One of the most unstoppable players of all time, a great combination of extraordinary technique and class with monstrous strength. A genius far ahead of his time.
Aqui desde o Brasil no gigante Continente América, emocionado e arrepiado em poder ver tantas jogadas e gols geniais de Eusébio. Ele tinha um estilo semelhante a Pelé. Incrível. Fabuloso. Fenomenal. Eusébio está na minha Lista Top 10 dos melhores e maiores jogadores de todos os tempos. Muito semelhante a Pelé no domínio da bola, habilidade, visão de jogo, arranque com a bola em domínio, força física, rapidez finalização incrivelmente semelhantes ao Pelé. Eusébio está no patamar superior dos melhores e maiores jogadores de todos os tempos. Maravilhoso jogador.
@@ps123fan Benfica had some great coachs for the time. Including he who's name should not be mentioned🤣Béla Guttmann. But yeah, goals were smaller, there were no substitutions, and despite no yellow cards, the game was harder in terms of physicall contact allowed, so the red cards stayed in the referees pocket for the most part. The ball was heavier, boots were bad. Eusébio had knee surgery 5 times, he had the "world map drawn on his knees" as he used to joke. This in a time where sports medicine wasn't even a thing.
@@michaeljordan310 really??!! If Ronaldo had surgery 9 times on his knees would you think he would still play (although in Saudi Arabia a very weak football league)
People don't have any idea of how much he represent for us Portuguese people in general e and S.L.Benfica fans in particularly as myself. It goes beyond the victories or the goals, as BENFICA had already won the European Cup before he arrive at the Glorious One. He was almost unstoppable, with control, technique, skill, pace and power. He suffered so much from dirty plays and excessive agressiveness of some defenders of that era and yet always very respectful to everyone. In today's football the richest clubs (not necessarily the best as we know in these modern times) would lose their minds for him and set new records of transfer. But most important, he touched the heart of the people, he was genuine, his impact in Portugal is way bigger than any other player including a magnificent Ronaldo. MatigolVidz this is one of finest moments. Thank you.
You can really feel the legend this man was, is, when the day he died an entire country stopped and mourned. The rest of the world payed it's respects, because one of the greatests of the beautiful game had passed away. I remember to see several people that were just crying in the middle of the street, we all felt that a symbol of ours had vanished and there was a hole in all of us, something was missing...
@@miguel.1383 para mim foi o melhor jogador português indiscutivelmente ainda superior ao Ronaldo. O futebol na altura era diferente jogava-se com uma bola que pesava mais de 2kg quando o piso estava encharcado e dominar uma bola daquelas era preciso ter uma técnica incrível. Hoje em dia joga-se com balões. O Eusébio ganhou 2 taças dos campeões europeus com o Benfica e chegou a mais umas finais. Chegou a umas meias finais do campeonato do mundo de 66 com a Inglaterra (que foi campeã) com bastante controvérsia perdemos. O Benfica em conjunto com o Real Madrid dominavam a Europa. O Eusébio era o melhor jogador da época sem qualquer dúvida. Isto vem de um portista
@@epitaciojotajunior4123 Eusébio sempre foi humilde e nunca se achou o maior, não sei onde viu isso. Até dentro de campo chamava de Sr os capitães como o Coluna, na final de 68 contra o Utd cumprimentou o goleiro após grande defesa deste.
@@SanJ1e2v Do you imagine any football player in 60's could do shot or crossing by rabona like nowdays? Regardless technique I believe those balls were very hard. Eusebio had everything for forward. Speed, strength, technique etc...

and there one against juventos a free kick this game was in turin italy a free kick from middle of pitch around 45 metters boy was insane!!!! the juventos crown tough he was crazy some were even laugh!!!! guess what he was crazy the Man scored!!!! a free kich from half of the pitch!!!! the wheather in than night april 1968 was not particular good were rain drops..... as you know the ball was heavy than today 2022 the rain drops during the match made the ball even heavier but this had odds against him the distance heavy ball and italian crowdagainst him to this day this situation benfica fun later in years contacted rai tv italy to get the footage were told was burned or lost by now what pity
THERE one FOOTAGE missing free kick from 49 meters half of pitch against JUVENTOS 1968 semifinal we tried to get it from RAI TV an Italian broadcast but they said it has been lost !!!....folks this guy score a free kick from half of the pitch !!!!!! Italian supporters were laughing.....thought he was crazy his team mates were in silence
Just love the way this player stays on his feet and doesn’t dive. Great dribbling, Sheer pace, strength, shot power and clinical finisher. And to do it all on pitches that were in bad conditions in those days. One of the greats definitely!
@@David20092 No man ahaha he played for a Sporting team in Angola, needless to say he was the best player there, and Benfica dressed him as a woman put him in a plane so he wouldn't get reconized and taken to other club and they brought him to Lisbon to play for Benfica. True story
@@Oscar-qk6zh Once playing with friends there was a guy that wasnt into football he was more of a cyclist, he was so fast he run cirlces around us lol...but he always forgot the ball🤣🤣🤣.. those are too separate things that only the greats can mix together.
They say he could place a ball between your legs if you stand on goal line, and he would kick it strike like from the bench from behind midfield. In practice. He would ask ppl to stand there to do that.
Eusébio "King" Ferreira da Silva rests eternally in the Portuguese National Phanteon among other great Portuguese that contributed to our Nation. He was loved by every Portuguese 'cause he was talented, hardworking, humble, educated, respectful and kind to everyone! One Love! ❤🇨🇳🇮🇳🇲🇿🇦🇴🇬🇼🇸🇹🇨🇻🇲🇦🇵🇹🇧🇷

@@heldersufiano2816 Exactamente! Não havia quem não gostasse dele em Portugal independentemente da idade, clube ou estrato social porque era educado, humilde, trabalhador respeitoso. Tudo valores muito enraizados na Sociedade Portuguesa, o que à época contribuiu e muito para o início da cura de uma Sociedade Conservadora e ainda muito marcada pelo colonialismo e racismo. Era o Herói do meu Pai (hoje com 75 anos) e passou a ser o meu desde que nasci em 1980 até aos dias de hoje!
@@geraldocesarrodrigues8285 Sem dúvida! Até o Pélé (RIP) disse que era o único comparável a ele! E isso vindo do Pélé tem um valor inigualável! Um Abraço Lusófono! 🇵🇹❤️🇧🇷
Eusébio possibly more than any great player pre 1990, played with the athletic power, pace, speed, phenomenal agility & ball control at broadband high speeds, in line with today's football. At times, he looks like a player from today's 2021 game, transported back in time & filmed in black & white. He's the prototype for Ronaldo 9, Ronaldo 7, Mbappe'.
Played right left center forward on the field, ambidestrious strong fast incredible finish powerfull shooting dribles scores from in to outside the box at any angle... What more can you ask from a stricker he was deadly im proud to be a Benfica fan we once had the greatest rip King Eusébio ... Congratulations to the person that Made this vídeo it is amazingly well done just wich it had more colored footage in his time, i could be talking forever about how good he was but with this amazing video people will get the picture thank you very much 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
@@GianiGighenyou know, of all I've seen playing Maradona is the best by far, but i've never seen Eusebio, Cruyff or Pele at their prime. Don Alfredo Di Stéfano made this statement in 2014 so yes he did know Maradona. We must respect his opinion.
I could never say who is the best ever.. Pele and Eusebio were the best in the 60s, Di Stefano and Puskas in the 50s, Cruyff in the 70s, Maradona in the 80s, Ronaldo was the king of his generation (sorry Zidane), Ronaldinho for 3 or 4 years, Messi and CR7 after him... But to say one his better than all the others is just an opinion really
@@GianiGighen Maradona is a bad example for young footballers due to is high consumerism of drugs in his career and after Maradona should have died instead of Eusébio
@@belianthir Exactly: Di Stefano and Puskas in the 50s Eusébio and Pele in the 60s Cruyff and Beckenbauer in the 70s Maradona and Zico in the 80s Van Basten and Romario in the 90s Ronaldo Nazario and Ronaldinho in the 2000s CR7 and Messi in the 2010s
When he came to Benfica, Eusebio was not a striker. Later he became a striker. In ‘66, ‘67, ‘68, he was a “right side interior”, thus a midfielder. Benfica’s striker at the time was Torres. Jose Torres left benfica in 1971. So Eusebio was a goal-machine-midfielder, for his first years playing in Europe.
I fall in love with him when I seen his run Against Korea. Forget about Maradona's goal Against England. THIS is pure genius where Eusebio literally touch the ball like with glue. Eusebio was God. Midfielder, Goal Machine, yet wing dribbler. He is still live legend. The best player you can ever imagine.
It was always fantastic to watch Eusebio accelerate - a really beautiful, powerful movement - nobody like him - then the dynamite in the right foot to finish. I kept wondering whether R9 watched him - his style is so similar in many ways. Another wonderful tribute - thanks once again for your great videos.
Excatly. Eusebios run Against Korea Remind me R9's Against Compostela. They run woth the ball so precisielly and faster than the Defenders without the ball. They Two and Maradona makes me happy when I watch football
@@masters.1000 imo he may be better on a technical level and even if so it is definitely not by miles, I am however certain that in every other category cr7 is miles ahead tho
I have never seen player so close to Ronaldo R9 with his skills, strength, speed, dribbling, both legs. Respect to Eusebio. Thanks for this video. I did not know he was that good.
He was probably better, because Eusébio had aerial hability, the only thing missing in R9. But he wasn't a striker like R9, many people think he was because of the crazy amount of goals he scored, he was actually a winger.
Bro THANK YOU for this video. You can see how a simple video with more footage can give people prescpective on the greatness of this player. We are not at all objective when evaluating quality of players and history doesnt always remember them fairly. Id love a video on Paulo Futre if you ever feel called to :)
wonderful wonderful video .. i am big fan of him and i keep looking over the years for videos or games for him .. and i can claim this is the best collection of goals and skills i saw for the wonderful panther

Yes but with a much smaller frame. And he seems like he just walks past people. Like he is gliding or something. He has to be in top 5 best player ever.
shapz rackz There’s a difference between actual strength and strength on the ball - there are some players like CR7 and R9 who are just freaks of nature, and there are players like Eusebio and Messi who aren’t the biggest, but they can use their body in a way to protect the ball so it seems impossible to take the ball from them without fouling
@@antoniodias4718nunca kkk é só olhar o estilo de jogo dos dois poh Eusébio fez vários golaço e CR7 também fez vários golaço.. e hoje CR7 tá com quase 900 gols kkkk e os dois tem lances parecidos quase o msm estilo de jogo...
Quantity? His goal record is amaaazing. He didnt' win a WC for Portugal but he gave us our best finish ever (3rd) . He was part of the Benfica with two champions leagues, who were the best team in Europe at the time. He has every right to be considered the best ever. If you use the criteria of having won a WC, then no...but that's very reductive when describing a player.

Eusebio wasnt phenomenal, he was inhuman, like he played so easily getting rid of defenders and doing goals.... He makes it look easy, respect to Eusebio
@Justin Case Maradona was Champion and best scorer in serie A with 15 goals in the same year. In milam played maldini, baresi, costacurta , tassoti....in those years Rinaldo would score less half goals. Lol. You should be a child yet. Go see Gentile marking Maradona in 82 world cup and talk with me after. Its on you tube. Grow up
@Justin Case you are so dummy. In that time serious tackles was allowed. No substituitions. The ball was heaviest, the botes also. No protections on legs . Eusébio was 7 Times cirurgy to the same knee and continue playing in the years after. In 82 watch gentile marking Maradona. Imagine in the 60's and 70's. Why Ronaldo was not the best world CUP scorer yet? Eusébio ratio goal is Higher..fact.1.05 goals per game. ONLY best scorer of world CUP and Champions CUP/league in the same year in 66.ONLY understand? Rinaldo is just like Jardel, Haalland or shearer

@@jezlott8651 That's why I said that "remained big". If this was a Real Madrid we were talking about, he would still be rivalling Cristiano for best player ever. If he was at Ac Milan (arguably rising up from the ashes again) he would be better remembered. If he was french, he'd be ahead of Platini or even Zidane as their best player ever. Etc etc

@@heldersufiano2816 . Perfeito, Helder, perfeito! Eusébio é o jogador mais próximo do Pelé em todos os tempos não somente pela semelhança física, mas pelas habilidades, força física e rapidez nas jogadas, inteligências múltiplas e domínio de todos os fundamentos do futebol e a humildade de um ser humano diferenciado; pois para o Pelé e Eusébio serem o que foram em vida, a humildade estampada no corpo, alma e espírito de cada um deles é visível. Recentemente em uma entrevista, o grande jogador brasileiro Rivelino disse exatamente isso sobre o Pelé: "ele nunca reclamava de nada, nem da bola ruim ou boa, nem dos gramados, nem de cansaço, nem das vestimentas utilizadas no jogo, nem da alimentação ou qualquer coisa que fosse pertinente aos jogos e suas jornadas esportivas de trabalho. Isso tudo certamente refere-se também ao gigante e magnífico que está entre os 10 maiores de todos os tempos: Eusébio. Veja no link a seguir o que Rivelino afirmou sobre Pelé: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-unhjKQ4Pc4Q.html&lc=Ugy0CYyoXo-fvrSJD0B4AaABAg.9kPP42QSyV6A4i4THLENum

@@pierregeopardi1481 'Johan Cruyff is art' is a good video (it's around 14 mins long) 'Sir Bobby Charlton - England's Greatest Player' is a good video (around 12 plus mins long) There isn't a great deal of Rummenigge or Sivori I don't think and Matigolvidz has the best Platini video 👍
@@Bill-Butcher Thanks for the advice I have watched it, this is not bad but I like the video where we can see the game from a high perceptive and real speed. I don't like when there is too much effect, slow motions and close view of player ....
In the modern football this gentleman would be the biggest star. He played in a time that no red cards was given and defenders destroyed mhis legs. Legend my favourite off all time
His playing style was kinda similar to Ronaldo Nazario who was also more a finisher than creator (from the video he tended to dribble past the opponent than to pass), but he seems to play deeper than the latter. Or something like Rooney with less (but still pretty good) passing ability but MUCH faster and more aggressive in going forward.
Those a lil longer in the tooth, who played and/or watched soccer/football, especially his contemporaries like Pele, Alfredo Di Stefano, Bobby Charlton recognized his greatness. Shortly after Eusébio's death, Di Stéfano stated: "For me Eusébio will always be the best player of all time". His stats speak for themselves, including being the 2nd all time goal scorer of the European Cup knockout competition for the domestic league champions of Europe before being revamped to its current Champions League format in the 1990s. Excluding North America, his scoring prowess was phenomenal, 473 goals in 440 Club games in Europe, 41goals in 64 games representing Portugal. Eusebio Da Silva Ferreira was a phenomenon!
