Juan Sebastián Verón: A "F***ing GREAT" Player 

I agree. Very high quality. And enjoyable / informative.

Absolutely without question. This was simply wonderfully done with insight that’s extremely needed for younger audiences to understand. Seriously 👏 👏👏 Brilliant work!!

Proof is in the results. Pep's team was the best in history and the most fluid and mesmerizing to watch on top of the win-loss and goal differentials. Seeing so many top sides before and since then is like watching a girl throw an American football.

​​@@asnark7115tell me you have watched Barca highlights. without... Watch Ajax watch the Dutch side of 1974 watch Norwich City of 1994. Stop thinking you have a well developed understanding of football. Without knowledge.

​@@asnark7115they got an argument like though others will argue 90s 00s there was more competition 😊

@@asnark7115peps teams really aren’t mesmerizing bruey are controlled and robot like. Of course messi was amazing, but peps teams are pretty boring

In football history? That's a bit extra

Well said mate. For sure, one of the best where he played, with Zidane...

@@mojebi3804His passes were alien like extraordinary, his accomplishments with a small club like Parma cannot be ignored either.

Same here football ain't Great no more. 90's was a Great Era .

First football moment I can remember was Lambert winning champions league ! Thinking back, you had characters and guys you could relate to. As much as it's more professional now , it's boring 😂! These guys would destroy now adays players . I'd take Roy Keane over any midfielder playing now - i support city !!!! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿✌️ Then you have zanetti , zinisi ( yup wasn't attempting second name ) I miss real football

Football is too robotic now. It's all system system system. Football has lost its raw talent, soul and passion

its way more professional now and players dont take any risks afraid of loosing their spot or being injured. theres no room for magic players anymore.

Thank u. Thats history of england. When they national team lose. They act like they r in shocked. How is this be. Half or the team played for man u or arsenal . Why? Please

agree he was great in his 2nd season especially in the UCL. Just got injured in the run in but still contributed well that season. Assist vs Chelsea and goals vs Arsenal come to mind.

Sad he never made his full potential

Was he a success did he nail down a place?

@@gordonferrar7782 82 games played in 2 years

United’s troubles of 2001/02 wasn’t the signing of Veron, it was the decision to let Jaap Stam leave that contributed to the season finish. Had he stayed just a season or two longer United would’ve seen the full fruits of his talents. No doubt.

@@whiskeyboystve couldn’t have put it any better 👊

Giggsy said he could do anything with the ball in training but his head went on match day. He was obviously a world class midfielder but he was competing with a prime Roy Keane and Paul Scholes at the time and was always gonna be compared to them at Utd

that wc was awful for Argentina, but the reasons can NEVER be one man

Glad you like them man! :)

Remember channel 5 in uk every Thursday wee would get football from different league's dutch Argentinian league even mls .. and weekend was Italian football with James Richardson but I remember watching players like aimar ortega salas Juan pablo angel who had been or went on to be big players in Europe. But boca had riquelme I loved the way he played like he was strolling controlling everything at his own pace .. the player's river plate and boca produced late 90s earlier 2000s they would be there then gone then next season there would be another young star brought up through the ranks d allasandro cavinagi.. big Martin palermo guy was a goal machine at boca guys like a young teves Delgado .. but palermo went to Spain broke his leg didn't work out .. one of the most underrated for me was ortega prime ortega was different class found out he had a alcohol problem but while at river plate I remember thinking this guys different class but his time in Italy.. other clubs guys like forlan remember striker Sebastian rozental he was another player injuries ruined him but if you seen him play before his injury he was class Claudio Lopez.. and that's only the attacking players therer was some great defenders that went on to have great careers but all came through river plate or boca jr youth systems the amount of talent from the 90s to early 2000s world class players.. but riquelme I'm glad he got another chance at villareal to show how talented he was after his bad stint at Barcelona getting played out of position. . Those two teams gave the world so many gifted players and the Dutch league ajax psv feynoord also to many to mention.. but now kids just talk about Messi and CR7 in the 90s there were so many amazing players world class talents not just two guys head above the rest . And now var 🫣 your team scores and you don't even want to celebrate because your used to then 6min later find out the guys finger made him offside so goal chopped off 🙄 football has changed

Juan Roman Riquelme, not Juan Sebastián

The pass BEFORE the assist 👍

He’s was an incredible passer of the ball, really skilful, and great dribbling out of tight spaces. Unreal touch at times. Give you head a wobble

English fans are consistently the worst. Just because a player didn’t do well in England doesn’t mean he’s not a great player.

not sure where in my video I did any of these things - framing him as mistreated or skipping analysis of his time at chelsea. He played fifteen games for them mate, I said he was an expensive failure there, and I mention he was beset with back injuries. Not sure what video you were watching

You are forgetting Batistuta, Ortega, Zanetti. Stop talking. You love Messi and thats fine but don't talk shite.

I think 1969 2010 2016 2017 1994 was way shittier, that era had the 2006 squad Under Jose Nestor Pekerman that was amazing and played some great football too, sadly Veron wasnt a part of that, in 2002 they just went shit I agree

At his time nobody said Scholes was the level of Veron, Nedved, Zidane, Figo, or even Beckham, nowadays Premier league and England fans tries to portrait their football history as the most important and their past players as the best , which is not accurate Historically, at that time the premier league was behind Serie A and on Par with La liga and Budesliga, and Scholes was never mentioned before Veron.

Only 9 teams, and that doesn't mean nothing. See what he did in his homeboy club, Estudiantes de La Plata. He returned from Europe for free at 30 to the club where he was born, twice champion in Argentina, won Copa Libertadores (Equal to Champions League) Runner-up in the Fifa Club World Cup against Pep's Barca by 2 to 1 minutes before going into extra time. He played there until he was 42 years old. He retired, became president of the club and rebuilt its stadium and the club became champions during his term after a 10-year drought. All this with the Argentine economy and the club being a non-profit civil society (all financed with members' money) here there are no companies that own clubs or corporations or Arab sheikhs or Chinese investors. He is not Beckenbauer but he is a legend and an idol. All this without counting his time in Europe and what he did in the Argentine national team.

And think that Estudiantes is not Boca, River or Bayern. Imagine that a German footballer achieved all that with Hamburg.

​@@Covekio 13 Clubs all together, some more than once. Only a staunch Club Estudiantes, or blinkered Argentina Supporter would ever class Veron as "f***ing great". The truth is, he bombed wherever he went, even at Club Estudiantes he wasn't that great. Only a staunch Club Estudiantes, or blinkered Argentina Supporter would ever class Veron as "f***ing great". Best, Cruyff, Messi, Ronaldo, Eusebio, Beckenbauer, etc. etc., they were/are "f***ing great", Veron was mediocre at best. If I asked a thousand people from all walks of life and from different Countries to write down their 50 best ever Players, apart from you and a couple of others, all Club Estudiantes Fans, no one would have Veron on that top 50. In fact, I would bet with you that none, apart from that faithful few, would have him even in their top 100. In fact they did a survey on the best ever Players and Veron came in at 125, that was in 2003. The list of 2024, he is not even on it, which is about right. The facts that you are giving me are a load of boring bollox. Club World Cup?!! Apart from the Fans who have Clubs in it, who gives a flying fig about the CWC??!! What he did with Club Estudiantes is irrelevant, that is like me spouting off as to what Ole Gunnar Solskjær did at Molde. What did he do at Boca Juniors, Sampdoria, Parma, Lazio, Manchester United, Chelsea, Internazionale ....absolutely sod all really. he did nothing in the Argentinian National Team, in fact he was blamed for their poor showing in the World Cup. Ok, for Club Estudiantes, i will let you call him "f***ing great", because you are a CE Supporter, obviously and we all stand by our players, no matter how crap they might turn out to be, with the Club we Support, but not anywhere else, because he wasn't.
