I don't like the running tracks. These are athletics stadiums. Not football stadiums. Visibility is low and the the atmosphere is cold. All the rest is top class
I don't like the running tracks and i don't know why they build so much stadiums with running tracks in Germany in the 60s and 70s. For example I can' t remember any athletics events for in Hamburg or Schalke.
I Always considered that Yohan Cruijff one of the Kings of the football. I will never forget him and neskeens. In other side, i loved Paul breitner west Germany. I know the the football. Moroccan fan of those 3 players.
Franz Beckenbauer had come and gone before my time, but its thanks to something like youtube that I can discover a player who was the epitome of class. He had this calmness on the ball, like he made everything look so easy, but what he did was incredibly difficult. My all time favorite player.
Absolutely right, not just Beckenbauer, other players like Pele, Jarzinho, Crujff, Mueller, Moore, Hurst. Those of us who weren't born or old enough to remember them, can now watch how they really played, thanks to CZcams.
Firstly, high quality video. Secondly, high quality match. According to this highlight they played as if there were no tomorrow. Thank you for the upload.
@@glaswegiansouth-side2350 To the best of my recollection (and I might be wrong), I think Barcelona did not allow him to play. There was no FIFA days back then, . This was a game I think on 75 anniversary of German football federation, and I am assuming that clubs were not obligated to release their players for such friendly games.. Note that Johan Neeskens who was also playing for Barca at that time is absent as well. If my recollection is wrong, then Cruyff must have been injured.
Thanks for posting although it seems a lot of the linchpins of both sides were missing from this match. Still a lot of quality on display and Bonhoff particularly effective. No Resenbrink, Krol Neeskens Muller, Breitner or Netzer though but never low intensity between these sides / nations.
I dont understand why once many football matches were played in the daytime, now almost all in the night. I think that footbal with natural light is better and more enyioable spectacle than at night
Other than those great Brazilian teams, I think these two teams from that era are the greatest of all time. German teams have been the most consistent teams since the 1950s, the Dutch, they were great in the 1970's but went flat in the 1980s, they had a bit of a resurgence in the 1990s and 2000s, and did well in the 2010s, but they never had the same caliber of a team that they had between 1974-78
1988 Euro winner. 1990 WC lost against later winner 1994 WC lost against later winner 92,96,98, 2000 Euro and WC all penalty losses in semi finals (except 96 quarter) In the 90's, the Netherlands had a team that made every other country tremble with fear. A wonder they hadn't won a cup and always lost on penalties.
7:11 I don't think I've ever seen anyone take a free kick like that. Threatens to shoot directly at the goal but does a short pass instead. Although not perfectly executed, it's still quite brilliant.
Grandes craques na Europa ! Kevin kegan , yorran croif, beckenbaue , Pool Breitner, os irmaos Rene vander kerkof e wylyi vander kerkof , e ainda bons italianos e Espanhóis
A lot of Dutch players were B- players. Zuidema, van der Kerkhof, Peters. Everse, Thijssen, Schrijvers. Nice to see van der Kuijlen. He was one of the best Dutch players of the seventies but Cruijff and Van der Kuijlen were no friends.. Such a pity.
Yes Cruyff & Neeskens absent, Van der Kuijlen and Thijjsen were both world class players aswell , Van der Kuijlen refused a transfer to Real Madrid and Marseille were after Thijjsen and Van Hanegam .......
I was always disappointed that Van der Kuijlen didn’t go to Argentina 78 when Cruyff pulled out, he could have showed the world he was class, but Cruyff will always be the Dutch master....
Let's compare... Germany : World Cup 1970 The Thired Euro 1972 The Champion World Cup 1974 The Champion Euro 1976 The Second. Lost by penility So let's guess who's the best...
Great to have these old school games to see in this c19 horrible time with no live football on , but I still hope we get to finnish all Leagues on the with or without fans!
For all Dutch players just the fact that they play against such glorious football legends like beckenbauer bonhoff wimmer breitner and maier is an amazing football experience.
I don't think players like Rudy Krol and Wim Van Hane gem who had already won 3 and 1 Cl (older format) respectfully, needed this match to get experience!! Breitner was not playing in this game. Your comment would have been true if you had mentioned the young Dutch players such as Jan Peters.
It's amazing how much football has evolved since then. Imagine for example japan of the now playing England or Germany of the 1975 the results would be disastrous!
Ken Norton yes it would be disastrous as Japan would lose. Has Japan ever had any player who would be even close to Beckenbauer in class and I don't mean class compared to time but just absolute class?
Deutschland and Nederland of the 70s were high class football, national teams and club football in their own leagues and european international football and they had many big star players.

England were only mediocre because of moribund management. The players were there,they always have been. Sadly the best manager,Brian Clough,was criminally overlooked.Nor was he the only one! To this day,simply yes-men.
Poland were pretty close too. Breitner and Beckenbauer both said they were the best in '74. Indeed statistically Poland had the best record - 6 wins (incl. against Argentina, Brazil, Italy + England in qualification), most goals (16!) and the top scorer (Lato). Deyna was rated 3rd best player behind Cruijf and Beckenbauer and Zmuda was voted best young player. Poland played Holland five times between 1969 and 1979 (Cruijf was in four of those games) - with 3 wins and just 1 defeat.
