A non-media player whose unreal talent and divine technical quality are only properly recognized by those who really follow and effectively understand about football. He was the most technically gifted player in several of Manchester United's winning teams, and due to the fact that he always plays alongside popstars super hyped by the media, he's unfortunately less celebrated than he should. Total and absolute control of the game, a real maestro, the silent genius who was only noted for what he did on the pitch. A true baller, a living legend! Pure and absolute genius!
He is actually very underrated in his generation because of how he avoid the media and his loyalty to the club. Most doesnt know that he dictates how United plays. If he plays good, the whole team plays good. Sven Goran Erikssen wrongly utilize his ability.
He never really played as a 6, that's nonsense. He played as an 8 or as a 10. He was either an attacking minded 8, or a 10... Never really a great box to box, didn't have enough athleticism. Nether was he a holding midfielder. I don't think he was very complete at all. Both Lampard and Gerrard (especially Gerrard) were miles better defensively, among other things. Although being comoplete gets overrated at times. You don't have to be complete at all to be a brillaint footballer.
@@siberianTiger639 Pep Guardiola rated him better than Lampard & Gerrard. Iniesta confessed that Pep showed them Scholes' moves for training. You should listen to Pep. He redefined the Premier league 😎
I'm only a year younger than the class of 92 so lucky to witness the genius of these English and Welsh players live and on TV grow up on the field 💯 will never be seen again
He could do it all: totally dictate the tempo, play defense splitting long balls with pinpoint accuracy, arrive late in the box and score screamers, beat people with his really simple but effective dribbling, avoid pressure all day long.
It just occurred to me that other running attacking players throughout the various Utd teams were enhanced because they had such faith in Scholes to find them it would trigger them to run into spaces that perhaps they wouldnt ordinarily run into...because they knew he was good enough to find them however the ball came to him and wheverever he was on the pitch. Incredible. His effect on the way the whole team played was profound.
If Brady was a great quarterback in american football, then to say scholes became a great quarterback in football is only telling part of the story. In his later years he dropped deeper and became the conductor, the architect, the play maker. Short, or long 60 yard to someone's feet. And when we speak about people passing and playing, the great spanish players of that ace Barca side had much of the ability, but you won't find a show reel of them hitting 60 yard precision missiles, over and over, again and again. In the short passing game and possession game, he had everything. But in saying that, it doesn't begin to explain his forward look up and passing. And this play and stretched play is partially why United would get goals late in games. And I've not touched on how good he was as a foil, forward, striker. Even in the part of the game people like to select as a flaw - his tackling. He grew up watching Robson, Moses, Whiteside, Nobby stiles - he wasn't merely an artisan with the ball at feet. No. When the team was without the ball, he was as red a devil as anyone, and did the shift work, and was not afraid of all for scrapping for the ball. Some of his talent - was not things that can be taught. But the parts that can, workrate, tackling, doing the dirty part of the game - he added these to the talent. An absolute red devil, legend, and remains undervalued and under estimated. Man o Man I was privileged to watch him over many years.
What people don't mention much nowadays, and I'm surprised with it because it was a great quality of his for the most part of his career, was his timing of his late runs to the box, his positioning, the finishing too, his eye for a goal. Top class, he could almost play as a striker (he did play as a second striker, behind Van Nistelrooy for a while and did great). He just had that insinct and knew where he needed to be when those crosses were coming in.
He's the real deal, was far better in real life than his video highlights. In fact the weakest point of his game ironically is the long crosses he was known for could only manage 85% accuracy still placing among the top crossers. In everything else he was sublime.
@@CoolMikey81 Yes its true, I checked several websites and to my surprise he wasnt even top five accurate crossers at the time and another shocking stat was the he only attempted an average of 4-5 crosses per game, in fact Carrick had more crosses than him, meaning crossing was not a major part of his game. His short passes later in his career when he was CM/CDM was actually top notch, 93-96% (in some games 100%). Media can distort our perception on players. Feel free to look it up pls.
@@vs6300are you talking about CROSSING or LONG PASSING? I'm totally confused right now, because he was indeed a great long passer, especially in the later part of his carreer, not sure about the early years. But he definitely never did many crosses, I've barely seen his crossing the ball at all. He was rarely on the wing, neither did he do corner kicks or set pieces much. He rarely used the inside part od his foot (except for short passes), the part you use for crosses, in general.
Best ever English player. 11 Premier League , 2 Champions League , 5 FA Cup and 4 League Cups. Highly rated by Barcelona academy (Messi, Ineista and Xavi students) as a role model.
Gerrard was a more complete player than both. You cold play Gerrard in any position on the pitch and he would excel, the compete box to box midfielder. Scholes couldn’t defend, a different type of player.
@@Jo_aZif you submerge Gerrard and Lampard together Scholes would still outclass them by miles. That's how much of a complete Footballer scholes were.
You can tell why Zidane rates him highly.
The only Midfielder that Zidane ever spoke about with total admiration.

Even Zindane admire Scholes abbility..
Silence yet effective

Great job on finding some obscure stuff I don't remember seeing in a Scholes compilation before!
The complete Midfielder..he can play role number 6,8 and 10..he can tackle, dribble, assist and score
He couldn't tackle, the amount of times he went in late was terrible.
He never really played as a 6, that's nonsense.

1:10 Scholes remembers the offside rule 🔥🔥🔥
This guy is probably the best midfielder of all time. Class
Z. Zidane!! Or Zico.
Matthaus
He was NEVER the best midfielder during his time, not to mention all time. Nonsense.
He was never even the best midfielder in the Premier League.
@@siberianTiger639why u even here mate?

This is what Rasmus needs someone to pick him out
A great player, a legend
He had a football brain in each foot.
What a player

My father left us to growly 😢 2 years ago but i know this dudes can get a pass to him in the infinity
from a United fan, thank you very much!
Nobody does it better than Scholes, he is the master.
Fantastic genius
Pure class.
Insane skills
3:11 How could he see Ronaldo comming. Unbelievable....
Glory the best man
Paul “no nonsense” scholes
Iniesta, KDB, Zidane, Scholes, Busquets, Rodri.
If I have to pick a midfield 3 for the best 2 teams in history. I would pick these 6 players.
No Xavi?
He was playing with the Tele Camera settings IRL

world world class❤
Scholes, Giggs and Cristiano trio is probably the most unsung trio of all times. I've never seen a bad game for this trio
Hardly unsung, they won everything
What a cheat code of a player. Could do everything on the pitch.
He's the real deal, was far better in real life than his video highlights. In fact the weakest point of his game ironically is the long crosses he was known for could only manage 85% accuracy still placing among the top crossers. In everything else he was sublime.
😂 And from what website did you get this stat from them. i hardly seen him get a long pass wrong. I’d say 90 to 95%

Scholes, that's it
He is also asthmatic, which didn’t help playing in the hot countries and major tournaments held in the summer for England.
Do Roy keane highlights next 🇮🇪
ONE WORD >>> THE GENIUS! #18 #GGMU
WOW
W7W Very Nice ^^

he is your idol's idol
A lot goalkeepers grabbing at thin air!
I rate him higher than Lampard and Gerrard!!
So does Pep
Scholes >>>> Lampard and Gerrard
ain't no way
GAZZA>>>>SCHOLES

Scholes was better than Roy Keane..Roy Keane was one of the Best midfielders in the world..
Still far away from ronaldo and messi..
