TOP6 Worst Football Betrayals in History 

Hey, it's David here, the creator of Dada Football. I've been working on this video for a long time, trying to show you the best video possible. I hope I have fulfilled your expectations. If you have any suggestions please feel free to write, even critical ones. Thanks! 😅❤

It is still considered one of the biggest betrayals in football history even if it's mostly not Figo's fault. I still remember Florentino Perez's smile at the first Barca-Real match after Figo's transfer.

ive only known Figo as a Real man and its weird seeing him in Barca colors.

You've forgotten one of the best players ever. Johan Cruijff left Ajax and joined Feyenoord.

There are a lot of innacuracies about the Van Persie section... he was never offered a new contract at Arsenal, same with Fabregas.

No nothing was like Mo Johnston joining Rangers before or since. Rangers fans said they wanted to sell their season tickets back. At least Man United fans were happy when Van Persie joined. Mo Johnston managed to incite hatred in both teams. Also this was when Scotland was a tough nation too rather than current Scotland which is a shadow of its former self.

Bro your channel is so underrated! Subbed.

Your quality of videos is very high. It's like a movie. Keep growing bro. Love ur videos❤❤ i think u will get million within a year or even less.. ❤

A few betrayals in Norway could give all these 6 a run for their money. Now, I'm a Bodø/Glimt fan. So I'm actively enjoying some of these betrayals. What's even crazier is that these ones happened in the span of just a couple of months with just the last 2 transfer windows. In no particular order: 1. Geir Bakke from Lillestrøm to Vålerenga in the summer 2023 2. Daniel Bassi from Tromsø to Bodø/Glimt, summer 2023 3. Jostein Gundersen from Tromsø to Bodø/Glimt, early winter 2024 4. Gaute Helstrup from Tromsø to Bodø/Glimt, early winter 2024 5. August Mikkelsen from Hammarby to Bodø/Glimt deadline day 2024 6. Runar Espejord from Herenveen to Bodø/Glimt, winter 2022. Seeing a pattern? Good. Now, some context. Vålerenga vs Lillestrøm is by far the biggest derby in Norwegian football. Trumps Vålerenga vs Lyn (west Oslo vs east Oslo) and even Fredrikstad vs Sarspborg (Østfold derby). Stunt pegg has a video on this rivalry. The fans hate each other, the clubs hate each other, like they've celebrated each other's relegations, they're both rather big clubs from the same area, so transfers between those 2 clubs doesn't really happen. But on a faithful day the summer of 2023, Geir Bakke after being a very successful Lillestrøm coach for a while having lead them through promotion and 2020 and created a relatively stable high flying club, he just leaves his project to coach a relegation battling Vålerenga. He was called Quisling by lillestrøm fans, the lillestrøm fans hung up a rat banner, a big drawing of a rat with Geir Bakke's head hanging with a sack of money. Now, the rest of the betrayals are between Tromsø and Bodø/Glimt. Tromsø and Bodø/Glimt are the only 2 football teams that play at a high level while located above the arctic circle. It's known as the Arctic circle derby, they're the 2 biggest cities in northern Norway, it's Bodø vs Tromsø, Nordland fylke vs Troms fylke, it's the battle of Northern Norway. Granted August Mikkelsen and Runar Espejord arent' direct transfers from Tromsø to Bodø/glimt, however both of 'em became HUGE fan favourites for Tromsø after their long carreers in Tromsø, they're both Tromsø acadamy products, Mikkelsen for example said no to a transfer to Glimt early in his carreer because he didn't want to betray Tromsø, but after he'd had a season in Hammarby, Glimt tried bid after bid for Mikkelsen, and the bid eventually got so huge that hammarby just had to accept. Same story basically with Espejord, though Espejord has a bigger carreer in Tromsø, he spent 6 season in Tromsø, so he's a rather big figure from Tromsø. And he transfered to Glimt in 2022, and now he's called Quisling too. (Quisling was the historical norwegian Nazi sympathizer, there's a reason that name is synonymous with Judas). Daniel Bassi is slightly more forgivable, as he wanted to join Glimt due to style of play. He wanted to be an attacking left winger instead of what Tromsø was offering him as a fullback. And Daniel Bassi is young, so people don't really blame him that much. And Bassi wasn't getting that much game time anyway, he's no established name. It's possible to let that transfer go. Now Gaute Helstrup and Jostein Gundersen however, oh hoh now those two betraying Tromsø was the biggest strike by far. Gaute Helstrup was the Tromsø manager who lead Tromsø to a 3rd place finish in eliteserien as an underdog team, they were solid defensively and didn't score that many goals, but managed to win the games they needed to win. This was a project Gaute had built from the ground up, getting promotion from OBOS to the top flight in 2020, just like Geir Bakke with Lillestrøm, and had worked hard over time to improve Tromsø as a team. That 3rd place finish was their best one in many years. And he took Jostein Gundersen with him to Bodø/Glimt. Jostein Gundersen, who probably was Tromsø's very best Center back that the team was built around. Jostein Gundersen's contributions to Tromsø in the 2023 season is a huge reason why Tromsø conceded the least amount of goals in 2023. Had he stayed at Tromsø, he probably would've been their captain by now. But nope, Jostein Gundersen and Gaute Helstrup go together to Bodø/Glimt on the same day for a transfer sum of 0. That's right, they went to Bodø/Glimt from tromsø, for free. And as the Norwegian season of 2024 has now started, Tromsø have started the season horrendusley as their defensive wall has been completely broken. 5 games and 0 points. 16th place, last place with a fear of relegation. Should Tromsø get relagated this season, no doubt a huge amount of blame will be put on Bodø/Glimt yoinking their manager and best center back. Bodø/Glimt didn't even need a head coach, like we'd only lost an assistant coach. Morten Kalvenes who went with Per Mathias Høgmo to Urawa red diamonds in Japan. That's right, Gaute Helstrup decided to abandon his job as head coach of Tromsø and join Kjetil Knutsen in Bodø/Glimt as an assistant coach. Like, imagine if Jürgen Klopp would join Erik Ten Hag tomorrow as an assistant coach. That's the feeling. And Tromsø fans are pissed. I'm looking forward to this season's away game against Tromsø, and I'm slightly worried about it as well. What will the TIFO look like from the Tromsø fans? How vile will it look?

U can't win champions League with Arsenel.. Henry won it with Barcelona.. He later said he did not regret leaving Arsenal..

Cruyff going to Feyenoord could be here, still is strange seeing him in a feyenoord shirt

Funny thing about betrayals is its only used to refer to players. Fans and teams only want loyalty from players but don't give loyalty themselves to players. A player can be blindsided by a team deciding to sell them or not renew their contract. And its just business. But if a player decides to leave, fans hate him and the clubs feel betrayed. As a Barca fan, I hold no hate for Figo. He had every right to leave if he felt it was a good decision for his career. Barca were struggling and wouldn't pay him more. Its well known in sports that if you want a star to stay with a struggling side, you'll never to pay more.

Very Informative and enjoyable video

Qualid video, lot of respect for Dada Football cos you can see that its getting better and looks better from episode to episode

How only 261 like and a girl bogging her head got 68m bro your the most underrated guy in the world

R9 played for both madrid and barca also for inter and Ac milan but still fans love him

How can you forget Bernd Schuster? 😂

So underrated u earned a sub

Realy good video, could you make a video about sweden in 1994 when they came 3rd in the world cup

Campbell won one of the last Tottenham trophies

As a Gooner i absolutely hold no animosity for Van Persie at all. He was always injured, had 1 great season, and he and the club cashed in. Then went on to have 1 more great season before he faded away. Was sad but it made sense for us as a club at the time. PS ref Cole- people need to listen to David Dein's chat about it in an interview- Dein admits it wasn't Cole's fault but the club's.

Luis Figo = Johnny Damon of football!

Michael Laudrup made the switch from Barcelona to Real Madrid in 1994, before Figo, and were met with the same reaction from fans.

What about Berghuis to Ajax?

1 year after Baggio’s departure, Fiorentina welcomed Gabriel Batistuta. If only Baggio never left and team-up with Batigol in attack. Imagine the havoc they would’ve wrecked.

Mo Johnston signing for Rangers after teasing his former club Celtic is always a hilarious transfer story. He made the right choice. His medal collection will tell you that. People outside of Scotland dont know how crazy a situation that truly was. 😂

Cruyff to Feyenoord was bigger than all of this video

Why is nobody talking about ibra like bro inter milan to ac milan?????????????

There is nothing called exchanging "glory of Catalunia" to "better money of Mardid". Its exchanging "Some random patch of glory in Catalunia" to "being part of the legacy of the most successful team in Spain and in Europe" and getting better money while doing so.

Crazy how the fans were angry with van persie and figo just because they burned their shirts.

Michael Laudrup - From Barca to Real 😂

Barça fans are savages. Figo joined the better club, although Perez is a pirate too.

Carlos Tevez United to City. As a United fan I still love Tevez

Paul Ince is loved even though he played for Liverpool and United

Everything is temporary but Burning jersey is permanent 😂😂😂

You can Micheal Owen to this list. Once you played for Liverpool you can't play for Manchester United.

What about Neuer to Bayern from Schalke?

I understand these kind of cases, these players don´t care if they play for Barça or Real. Man Utd or Liverpool, they are not fans the club like the real fans. They just want play football and make money.

How I wish I could go back to July 24 00

Every single player has targets and desires that fans are unaware of, none of them owe you or your club anything. They’ve worked through years to get to being professional players, once there they earn wages that are decided by the club and the players representatives, yes they earn serious money but beyond that they have a right to follow their own goals. Stop thinking they share your love for your club, they don’t, they want wages and medals, can’t provide those? Unlucky, they’ll move.

Didi you guys know Paulo Nunes??

its called BEING SMART !!!

Mario Götze vom BVB zu FC Bayern. Zur schlimmsten Zeit vor dem ChL Finale wurde es bekannt.

Van Persie wasnt offered a new contract?

Johan Cruyff from Ajax to Feyenoord

0:00

Nobody talking about Tévez

Steven Berghuis to Ajax

van persie wanted to win trophies....that wasn't possible at arsenal

11:25 that is why Serie A has become failure now, not the same as 90s where world class player will be at, they would rather play at EPL or LaLiga, also Calciopoli cases 😏😏

No surprise all these players left Arsenal for other clubs as they weren't gonna win anything at Arsenal

I don't think RVP is a betrayal, after more years in Arsenal he need to find a trophy, if u loved someone so much u must let them finda better thing what u can't do

The biggest traitor is Michael Owen Scouser boy from Liverpool betrayed the club and moved to Manchester United the most hated rival

This happened Frist time cricket IPL

But yo forget the worst adebayor from arsenal to Tottenham and scored against and he celebrate

Where is M. Laudrup? 5-0 5-0

No Michael Owen?

Barca is the one who sold him lmao

Perez is very smart

No Tevez either 🤷‍♂️

I think you should remake this video and leave out any EPL teams mainly cuz there is no loyalty for anyone there. Players switch up there left and right just cuz they want to stay in the its never coming home league. Yes i know SOME players have loyalty but for the most they arent.

Well they are pro players ....they have no obligation to a certain club just because the fans feel that way. It is a very romantic way of looking at things.

RVP wasn't really a betrayal.

I knew it.

Pirlo to juve transfer?

i used to be a fan of rolando nezario he is a not a ASS KISSER HE IS JUST A PLAYER

Why are people betray

Ever heard of Bernd Schuster? Apparently not… he fucked up in Spain and Germany

Gerry Cardinale fired Maldini 2023

Baggio didn't betray Fiorentina...

Figo went there won UCL 🎉🎉🎉. Suck it barca. Put a lid on it. Hala Madrid😂😂😂😂😂😂

U forgot dembele

Barcelona fans 😅😅😅

I mean can’t blame him Madrid are better club than Barcelona

If you’re going to make a video like this then at least research who the proper rivals are. Salah going to United wouldn’t bother Liverpool as much as Joining Everton. Tevez going to Man City from Man U is more of a betrayal

Where's Jens Jeremies?

Michael Laudrup made the switch from Barcelona to Real Madrid in 1994, before Figo, and were met with the same reaction from fans.

IMO it’s Barcelona who “betray” their star players.. like Figo. Barcelona lure them in using the prestige of the club.. and once they are signed, they are treated like crap, and do not get the wages they deserve. So it’s Barcas fault.
