Despite being small, Scholes had great power and acceleration to compensate any lack of physicality, which sets him apart from other excellent midfielders like Xavi. In fact, combine his first-touch, shot technique, pace and workrate together and you have essentially what Barcelona is today, a kind of player they could never have.
Lost 1-0 here because players simply werent on his wavelength. I for one would've become hugely frustrated in his position. A true team player, not an individual. The amount of times the ball was sacrificed by someone incapable of reading the play/ making the movement to open up the opposition is frightening. Thank God for Rooney and Ronaldo.
Lampard or Gerrard or Scholes?The Champions League 2006 winning Barcelona team studied Paul Scholes' style of play and Iniesta names his son after Paul Scholes!Even the best player of the biggest rival team of the time,Thierry Henry picked Scholesy over the rest!And I guess that settles the dispute!
@@dannyryan3103 scholes was only talked about in his retirement. it was giggs, then beckham, then ronaldo, rooney... they stole the limelight. even roy keane made the headlines. scholes was barely heard about in the media. yet ferguson built teams, not one but several generations around him.
@@dannyryan3103 that's the point i was making. he played nearly every game, and was ferguson's fulcrum in every generational team he put out yet everyone else around him were the celebrities. it's only in his retirement, that he was given some recognition courtesy alex ferguson, and some famous footballers like xavi, zidane, who shared their views about him. as for "and Rooney and Ronaldo would've scored without him in the team anyway " they wouldn't have been lifting trophies that's for certain.👍
Nice work with adding the stupid music in the background. Made the video 10x better than the commentary. They should play this music on live games as well
04:19 & 7:08 - epitomizes Scholes... May look simple to many...., but to people who has played and understand the game, sheer genius!
Agree he was soo consistent, never really had a shit game. He's one of the best players ever and we are missing someone like him in our team now.
are you for real ahhaha

Always seems to have so much time and space. Absolute midfield masterclass.
Master of the Midfield in Football in his prime days.
There were only prime days 😁
Are you american
Theres a reason why xavi and iniesta looked up to this man. one of the best midfielders in football ever
Both players were superior to Scholes.
Both of them studied him in La Masia
Absolutely loving these videos! Keep them coming! 🙌🏼🙌🏼
Great videos but the music ruins it. Commentary would be preferred
Perfect midfielder
After watching scholes play, balloon d'Or winner modric looks like the b-tec version of him.
Modric is class and a different type of players to scholes respect him
You clearly have not watched enough of Luka Modric
Really ? Modric is just as good as Scholes, May be even better. Scholes only has longetivity over Modric.
You're doing a great job. Keep up the good work!

Funng england kept plaging gerrard or lampard but refused to play a true playmaker called scholes.
unbelivable midfieder. perfect.

que jugadorazo el colorado Scholes
among all the big names, he was alex ferguson's secret weapon. both retired together. what a partnership.
Secret weapon 😂😂 lol played legit every game nearly

@@delmanpronto9374 yes but he played nearly every game though and Rooney and Ronaldo would've scored without him in the team anyway 👍

Amazing player

The English people had very top players. Grande Scholes wow😍
Carrick was icing on cake
Pass 99
Shoot 90
Vision 99
Tackle 0
2.52 If thats a yellow card, you know what the rest of the game is going to look like.
schole he just make arsenal luck like ideots there just can't get the ball off him

😂😂
Made it 2017 but you’ve decided to add music that’s from the early 2000s. Weirdo.
If God was a footballer Scholes would still be better.
Wtf scholes almost broke arsenal players leg
Bollocks did he. It was a simple demonstration of intent. As in " don't expect any quarter"
Always with the cheap techno!
Cut the music...this noise is killing the video
Great player; as good a central midfielder as I've seen. Should have gone off for that scummy foul though.
You can see english arsenal players didnt fight with him. Keown wud b holding neck of someone else 😁
This is a pretty poor performance for Scholes, he’s usually much better
