How One of Spain's Greatest Midfielders Went Undiscovered For So Long 

He is crazy good .

Yeah David silva was criminally underrated just born in the wrong generation

Obviously much more than us

To be frank he has a fair bit of XP dembele was just AFK😂❤

That morrocan map you put is disrispectfull cause morroco is the hole contry until moritany

To be honest, Di Maria might still not get the recognition even if he was born in the 40s for real, so it's just how things must happen.

Di Maria is getting more recognition Thoe u can’t really call him underrated as much anymore. After winning World Cup, copa America.

The only thing that sets Xavi Iniesta apart from most extremely underrated midfielders like Silva is their trophies

@@EagleEyes77 yes he is he’s not very underrated anymore he’s just underrated without the “very” he’s getting more recognition slowly after World Cup/copa America if we’re being honest.

@@Alfredo888 oh okay

Santi cazorla, busquets

Silva benched half these players, was very underrated from a Spanish perspective, the Prem knew what he was about

Isco

He went to play I'm England which was made things worse for him, those who played in Spain were a step above him, the same could be said about Fabregas and Carzola

Thiago Alcantara coming through the generation afterwards

Very

& they built a statue of him at Etihad, yeah right!

David Silva was simply brilliant

Only if your rating system is "number of positive opinions". If your rating system is "number of trophies won" he is not underrated.

@@paullowoleoutside of Man City fans, he’s not as mainstream as he should be for how good he was. Like people mention Gerrard waaay more and he equalled Gerrards total assists in 200 less matches.

Yeah but I still feel if he played in this current City squad, he’d be rated and mentioned waaay more

Im a city fan but David Villa is one of my favourites all time since he in 2010 WC was soo good. Only player who’s autograph I have, would love to have some current and ex man city players autograph.

Oh man those were the days. Madrid and Barca were very wary of that Valencia team.

if they were all in their prime together they could have definitely taken a few pieces of silverware even in those days haha

Same

same

Same

hahaha, hope I could make those meals a little more enjoyable bro ❤

I definitely should brother 🫡 0:01

much love brother ❤really means a lot

should get more respect outside of City fans for how good he was tbh. Maybe if played today he’d have 2-3x more recognition. I even saw some comments saying Bruno is better 💀

@@RaymarFootballBruno isn’t even better than Ødegaard

@@RaymarFootball as a united fan. bruno is underrated but silva (both silvas) are out of his reach. the only silva he can beat is andre silva.

@@MERCwtm maybe this season. but overall nah, bruno racked 1 season with 1 g+a contribution per match. 2 times with 0.6 and 2 times with 0.4 per match. odegaard touched that stat only 1 season so far.

yet he’s still unappreciated by most!

Did you watch the video? That’s the entire point of it lol

He never was underrated in my books

@@power279just the fact that so many casuals dont rate him makes him underrated. if he played for City today he’d have much more recognition

he would have made any club better tbh, could fit anywhere and proves he can run a midfield

@@RaymarFootballcity don’t win their first prem title in 2012 without him. Who knows what happens after that. No Pep perhaps.

don't forget fabregas

Indeed, but I consider him as Barça player​@@five5654

Or Busquets.

pedro too

it was a bad day to press as an opposition 🤣

a big reason why he wasn’t playing for a massive club at an earlier age was because how remote he was imo 🤣 but respect

@@RaymarFootball it’s really not that remote the islands and spain are fairly well connected, but definitely if he was born in spain his career would’ve been something else

Of course haha, but it’s sad how much respect he lacks

You know ball 🤝

much love my man ❤really means a lot, I’ll try my best to keep it up!

true, but he still doesnt have the recognition he deserves for how godly he was in the PL

of course bother! thanks for watching 🙏

If Silva had went to Utd, they would have preserved a lot of dominance 😭

Thank you for the kind words brother ❤️ God bless you as well

thank you for the support brother ❤

not a crazy take shows how good he was 🔥

really appreciate the love and support brother ❤️ hope I can keep entertaining the OG subs like you!

Definitely. :)

Yup, a true wizard 🧙

didnt wanna risk too much high profile moments for copyright reasons 😭

just hope they can stay healthy!

couldnt have said it better brother

ball knowledge sir 🤝

Just LOL at vertogen... And moussa. You re not serious

appreciate the support brother❤

Yup, sad how short Villas prime was because of Injury though 😭

​@@RaymarFootballhis prime was not short. He got at the right time to reach his peak

you have ball knowledge sir 🤝

Yeah it’s sad. If he was a player in current City he’s actually get the recognition he deserves. Casuals werent paying attention to City back then like they are now

you know ball sir 🫡

it’s not that great haha but I do try to make small improvements, much love for the support ❤️

Xavi Kroos Iniesta Modric In that order.

much love brother ❤️ truly means a lot, and that sounds interesting, I’ll definitely have to think of a way to do ut

The only order is Iniesta Xavi Kross Modric

@@IamDonRoyal Ain't no way Iniesta comes ahead of Xavi, ain't no way. Xavi literally had the best peak of any midfielder in the 21st century.. his 08-12 span was magnificent... Scoring, assisting, creating, controlling games,big game performances, finished in the ballondor podium rightly so 3 times... Pre 08 which alot of people try to shade Xavi on, he was the more consistent & played player out of both.

the magician for a reason 🪄

they sleeping on his greatness for sure 😴

yup 🔥 a magician fr 🪄

he truly is 🪄

Robinho was wild 🤣

facts 🤝

respect 🤝

❤️❤️❤️

there’s a reason they called him the magician 🪄

A CERTIFIED G FOR SURE 🫡

Dont forget a young Mata! If they were all in their primes they def could have taken some from barca and madrid

​@@RaymarFootball Ah yes! How could I forget! Mata was Silva's replacement in the playmaker role when he was sold. Now that I think of it, Silva replaced Aimar, one of my favourite playmakers. Three great playmakers passing the torch over the years, Valencia were lucky to have them behind one of the most lethal strikers ever in Villa. Again, should've won more with that forward line, but then again, I guess that's why they always say; defense wins you trophies. If only they could have added quality to play alongside Canizares and Ayala because they were pretty good defensively, if I remember correctly.

would have loved to see him there too tbh, would have gotten more respect than he does now

They were legendary. 🔥

much love brother ❤️ really appreciate all the love and support

Pure ballers 🔥

they were too OP 😂

💪🏾

I have to 🫡 🧊

Yup, with more trophies they would have been so much more respected by casuals

true ball knowledge sir 🤝

lack of PR, lowkey personality, early Man City days, etc

I’ll have to add it to the list bro 🫡

Same here...my personal best player ever....id choose him over cr7 or messi aswell...just an unpopular opinion!!

the magician for a reason 🪄

the magician 🪄

it was too OP 😂

Cazorla too

Thanks for mentioning that bro 😂 probably the only comment I seen about it

My poor Walker😢😢 He wanted to be respectful towards Kevin... I don't blame him. It s hard to choose between him n silva

But I d take Kevin 💯💯💯He can also defend, unlike silva and can score some goals from distance right? Silva was more " magic " but kdb is kdb for me.

a magical baller 🪄

I need so for sure 🫡

@@RaymarFootball thanksssss 🔥

he deserves a video too

the poll I did shows most people don’t recognize how good he was 😶

I have to 🫡

shame he had such strong opposition back then. Would have been so easy had he played with City now in his prime.

interesting 🤣

perfectly said brother

youre right brother, but I think Xabi Alonso gets talked about much more than Silva

very good point

I was thinking of actually hehe

🤣🤣🤣

One of their most important players for sure

Good point brother, but KDB does do best with another build up play mid and a strong finisher. He’s on his way to being PL greatest midfielder though thats for sure!

true😂 but that was so weird to watch

true I need to talk about him too 🫡

yeah its a shame. if he was playing in Man City of today hed get more recognition for sure

his highlights are insane, go check them out!

I have to 🫡

😂 yeah, KDB is on his way but it should have been a lot closer. Just proves how underrated Silva is
