Day 23 : Can you do a video on why French Clubs have not been as successful historically ? I know you have defended Ligue 1 in the past , but only 1 UCL for French clubs is really underwhelming for a country like France . Especially when you consider that Dutch clubs have won 6 UCL ' s and Portuguese clubs have won 4 UCLs
An idea for a potential series for you that me and a friend have been discussing: Who would have the best national teams, if the national team had to consist of players that play in their homeland?
There was an interview with Oscar. He mentioned he knew he left europe too early. But he did it to have good financial security. He wanted his whole extended family to be living in comfort. And with football, he stated you never know when you will not be wanted by a club or have to retire early with injury etc etc. So he stated he wanted the money for future stability even at the cost of his football career.
Here in Brazil, we think of Oscar as a dude who could have been much bigger. However, I don't judge the dude. Even if he decides to leave China now, he would still have a first team spot in any club of the Brazilian premier league.
Day 26: "Final Yugoslavia First League Teams: Where are they now?" would be interesting with Red Star winning the 90s CL but then falling from grace as a lot of teams in the region.
I know I am very late to this but a player who pretty much literally disappeared is Ylli Sallahi He‘s an Austrian player who came through the Bayern academy and afterwards went on to play for Karlsruhe in the 2. Bundesliga (and also got regular game time there) but after the 2016/17 season, when he was still just 24, he didn‘t get a new contract and since then there have been no news around him, he really just disappeared
Video idea: make the best team made up of only players born from a certain month e.g. January XI. This could either be present players or past and present players, including either a current or past and present manager. You could make this a mini series and maybe even put them in a little cup competition at the end and predict which team would come out on top
Video idea: One thing you would do to each club's squad. I.E transfer, dropping someone or changing formation. Keep up the brilliant work I love your vids. Best wishes from Croatia
Clyne didn't go back to Palace on loan. He went to Bournemouth and got injured pretty much straight away. He then returned to liverpool for a season then got released, re-joining palace.
Jackson Martinez was crucial in Porto's league win last season, he shot the ball to the sky when taking the penalty against porto while playing for portimonense :)))))))))))
Would like a video on most underrated players of the prem era players such as chicharito, ivanovic, carrick and kuyt among others stand out to me as top quality players who could do their job well and consistently and always appeared when they was needed most but never got the respect they deserved. I would like to see some respect on their names and finally get treated like the world class players they were instead of mediocre to good players.
I wanted to include players for varying reasons. Adam Johnson. So some serious injuries you can't see but always needs a well padded cushion to sit down and has a fear of driving over pot holes and speed bumps
I think Costa Rican international and once World Cup protagonists Joel Campbell and Marcos Ureña could be examples for a Part 2: the former one is now playing in Mexico, with León, while the latter has just joined Australian side Central Coast Mariners after an unlucky spell in South Korea with Gwangju.
I am a Sparta Prague fan, and I remember him well from the one year loan here (there was an option for buying him which the club didn't see fit to active). He was quick, much quicker than most, however, his football skills were nowhere to be found, he often tripped over the ball, crossed it in the middle of nowhere, or just plainly ran out of bounds with it.
Jackson Martinez was a beast , he was also really good in the Colombian National. If im correct he played in the 2014 world cup such a shame that he had that injury.
