Underrated was the Korean footballer Jisung "Three Lungs" Park. Not only he often shadowed the opposition's best wingers, he had a knack for scoring goals at the most critical times. Despite not being the starter on many games, he's a MU Legend.
True. His stamina was insane. He could defend and attack without getting tired!
It reminds me of his goal against Chelsea in the champions league
Ferries biggest regret not putting him on to mark messi in the cup final !!
A legend in my books for sure, from Mexico.
@@markrichards2655 Lool he will get cooked still.. prime messi was a beast. Plus he started in the 2011 final and Messi destroyed him lol
Jisung Park: the first and only defensive winger
Tbh it's more like box-to-box winger.
Dan james is a ji sung park regen
No. Kuyt is the first
Matuidi is also technically a defensive winger. He played left wing for France in the World Cup 2018
@@ericd4542 you know your football
Sir Alex Ferguson, GOAT. To stay at a club for so long whilst still being successful is not easy. Continuously adapting his playing still and adapting to new playimg styles from oppositions.
Fun Fact: Sir Alex Ferguson is the only manager to win the Champions League twice at the same club with completely different starting XIs.
I think he is great manager and I love him. I don't think he is the GOAT though and I think that there are too many variables to realistically choose a GOAT. I like what you had to say though and agree with your reasoning.
Jamie Simms who do you think is the goat
@@raj8294 Matt Busby.
I would say the best in order are Matt Busby, Alex Ferguson, Tele Santana, Jock Stien, Arrigo Sacchi, Rinus Michels, Johan Cruyff and Bill Shankley.
I picked those people in that order for various reasons, not just for achievements that are obvious.
Even though I chose those eight I'm not really happy saying this, as there are too many things to consider and too many great managers, too many great achievements, too many countries and too much time to include to get a true understanding of who is the best or GOAT.
For example Helenio Herrera, Brian Clough, Marcelo Bielsa and Ernst Happel could all be considered for various reasons.
There are endless possibilities from various scenarios for the many contexts that exist within football to genuinely know for sure who is the best football manager when you take all of these variables into account. If Alex Ferguson went to Chelsea instead of Mourinho and was told he could purchase any player he wanted as the funds are endless he might have tried to create something he had never done before and have a team that attacks continuously.
If someone said who is the best doctor in the world, ever. How would you even go about choosing such a thing. Also as I mentioned above, there are too many things to consider such as; what contribution does a manager who is viewed as influential actually offer, or does a manager contribute more in the background than is known in public, or is a manager's success largely down to the structure of the football club which includes strategies and techniques inherited from other people, or how much of a manager's success is due to being able to afford the best and most suitable players, or how did a football manager handle both setbacks and opportunities.
That's my take on things anyway if I'm being totally honest with myself
Jamie Simms fair play, we are all entitled to our opinion and I donât disagree with your thoughts.
My favourite thing about this team was their determination. They played like their lives depended on winning.
Every Fergie team. Their lives did depend on it.
@@craigmasson6176 Itâs why the players who plays for him always seem to look better than they actually are.
Pique still played for United in 07/08 season and he actually scored two goals in this Champions League campaign
Pique won 2 UCL in 2 years with 2 different clubđ
@@kasumi9015 Samuel eto too..barca and Inter milan
@@kasumi9015 Etoo won 2 trebles in 2 yrs
@@adityaparmar6433 yeah
Piqué bocketed Totti in Studio Olympia and scored
Pique was still part of the squad. But mostly bench player.
Herry Mkilaha Agreed, he was sold before the 2008/09 season
I was about to say this, he was on loan to Zaragoza in the 06/07.
@@oiram89 He won back2back UCLâs basically đ
Sir alex is honestly the best manager to ever grace the sport coming from a lifelong liverpool fan
I know the 99 treble team is the most accomplished but I think the 2008 side had most skill. Vds was a world class keeper, vidic and Ferdinand was the best defensive partnership. Evra and brown worked tremendously hard at full back. Scholes and carrick absolutely controlled games in the middle of the park. Giggs bought experience and technique, Nani has all the flair in the world, park was an engine that could mark/press anyone for 90 mins. Hargreaves was very good wide midfielder. Then you had the best front 3 in British history. Tevez, Rooney and ronaldo could all rotate, play up top and on the wings. Tevez was a great pocher. Rooney was Englandâs golden boy and could play on the wing or though the middle. Finally ronaldo was simply extraordinary that year, he became the best in the world and scored pretty much every match.
Agreed
True
And they did all that without a consistent RB
@@paradoxr.n.o8688 Wes Brown played the majority of games that year at RB.
Different times, different types of players and tactics. Letâs not forget the teams that 99 team played against and out played too. I think both are great and offer something different. The only real difference maker is probably Ronaldo.
I will never forget a goal that went lighting fast from Evra to Saha to Ronaldo, the length of the pitch in like 5 seconds. Thrilling!
Can you please say what match is it
Yes tell us the match
Evra, Ferdinand and Vedic đ„ Giggs, Carrick and Scholes đ„Ronaldo (still flying up the wing or making diagonal runs), Tevez and Rooneyđ„ and then for a minute Berbatov. So much fun, and playing against those incredible Chelsea and Barcelona sides?! A golden era.

@@erikanders9038 they used to be mesmerising during that period of 2002-04. Too bad they ended up down there
Herry Mkilaha you forgot 16/17 Chelsea
@@zakattack7896 he has done that already if i am not mistaken
Im not suprised that they won CL + PL, but im more suprised that SAF won the league (12-13) with a bang avr.team đ€
SAF = GOAT
And he did it with a relatively crappy team with just RVP, Rooney and De Gea. Ferdinand and Vidic weren't in their prime. Compared to the other title challenging teams in the league that season, it was definately below par. Yet, he did it.
@Nolan O'Gara IKR, all his best players were past their prime, it was just rooney and de gea. And back then valencia and ashley young were also good, but were no match to the rest of europe. He still managed to reach the final.
@Nolan O'Gara you mean overachievement. Moyes' time show just great fergie was. to be frank, if Moyes gotten in Fabregas, Kroos in, and kept Ferie's coaching staff, he would have started right
@Nolan O'Gara yeah. He is good for Everton but man utd too big a step up. Mourinho would hv been better joining in 2013 than in 2016.
If you think 2013 United is average than you clearly didn't watch the 2nd leg against real Madrid
this side had pace and strength. with every member running to get the ball
I didn't watch the team play much but always heard that this team was an absolute joy to watch.
They were amazing. This is the year that football overtook cricket and became my first love. It was all thanks to this team
@@thabanentshangase it was the last great team of United sadly..ronaldo and tevez departure completely destroyed that team đ„

They were once feared by every clubs.
It's an unforgettable season for my favorite team. Thank you Football Made Simple.
this was the greatest Man UTD side ever
they were just too good and such a class and demanded respect
Look how good Ronaldo was, he didn't need Wes Brown to overlap to help offensive position. In the other hand, Giggs and Evra work collaboratively with Rooney comes wide. Defensively, 4 backs are rock-solid with Van der Sar at the goal. Then Scholes with his accurate and brilliant pass could bring in good tempo with make some space. Other than that, look subtitute player like Park, Hagreaves etc did very well for their each role. Lower my hat to this Manchester United team man, how good they really was đ€ đ€©đ
Amazing video tho...đČ
Classic sides suggestions:
Rafa Benitez's Valencia
2014 Atletico Madrid
LVG Ajax
Frank Rijkaards Barca
...and of course VfL Bochum under Peter Neururer.
Thanks for mentioning Rijkaard Barca! People only remember Pep's
@@orenigarevignet-ingueza It's because barca were Trophy less 2 season in a row under rijkaard...
@@taskinkhan5197 I understand but it shouldn't be the case because the fact remains that they managed a double in 2006 ! That Arsenal team was the last time Arsenal was at its peak ! Gunners were a good side.
@@orenigarevignet-ingueza after winning double in 2005-6 baca didnât win a single trophy in 2006-7 and 2007-8 season..that's why rijkaard is underrated..pep took charge and won them treble instantly.that's why Pep gets so much praise...
A video on the 2005 / 2006 Barcelona side would be more than welcome as everyone tends to think only of the Pep Guardiola era understandably as they were outstanding but the 2005/06 squad made more than one dream...
This side was obviously legendary, but it's interesting how close Chelsea came to upstaging them both domestically and continentally.
That Chelsea side under mourinho? One of the most underrated squads in bpl history, on form drogba kalou anelka lampard was terrifying for any back 4 to handle and Iâm a through and through united fan.. ps we was still better;)
â@@Kaspahhhnah. The one of Avram Grant and Guus Hidding was probably better. For sure better in Europe
Chelsea was a better team all around properly. United just had Ronaldo to depend on. Chelseas GK, defense and midfield was probably better
If Sir Alex had this current united squad, They will be one of the best in the whole Europe.
I dont think so, not unless Ferguson adopted today's high intensity pressing game.
I think a clue is how Pep dismantled this very 06-08 United side with his Barca side, playing tika-taka. Unless Ferguson adapted his tactics and adopted the modern style, he would have become outdated, as Mourinho and Wenger became.
@@laislabonita kills me to say but I actually agree, he left on top as he should off, the goat
Ronaldo even in his physical prime was never meant to track back with both SAF and Mourinho. Someone pls explain this to Eric Ten Hag
It just shows that Fergie's consistant approach having kept 4 defenders instead of having 3 in today's football era is the winning formula for all European leagues.
I would love the next one to be Barcelona's 1992 Johan cruyff team or Guardiola's 2011 team
This is great to watch. I love football but have never played it and don't know much about tactics. So learning loads from this. Great stuff guys. đđ
this is one of the reasons why i always wanted united to try and appoint carlos queiroz as united manager
13/14 Atletico Madrid La Liga title winning UCL finalists
This analysis was fantastic so imagine how hard and fantastic it was for Alex Ferguson to visualise this and put it together without nothing to go on. A footballing genius
Thanks for your work. First time to watch a tactical analysis of Man Utd that I loved back 15 years ago.
Great memories, thank you
Great Video once again bru !! Please do the Carlo Ancelotti AC MILAN teams that won the CL
the key is permutations and precisions in attack and defense, sir alex also creating positioning discipline to create triangles to open up opponent spaces whoever they are when they in possesions in any side of opponent area, simple but powerful at his era, salute đ
I miss this united
Man I loved watching this team đ
Great stuff FMS, can you do the tactical analysis of Chelsea's 04/05 & 05/06 Jose Mourinho's league winning side
Thanks for the video as a United fan it made me relax a bit
Fergie Manchester United were so good to watch..
Fast attacking football
I missed that teamđđđ
Better gameplay with some direct football back then while nowadays we play some possession based football in this modern football which we couldn't adapt that kind style of play tho đąđąđą.
Brilliant analysis mate
Great series! Keep it up!
Great video, i would like to see Barcelona analise with guardiola and Messi.
As a Liverpool supporter, we hate him so much but can't deny the legacy he left in Utd. Finding the perfect replacement will not be easy, and it winning another EPL could be another 30 years.
Tevez's work rate was extraordinary. I remember Rio once quoting - Tevez wouldn't train much during practice sessions and spend more time in gym but he'd run around everywhere in a match almost as if he was saving all his week's energy during practice to unleash himself in a match. I'd have been happier if United signed him after his loan spell instead of signing Berbatov in the following season.
Watching this as a Liverpool supporter. I am just like Montgomery studying Rommel!
These are my go-to videos for my fm tactics lol
Quality content, quality channel, quality supporters
I enjoyed it!! Next, Uniteds treble season!!
thank you and enjoyed alot
Hold up, Gerard Pique left Manchester United in the summer of 2008/2009. He was part of the United team that won the UCL and EPL double.
but he on loan
@@darksied7628 he was on loan at Zaragoza for the 2006/2007 season. He was back at United in the 2007/2008 season where in the UCL he only managed to start twice (they had Vidic and Rio, so yeah). He scored in both of those Champions League group stage games for United against Dynamo Kiev and AS Roma.
@@simokojamesphiri7924 he on loan in January i guess
It's surreal to believe that sir Alex had whole different 11 fit to play
Great vid! Can you also consider checking out Ancelotti's Milan side? Maybe 2005, 2007, or the era in general, but regardless, I think that would be a cool topic.
Can you do Antonio Conteâs Chelsea please. Devastating team with quality players.
Can you talk about Inter Milanâs dominance during 2010 and the tactical analysis behind their glory?
Bus parking single philosophy used by inter
It's a pity Tavez performance didn't last more than 1 season
Man, if only United stayed like that till now
Great video.
Great video! And I'm a Liverpool fan
Keep it simple đ
This was an amazing video! Can you please analyse the Barca 2010/11 side??
An outstanding team, what are your favourite memories of this great side?
Jupp heynckes treble
Manchester United Sir Alex Ferguson!!!!!!!!
Plz do The Greatest Barca side of all time. Take the ball, Pass the ball doesn't do them enough justice. 09/10
Antonio Conteâs Chelsea please.
I can never forget the night United battered Arsenal in the Emirates on the 2nd leg of 2009 UCL Semifinal.
Cristiano Ronaldo made me fall in love with football, even I started to mimicking his style when I was young, before Guardiola's Barcelona arrived.
One thing for certain, this is one of the proper modern football teams which I like the most before Guardiola's 2008-2012 Barcelona, Pochettino's 2015-2018 Tottenham, Bielsa's Bilbao, Klopp's Dortmund and Liverpool (I just don't like the way they deal with Simeone's Atletico Madrid in 2020), Italy in EURO 2012, 2008-2013 Spain, Conte's 2016-2017 Chelsea, Simeone's Cholismo Atletico Madrid and Mourinho's 2009-2010 Internazionale. This wass also the team which introduced me on how to play modern football.
Unfortunately it took me about 5 years to recognize similarities of Busquets' and Carrick's role within the team which reintroduce me the Makelele role in the form of N'Golo Kante.
Tifo Football even said Mourinho's 2004-2007 Chelsea was one of the reasons why SAF able to create this wonderful Manchester United team with Carlos Queiroz on his side.
This 2006-2009 Manchester United could had gone for the Treble but yeah, FA Cup and The League Cup still had their magic.
By the way, I wonder if you can make videos about tactical evolutions and revolutions of national teams, especially teams in the East Asia since you mentioned Park Ji Sung in this video, one of South Korea's 1st Golden Generation players (sorta).
Amazing videos, can you look back at one of Villarreal's great sides? (Senna, Sorin, Riquelme, Forlan team) or (Bruno ,Carzola, Pires, Rossi team)
Through the 90s I really hated Man Utd for winning ALL THE FREAKING TIME but 04/05 to 07/08 I came to respect Fergie for the way he responded to the challenges around him.
can you do pep how he evolved from barca, bayern and man city?
Do a video on Real Madrid 2011/12. They were an unstoppable machine scoring goals from left, right and centre. They were only unlucky not to win UCL.
Simeone must learn from fergie how to using 4-4-2 tactic
Not just Ferguson's greatest team but the 08 team was the best prem team of all time
Agree with all the talent and tactics. But The 99 team won all with only shear determination, hard work, commitment n dedication....
Yes it was another level of emotion. Respect to z team, unfortunately not seen nowadays.....
Now even big big money is not working for MU at that time recruitment was very few but gosh what impact they had and how much they lasted....
Strongest united team everr
Ronaldo played left most of the season, as he Alex used him as an inverted winger because of his ability to cut in and shoot with his right foot. While Evra overlapped behind Ronaldo for crosses.
It is the best Man Utd team in my opinion, maybe the best team in Premier League history based on personell, I mean player for player.
Manchester United â€ïžđ„
If you watch properly ole's united are also following pretty much the same where attackers rotate positions
10/10 video
Would you consider doing an analysis on Liverpool 08-09 team. I know they didn't win any silverware but they are one of the of most tactically interesting teams of that time and one of the best teams to never win the title.
Had there not been the ownership and financial struggles of Hicks and Gillet, I believe there is a good chance that Liverpool team could have won the 2009-10 or 2010-11 title. They could have retained players such as Mascherano, Alonso, Arbeloa, and Torres while being able to add quality players such as Gareth Barry, a back-up for Torres, and a winger like A. Young. Also, Man Utd were significantly weakened during this time after losing CR7 and Tevez along with Chelsea winning the league w only 86 points (which was Liverpool's point tally in 08/09).
Good video. Without ronaldo there would still have been the best in england but with him they were an unstoppable force. The team was built around him whereas the treble season was more of a collective brilliance.
People that say ronaldo was a midfielder needs to watch this seriously
Do one on Pep's Barça as well as Cruyff's "Dream Team" Barça
It would be interresting to see a video about the netherlands 1974 world cup team.
More tactics Manchester United!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey man,please make a video on van nistelroy
Please make a video on 6 outstanding strikers FROM Atletico Madrid between 2005 and 2019 with the likes of Torres, Forlan, Aguero, Falcao, Costa, Griezmann
Do a video about Chicharito Hernandes under SIr Ferguson. As a Mexican that was my first contact with english football
How I wish I could go back to 2006/07
I remember this team I hated them but they great to watch coming from an arsenal fan
Now oles inspiration becomes so obvious
Can you make a same video about rafa benitaz's liverpool
Looking back at all the interviews of Rooney Rio Vidic etc. I am convinced that if Sir Alex put his pride and ego aside to play âfront foot footballâ and just sat back in a low block and hit Barcelona on the counter in the 2009 and 2011 UCL finals, United would have won those. At least 2009 for sure.
And instead of playing his main controlling midfielder in Scholes he went for legs in Anderson (2009) and Park (2011).
P.S. Barcelona shouldnât have been in either of those finals in the first place (2009 Chelsea scandal and 2011 Arsenal round of 16 robbery).
Great analysis but he started with very wrong information. Gerard Pique wasn't sold after the 2007 season. He was a member of the 2008 Champions league winning team and actually scored against Roma in a 1-1 group stage game in Rome. He was in suit in the final in Moscow and celebrated with the players on the pitch after we won against Chelsea. He was sold after we won the Champions league and won it again the very next year with Barcelona in 2009.
I always thought they could have done the treble again that season if Fergie didn't fall out with Keane... I guess we'll never know
Nahh, Keane was gone by 2005
A video on what made MSN good tactically would be good.
Shame about Man United's current situation.
This squad was skilful while also having physical prowess. Nowadays, you very much as touch Martial or Rashford and down they go. Bruno is skilful okay but again no physical prowess. Park Ji Sung was our version of Messi. Ferdinand and Vidic were rock solid. They literally gave everything to the game. Now we have Maguire who doesnât know what to do on the pitch and Wan Bissaka who essentially plays with just one foot, the left one doesnât work. McTom, Ronaldo and may be Sancho are the only ones who can take on players physically. I love McTomâs aggression, he doesnât hold back but he too needs to improve a lot. Ander Herrera was good too. The rest are sissies. The current team is more focused on their social bio, cars and appearance, flaunting new styles every week. If they can devote some time from all this to playing proper football thereâs hope we can achieve something under the new manager. GGMU đŽ
I thought Park was more of a Kante
Please do Chelsea 2004/05
3rd time I have commented, Bayern Munich 2012-13 plzz
Because everyone prefers dortmund đ
Pls Do a video on Wenger's arsenal 03-04
Can you do a video on why Lampard and Gerard never worked together?
Sir Alex Ferguson best coach in the world....forever
Now days man united players just don't have the same winning mindset it seemed like the team was just comfortable with "GETTING CLOSE ENOUGH" but now Ronaldo came back and Sancho and some saying Haaland might join the team is genuinely looking scary again I can't wait to see man united win trophies again
Although they won the treble in 99, This team was the greatest United team ever. They were in 3 CL finals in 4 years. Very unlucky that they hit their peak right around the time Pep's Barcelona was destroying everyone
simple and pragmatic tactics that work. Why aren't more teams employing the two defensive midfielders? Now it's press press press
Not, a man utd fan but i consider Carrick and Scholes to be the most underrated players in history of English football
Defo scholes and Carrick at the base and Gerrard doing damage further up the pitch
Do one on Arsenalâs invincibles
Greatest team PL history. Dominated in the best PL era.
