@@cacbdb They're both slow, too. Prosinecki was an artist type. He was fun to watch. Regarding his lifestyle (chainsmoking, nightclubbing) and stamina his body of work is pretty impressive: youth world cup victory as best player, world cup third place, european cup victory with Zvezda. Do you remember those years before signing to Madrid? Neither Boban nor Modric ever played on that level with that natural talent, creativity and courage. I'd take '89-91 Robert over Zvone Boban or Modric anyday.

@@vicentesalvador4406 Unfortunately, that would hardly be the case, since the national team was a part political choice aswell( all yugoslav nations had to be equally represented in the team). Croatia had way more succes in 30 years after the breakup of yugoslavia than former country in 50 years of existence.
@@bigbadwolf3491 I agree that he didn’t take it as seriously as he should/could have but to say he “never” trained is kind of an exaggeration. You don’t get that good without playing daily and practicing. Yeah maybe he didn’t take his fitness and health as seriously as he should have but you don’t just get skills like that without putting the time in
@@freshvesh2751 but you either have a skill or not. Anybody can train, but not everybody can learn these kind of skills. I agree though that training is good to improve them, but talent is still really important.
@@peacefulwarrior7954 Talent is an illusion. Until we didn't understood neuroscience we had this misconceptions about supernatural properties. Talent is nothing more than neurons in brain firing optimally when performing certain set of actions. If the links are established than consistency will be achieved. In other words some people who you call talented have consistency in doing certain set of actions. And some people have to learn them from scratch. Only reason why some people fail is either if they have disabilities , like learning disability, or lack of dedication. Another factor is loving what you do. Its easier to achieve brilliance in certain discipline if you love what you do. Some kids don't love football, they see it as financial opportunity or their parents forced them to play for same reasons. And some kids love to play football and develop certain routines through life that help them achieve their goals. To say that Prosinečki din't trained is so far from truth. He played football from the day he could walk, and he loved every day he could spend doing it. To love what you do = talent.
Pa i nije bas, u Realu i Barci bio rezerva, u Hrvatskoj 1998. takoder rezerva iako je trebao igrati... Dok je igrao u zvezdi je bio masina, a s 27 se vec vratio u Dinamo, bio je pravi spaner i velki talent, ali nije najbolji ni u Hrvatskoj, a kamoli s ovih prostora.
@@Maestro-le8gh moje subjektivno misljenje. Covek je imao sve, a o igrama u zvezdi ne vredi pricati! Samo mi ne spominji dzajica, bobeka i te stare vedete, pa ni modrica koji je imao srece u realu ne vredjajuci pri tom njegovo znanje!
@@lovacnavoceipovrce9738 Kad govorimo o modernom nogometu bio je odlican igrac i medju najtalentiranijima, ali mu je karijera mogla biti nesto bolja. Modric je tata za sve, covjek igra skoro 10 godina u Realu i osvojio je sve i individualno i timski, mozda i najbolji vezni ovog desetljeca i u top 10 u povijesti nogometa.
@@Maestro-le8gh ajojjjj! top 20, jer je vezao sa kristijanom 3 titule i nista vise. Po meni je zasluzniji rakitic i madzukic za finale nego on koji se dize u nebo.
I read somewhere that as a kid he trained with his dog. The drill was to keep the dog from taking the ball. If it's true, that explains his insane level of technique and ball control.
Gazza was way above average, but he had zero discipline. Robi played for Real Madrid and Barca, and won the European Cup with Red Star. All while smoking 2 packs of red Marlboro a day. King 😎

Hvala legendi Ciri. Da ga nije sklanjao iz tima Dinama, nikada Robi ne bi presao u Zvezdu. Najbolji Hrvat (poluSrbin) koji je ikada igrao za Zvezdu, veliki covek i veliki u svakom smisu

It's possible? Yugoslavia would have certainly won multiple World Cups. Imagine just adding to Croatian teams that have been to the finals and semi finals multiple times the strength of all the other ex Yugoslav republics.
Excellent video as usual barbosa :) Croatia's best ever player in my opinion. I remember having an argument with someone claiming peak Robert Prosinecki wouldn't get in the Croatia team that played at WC18... He said Davor Suker is only only player from 1998 good enough to play for them in 2018, I told him in a combined XI of their WC98 & & WC18 sides they'd be more featured in the XI from 1998, he didn't have a clue at all as this man had more ability in his little left toe than most do at their peak... if he really dedicated himself led a professional life away from the pitch he would've been an all time great, this is a man who hated training never took it serious and smoked 2 or 3 packs of cigarettes a day if he'd have been a fitness freak he'd be known by most.
bro what a clown guy who said is lmaoo,Suker,Boban,Prosinecki,Jarni,Aljosa Asanovic would easily get into 2018 Croatia(and i mentioned only more famous guys from 98)and Alen Boskic would easily get into 2018 Croatia(tho he was injured in 98)
@@dzemilmehovic5271 he tried saying Brozovic Kovacic and Perisic were better for him and that the 2018 team was far more talented, my eyes rolled told him he couldn't have seen Prosinecki at Red Star I thought he was the man who made them tick... Thought he was more important to that team than Dejan Savicevic, Sinisa Mihajlovic or Darko Pancev it was a great team though. I told him Zvonimir Boban could've ran the engine of that wc18 Croatia midfield on his own he was another underrated player today he'd be worth £60-70m, that Croatia 98 team were super talented I mentioned those and even Mario Stanic was another good player... I told him Slaven Bilic would get in so would Dario Simic and probably Igor Stimac too as the 18 defence wasn't that great, Jarni is definitely their best ever left back and without Roberto Carlos could've had a far longer stay at Real Madrid. It'd be been even stronger if Mihajlovic wouldn't have stayed Yugoslav and played for the land of his birth... I can't remember the 98 keeper maybe he'd make the combined XI too maybe he wouldn't I took no notice as the outfield players are the ones that stood out for me. Had the same conversation with people on a different thread a couple years back who genuinely actually believed Neymar is better than Pele, Ronaldo and Romario ever was... People like barbosa uploading these videos prove to anyone else who isn't blind that football players in general have gone downhill talent wise, the very elite players are still super talented but it seems there's a missing bunch of truly world class players these days... if Rivaldo's peak years were in the last 12 years he'd be argued as a top 3 player of his generation along with the obvious 2 no doubt, yet he was regarded as only a top 3 player from his country by most who don't look at him in depth...Some people would say he wasn't as good as Ronaldo, Ronaldinho or Kaka, even though Kaka arrived later a lot of people would list Rivaldo 4th place, personally I think out of those 4 Brazilians mentioned he was only behind Ronaldo who at his best was untouchable... Ronaldinho was the most fun to watch for skills and tricks made some people love football again but Ronaldo was actually a better Dribbler just didn't roll out the tricks. Kaka was amazing too but Rivaldo when not getting hit by football's mostly did things more directly and less eccentric than Dinho or Kaka, more than 400 goals in less than 900 games speaks for itself in Rivaldo's case for me, that's for a guy most people think as more of an attacking midfielder or second striker creator than outright scorer... If around today in this bad era Brazilian people would worship him. I've gone way off course a bit I still love football but just wanted to demonstrate how fickle some people are, some people think Christian Eriksen is better than Michael Laudrup ever was or those in the past 2 weeks saying Jack Grealish is the new Paul Gascoigne there's no respect to the ability of players in our past by a lot.
@@teebee3671 true,tho i think all Yugoslav players from 90s and before would cost 100m+ easily,if Pogba is worth 110m then Piksi,Boban,Dejo,Prosinecki are all worth 500m each.Its shame that people dont do research atleast,theres also great site Footbalia or soomething like that people can see old games and players there if nothing
@@teebee3671 people are deluded now.Prosinecki was Zvezdas most important player after Miodrag Belodedici whos also too underrated,when he played for Steaua and Zvezda he was literally as good as Baresi,Beckenbauer,Maldini,Scirea(if someone reads this and disagrees go find his games on footbalia,or watch Zvezdas full games from 90/91 on YT there are few full games avaliable)
His issues were numerous, but above all, what stopped him from being an all time world great was his selfishness as a player. He always hung onto the ball too long and wasn't as effective as he could've been. However, his skills were a joy to watch.
he was and remains world class, his trophies speak for themselves. I had the honor of watching the match where he made fun of Maradona at the World Cup in Italy. Maradona himself wrote in his book that Robi was one of his toughest opponents. He wasn't stingy with the ball, that's nonsense. Luka Modrić and today's midfielders are not even close to him, the quality of football started to drop drastically after 2000.@@jamesmason8436
I saw Prosinecki during the entirety of his stint in Spain. Only bad luck and injuries prevented him from being one of the all time greats. I still remember an announcer saying about him "he punishes the ball like the Gods."
2:07 Au jebote... jel ovo onaj famozni gol sa "Autokomande". To je valjda neki dio u Beogradu koliko sam skužio kroz godine da se taj spominje kao metafora. Kakav lgrač, kakav igrač dečki, igra Robert Prosinečki!
Waouw I forgot how good he was...just remember that he beat my OM Team in 1991 Champions League Finale...then got bought by Real Madrid, the year after...
Purtroppo Prosineski era un grande talento ma con un problema enorme, non aveva la testa da calciatore. Spesso arrivava agli allenamenti ubriaco, faceva tardi la sera, non si presentava agli allenamenti. Al Real Madrid in particolare questa caratteristica emerse fin da subito
Nice to watch his technical highlights but his best days were as a young player of 21-22 years. Never developed once he left Red Star Belgrade and became a shadow of himself. Injuries and lack of professionalism didn't help him. Early on he had the ability to move away from opponents with the ball with some deceptively good acceleration, but when he lost that he tended to keep the ball too long and over complicate things. No surprise that he had to return to Croatia at 28 (when most players are in their prime) and for the NT he lost his spot in the XI during the course of both Euro 96 and France 98.
Former Croatian players were so technic and so pleasing to the eye. Prosinecki, Boban, Suker...also Savicevic :) who is not Croatian but also from same lands.
We went to a Game in Belgrade once as kids.. saw the Team after Training.. Zuti came in and he was SMOKING!! Soon after we all started doing it.. he probably still smokes.
1991 Red Star Belgrade and Ballon D'Or Dejan Savicevic (2nd) Darko Pancev (2nd) Robert Prosinecki (5th) Miodrag Belodedici (8th) If only football now is as equal as it was. Every nation has big team who will compete for the biggest prize
Oi Barbosa tudo bem? When a video about our legendary "Carioca" right back "O Jorginho"...(America RJ, Flamengo, Bayer Leverkusen, Bayern München, Kashima...São Paulo then back home in Rio de Janeiro...Vasco da Gama e O Tricolor Fluminense) World champion com a nossa seleção 1994!!! Alongside Dunga, Romário, Aldair, a young Ronaldinho Nazário, Bebeto, Branco... He was really really good!!!

@@thefm5660 F M may be' l Am not world. S best football erudite But . I ca.t not understand why Dragan Dzajic is considered oficcialy the best player in Yugoslavia ever when he barely can be' in top ten yugoslavian ever !
Today Prosinecki would be worth more than Neymar or Mbappe. In my opinion he was better than Zidane at his best, the problem was he didn’t live like a sportsman so he didn’t even reach his full potential
@@fransandor3621 you know, i don’t think smoking is as bad as everyone says it is for cardio ability. I know it sounds crazy but I never saw my ability to play drop off at all when I picked it up. Granted, I didn’t play at this level but was still playing somewhat competitive
@@freshvesh2751 same dude when i was a kid coach always said that if you smoke one cigaret that you throw away a month worth of running or something in that style but i never felt that now i play in croatian 5 division and i can easyl play full 90 min and i smooke 5 a day
@@fransandor3621 lol yeah I heard the same bullshit, I think as long as you’re running and using your lungs and not just being a lazy fuck it’s very minimal damage or at least for performance. Maybe when you get older. Nicotine has a lot of actual benefits too though. I love Croatian players and team man, such talent for such a small nation. I thought they got screwed in the WC finals
1998 he did not got his time in the semi’s in France; ... Zuti was fun to watch but he was irritating cuz he was holding ball to long and did not pass :)
He was good and an exellent dribbler. However, when he played in Real Madrid he abused of dribbling, which slowed down the game of the group, because in a team like that you need lightning fast midfielders who pass the Ball quickly, not keeping it by dribbling rivals. In my opinion that is why he never made it with "los merengues".
not rly its more becasue war in craotia and injuries+ he didnt slowed game just becasue was want to dribble, its becasue he didnt have anyone to pass too in that moment
In what ways? Modrić could do everything Prosinečki did but a lot more efficiently. And they can't even be compared when it comes to covering the pitch. Prosinečki was a one-way player, Modrić is a complete box-to-box midfielder with the technical ability of a playmaker.
It was not easy to play in Yugoslavian leage .... He is one of the best ..... If Yugoslavia did not fall a part from 1990 -2005 second Yugoslavian team could win world cup for chosen first would be walk in park .... the same is for basketball ......
