- Argentine striker Hernan Crespo takes us back to the events of 2005 Champions League final between AC Milan and Liverpool - and how that result almost pushed him to give up on football.
Crespo was in Malaysia from Astro SuperSport's 2018 World Cup launch. - Sport
Great interview 👍 a bunch of great questions from Adam.
khairul anwar thx bro!
adam herman lol
AC MILAN was such a heartwarming club sending Crespo messages after the 2007 CL victory while he played for Inter..lol. priceless.
I bet he cried during/after the call. Must've been very wholesome
should have stayed but won the best club competition in club football after uefa chl.
It's amazing how he speaks about this game like some kind of a metaphysical, religious event. His voice, his body language says it all, he is all football, he breathes football. Great insight by a true legend of the game.
Messi in 10 years time:
"its impossible to explain what happened at anfield"
@Franco Baresi in both games????
lol lol ha ha and Luis Suarez..lol
@@tommyshelbysdaddo7462 Yes both games. Liverpool was most of the time the only team that play football in the first leg. Barca had three two chances and three goals because. Liverpool had more chances, was more in the opponent box, played faster and better but nut effective.
and” it’s impossible to explain what happened vs bayern and roma “
It's pretty easy actually. Liverpool's team was awesome and Barcelona's team was horrible. And I'm a Barça fan.
crespo very humble , down to earth....
Hernan Crespo my favourite player of all time.I loved his magic what he did with the ball.
I like Adam being a good conductor and listener to let Crespo speak about his stories and opinions. Often, interviewer will try hard to impress a star like him. Good job!
This guy was underrated. One of my favourite strikers. I remember that header he scored in the champions league he played a one two and scored a header from the edge of the box. What a goal that was what a player
Underrated? By who? I always rated him, but to be honest don’t know or remember what the average person said about him
What a goal that was. Only bettered by Borgetti in the 2002 World Cup.
Yeah, he didn't quite get the supply he needed at Chelsea. Indeed, he could have worked at CFC, but was played outta position. I think he was a better secondary striker rather than an out and put point man. Chelsea made the same mistake with him LFC made with Robbie Keane. Crespo, was a very intelligent and technically able player, but if you look at him, he's a bit of a wisp of a fellow. He's not going to be able to go back win the ball repeatedly and link up with his mids. Hence, he was not really suited to the physical Premier League style. Another interesting thing is smaller players in the premier league tend to make up for their lack of physicality with speed. Crespo, certainly wasn't slow, he had adequate pace, but you could argue he needed another 10-20 percent.
Interesting interview getting prespective from the Milan side. Crespo really lit the game like it happened yesterday!
He's right about Gerrard header, he wasn't known for being amazing in the air, he was always a long range assassin with his goals but somehow he scored a beautiful header over one of the best keepers in the world at the start of the 2nd half. Destiny.
Yeah Gerrard should have got his head on a lot more.
@@ArmyofLove never needed to, or was in position too. He was either coming from outside the box, or taking corners. He always stayed on the edge. So many goals from outside the area this way.
@@damedusa5107xactly …Gerrard goal in the quarter final against olympiakos to qualify for final was classic gerrard screamer but the header against AC Milan in the final was desperation from a captain trying to grab the game by the scruff of the neck and inspire his team with belief and he did it..people forget that he headed it from the penalty line not close range in the top corner against dida the best gk in the world at that time just like the rest of the Milan team..international starter in every position.
@@MoejiiOsmanTVperfect analysis
My little story about this game. At the time, I had just been accepted for a tourism job in Gran Canaria. I received about 12 hours notice on the evening of 12th May that I was to get to Gatwick airport for the next morning, and fly to Gran Canaria. I looked at booking a hotel room for overnight, but they were all fully booked. Seeing as I had no choice, I figured I would get the last train to Gatwick, and then find somewhere to sleep.
When I got to Gatwick airport, absolutely everything you could possibly sleep on was already being slept on by Liverpool supporters. The pool tables, the benches, the tables, everything. So I ended up slumping on the floor, and not getting any sleep for the next 7-8 hours until my flight. I didn't get any sleep, and the flight was only 4 hours or so so I didn't get much sleep on the airplane either.
Eventually, I landed in Gran Canaria about mid-day local time, and I figured my new boss would take me home and I could get some sleep, and then go out and watch the game. As it turned out, my new boss took me on a grand tour of my new workplace, introduced me to a bunch of people, and by the time it was done, there was about an hour to kick-off.
At that point, and I hadn't slept for 24 hours, I unpacked my stuff in my new home and got changed and found a bar to watch the game. I was struggling to stay awake, and by half time Milan were 3-0 up, including 2 goals from Mr Crespo, and it looked like they were going to walk it. The rest of the people in the bar were acting like the game was over, and I was absolutely exhausted and it looked like Liverpool were going to get thrashed.
I left the bar at half time, and staggered home. The following morning, I walk into my new workplace, and everyone is in a buoyant mood, and it's not until then that I discovered that Liverpool had come back and won the game, and I missed it because Liverpool supporters had completely filled Gatwick airport. . .
No you missed it because you decided to go home & go to sleep instead of just hammering out the last 45 minutes 💪🏻
This is the kinda stories I love to see
Crespo... Inzaghi...Shevchenko...Ronaldo...Batistutta...Raul...Morientes...Yorke...Andy Cole... Vieri...Chiesa...Montella...Del Piero...Totti... Kluivert...Bergkamp...real persons before being strikers... old good days...
above all King Van Basten
Cisse, toress, Gerrard, xabi Alonso, mascherano, Luis Garcia,
Nesta
Play Championship Manager 01/02! 😂 This brings back so many memories
@@MoejiiOsmanTV he wasn't talking about only ac milan players, there's no need for you to list us Liverpool players
I cry when i thought liverpool will lose the first half...and i cry again when xabi score the equalizer and win the penalty...YNWA...good game liv vs milan..magical year 2005..
You know when Traore is making goal liner clearances, and Dudek is saving close range bullets - it's not your day.
This is the BEST football interview I ever seen - some many truths and dreams described here. Pure gold to hear Crespo be so personal and vulnerable when he was the opponent he was the most feared. Never mind the rest of that Milan team. Team of greats beatin by something that can never e defeated
I was more scared of kaka and schevchenko going into that final..at the time crespo was known as a tap in merchant and I trusted carragher being able to handle him but the midfield got exposed first half..rafa putting didi hamman was master stroke and changed the game
Really down to earth guy. I had my apprensions about him before watching this. Changed my mind. Awesome Human Being hands down.
Its OK, you don't have exact words to describe the feeling and the situation, so we've enjoyed listening to a lot of sentences because the reflect the exact feeling and as a Liverpool fan I enjoy 100%. 2022 am stiil checking in to watch. Good times brother Crespo
Good speaking by Crespo 😍
As a football fan, and as someone sat 1 mile away from Anfield as he writes this, this was a great listen. Thank you for this, hope to hear more insights from the footballers were grew up on like this!
Greatest comeback in UCL history even with Liverpools comeback against barca in the semi's last year! Kings of comeback! 6 times!
best final ever seen
Humble dude
Crespo, Kaka, Seedorf, Shevchenko, Nesta, Pirlo, Gattuso, Maldini, Stam, Cafu, Dida.... OMG! 😲😲😲😲😲
We played football the right way for 114 minutes. 6 minutes of madness, but this happens in football. The fact that we put them in their place 2 years later was only the right confirmation that between 2003 and 2007, we had the best team in Europe. Losses happen. It's about how you bounce back.
Liverpool were the better side in 2007 and should of won that game. Happens. AC Milan have been in the gulag ever since 😂😂
@@GhostJJJ better side? How many times was Dida stretched? It was a walk in the park and Milan were in total control. Gulag? Haha. Liverpool despite all the riches that premier league tv money provides have won one league title since...exactly the same amount as Milan. Just like Arsenal, awarded for failure. Could go and spent umpteenth tens of millions to finally land a league title. And then just when you thought they were to compete again, they put up a pathetic defence of their title.
@@recruitmentch you realise the money argument makes no sense right?
@@Nicholascagesmandolin Milan's slice of tv money this season was less than 60m euro. Go and see how much arsenal get per season. Milan picked up just under 19m for finishing second. Go and have a look and see what the bottom placed team in the prem picked up as 'prize money'. Then talk about what makes sense and doesn't.
@@recruitmentch it makes no sense because you singled out Liverpool and said they only won one league even with all their prize money. Not accounting for the fact all prem teams get the huge prize money. Meaning it's a non argument because all prem teams get the ridiculous money.
IMHO: a very honest assessment of the game from HC
The best striker of all time in my opinion. He had everything
Why are people saying that Crespo was underrated, he is the 3rd best Argentinian striker only behind the great Di Stephano and Gabriel Batistuta
Him and kaka deserved it that night! They were insane that game.
True Kaka' pass to crespo !! damnn they deserved it
Liverpool deserves every bit of the trophy but Milan played amazing football in the first half
@@kip741 As A Milan fan I can say Milan deserved to win that final. There was 6 minutes of madness. But on the whole , Milan were the better side. I actually thought Liverpool were the better side in the 2007 final.
@@liam89th that's the funny thing. Liverpool was better in 2007 and Milan was better in 2005
If football was about who deserved it, then Liverpool would have much more PL trophies and City would not even be in the league due to FFP and illegal sponsor deals with conflict of interest… but life doesn’t work that way
AcMilan is a legendary club
Great interview, like how he lets crespo speak without interruption.
Vamos Hernán Crespo... un goleador muy bueno le dio la libertadores a River plate
Great interview!
I swear I have never seen one Liverpool fan ever troll Milan about this game or make fun of them or make them feel bad… but look what other fans do when Liverpool don’t get a trophy… this is proof who’s the real unbearable ones and it’s NOT Liverpool fans
AC Milan deserved that Champions League and Crespo deserved it most of all. Haunted match.
They got revenge in 2007 but Crespo had been sold to inter by then
So true.. AC Milan and Crespo deserved it no matter what!
And Liverpool deserved 2007 one
@@carlosvg2286 I agree
they threw a 3-0 lead. I think they rightly deserved to lose. you guys got no standards if you think Milan deserved it. nope not hearing it.
Legend crespo
You should have asked about Kaka's performance rather than Gerrard..Kaka' was orchestrating everything that night.
In the first half maybe, but man of match was def Gerrard.
@@joeking5310 Gerrard said in his autobiography that after the match, everyone was raving about Kaka and Gerrard said he was the only player he couldn't get close to. I say this as a Liverpool fan who's two favourite players are Gerrard and Kaka
@@SASMADBRUV7 But if kaka had got close to Gerrard Liverpool wouldn't have won. You cant expect to play well for part of a match and expect to win, and Gerrard isn't going to say I was the best player on the pitch, is he!
@@joeking5310 he talked about how everyone taking to him directly was raving about kaka. Also, he played great for all of the game, you can't say it was just a part of it. Him stopping smicers goal didn't mean Liverpool weren't still gonna win
Fantastic intervieuw
It's the best final match of the century.
Without Crespo there is not Istanbul
The greatest Final Ever
Because it had it all
This was Gerrard’s defining moment , but not a great performance at all really , his captaincy and leadership and understanding with the fans was far bigger than his footballing performance
Wonderful appreciation of liverpool's achievement.
Please new generation remember his name, one of the best striker of his era, hes playing against the best defender in italy
How I wish I could go back to 2005
Valdanito ❤️
I want to cryyyy 😿😿😿
The great legend of Chelsea and inter Milano ❤
What a great guy Crespo is.. and what a great striker..
Milan were Champion in 2003 for that they were not hungry like Liverpool was
I ain't heard Crespo or any of Seedorf, Pirlo , Maldini or any AC Milan staff say such....so why would I or anyone believe thise shade....lol leave it mate, reaching for the the stars with this one bruv.
@@decided5513 it's basic human nature that when you achieve something you never have a thirst for it as much as before.
The players don't need to explain it. On the other hand that was the only major trophy that liverpool could win
@@arfenmalik1717 there are back to back champions in many disciplines of sport. Rafael Nadal wins the Roland Garros at an astonishing rate...what're you talking about? anyway you're not on the Milan roster so I cant take you seriously. I've watched what the Milan team have had to say about the matter and they ain't making sorry excuses like you.
@@decided5513 you cannot compare tennis to futboll
Milan players cannot accept it but you should be able to reason for yourself.
That was the only biggest trophy that Liverpool could win also that Liverpool team had managed to beat Juve and Chelsea so they were not as bad as you might think
@@arfenmalik1717 when you bought the 'human nature' into it , that is in the realm of sports psychology therefore I can & I reasoned off exactly what you said. anyway. to say this to say that I'm telling you 9th Scudetto in a row Juventus FC is proof on a human scale that you're chatting utter tosh in some vague way in how Milan should've won under what given right? because they're AC Milan?? listen. they couldnt keep a 3 goal lead within 90 minutes conceded 3 goals in 8 min therefore they were equalled & officially on UEFA record lost. dont care who they beat or nothing btw. Milan should've won if they kept their 3 up lead but they melted & lost. that's the fact not your 'Woulda coulda shoulda'.
Parma legend 🟡🔵
Massively underrated and under-utilised at Chelsea, I’d have loved him at Tottenham Hotspur
Why was crespo substituted? He should have played full match
Crespo at Chelsea top Shevchenko at Chelsea flop.
Ancelotti decided that and it was a big mistake
It’s impossible but we are Liverpool #YNWA
@AC Milan 7 Times
Is it mate ?
Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
@Franco Baresi
Speak English babe
Well, you were Liverpool 2 years later.
It's funny how the Liverpool fans always remember 2005, and in the same time tend to forget the more recent 2007 year...
@@raynoraynov5651 We don't forget anything..It's the Up's AND downs that give a club its rich heritage..Not sure where you got that crap from..We acknowledge our defeats as well as our victories
@@user-jr3dx7wl6j atleast they dont bottle 3-0 leads in finals
Liverpool were better than AC in 07 but lost and AC were better in 05 but lost, footballs a strange game
at least he can speak english
he played for chelsea so......
Italian and spanish to.
Its weird that he sounds like Benitez!
Almost a european champs..
Eventhough he still better than messy in every single way
Yeah sure😂🤣
Ronaldo 9 is loan next season when milan win ucl..too bad he is not qualified to play
It’s never over until it’s over
It never won until it’s won
overconfidence undone
the unbelievable will come
Ps Gerrard’s header was not almost outside the box 🥴
They conceded 3 goals in the previous game too
aishx really? Against which team? ... PSV? Or one from Serie A?
@@danielbudokan PSV
Why does he sound like Rafa Benitez lol?
Não adiantaria ganhar, vocês iam pegar o São Paulo F.C no mundial, ia tomar cacete.
I think he feels greasy for speaking english
Malaysia is second liverpool city
Milan blew it but Liverpool got lucky with that bs penalty call. Milan was by far a better team.
Bs pen lmao should of been a red card also. Either way Liverpool won the best champions league final ever. Cheers for the 5th 👋🏽
@@GhostJJJ Nah a straight red for a dive (even one that was as pathetic as Gerrard's) would've been a bit too harsh 😂
I never feel rhat Liverpool get any credit for the fightback . They showed a lot of pride and fight to get back on terms . Also Crespo must have watched a different game to the one i watched . Milan played well , especially in the first half , but they were not as the commentator said " playing football out of this world " . They were the better side no doubt . More experienced across the pitch and very talented .. but Liverpool were no mugs . The road to the final proved that . They were slow at the start and as they chased the game , Milan exploited the spaces that they left at the back . Thats it in a nutshell really . Also Liverpool were the better side for at least 20 minutes , goals included . Could have been 4-3 for Liverpool at one time .. Riise's pile-driver at 3-3 was tipped over by Dida . More credit to Liverpool in the future if you please .
