He also played in those 3 clubs... That tells a lot why he's loved by all in Portugal. He also became quiet a character after he retired and he's famous for his meme when he was a candidate running for president of Sporting. His press conference is in RU-vid. He became a comedian by accident.
I never saw Maradona do half as much of what Futre did . Except in drugs , Futre was better than him in everything else . George Best was better than Maradona . Maradona at Naples , without the Brazilian Careca , would have won nothing at all .
So true, my friend!He got bad luck to choose Atletico instead another great time back then!He got dazzled with a few pesetas thrown by the controversial(to say the least)Jesus Gil & Gil.We have to keep in mind , Futre kind of opened the doors for Portuguese players playing outseas . So, experience to choose a solid and honest football project was none. Atletico was always in the shadow of Real and Barcelona. Even with Futre, Atletico never took off.It was him and one or two good players. Can you imagine if it was today.....!?
Spectacular player. I always thought, he was the best Portuguese dribbler of the ball I've seen. His ability to beat numerous players in close proximity & change directions so suddenly, is reminiscent of George Best & Lionel Messi. If he'd been a prolific goalscorer as well. He'd have been ranked next to Eusébio & Cristiano Ronaldo.
@@AK_AVFCHello there! You must be from the contrarian dimension! Futre dribbled like for like as Maradona. Maradona himself and his manager Menotti with Argentina and Barcelona said so. Excellent as they were/are Eusebio’s and Ronaldo’s dribbling is not on that level.
1st internacional portuguese football player ever, in is 1st professinal year he Just whon the Champions league and portugal cup whith Porto football club not a big team in Europe, in that year he whon haverything whith Porto and the balon d'or whent to ruud Gullit the netherlands player that only had whon the eredivisie the Netherlands cup... in spain he still is the Atlético de Madrid legendary player of all time.
This is my favorite player ever. He made me love the sport and become a FCPorto supporter. During his prime his on ball skills were only matched by Maradona. He was the 3d best Portuguese player ever. Ronaldo is top 3 ever. Eusebio still has an edge because of durability. But he was better than Figo. Undermined by his knees injuries that took out a good part of his prime, he had immense bad luck and this cost him the recognition of the world beyond those who saw football in the 80s. He became the most expensive player ever when he left Porto has European Champion and the best player on that team with 21yo. But he should have never went to Atletico. It was a low profile team and there was only so much he could do by himself in order to climb towards Real Madrid status. He should have picked Real, Milan or Inter. But the money that came from Atletico was unheard at that time... He also came into a blind sided era of Portuguese National team. We had excellent 70's and early 80s squads. Same in the mid 90s. Futre prime was right in the middle of this dry spell and was left all alone. Had he been 5 years younger and the world could have seen a team with Futre, Figo and Rui Costa playing together. One can only imagine what such gigantic creative talent together would produce...
In my opinion and in the opinion of the many Portuguese who saw him play, he is considered to be the second best Portuguese player ever. Eusébio was a great player but he was overvalued a lot because of the club he played for, SL benfica, a club that was attached to the political regime of dictator Salazar. Eusébio was basically a piece of political propaganda and still is today.
@@fabiobarbosa8172 In 1982 Paolo Rossi won the golden ball, in 90 Lothar Matthäus won the golden ball, in 2000 it was Figo's turn to win and the following year it was Michael Owen's turn. Many others have won a golden ball. They were all great players but it wasn’t winning a golden ball that they were once considered the best in their country. Futre never won a golden ball, probably because he went to the wrong club. Eusébio was a great player, but never at the level of what Benfica's propaganda always wanted to show. Yes, Futre was better and Ronaldo is light years away from Eusebio. You may not accept it, but that is the truth.
@@viruzzfx either you're a Porto supporter or you're the dumbest man to ever talk about football. The fact that Pele and Maradona rate Eusébio as one of the best alongside them, should be enough for anyone to believe it. Futre was a phenomenal player, and it is a shame that he doesn't get enough recognition. But he is not in the top 3 of the best portuguese players ever. 1. Cristiano Ronaldo 2. Eusébio 3. Luís Figo There are facts that prove this list and it's ranking order. Whatever anyone else says, including you, is pure bias. So, in proper portuguese: pára de comer gelados com a testa.
@@fabionunes8972 claro, mas pensa que escrever em inglês torna os comentários dele verdadeiros 🤣 Propaganda do Benfica diz ele!! Até aqui era o Salazar que mandava no mundo. Agora era o Benfica!
In the same way, if you watch regular media and mainstream youtube pages in the last year many want to burry Ronaldo and pretend he never existed because Messi won a WC "and is now officially the best player ever". The same way Pele was undisputed as the best ever until recently because "he scored 1000 goals" and won 3 WCs (one of which he never even played in). Because there are narratives. If Futre had ONE more vote in the Ballon Dor nomination instead of Gullit, he'd be better known. If he played for Real instead of Atleti. ...etc There's certain criteria that ensures you are talked about. But it doesn't have anything to do with talent.
pourquoi d’après toi parce que c’était pas un brésilien en argentin ou en néerlandais ou en italien, ou en espagnol, juste un portugais qui aime à mes yeux, t’es beaucoup plus fort que tous ces joueurs, Platini Eusébio, Cristiano Ronaldo Messi, Gulli van Basten Bajo, Ronaldo Nal Dinho lui perforant les défonce, toutes ses actions offensive était une symphonie
Legenda....hay dos momentos en la historia del futbol en Portugal Eusebio (intocable) ...y Futre...Futre, abrió las puertas y ventanas...jugadorazo! Luego vinieron Figo, Quaresma, Ronaldo...pero Futre era otra cosa...!
Que enorme jogador tínhamos ver e relembrar o grande Schow que Paulo Futre dava em campo note-se que Frute corria mais com a bola que alguns sem ela. Este Homem é para mim o ( Number one ). Obrigado Futre pôr tudo que deste ao futebol sem dúvida um expectaculo de jogador. Deves ser relembrado ( Ontem, Hoje e sempre ). Respect 🙏Viva Portugal 👏👏👏👏👏
Not the goalscorer Ronaldo is but Futre had far superior close control and dribbling skills, he was amazing but had some terrible injuries , he’s from the laudrup, Gullit, Van Basten, Valderrama,Maradona, Romario, Stoijkovic , Hagi, Baggio Era and he was one of the best players in the world
cultspaghetti Trashmovie Those are some truly special players, in terms of pace and style I see similarities with Hagi, a genius player in his own right.
One of the finest players of that era. Pure natural talent. His dribbling skills were as good as Maradona, only lacked the physicality. Injuries prevented futre from becoming even greater. Despite that, he should of won the ballon d'or in 87.
Quem não lembra são os brasileiros, em Portugal o Futre é Rei, aliás, todos ex jogadores europeus, de alto nível, são grandes personalidades na Europa, é só aqui no Brasil que ex jogadores de outras décadas são desprezados.
El m¡Maradona de Portugal... una maquina de hacer futbol, jugaba perfecto con las dos piernas, muy peligroso y escurridizo, siempre lograba marcar, aun perdiendo 3-0 el seguia hasta el final. Mi admiracion por su poder futbolistico.
Futre é uma lenda de Portugal, mas foi em Espanha ao serviço do Atlético onde mais brilhou. Foi ele que me fez ver os jogos do Atletico pela televisão. Mesmo na fase descendente da sua carreira, fiquei maravilhado com as suas exibições no meu Benfica. É um craque. Sem querer fazer comparações, para mim está entre os 3 melhores futebolistas Portugueses de todos os tempos, junto com Eusébio e Cristiano.
Um jogador muito á frente na sua geração... Infelizmente muito castigado pelos defesas e a sua carreira acabou muito cedo.. Não ouveram muitos jogadores com velocidade e técnica como ele... Imagino o que ele seria hoje com todas as condições que existem
O futre nao acabou a carreira muito cedo porque jogou ate aos 32 anos. Normalmente os jogadores acabam a carreira depois dos 35 anos. O Van Basten por exemplo acabou a carreira com apenas 29 anos por causa das lesoes.O platini acabou a carreira com 31 anos por nao ter mais vontade para jogar futebol.O Dani ex benfica,sporting e ajax acabou a carreira com apenas 27 anos porque nao tinha mais vontade para jogar futebol
Messi is the Argentine Futre ;) . He had the heart and passion of Maradona and the playstation control tecnique of Messi , look at the quality of the fields and the ball control
He was good, but not a wonderful player. Watching edited videos like this you could think that Futre was a mega star and not, he wasn’t. Eusebio, Figo and CR7 were, by far, the three best portuguese players of all times
Bastava este Futre com o CR7 e já chegava. Junta-lhe o Bernardo Silva e Show de Bola. Nem quero imaginar o que seria a seleção de 2004 com o Futre, ou a de 2006. Há jogadores que aparecem em Portugal numa altura errada. O Futre foi um deles. Tanto talento e ficou entre gerações. Como outros aliás, mas ele era máquina. Meio maluco, mas máquina :D
One of my childhood heroes. I couldnt watch him til my 20s but He was a legend at Sensible World Of Soccer, despite He is playing for a low level team (Reggiana) I always selected that team because of Futre.
@@hugomiguel6746 foi um jornalista benfiquista do jornal abola que votou no gullit e assim o futre perdeu a bola de ouro por causa de um portugues benfiquista invejoso
@@fernandoeiras penso que foi o benfiquista Rui Santos o director do jornal abola ate 1992 que votou no gullit para assim o Futre nao ganhar a bola de ouro de 1987 como jogador do fcporto.Foi superestanho porque em 1987 o Futre foi claramente o melhor jogador do mundo onde ajudou o fcporto a ser campeao da europa e ainda foi para o atletico madrid como a maior transferencia mundial daquele ano .Convem lembrar que a bola de ouro é um premio anual entre 1 de janeiro e 31 dezembro de cada ano e nao apenas uma epoca desportiva
For me between 17/22 years old he is the most naturally gifted player Portugal produced, not the most complete because he was too individualistic and tried to solve things always going 1 vs 1, started smoking at 12 years old and he wasn’t good scoring chances, the year he scored more goals was playing alongside Schuster, but his dribbling and acceleration and his left foot was Pure football from the street, you cannot learn this on Academies, only try to recreate it.
Melhor que CR entre os 18 e 22? Tenho dúvidas! Muito já não se lembram do primeiro golo de CR pelo Sporting ou do que fazia no Manchester United. CR para além do dribble estonteante nessa idade, era muito mais completo (jogo aéreo, livres, etc.)
@@miguelponte8594 Não concrdo. Lembro-me perfeitamente dos dois e a única vantagem do CR sobre o Futre era o juízo. Mas em talento, velocidade, drible era superior. Lembrem-se que no tempodo futre não havia internet nem tv por cabo. Nós cá só víamos uns segundos por semana no Domingo desportivo... Hoje um jogador como o Futre, não teria preço.
@@fernandoeiras eu costumava ver religiosamente os tais segundos no Domingo Desportivo e acompanhava todas as façanhas do Futre, que era o meu idolo. Mas não sofro de anti Ronaldite, cuja carreira acompanhei de perto. Posso dizer que não tem comparação. Na melhor das hipóteses Futre tinha um dribble um pouco melhor, tal como Messi, fruto do baixo centro de gravidade, mas em velocidade, truques, potência de remate, jogo de cabeça e passe, o CR no seu auge era melhor, para além de mais regular e consistente. Estamos a falar do maior goleador da história e segundo melhor no capitulo das assistências a seguir a Messi. Se há dúvidas quanto ao que Ronaldo era capaz de fazer no seu auge, há centenas de vídeos disponíveis, todos com diferentes golos e jogadas.
@@miguelponte8594 Felizmente, não sou anti Ronaldo, um fenómeno que sinceramente não compreendo, ainda menos dos portugueses. Simplesmente aprecio mais o drible, a velocidade, o arranque, o balanço e o estilo do Futre. Saía-lhe naturalmente. O Ronaldo, é uma exemplo de trabalho e dedicação. É efectivamente mais completo, em termos de ser um finalizador e cabeceador nato. Mas o Futre era inconfundível, inigualável. Era como se nos dias de hoje, juntasses Mbape e o Messi, com a elegância do Ginola. Mas enfim, são apenas opiniões, que obviamente são válidas e respeito. Dois grandes talentos mundiais. Só que ao Futre faltou o devido reconhecimento, que o Ronaldo teve (e até ele, por vezes, nem todo o devido).
@@fernandoeiras Acho que as pessoas esquecem o Ronaldo de 2004 a 2012...o drible, a velocidade, o arranque, os truques. Não ficava atrás de Futre em nada. Aliás, penso que era melhor, pois não tinha um centro de gravidade tão baixo. Mas é normal que as pessoas façam essas afirmações...é um efeito conhecido de branqueamento de memória. Tendemos sempre a endeusar os antigos jogadores porque só nos lembramos do melhor deles. Já um jogador em atividade, lembramos com mais força aquilo que joga na atualidade, que no caso de Ronaldo, obviamente, aos 37/38 anos será sempre uma comparação injusta pois Futre deixou de jogar aos 30 anos. Foi inclusive estatisticamente o melhor no drible em 2 ou 3 anos, mesmo com o Rei do dribble, Messi, a despontar. O mesmo vale para o Ronaldo brasileiro, Ronaldinho, Zidane...tudo jogadores que tiveram 2 ou 3 epocas de alto nível, sobretudo ao nível das seleções, que hoje são endeusados quando comparados com a atual versão de CR. Aqui ficam algumas das melhores jogadas de 2008...apenas. São 18 minutos de vídeo de momentos à domingo desportivo jogados na liga mais competitiva e dura do mundo numa só temporada: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-PyXbw7hbdhw.html E aqui fica mais um: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xX8ZNnggmC0.html Futre foi fantástico e era o meu idolo, mas o Ronaldo no seu auge brincava com os jogadores adversários. Não chegou à estratosfera dos jogadores porque marcava muitos golos, mas porque tinha o talento de fazer tudo parecer fácil.
I always feel that football has actually devolved since the end of the 90's. The game today just doesn't produce true dribblers anymore. When you see them now, you're almost blown away by surprise. 70's, 80's and 90's we saw some truly outstanding number 10's. Future was underrated for the majority of his prime.
Futre très Bon joueur FC Porto Atletico de Madrid Benfica Marseille Reggiana Milan AC west ham international portugais Atletico de Madrid fuguer Yokohama
He is in top 3 for Portogal if he was born little later he will play with figo Rui Costa deco and take World Cup. As a technician shout he is above all. Cristiano Futre Fugo Rui Costa Deco top 5. I have not seen Eusebio so I don’t now
A cocktail of injuries, commodism, poorly timed change of scenery and a very lackluster Portuguese NT during most of his career didn't allow him to gain the widespread recognition his talent deserved. At the time Atletico Madrid couldn't challenge for any meaningful titles but Jesus Gil had lifechanging money and it certainly didn't help that Pinto da Costa kept busy in the summer of 87 auctioning Futre to the highest bidder. Per Futre, both of them hugged each other out of joy and cracked open a bottle of champaign when the deal came through(which was connected with Jesus Gil getting Atletico Madrid's presidency/ownership if I recall correctly) such was the magnitude of the deal. Purely talking football, he should've stayed with FC Porto for one or two more seasons, especially 1987/88 - Futre and Magalhães out wide in the wings, Madjer as a playmaker , Fernando Gomes at the 9, Rui Barros, the talent that bursted through in 87/88 season , making those devasting the runs, André holding at the 6, Geraldão and Celso as a centerback duo, João Pinto, Jozef Mlynarczyck, António Sousa, Jaime Pacheco,Inácio...speed, power, skill, goals, grit, , experience, everything a team need to win.
@@diogopinto9462 I don't understand what you're talking about, messi mentioned this guy's name by saying he was one of my idols so what's your argument. In fact you don't know who was this guy back then for sure.
For me Futre was from the same category of a Maradona and later Ronaldo (brazilian one) the type of player to play with the ball glued to the boot and tearing defesenses apart with vertiginous and unpredictable movement. A sensational player
One of the greatest of his Era, Maradona, Van Basten, Romario, Laudrup, Valderrama, Gullit, Hagi, Savicevic, Stoijkovic and the legendary Paulo Futre 👍
@@rubensantos3740 É verdade Futre foi um gênio, ao lado de Eusébio e Cristiano Ronaldo formam a santíssima Trindade do futebol português. Rui costa, Figo e Coluna vem depois desses.
Futre foi melhor que Coluna e Figo, embora com as inconstancias ao longo da carreira, lesoes, lembrando ate um pouco o Ronaldo fenomeno nesse aspecto, Futre tinha uma genialidade num nivel que so poucos, decididamente merecia a Bola de Ouro em 1987 quando foi campeao europeu pelo Porto, e sou benfiquista e reconheço que nesse ano dos tres que lutaram pela bola de ouro, Futre, Butragueno e Gullit, em que acabou por ganhar Gullit mas nao tem comparaçao o ano que fez o Gullit para com o que fez Futre esse ano. Segundo Futre, acontecem coisas estranhas no futebol, talvez quem sabe o facto de Gullit se ter transferido esse ano para o ACMilan, Futre teve mesmo para perguntar ao Berlusconi o que tinha feito. Quanto a isso nao sei, mas que merecia, merecia,
The Portuguese Maradona...shame so little is known about him now outside Portugal and Spain. Also a shame he played in a weak era for Portuguese national team.
AMAZING..player..he destroyed Real Madrid all by himself one game...if you followed 90s football, you knew how good he was..too many injuries and changed too many teams..a great dribbler, faster than Maradona better than Figo, Messi watched lots of his films...for sure..LEGEND
Not exactly. Futre was 27 when Rui Costa, Paulo Sousa, Figo and Joao Pinto were promoted to the senior national team. Problem was that it was at this very same age that he got injured. There's a Portugal vs Scotland game on youtube where they sort of played together and this was a complete annihilation.
Don't forget that this guy was 2nd place in Balon D'or, wich he lost to Ruud Gullit and that in a career with to many injuries. Is ball control was extremely similar to Lionel Messi. Was, on par with Figo, the best virtuoso in the history of portuguese Football. Paulo Futre, que Máquina.
He was much better than Figo. His skills were only matched by Maradona at his time. He should have gone to Inter or Milan instead of Atletico. Atletico was a nobodys club at the time. Also had devastating injuries and had terrible luck with Portuguese national team. He came in between generations. The 80's generation was world class. The 90's too. He came in somewhat in the middle of both and was left by himself.
best player I´ve ever seen in Atletico de Madrid and I´ve seen Griezman, Falcao, Forlan and many others great players in Atletico de Madrid but he was amazing and he never won the golden ball that proves that asward is a peace of shit
unfortunately he did not play in a big club in his era because if he had played today he would be recognized as one of the best players ever. That left foot was magic and dribbled 4 or 5 players without problems.pure magic
He was the 1st portuguese to play in a big internacional team Atlético de Madrid was and are a big team he whon haverything Very underrated, in the year he whon the Champions he Lost the balon d'or to ruud Gullit the Netherlands player that only had whon the Netherlands Championship, he was very controversial out of the field.
He played with BIG teams...problem was, he had very bad knee injuries, and changed too many teams, he was amazing to watch..i agree Messi watched a lot of film on him....
il était en avance sur son temps, on lui a volé un ballon d’or on lui a manqué de respect. Il est vrai connaisseur de football peuvent juste dire ce qu’il a fait pendant sa carrière à l’Atlético en grande partie et à Porto. C’est l’un des 10. Meilleurs joueurs du monde, c’est un pur délice de de regarder un joueur, comme ça s’exprimer, on dirait un chef d’orchestre, on dirait Mozart Beethoven
Provavelmente o melhor futebolista português. Sem menosprezar o CR7, but this player was the great, nos tempos da radio e dos primórdios da tv a cores!!!. Marcou muitos golos mas ofereceu muitos mais a marcar, só de encostar para a baliza!!!!
I mean, acho que podemos concordar todos que acima dele só está o Cristiano e o Eusébio, mas sim, sem duvida uma lenda e a meu ver ao nivel do Maradona, infelizmente a midia é o que é, e assim como o Eusébio, o Futre tornou-se underrated, ao contrário do Pelé e Maradona, que se tornaram overrated... no meio disto a midia lixa tudo
Abaixo do CR7 com certeza,mais jogava demais...CR fica a frente por ser completo,e pelos títulos,mais vale a comparação,assim como com o Eusébio...como vale a comparação Maradona x Messi,pra mim Maradona por ter sido decisivo sempre pela Argentina está a frente...mais Messi tbm é muito bom!!!
@@GuilhermeRodrigues-tq6hc Maradona não foi só decisivo pela Argentina. Também elevou imenso o Nápoles. Imagina CR7 ou Messi irem para uma equipa do meio da tabela e levá-la a ganhar a liga contra Sporting, Benfica e Porto. Maradona fez isso pelo Nápoles. A diferença é que naquela altura a Série A era a melhor e mais competitiva liga do mundo.
