How good was Oscar Emboaba actually? #GOAT
New video about one of the most controversial and naturally talented players we've seen over the 2010's in football. In this episode we take on Oscar Emboaba who played for Chelsea, São Paulo, Internacional and Shanshai SIPG for most of his career.

Oscar was the only one in the brazilian national team that managed to score v Germany during WC 2014 in the 7-1 loss. He didn't go for having a career in football, he went to support his family as they came from very poor conditions, and he's not the first one to do so. I'd do the same tbf.
Agreed.
@AKXU L
@AKXU L means loss
He was on massive money already and was already a millionaire many times over by the time he went to China..... He was earning £150k a week at Chelsea.
I'm not blaming the guy for deciding the massive wages in China were more important to him than his legacy and prestige as a player... He gave that and his international career up for more money than anyone could ever spend. Lets not pretend this was some poor kid from the slums going to China just so he could feed his family and give them a comfortable life. Him and his family were already set up for life.
@@paulos9900 he saw his father die and leaving them with nothing, saw his best friend die too, that's when he panicked
I read an article about Oscar's interview about this. The family here is not just like "mom and sisters" but he also provides around 100 people of his big family, like cousins, nephews/nieces, and probably his wife's big family too. Giving them the best life, education, and small business to escape the poverty. Can't really blame him about his move to china.
but you can’t be responsible for everybody’s life in your family. Helping us ok but trying to save them is a different thing
100 is an over exaggeration. I read last year that he is the sole breadwinner of his family of 22 members
Tbh, even if he didn't do it for the family, it was a professional decision which he felt right. People should've nothing against him for earning more money. Fame and legacy is not something everyone wants/needs in their life.
@@deathstroke7316 they will finish his money and make him one of them later in life lol ,save yourself first
Unfortunately he has to be that guy to help everyone
respect for Oscar for being honest about him playing football for the money the difference between him and players like Neymar and bale is that Oscar is honest and doesn’t care about the attention
Making this kind of move at the end of your career to financially ensure your future is understandable. This guy left at the top of his career. If he had stayed in Europe he would have made millions as well. Now he is and will forever stay a nobody. Not worth the money...
You need to rewatch the video. He very much felt it was the end of his career. Frequent injuries, getting dropped from the team etc. he decided to cash out while he still had a chance. People forget that footballers have a very small window to make these decisions for their future and family. The average career lasts only 8 years.
Respect? Honest? He’s not as good as Bale and Neymar.
Their wage demands is justifiable as they’re amongst the best in the world. No one would exactly complain as they have also somehow justified their wages.
If Oscar was honest, he wouldn’t take that much salary as he wasn’t that good of a player.
I have zero respect for him. He had/has the talent to be earning crazy good money for a top club in europe, earning respect and winning important domestic and European trophies.
@@oluwafemiajose948 Benzema was heavily criticized at Real Madrid and had to be defended by Cristiano Ronaldo. Now he is a future ballon d'or.
He didn't do it for the money. He didn't do it for fame. He did it for family. Respect to the man.
I remember Oscar very clearly as the only player who put up a decent performance in that Germany Brazil 7-1 match. Scored their only goal, if I'm correct.
correct
True. Self righteous people criticizing him who have never known what it means to not know where your next meal is coming from. Or to be the sole breadwinner of a massive extended family and have a limited number of years to make those resources.
Yes he was, and did score that lone goal. I've always loved his game as I did Kaka's. I'm biased as I've always been a midfielder of course 😆
Yess I remembered this he scored a goal then
True bro
"He gave it all up to help his family*" truly great guy
But he wants to play for China . That's a disgrace
@@jesusisking8856 lmaoo what?
@@jesusisking8856 how ?? Lmao 🤣 at that period only china league could pay such salary
@@jesusisking8856 ,if u are the one u will do the same.nothing is shame dere,it is his life not yours
He could have had a good enough wage everywhere with how good he was, he was too hasty and wasted his career
Oscar is a good responsible young man who shared his blessings with a massive extended family. God bless you for that, son!
I’m a Chelsea fan but I still like Oscar and I understand totally why he did what he did and I like that he was at least honest about it. Same with Mbappe, sometimes it’s better to think about generational wealth and making sure your family are okay
You are right brother , Family is everything,
what did mbappe do?
Idk about mbappe if he join Real Madrid he still would be making double digits millions !! At real also your dream club who wouldn’t do that
@@barca-amir they just hating Mbappe for no reason
Right you cannot feed trophies to your family
Man should take care of himself and his family first and foremost... screw whatever anyone says
He does not owe any of us anything ...
Money over glory! SHAMEFUL…left football out the back door 🚪 SMH
@@light_angel.23 that's his profession. Wouldn't you change your job for twice the salary?
I dunno you know life in China is
Even if they offer you money
They will pimp him out.
He will never truly have his freedom
Sao Paolo was rather disgusting there, you don't pay the man for 12 months & then when he succeeds, you want him back.
Paulinho (DM) played in China then went to Barcelona afterwards and was a key player for them the following season. Oscar still has the quality to play in a European top league if he can stay healthy and motivated. Can't blame the guy for taking generational wealth after what he experienced growing up TBH (and seems many Brazilian footballers are in the same boat).
It's surprising no European club want to give him chance back in higher stage.
I’ll always sum up Oscar as talented and honest. Cash is cash and we don’t stay young forever.
I would also do the same , money is money.. We don't stay healthy all our lives, he didnt choose to live his own life but also live for his family
@@imlinungbawalling7913 Didnt chelsea pay him well?
Yup me too I'd do the same.
@@scarecrow9474 the Chinese team paid quadruple, in 4 years there he made more than he would have in 16 years at Chelsea.
Oscar may have never reached his true potential but he won a lot of people for his brutal honesty. He sacrificed his career to help his family.
Was £150k a week not enough ? That's 10x what some people in Europe earn in a year.... earned in a week.
@@paulos9900 exactly he was already earning millions I don't see the point of generational wealth
He was earning enough, people are talking like Chelsea were paying him pennies
@@ErnestHemingway00 You don't see the point if having enough money to ensure that future generations of your family will live good lives?
@ Josh, sounds more like luxurious life. But all power to him.
Not everybody plays football to be an icon, or to break records or win trophies. Many truthfully play to escape their situation. A lot of people need to understand this, a lot of athletes are athletes to pay the bills and couldn’t care less about prestige or honour and that is 100% respectable asf. For many football was the gateway to a better life
Afterall being football player is also a job and not a hobby for some people.
It's crazy that he just turned 30. Sometimes I wonder what if he stayed with us. My favorite Chelsea trio of all time.
I watched most games of under 20 WC in 2011 and Olympics 2012. He was certainly the star along with Neymar and Lucas Moura. I wish he'd have come back to Europe after 3-4 years in China, may be to La Liga or Seria A. Always exciting to watch.
I love your video's....you put so much effort in researching and presenting in your video's hope you never stop posting
Oscar, Hazard, Mata, cesc, Diego Costa 😢😢 😢 that team was incredible. just remembering that Chelsea team make me wanna ffs
Let's be frank, everyone does what they do for money because doing what you love without being able to take care of the ones you love is a complete waste of time.
Well, I'm Brazilian and I really respect Oscar. He could be a better player in a better club, I'm certain of that. But he has chosen money over his career. Being poor isn't a thing that I'm proud of, and if I had the chance, I would make the same.
Man, you are really make great videos that I really enjoy. Keep up the great work!
Sir, I love your videos.
I'm a Ghanaian and was surprised you took notice Asamoah Gyan was among those who went to China for money.
Can you please make a video of his career, from the early stages through to the
2010 world cup, and ended up in different countries including china. It would be very good if you could make the research.
A lot of Ghanaians and even Europeans would love to know about his story.
Thank you
oh my god, a documentary on my favourite player !!!! love it!!
He is a honest guy, he didn't want to end up broke like other Brazilian players . after all football is about money presently.
It's not like he wasn't been well paid in Chelsea. He was already millionaire, but yeah, he decided for a lot more money than he already had. If it's true that he helps A LOT o people than he's right.
Aw yes, because he was living below the poverty line with his Chelsea salary.
He won’t have been broke if he invested. I mean look at the branding of Ronaldo, Messi and other great players. Football is global. Some Brazilians go broke because they have financial illiteracy
I remember Oscar because he is surpisingly my favourite player of all time, loved the way he played and he's the reason I often would like to play as a CAM.
same
Same it is a shame he plays in China now. I would still love to see him at Chelsea again
I’ll never forget that goal against juve
Thanks man !!!!!! Was waiting for this video
Magnificent as always
The 1st 2 minutes of his story is all you need to know about why he went for the money, he experienced everything vanishing just like that & how he & his fam had to suffer so he never wanted to risk that happening again, I really thought he had a chance to be a different version of kaka , I watched him & neymar & gabigol & that whole generation come up it was fun
so 10k at chelsea wasnt enough to feed his kids?
100k*
@@itz_lenyx9862 this is obviously above your intellectual grade my guy, let it go
He was good but the truth is he disappeared a lot in games and Mourinho wrongfully chose selling Mata and keeping him, he was good but he was no where near Kaka’s ability.
@@scottxtapes9743 if your 1st memory of his is under mourinho you don’t know who Oscar is lol relax
There was a period in time that Brazil had some interesting players that just went up in smoke. Pato, Ganso, Oscar are 3 of recent memory i remember. Oscar was the best of the 3 by far it still is a shame.
Hmmmm say what ... you think Oscar was better than Pato lol
@@dappadondadda100 Yeah. I have watched Pato play and he was good.
Pato > Oscar 🙄
Please STFU. Pato is a legend at AC Milan. Did you see his goals in UCL. Pato is way better than Oscar. Oscar can't even clean his shoes. What are you saying
Oscar is the best player from Brazil after Neymar this generation. He is the only Brazilian player with good fundamentals.
I still remember how much shit people gave him for going to China when they would DEFINITELY follow in his footsteps, if they could
nah 25k at chelsea is still gonna feed the fam and make you a lavish lifestyle🤷🏾♂🤷🏾♂
@@itz_lenyx9862 he was paid 25k per week at Chelsea? Damn. I thought EPL top leagues pay like a minimum of 100k per week
@@itz_lenyx9862 he had to feed 100 plus people.
I remember the brilliance of this man
Hey i love your videos and would love to see a video on james rodriguez he was so big after his world cup performance. And now is in quatar, i feel it would make a great video keep up the great content 👍
Honest, hardworking man ♥️🙏🏾
Bunch of people in the comments saying they don’t respect him, well he’ll retire a multi millionaire and you’re commenting on a video about him
lol so true
He was my favorite Chelsea player back in the day. Even now, I'd love to see him wear the blue jersey at least once, again.
8:02, I see you sneak my man Tim Cahill into the compilation, but that volley was something insane tbf
It is mind blowing thinking it has been around 8 years since he was at Chelsea
January 2017. That's closer to 5 years than 8.
I still remember him , he had really high potential and i wasent even a chelsea fan but it was great watching him play
as a Chelsea fan and a Brazilian fan .
I salute Oscar for he is greatly talented and has the winning spirit always 🙏God bless Oscar.to the 1000 generation.
Mourinho should bring him back to Roma, he could be tried for a season and see if the spark is still there
That's actually kinda genius
@@DailyDoseOfFootballYT Indeed, only Mourinho can do and he needs this calibre of players too.
Great channel mate I'm glad I came across it . ENGLAND..
I really like your content, can you covered up some other World Cup player like Careca, Rudy Ruud Gullit and Roger Milla
*Bro put his family first and was honest why he went to 🇨🇳 He will always be respected highly at Chelsea. Nobody can take away that he was one of the main contributors to winning the Premier League!*
He's still good enough to play in top european teams.. It is shocking and sad that he isn't getting Brazil call up probably because he's playing in China and not in top 5 European leagues...
I like your voice 🤟 keep it up men I hope at end of this year you rech 1m 😏
Respect for him because money without fame is best thing. He can enjoy his life peacefully.
Keep him coming, bro! Can't wait to see a video on the Brazilian Ronaldo 😊
Isn't that R9🤨
@@sachinvinod4720 indeed it is 😊 he goes by many names but i say the Brazilian so there's no confusion. The fenómeno 💪
Ohh ok, thought you didn't know who r9 was and was referring to somebody else🤣
He clearly came into the game to make a living for his family,that was his goal and objective,at the end of Road he achieved everything he set out to achieve..
His family is in a better place...The rest doesn't matter
Good info !
From Zimbabwe
Sou torcedor do Internacional, adorei sua pronuncia hahaha Aqui só passa jogador esquisito, de Pato a Oscar. PORÉM, estou ansioso pelo dia que você for fazer um vídeo de Paulo Roberto Falcão
Amazing videos you are putting out
Can you please make a video about Georgi Kinkladze
we miss him ... hopefully he come back .... best luck
I understand that the money was too tempting. But it is just a shame we never saw Oscar play in one of the top 5 leagues at his peak. He could probably have been one of the star players of any of the top clubs in those leagues.
Even while young at Chelsea he was a very good player.
I think his peak came really early.
Naah it ain't too late, I'd like to see him back in Europe and back in the famous Yellow shirt.
I just want to say I love this video, thank you, you just reminds me of Oscar
Oscar was one of the it kids, one of those rising talents everyone talked about & then he suddenly disappeared.
I remember one thing about him, when Brazil got absolutely crushed by our World Cup Winning Team in 2014, he refused to give up and even scored a goal in the now legendary 7-1 semi final. I always respected that about him. Now that i know he only did go to China to be able to provide for his Family, i respect him even more. He has his priorities set right.
ONCE YOU RETIRE, youre the only one who'll remember your achievements and they won't matter when you're broke...but your family will benefit forever from the bag...if i was Oscar I was also gonna take the bag,over 100m z a lot
He was one of the first players i looked up to when i started getting into football
He won loads of trophies and wanted to financially make his kids kids kids life's better. Good 4 him
oscar did the right thing at the end of the day he has to think of himself and his family and secure wealth for generations to come so I don’t see anything wrong with him going to china
No he doesn't he has to spend it on wine women and song As many women as he can get partying and fashion
He was making good money in chelsea dude…when is enough enough ? Wealth for the generations to come is also tricky…your offspring needs to work for themselves too…read buddenbrooks.
Bruh
Oscar had to feed his extended family not just his wife and children
And maybe ur OK with leaving ur family with little but u didn't grow up like Oscar
U probably live in a decent house in a relatively safe area
He grew up in the slums
See the difference here
@@donaldvanvliet9039 what makes you think good money to you is good money to him?
@@petma5551 the amount.
Amazing research
Oscar had my respect for his honesty 👏
people were hoping Neymar up but Oscar was always my favorite qnd also the fact that he eventually came to my club Chelsea was incredible coincidence I was very surprised he went but hey we have to look out for own good sometimes.
He is a great player - loved watching him play at Chelsea. Come play in the States!!!
There's no money in the state
Oscar believe me I never forgot him since 2014!
It's just that I hardly remember anything about him!
Hope he achieves great in his life♥️👍
is better to leave at the top of your form and leave people speechless by disappoint them
than leave when ur at the bottom and give everyone satisfaction of u leaving
Respect the accent💯
I LOVE HIS DECISION.HE IS A MAN,AND A MAN KNOWS WHAT HE WANTS AND GOES. FOR IT
Back in 2015 when I got my first salary I bought two chelsea Oscar shirts for me....I still miss him😥
I just wish him well. Sometimes in life we are forced to take decisions. He put his family before him. Respect. He can still make money in Europe, but the fear of going broke made him move to China, seeing he might actually be the only bread winner of the family.
This video makes me cry
Respect Oscar. He did play for the money which can help his family to have a better life
He will always be one of my favourite Chelsea's player..
Indeed,Oscar boss is a honest footballer who could have played for the Italian national team instead,but he would surely come back from his career debacle!!!🙏
Good Video 💥🥰🥰🥰
Diego Costa ,Oscar ,Hazard broo Chelsea was something else back then
Crazy to think that a team like that didn't win a CL, but the one with Havertz and Mount did
He had an objective and he simply kept his focus on that...Perfect execution!
Oscar was really good. I am no Chelsea fan but I enjoyed watching him play. It was sad to see him leave. He had a Kaka style of play.
One of your clips is Timmy Cahil of Australia 8:01, colors are reasonable close😆😆😆
Blues are Never will forget Oscar...he did it well going for his good salary. He is and will be always a 🌟
The streets won't forget the Oscar-Ramirez link
Respect for Oscar. It was a very well thought of decision
He choose money to make his families life better.. nothing but respect for this guy 💪💪
Him earning x4 x5 the moneys that he could as if stayed EU instead of moving to China. Plus his mindset is " you could live with the moneys, not with the memory of playing in WC final match". So it was pretty good to earning a tons more of moneys with the same amount of talent or work
Thanks for this!
I saw this kid, sensational in World Cup 2014 and always wondered whatever happened to that Brazil No.11?
Respect for the goat 🐐, he will come back to Chelsea no matter what, just need to believe 💯 🙏
He can still come back and do absolutely well in Europe, he's a rare player already
I got into Football right around the time Oscar was playing at Chelsea. What a player! I was super suprised to see he had moved to China.
many great players and sports stars under perform when the money and fame roll in,it becomes more important,its very rare to get great players that keep up their skill regardless of the fame and money
I was playing football
I'll love to have a legacy then money as well
What ever his decision had been
It was his choice and no one should just him for
Cuz I know the meaning from coming from humble beginnings and being the star of the family
What programm do you use to change Thumbnails frequently after you upload the video? Or do you do it manually?
Outstanding at Chelsea . Shufflepack cafe on commodore amiga.
Like mascherano but further forward.
Yes I remember him on 2014 world Cup but I never heard of for this whole till I found this video
Since he left Chelsea i'm waiting for him to sign at Roma. I can't wait anymore, come back quick to Mourinho Oscar, we miss you.
I kinda understand his decision. I grow up in a hard environment, and in a country full of corruption. Money security is everything. In my country you need to spent a lot, but low salary. Its hell to manage the monthly budget.
i remember the whole chinese super league movement was pretty heavy at that moment, than mls came nocking on the door, feel like a move to an msl side would of helped him more
So many great Brazilian prodigies play at Internacional great to see him there at one point
I remember that game crazy
