How ONE CROSS Killed The Career Of The "Best Player In The World" 

The best hero 💙

Frrrrrrrrr

his futties card in 23 was 🥶

Triple threat ginola skulli😂😅😅

that motherfucker has been ruining my fut champs for 2 years and counting

That’s like winning the lottery lol similar odds 😂

Bale won it too though

How he won that year was a joke

​@@mikeryan4055Why?

​@@BekzhanayBut with all due respect to Gareth Bale,he was playing in a time,when the tackling was 'Lightweight' at best,as well as that silly Ball they play with now! When David Ginola was playing he was producing magic (mostly as a Wing player) while the opposition was attempting to put him in Hosp! And GB was tremendous for Spurs,but he was often injured ( as he was at Real Madrid) and that's in today's game!

didnt he do pes as well

@@joshuabrown2134 I don’t think so

Fun Fact: David Ginola is an anagram of Vagina Dildo

As a French, I have to recognize and admire English pragmatism. You understood the benefits you could get from such great players . Unfortunatly, such thing in France can't happen because of our f.....g proud arrogant face. As our coq symbol, we prefer to keep our feet in the sh...t and complain instead of saying, we were wrong, sorry, let's move and get out of that crap. The whole tragedy of France that always made us lose everything not just even in football but also in History.

​@@lionelb.9328Napoleon was very successful is what I learnt in school. But I am bad at history

The key for Beckham was that his club manager and teammates supported him. After his kick on Simeone he was public enemy number one, with people burning effigies and everything. Ginola simply never had a stable, supportive environment at any club for more than, say, a season - just imagine what he might have achieved if he did!

Beckham played for himself. Ginola played for the team. Benders loved Beckham. Women loved Ginola. Beckham is a cunt. Ginola is a legend.

No one in England hated him. I remember he was just admired here and even after football he was constantly on our TV shows and was more loved here than anywhere

@@gavinbrando8255 Yes, I remember he was in one of the teams in "A Question Of Sport" at the end of the 90s and starred in a shampoo advert on TV - "Wash the strength back in."

Gerard Houllieir always had low cunning.

England's lack of world class players help when France have so many legends at disposition especially in the same period a young Zidane

england's manager didn't stand up for beckham either, only fergie did

@@Nigghachu Yeah, my bad. Glenn Hoddle kinda dick. Threw him into wolves.

Hoddle absolutely made Beckham a scapegoat. He had plenty of protection from his teammates and staff at Manchester United, but his national team manager, absolutely not

honestly, i think beckham is wildly overrated. not saying he was a bad player, of course not, but apart from his outstanding set pieces and crossing, he did not offer much to a team that other good mids of that era didn't. his workrate was average to questionable, his vision good but far from outstanding, and his decisionmaking somewhere between solid and catastrophic. he happened to play in a united squad that was outstanding and he had a manager that perfectly understood how to implement his strengths and cover his weaknesses, but if you compare him to the greats of that era, there are at least a solid 50 players i'd instantly rate higher than becks.

Could have been so much greater, France screwed him over

He may appear humble but he's clearly not. His recent appearances on french tv show how much an asshole he is

"entire country stupidity" Believe me, is this case the cross Ginola did made no sense, especially for a technical player like him, it was very difficult to take the ball from him without comminting a foul. It was not Ginola fault if France didn't managed to take 1 point in the last 2 games at home, but you can't forget how stupidly he gave the ball to the bulgarian in the stoppage time...

@@edouardplantaire1929 Yea try to read first what I ment or ask someone to explain it to you then post stupid comments. As I wrote above, his mistake is a fact but blaming everything on him is the most idiotic thing ever.

Next world cup Bulgaria lost 6-1 to Spain

The hatred is an inate human response to people who make them feel insecure A good looking skilled footballer can make others feel bad so they impose their own insecurity on him by convincing themselves he is arrogant and proud and thinks he is better than them. They start hating to protect their ego It's exactly what they did to cristiano Ronaldo, thsy prefer humble greats because it makes them feel nice and special and they support him because he will always make them feel good by not giving himself the credit he deserves It's pathetic

@@chideraalexanderdex547 Ronaldo, the paragon of sporting vanity, lords his self-importance with the audacity of a tempest commandeering the vast, open sea. It engulfs every mortal ship of humility, leaving in its wake a barren expanse terrorized by his brash pronouncements of grandeur unrivaled. He is a gilded peacock, his radiant plumes unfurling in an ostentatious display of ego, casting an eclipse over the humble songbirds that share his stage. Each vibrant feather is an arrogant declaration, each strut, a testament to his supposed unchallenged supremacy, sweeps away all notions of modesty and shared triumph with a disdainful flicker. Ronaldo's arrogance is a towering inferno, relentless and salient, consuming the parched forests of modesty with the fury of his self-praised greatness. Amidst the smoky ruins left in its rampage, the tender buds of humbleness find no oasis. Instead, they wither, succumbing to the choking haze of his inflated self-importance. His ego, weighty and incessant like the Sahara dunes, encroach and devour the lush oases of mutual respect. It paints the verdant elegance of sportsmanship into barren scapes of haughtiness, where only the illusions of unity and camaraderie occasionally shimmer with deceptive luster. In the cathedral of his ego, Ronaldo thrones himself above all, wreathed in a halo of conceit. There, the echoes of his self-declared sanctuary turn the hallowed hymns of shared glory into discordant strains of I, me, and myself. His arrogance, a monstrous Everest, crowned by the regal clouds of self-worship, casts prodigious shadows upon the green valleys of teamwork. It's an Everest mightier than the rest, demanding attention, seeking devotion, its icy gusts freezing the tender roots of shared success and fair play. When one utters 'the best', it should be a serenade composed in honor of countless heroes whose sweat, passion, and unyielding spirits have carved an enduring legacy. Yet, Ronaldo’s solo performance rattles this harmonious symphony, transforming it into a harsh soliloquy, a narcissistic aria bellowed from the summit of his self-built pedestal. His words, dripping with hubris, tarnish the golden canvas of history, casting long shadows over the tales of many greats who have danced the dance of champions.

Also from a trainers perspective - there is the entire midfield and defence behind the ball. Any of them could have stopped the counterattack with a tackle or a tactical foul. Blaming Ginola means giving them a pass on their mistakes. If a coach makes such a statement I would fire him right away as that statement basically shows he is not qualified for the job.

GH was just plain lucky. Never felt he was a good manager.

As a Liverpool fan, I watched all the games when he was hired as an assistant manager to Roy Evans and all the games ever since. He did a really good job at the very beginning, sorted out the problems in the game discipline, fixed the issue with bad defense, introduced some great new players to the team and everything worked properly until he got a heart attack; after that point, he returned as a completely different person. The team started do play bad and game after game, Houllier was blaming everyone and everything for the bad results. At the end, he started blaming Liverpool fans which was embarrassing and totally wrong. That period in charge of Liverpool reminded me a lot to the end days of his ending era of the France coach - which reveals that he is very bad looser - once he feels under pressure, he has no problem to blame everyone else.

And still lost the league to us but I’d love love it

@@nathanwhitefield9077 Hahaha have mercy!

Spurs still trash

No wingers like Ginola now

i first saw him at PSG, he was great,but in that match he hit the bar 2 or 3 times, somehow anticipating his kind of bad luck in soccer. He was one of my favorite players, but i expected more from him and never got the satisfaction to see him where he could ve been

Him and Gazza

wouldn't it be great if all those players all played in the same team..... and don't forget Sol Campbell

​@@charlesjay8818judas

Same for me; he was Christmas day in a team of Monday mornings.

There is a strong French cultural thing that is to be very extreme on their love or hate for someone so, while Portugal blamed forever the goalkeeper, Ricardo, his career was not ruined by it and he even made a commercial for an aviary company (a bad goalkeeper miss is translated to a "chicken") and people were relatively cool with him

Showboating has consequence. Pendu should’ve learned his lesson.

ISS '98 was the best football game ever.

It was Fifa '97👍

Ginola made man in raincoat a shade less intolerable.

At Spurs he was at the tail end of his career! Hence the injuires!

I dont think this video represents a balanced case for this. Thats very onesided, and i think even doesnt display Ginolas side, even though it clearly takes his side only, even that is wrong. I followed french football down to ligue 4 at that time, but i have to take some time to remember the period. The saga about Ginola ran longer than that on the national team.

Remember me how many world cup finals France has played after ?

when they ransacked the whole of West Africa and nationalized them all.@@TurboGauchiste

Thats how it was in the 90s though. The marketting was there, starting to take interest, but the public didn't get it and importantly... the managers didn't either. The exact same situation played out with Beckham. The moment he made a mistake he was absolutely crucified and villified for it because everyone was looking to bring him down a peg. Ironically, despite the fact they were relatively shit as a team, I feel like it was the Madrid Galactico's that was the turning point for the whole, celeb footballer thing when it suddenly stopped being a dirty, horrible thing to be a footballer AND marketable. Alot of it comes down to control. Club's couldn't really profit off the players marketability at the time, so to them it was just a distraction, and potentially an unsettling element (if you had a player that was a decent squad player, but insanely marketable, off doing all this work that makes him more money then everyone else in the team is getting, the annoys the best players since suddenly his earning more). Real put together a model that made the club shit loads of money from the image rights. Clubs followed suit and suddenly, the media stopped hammering them for it. And when the media stopped, the people stopped, because even though everyone likes to pretend its not the case, nearly everyone is influenced by the media they consume. And that media is beholden to the football clubs, because without keeping them onside, they lose lots of thier stories.

C. Ronaldo is the only valid comparison considering those names you mentioned, though. Cristiano used to be called a choker back in the early 2010s and that he cared more about looking at himself than winning/scoring (yep, might sound weird for future people to read this). You don't see Mbappé and the others letting their ad campaigns be more talked about than their skills. Literally never saw anyone wanting to be a short skinny teenage looking dude like Gavi and Pedri, and Mbappé isn't a sx symbol either. Bellingham has good looks but he's still not popular enough to get to that level. None of them are sx symbols like Cristiano or Beckham.

​@@GamerFlairIt's important to say that even someone like Cristiano was criticized for caring too much about his celebrity status. In the early 10s, that was the case for him. He was getting mauled by a timid, weird and regular looking guy, and the public would often say "iF oNlY hE cOuLd FoCuS lEsS oN hIs FaMe". Cristiano in the 90s would suffer even more suppose because he wouldn't have Messi to push him further and playing the UCL was tougher back then (didn't win the league? Good luck playing UCL matches). But yeah, nothing like this. Beckham/Galacticos changed that (even though Beckham did receive some backlash for being worse than what his fame suggested). Ginola simply wasn't that guy as consistently as Cristiano and he played in the 90s, so he was unlucky. In the late 2000s and 2010s he would do better in this aspect.

@@calamortaI was going to say the exact same thing about Beckham. To this day some people still thinks he was merely a media guy but a mediocre player in the pitch. He actually was a very good player, not on the same level of Zidane or Ronaldo, but still very good.

@@calamorta idk the princess and heir of spain did admit to having a crush on gavi, maybe back then they won't be seen as studs or something like that, but peoples tastes does get weirder year by year, back then most wanted someone with a 6 pack to now they'd want people that has an fboy look

Wenger definitely thought that too I imagine and went for Robert pires

thanks so much man, means a lot

already did it

In the words of Harry Redknap: "My missus fancies him. Even I don't know whether to play him or f*** him."

iconic quote, what a man ahah@@RuiLuz

That is very true, PSG had a very talented team. You mentioned Rai, Valdo, Weah, Ginola, there was Lama the cat as goalkeeper, Vincent Guerin, Ricardo, Fournier... Seriously, is that team really inferior to what we have today?? I mean, besides the marketing added value...

@Thetruthmademan when I wrote this I was thinking of the Messi,neymar,mbappe while Motta or Maruidi never replaced, which should have been the priorities. Anyway, today football is a joke I don't follow anymore.

This guy was fantastic! I'd say Bale was more of a Athlete & certainly benefitted from that light Ball ( which swerves all over the place) David Ginola could do all that with the older& much harder Leather Ball!

You punk

Same me pal.

France had equal especially at those positions. At that time france spit out mercurial talent after another year after year, i like Ginola and wanted him to play, but at no time did i think it would be a problem to leave him out, or Cantona for that matter.
