team, coached by Humberto Coelho was the Best portugal side i've ever seen play.
Jogavam bem do meio campo para a frente. Mas a de 2004 a 2006 jogava muita mas muita bola.
Actual President of my team: S.L.Benfica.
A good man with honour and passion for football, as well supporting the best part of sport in general
One of his best games for Portugal
Rui Costa's vision and passing skills were anchored on his ability to play without looking at the ball at his feet so he could read the game and watch players' movements all the time.
Rui costa master clase
Que rei! Grande Rui
2 assists to goals. genius.
Maestro🤩
Portugal´s last great number 10
Руи Кошта легенда!!!!🤴⚽️
Been really enjoying this guy lately, don't think the average person is aware of just how skilled he was. I certainly wasn't
Best portuguese number 10 all of time....
verdadeiro camisa 10
Rui Costa: Better than Zidane

Portugal was also robbed because they were a small country.
more about rui costa and deco
fuck deco
@@kRuWeLLL why?
Great player.
This commentary seems to be bogus.
Better than Zidane.
This video was so good. It seemed longer than 2:46
👌👌👌
Has England ever beaten Portugal in the last 25 years?
they beat us a couple of years ago in a friendly.
Always a fun game to watch
Last time was precisely 25 years ago I believe. in 1998. Competitively i mean. Or maybe there was a more recent Nations League match, I don't remember.
Rui was as good as Zizu in terms of football skill but Zizu edges on Trophies....
Zizu was more goalscorer and decisive. Rui Costa was more of a playmaker and facilitator. Both great in their own ways.
Rui was better playmaker than Zizou..
His vision & killer pass were unreal..
He’s not only as decisive & goalscorer like zizou..
But Rui was one technically gifted & genius..
Also his trademark gliding dribble were joy to watched..
3 assists...thé firts for figo
Agora só Ronaldo ... Nem figo nem Rui costa nem João Pinto , até do Nuno Gomes tenho saudades... Quais brunos Fernandes quais neves 🤦🏾🤦🏾🤦🏾
with chewing gum
Rui costa was a problem
Ince see you later guverner
