As a portuguese, I don't think I will ever forget Figo's leadership, I don't remember many moments where he would be angry at teammates whenever we were losing, he would just be quiet, pick up the ball and do something himself for the comeback.
I know this is about the Euros but man, I will never forget how we lost in the 2006 WC, I think we played well in the semis but that Henry penalty (dive) still haunts me. I honestly believe we could have beaten Italy in the end, oh well...
me too buddy. Ricardo Carvalho's heel was planted on grass and his toes poking up, and henry leaned his leg on his toes and fell down. horrible. I still think about the pain from euro 2004. it still looks like the greek player blocked and held on to ricardo from stopping that goal. Portugal should have won 2004, most def had the chance to win 2006, should have won 2008 and again same story for 2020 euro and even 2022 world cup but we had such an incompetent manager in fernando santos. Now we must win 2024. just my imo
@@VincentdeoliveiraFrance game will be like a final and then possibly Spain, will be tough.
he had the swagger of zlatan or dinho but had the work ethic and killer mentality.
waaaaa waaaaa keep crying mate....GREECE!
@@Vincentdeoliveirawishful thinking, Portugal was only to win 2004 euro , 2008, no chance, 2012, no chance, 2016 luck, 2020 no chance,,
Best era of football hands down. World class players all over multiple international teams. Players that actually deserve the world class title
he was right when he said that football is so robotic now, too many tactics and less freedom for more players all around the field to be world class
Real Madrid only have one true world class player mbape, says it all
Facts
Best era was the one after Figo retired. 2008-2012
itsnnot toonmuch tactocsnnoooo
its too muchn fitness al around
As a proud portuguese, it is an absolute honor to have a genius like Figo, wonderful player
as a german i admire portuguese pride. Best regards
Figo was different level
Not everyone gets to play for Barça *and* Madrid!
Classy , elegant player , he was the best ❤️🇵🇹
@@arleteferreira4962just like you ;)
@@arleteferreira4962He was the reason I watch football
One of the best wingers to ever play the game 👌🏻
Yes and a pure playmaker would make so many chances without actually needing to cross the ball. Through balls, stepover trickery... He had it all.... Could play on any wing too and even I think could do No10 if you asked (and if Portugal didn't have Rui Costa)
I only remember the Nike boots with the white on the side because of him n R.carlos 🫶🏾🔥
The best winger ever, in my opinion. Highly efficient, a leader on the pitch, great dribbler, a great crosser, explosiveness, fabulous vision and awareness.
Figo becoming a superstar inspired the next generation to become great
Wrong Eusebio Paulo futre next Figo next one hundred good top Portuguese players 👌🏽
The man who makes me play football I love this guy Figo
Figo is one of the best wingers ever
Figo was different. Gosh, that 2000's team had character.
Figo, Ronaldo, Deco, Nuno Gomes, Ricardo Carvalho, Rui Costa...What a squad! Losing that Euro at home was just inexplicable
One of the best winger in the football history
I like Luis Figo so much. I remember I bought his jersey on holidays in Spain as a child. What is amazingly ironic is that it was Real Madrid jersey and I bought it few kilometres from Barcelona and proudly displaying it there not even knowing what the rivalry really meant :D thank god I was a kid that probably saved my ass :D
These barTHElona fans are insane, they take football rivalry to a stupid level. It's just a friggin game and Figo was absolutely mistreated by the barcelona president and executives. So he went where he was praised and appreciated.
@@Iesous27 You do know that Barcelona vs Real is not just a football rivalry it's waaay deeper than that. I don't mind Figo going to Real at all but I understand the feelings about it.
@@JanHejn yeah but at the end of the day, this is just footy. People who take a sport to the level of political and societal rivalry is just pathetic.
@@Iesous27 The rivarly is not because of the "footy" that's just a part of it
Bracka boo Luis figo, what an absolute baller. Arguably the greatest winger of time
As a portuguese man myself, he's my favourite player that's ever lived and the best captain portugal has ever had, his shirt is framed in my house
But figo being my favourite doesn't mean I don't recognise ronaldo as being the best player that's ever lived but personally I think figo captained his country better
@@kinggomes7196 Ronaldo is my hero and inspiration. but is he the best player? no mate, he is not the best player to kick the ball.
@@doloreslaflipoflopo2746 He said "he's my favourite player", not the best player. Anyone can be someone's favourite, which is why he specified that. Best is a different story, and it's cr7
@@KadirPaulo yeah and then he commented on his comment.
@@kinggomes7196 messi plays golf I guess
Thank you for bringing the Portuguese stars man.
Amazing stories and amazing players 🙏♥️
An era when footballers were actually proper technical footballers…characters and personalities…today all you have are athletic specimens and social media ‘stars’
The legend himself
Figo is a legend.
Luis Figo is pragmatic person, he is defiantly a legend, no dough's about that, Rui Costa was the maestro, an huge agglomeration of talent and creativity, love for the gentleman from Portugal, Rio Ferdinand.🤗🤗
People seem to forget like Figo stated, Portugal did not qualify regularly to Euros and World Cup. Now it feels like it’s a standard.
To be fair Euros had less then l think 12 or 8 teams before... WC had way less too, soon they'll be 50+ willbe wasy to qualify, let's of good Euro teams, top 2's in all groups should make it through automatically.
Eusébio and Ronaldo are better players, but Figo has been my favourite Portuguese player ever. His dribbles were astonishing and he is probably the best playmaking winger ever. He was as creative in the wings as any number 10 playing in the center.
Futre play ténis
@@josecaetano2388 Futre was not a playmaker like Figo.
figo will always be a much better player than cristiano (there is only one ronaldo). better players?! ridiculous. figo by far the more talented and real leader. cristiano was a better athlete maybe but no way better player. cristiano was never leading the teams, never really stepped up in the big moments.
@@amirfigo What?! Are you feeling well? Do you want me to call you an ambulance?
Figo was my fav at Madrid when he was at his prime he was beautiful
He was a beast of a player. I enjoyed watching him @ Euro 2000
Figo was a fantastic player, um craque mesmo 👌🏻
Proper Portuguese 🇵🇹 Man o War.
The greatest pure winger ever and a great captain for Portugal.
In his generation, overall, only behind Zidane and Ronaldo, in my books.
Excellent footballer sorry to see you lose to my country Greece but was glad you guys won later.
Greeting from Portugal 🇵🇹 🇬🇷
@@FilJR99 love the way you guys produce beautiful footballers silky skills.
Just imagine if Figo and Ronaldo were in the same generation. Would've loved to see them play together for Portugal in their primes.
They played together - watch games from Euro 2004 and World Cup 2006.
@@Xiku yes, I remember. But I meant in their primes. Figo was already too old and Ronaldo too young from 2004-06.
@@Xiku Not in their prime together, use your brain.
@@rbsk999 I get you. But Figo prime had Ronaldo at Man Utd
He was like he was riding a bike! Beautiful footballer!
What a player he was
Met him at the airport in Lisbon a week ago. Let us take pictures with him, class act!!!
That goal against England man. Lucky but who scores from that distance through Tony Adams legs?
Beautiful goal
Figo!
Because it was a deflection lol, that's why. Are you folks blind?
Luis Figo scores!
Legend. GOAT. Mesmerizing. Dazzling. Leader . World Best. Figo was just my football idol back then. Thanks sir, for what you did.
Figo & Raul where the reason i got pulled towards football over any other sport . 2🐐 's
that maniche goal is ridiculous
It’s a videogame goal.😆
FUTRE AND FIGO BEST PORTUGUESE WINGERS EVER
Eusebio, Futre, Figo, Ronaldo - best Portuguese players ever
Figo = Legend !
My favourite player of all time. I still remember that England game... he single handedly turned the screws... his goal was stunning. Even Seaman was stunned beyond belief. His move from Barca to Madrid also demonstrated iron balls.
Best ⚽ Show on CZcams.
Thanks Rio
And the Legends
Cabrao...Ainda es o meu jogador favorito
😂😂😂
Can you imagine growing up too glass everywhere😭feel so blessed really had so many players to look and inspire to play like!
I hope theres a longer interview that you do with him when you ask him about the transfer from Barca to Madrid and everything behind it. Also being the 1st Galactico n what he thought being on that legendary team
4:53 this goal is epic. figo is always top 10 midfielders of all time. never was fun of portugal team but 2002-2006 epic team and players
Great player Figo. Ballon d'Or winner & one of the five best players across 1999-06. My personal favourite Portuguese player was Paulo Futre. Best Portuguese dribbler of a ball. Left- footed & dribbled like a European version of Diego Maradona.
Nuno Gomes absolute beast in the euros
Legend. As portuguese he was after Ronaldo the best player I’ve ever seen. A true leader on the pitch.
The greatest winger in history! Luis Figo Maestro врло добар дечко !
Luis Figo is a TRUE legend in football!
My favourite player of all time, Luís Filipe Madeira Caeiro FIGO
Figo hates this generation's robotic football as well lol
Luis Figo always looked 45 with great hair. So it’s as if he’s not aged at all.
I remember when he signed for Real Madrid went to play football and at least 8 people were wearing the Real Home Kit with his name on the back lol
Figo even looked older in his teens 😂
Godamn making me feel so old!! Im 32 remeber being 8-9 damn
To me , Luis is a better leader than Christiano even in the club and national team. He didn't always complian in the game , angered at his teammates who performed not well.
Oh man. That was too short. Have to wait a whole week now. Balls.
I am watching the euro, it is amazing to see drop in quality for many of the team
Spain went from
xavi ineasta fabregas villa torres pique puyol Mata ramos casillas silva etc, to I don't even no the name of these players
Italy
Totti Delpierro Pirlo De rossi Cannavaro Buffon Cheillini .....to embarressment at hand of team a Swiss team.
Holland Van persie, Robben and Snieder upfront to ......VVD VVD VVD VVD
really you don't know Yamal Rodri Pedri?
Pressure? ask him about el classico, when he left Barcelona and joined Real :D
They even threw a pig's head at him. 😂
People don’t give enough credit to Joao pinto which only left once to play in Spain I think not for long but he was on the level of figo and Rui Costa he was the best player for years in the Portuguese league absolutely class scored goals in any kind of way and assisted like crazy
Bring Rui Costa The Maestro!!!
Mbappe: Euro is the best and hardest international comp. Hammered.
Figo: Euro is the best and hardest international comp. Yes sir.
Ahhh never realized that goal had a deflection.
GOAT FIGO
This man Figo is so underrated, especially when talking about best players in the world... when he joined Barcelona, noone remembers what he done.. even with R9 and Guaridola.. Figo helped them win the la liga.. This guy use to be roommates with Pep.. i use to see him many times at Sporting.. my dad use to take me and my sibilings to watch them train every morning and afternoon... hate when they speak of Zidane and not Figo... for me they are both the same in terms of greatness... the only difference Zidane was better than figo was his first touch control.. other than that, i reckon Figo had better dribbling than Zidane.... the fact barca fkd Figo over and sold him to Madrid. Then you have idiot barca fans turn their back on him.. the emotional damage that must of been for him.. wish figo played in the premier league, 110% he would of been best non english player of all time in the prem above Henry
How could you possibly forget he made it to the semi finals & 3rd place match in world cup 2006?
Cr7 LW, Rui CAM, Figo RW, Joao Felix Striker what a scary team👺🔥🔥🔥🔥
To me Pauleta was the deadliest Portuguese striker ever.
João Felix?
You mean Pinto?
@@MarcoDeJesus14 I was joking
João Felix doesn't belong in that group. Just having technical ability doesn't make you a great player. He lacks the mentality. That's why he hasn't imposed himself in any team bar Benfica.
@@Legenda20SLOhe was a really good player who often got criticized when the team struggled to score. Very underrated but Ronaldo beats him as top striker.
Millennials and gen z should watch all of Figo and RoyCosta videos they can find.
at of all our legends Eusebio and this man were the ones to shake me the most .what a player !! always gave everything for Portugal. he and our President Rui Costa..were sublime *president of Benfica not Portugal.more important !!!
Pep and clueless american executives took this away from us smh
Cool human being
Naaah. You had to show João Pinto header... What an amazing goal vs England.
❤❤❤
Turn the crowd noise down Rio. Can't hear the conversation clearly.
The Portuguese Marc Albrighton.
When he was starting to play they were probably drinking wine, and eating salted pork during training in Portugal. They had to share the practice field with the vacas. The team bus was a cart pulled by cow.
U need more lights up in this mfka, Rio. It's dark!
Nuno Gomes was one handsome bloke.
The best Portuguese player of all time!
Right
Cristiano's hater detected
@@anotherone1292 we’re lucky to be a football nation, Portugal has offered and will keep offering more talent to the world than just Cristiano.
@@ninanano amigo/a, you're definitely not saying that to me, me being a portuguese myself as well. Now, saying that all the talented players that we produced (btw in the past there's not so many world class talents as you may think) and that we will produce in the future are at same level as Ronaldo's is just fucking insane! Figo was a top player, but he is the 3rd best portuguese player ever and that's facts! He's not at the same level as Cristiano. Not even Eusébio is at the same category. And is not just about the talent, is about consistency, mentality, titles, statistics, results, hard work, self-care, records, etc etc etc... Ronaldo is a phenomenon and a generational talent, not simply a talent that you can produce everytime you want. In 100 years you will not find a player like I guarantee you that. É triste enquanto portugueses não sabermos valorizar a grandeza e o estatuto de quem deu tanto ao nosso país...
This guy was wicked... What a player
Why wicked? Was he an evil player or something?
No u numpty Wicked as in good. Duh
@@Certified-k4j don't wind me up .🤬🤬🤬🤬
Overrated
@troublesumdemon5595 I know it's annoying mate but there's not much you can do when wankers like that comment snarky comments.
Forever MANU
I agree with Figo most players now are system players
i think we don't need to hear the crowd during the interview. Luis is speaking in low volume but regardless. Makes it hard to understand
I’m glad you didn’t ask Figo to throw darts
Noise in the background too loud can barely hear him speak
How are you getting all these amazing interviews? 😯
He is Rio Ferdinand
Merih demirelll🫶🫶🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷
You..was .very.good..plaer
games back then entertained me, today's games they just piss me off. and quality is so down on players individually.
We all know Ricardo took his gloves off because of Eusebio ❤
🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹
With all due respect, I still rate Barcelona vs Real Madrid higher in Figo era when he moved to Madrid, than Messi/Ronaldo era.
Cristiano Ronaldo's mentor, teacher, sensei 😊
What a wonderful player, very exciting to watch! Personally, I have Eusebio and even Luis Figo ahead of the allmighty Christiano Ronaldo. I just feel those two were superior natural talents ...
He sounds like modric
😂
Why does he sound like Ibrahimovic?
Not even mentioning euro 2016?
He resigned from the national team in 2006
The World Cup Is the best
Its not. Imagine having groups with Mongolia, Russia, USA or Peru lol
@@ruiferreira9025 All tournament and even in Euro Cup there are weak teams. Mongolia never was in tournaments and I remind you 🇮🇹🇪🇦🇩🇪 were eliminated in the first round
He took the gloves out because the great Eusébio who he hung later told him too
The way Figo destroyed that guy@ 9.18 hahahaha
Why are people disrespecting the World Cup continually? The World Cup is clear of the Euros and I’m not having a man who let Greece beat him in the finals say otherwise
