    A lot of how his passes work so well is that once midfielders like him and strikers play together for a while, they end up both getting such a good idea of when and where the pass needs to go that kdb can send it and more often than not a striker will have put himself in a good spot to pick it out. that dual awareness of what his teammates should be, and therefore will be doing, paired with his insanely good execution, is how it ends up working so often despite him not always actually looking

    Coming from a sane "I love football" fan, I can assure you that yes De Bruyne is actually accurate with his passes over 90% of the time and yes he is the best player in the world right now. I've only ever seen one player like him in the history of Football and that's Zinedine Zidane who is my second best player of all time. KDB doesn't waste touches and while he's no Zissou in my book yet...he's something spectacular!

    There's a term in football 'put it on a plate' and it refers to the ball being passed so perfectly to a player in the box who can now score a really easy goal.... De Bruyne puts it on a plate consistently and can do it from places most can't

    One other thing that people who don't play the sport won't appreciate is that he is hitting both passes and long shots very well, not only with his right foot, but also with his left as well. The next time you kick a ball, try to do a shot or pass with the foot that you naturally use, then try to do the same thing with your weaker foot that you don't normally use. Then you will understand what I am talking about. It's kind of analogous to being able to write or throw just as well with both your right hand and your left. Very few people can do this.

    The drama with him is because of the recent elimination of Belgium in the WC. It was very disappointig since this team finished 3rd in the WC of 2018. There isn't a good ambiance in the team and KDB is criticized by the belgian media and people for his negativity since he didnt even believe they could win the tournament and as he has a not a very good attitude on the pitch with Belgium. It feels like he don't really care.

  • @kianolner3818
    @kianolner3818 ปีที่แล้ว +19

    You mentioned how he should have many more assists. Well that has been sorted out this season. Manchester City sold Raheem Sterling and Gabriel Jesus, two very good players, but not on the level of Erling Haaland who replaced them two. He’s the best finisher in the world, thanked by his unbelievable positioning. He knows where and when the crosses will arrive and he’ll find himself waiting to tap home. Some people criticise him for that. But when I look at the amount of similar chances Sterling and Jesus had and missed, I can only praise him. He’s got 18 goals in 13 premier league games and 5 goals in 4 champions league games. Last season De Bruyne got 8 assists in 30 PL games, this season he’s already got 9 in 14. The best playmaker in the world + the best finisher in the world = a cheat code.
    Edit: the only player that I think challenges him for best finisher in the world is Mo Salah of Liverpool, the biased side of me wants to say Salah is better but this season his finishing hasn’t been as amazing as it has the last 5. Them are another two players I’d react to. Mo Salah - one season wonder (the name pokes fun at the people that labelled him that). And any Erling Haaland goal compilation will show you what I meant by his unbelievable positioning.

    I wouldn't say that there is an element of luck, moreso practice. It may look like luck, but consider the fact that they train with each other every day for years, to the highest level and are at the pinnacle of the sport. So KDB can continually play passes into goalscoring areas, where he knows his teammates will be. Simply all he has to do is rely on them getting to that point to finish it off. You probably won't ever find videos of ALMOST passes, but there are many examples of greta passes that were unfortunately not completed becasue the teammates miss/don't get into the right space to receive it.
    ALSO, i recommend trying to attempt an outside foot pass when you play football next week like you mentioned. I noticed that you don't really distinguish the difference between an inside and outside foot pass/shot. Try it when you play, and you will realise just how insane some of these passes are as you realise they're doing it with the outside of their boot.
    keep up the videos man :)

  • @thedeadgame07
    @thedeadgame07 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    5:50 there's always an element of luck but mostly practice. And elite players don't look at their teammates when they make the passes. They look when their guys start the run, then they look down and pass it to the correct space (all practice here). If you keep looking too many times (unless you intentionally fake that look), you lose the surprise element. If a team is really well-drilled, everyone will know where to position and where to run. Then you need someone like KDB to see the run, see the space and make good passes to that space.

  • @jhonatannmercado7902
    @jhonatannmercado7902 ปีที่แล้ว +33

    the curve not depends on where do you hit the ball, it depends on which part of the foot you hit the ball with. you need to hit with the internal part of you foot to get that effect, its quite easy to learn how to do it, the impressive thing about KDB is the vision and accuracy when he is doing it

    • @Sebas-gb6if
      @Sebas-gb6if ปีที่แล้ว +4

      The other way is with the 3 fingers from the outside of your foot, you have to angle your foot in a certain way and hit the ball on the side opposite to where you want it to curve towards to. It is difficult tho but can give a stronger curve for passes like kdb’s

    • @Kyokahnn
      @Kyokahnn ปีที่แล้ว +3

  • @freeverse4304
    @freeverse4304 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Attacking mid/central mid is his position. He scores a lot because he might have the best technique in the world when it comes to long shots. He really just has world class ball skills in general, but long passes and long shots are where he is possibly number 1 right now. It also helps that both of his legs are cannons.

    He doesn't look when he passes because he even said he always knows what runs his teammates make that how good of a chemistry he has with them
    And with the curve passes that is a technique where you generate side spin on the ball causing it to move in a curved fashion

  • @hartshaped
    @hartshaped ปีที่แล้ว +4

    To curve a ball you generally have to catch the ball on it’s side and put spin on it. It’s much easier to do it accurately with the inside of the boot than the outside.
    What anyone that has played football will understand and appreciate probably more than anything else in the passes is the timing and getting the weight of the pass just right

  • @dogcatdogable
    @dogcatdogable ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Football is a fluid sport, so 'perfect' passes/crosses are a convergence of one player putting the ball in the right area and the other making the right run. DeBruyne has incredible ball striking but he also benefits from the automatisms of Pep's system.

    Curving the ball has lots to do with what spot you hit the ball to put a spin on it, like in billiards or snooker. The key is to hit the ball off center, to right or left based on your foot. And which part of foot is also important.

    You mention that he often doesn't look to see where the player he's passing to are. Basically that's just because he knows what areas to aim at to cause maximum disruption to the defense. And strikers love playing alongside a player like KDB because they know if they get themselves in those areas then they'll have loads of goalscoring opportunities.
    So the strikers will always bust a gut to get into those areas, and De Bruyne is crossing just expecting a player to be there. If he waited a second to look up and see the striker, then the chance would probably already have passed them by.
    It's one of those traits of a well coached and confident team.

  • @etme1000
    @etme1000 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    It's about team play. When a team truly becomes a team, you instinctively know where your other teammates are, or should be, even without looking - and they know where they should , also instinctively - and based on playing together for a good while. I remember once, I just looked at one of my teammates, who was at the other end, and on the other side, of the field, and once our eyes met, he started running, and I passed it to him "in advance", so that the ball fell 20 meters away, but just where he ended up after he started running. We never talked, we never practiced this, but we understood each other - he knew me, and I knew what he would do / or had to do.
    This is why I would recommend this video of team plays, which illustrates what I am talking about - sort of under the microscope /watch?v=1o8C8n4XUwU

    DeBruyne is one of those players that can easily be passed over... and often is when talking about the very best current players of the game! That sublime ability to reach and exceed expectations at the top tier of world football is personified in Kevin DeBruyne! He is an astonishingly gifted player who has never rested on talent alone either... his elite athletic level is more than obvious whilst his technical genius can often astound everyone across the football watching world! Amazing football player!
    You also noticed how powerful his striking of the ball is... combined with his almost unbelievable ability to place that ball exactly where, when & how he likes is often too brilliant to fully absorb Luke... astonishing abilities even for some of his team mates by the looks of it! Simply too precise to anticipate! 'Not a selfish bone in his body' either.... as they like to say! He can and often is a game winning player!
    This is isn't 'Art' this is 'Technical Drawing'... we need to be a little more precise regarding the brilliance of Kevin DeBruyne!
    Like the way you spot all this early on Luke... watching, as in not taking your eyes off... DeBruyne all the way through a game is highly recommended... especially with your in-built 'coaching eyes' Having probably tried curving and bending your passes you will now know just how ridiculoulsy difficult it is to perfect! Crack on Luke... I missed this one!

    he is trying to put the crosses behind and between the defenders, but in front of the goal keeper. The striker is moving in the area between the defenders. Due to the offside rule, curving the ball is important in order in order to for the striker to get to the ball. His passing accuracy is around 80%. The further back you are, the higher you passing accuracy usually is. So a central defender is like 90%, then midfield like 80% and forward like 70%. That does not mean defenders are better at passing the ball. More often than not, the midfield players are the best passers. The difference is what kind of passes. Players like DeBruyne, Messi, Thiago, Ødegaard, Pogba and Kanté are some of the best passers in the world.

    Like a quarterback but with feet - left and right!
    To curve the ball you need to hit it on the right spot with the right force but the thing is, that spot and force changes depending on the distance the ball needs to travel and the medium it needs to travel on (air or grass). You also need to compensate for wind and density/humidity of the pitch.
    There’s no American sport that requires the same level of sheer skill, coordination, speed and endurance in my opinion:
    - You need Track & Field levels of sprinting speed.
    - The balance and strength of a gymnast.
    - the coordination skills of a circus juggler.
    - the endurance of a triathlete. The average pro player runs 90 minutes non stop with just a 15 minute break at half time and covers an average of 7 miles of running per game,
    It’s great to see Americans finally understanding football.

    Unpopular opinion: If you are gravitating towards passing abilities, I would love for you to watch Mesut Özil. He has been one of the best traditional number 10 who just couldn't adapt to the modern game.

    Yea, KDB is one of the most valuable player nowadays. You were mentioning, whether it is luck or done on purpose to place the ball right where the striker is.
    It's not. A player who takes the cross usually puts it in an open zone, and a striker's job is to be there to finish it. That's it. On the highest level of football these things are done instinctively.
    The other thing is accuracy of your passes or shooting. That's just thousands of hours of practice. Curves or stuff become second nature when you work with the ball thatuch time. That's from personal experience.

  • @sqorksey862
    @sqorksey862 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    It's even harder than it looks because he knows where he teammate is and his teammates know he wants to play it. When they make the run KDB puts it in the space where he thinks they will end up in miliseconds. Most miss but when they come off they are insane

    De Bruyne is the perfect modern playmaker, unmatched vision and passing range, incredible shooting technique and power, strong mentality and football iq, and on top of all that he never stops running, fantastic defensive work rate for an attacking midfielder, he can do everything.
    This is important, because most "classic" playmakers offered very little defensively, they were responsible for creativity and attacking so that's all they did, leaving other players to pick up their defensive slack. This led to the role falling out of favor, as most modern teams want every player on the field to press and contribute defensively. De Bruyne has shown that it is possible to do all of that running and defending whilst still being one of the most creative geniuses the game has ever seen. An incredibly complete skillset, and a player who I think will be recognized as the Premier League's best ever midfielder by the time he retires.

    KDB is a master AM, not many work as he does. I'd argue Bruno from Manchester United whilst his style is different is equally as good as KDB considering the team Bruno has had to play in. he is slightly an anomaly that he peaked slightly late.

  • @manabuhorikita969
    @manabuhorikita969 ปีที่แล้ว

    debruyne is an amazing player however he is quite inconsistent...
    At his best he is one of the greatest mildfielder that ever lived at his worst he doesn't exists. In a season usually I think he is great for only half of it at best.
    I think that is why he is a kind of controversial player for half the matches you think :"He could do so much more"
    But I don't follow him that much so I might be wrong I just hear that often when city plays psg

  • @brunovictor505
    @brunovictor505 ปีที่แล้ว

    You are looking for a lot of the best attacking plays and players, but since you look like you watch the game, you should react to what some of the best defending looks like, maybe see some defense compilations, or even the best saves of some goalkeppers like Buffon or manuel neuer. You will surely enjoy it

    Hey man, i have been a football fan my whole life and i love to how you’re trying to understand the sport but you should watch: where ultras were first forged: AC Milan’s Curva Sud. This is a really good video for you to understand some of the fans cultures

  • @chrisellis3797
    @chrisellis3797 ปีที่แล้ว

    The most basic and easy to describe curving the ball is... you hit it off centre. You can also when doing that strike your foot across that area to exagerrate that curve.
    You're baseball analogy was pretty much it. Basketball, I bet you already know how to flip it out of both hands so it back spins to you. Pool back spin is similar, hit white ball low down and you're making it rotate towards you even though it's hit forward. As soon as it contacts another ball it returns to you

  • @rudy_4ier

  • @alexandremota39
    @alexandremota39 ปีที่แล้ว

    If you never kicked a ball before, it will most likely spin and curve on your first attempt. Making the ball curve is way easier than you think. The hard thing is hit the target. Even if you practice and become a master on controlling the ball trajectory, the passing skill is not all about it. The hardest thing is having the vision, the perception, the intelligence, the fast thinking, speed, strength and stamina to be accurate the whole game. This game is much more about the intelligence than people realize.

    The thing is, KDB is famous for his extreme accuracy in long range and awareness of the pitch and where all other players are.
    He is basically the master at passes. His level of perfectly measured curves and accurate speeds are actually not Normal. And that's why he is considered as the best mid fielder in current world football

    @romanoonamor7690 ปีที่แล้ว

    De Bruyne isn't much of a compilation player. Compilations work well with skills and things like that. De Bruyne is just a metronome. A wonder of a midfielder who can find the craziest passes and has an insane vision. And he can shoot and score as well.

    KDB is a top player love that you reacted to him, there is a bunch of other interesting people depending on their role on the pitch some are flashier than others. usually offensive players get more recognition rather than defensive players but a really good defense is someone you cannot ignore at all times while attacking like in recent years as virgil van dyjk, ruben dias or my favorite defensive player of all time as an AC Milan fan Gennaro Gattuso was really rough as a defensive midfielder, no class at all but did the job well.. cheers mate, enjoyed the reactions.

    I don't think there's anyone in the world who strikes the ball with better technique. Maybe Messi. KdB also can see a pass that no-one else even realises is on, and then execute. He's the best attacking midfielder in the world.

    He's crossing the ball into what some people call 'The Corridor of Uncertainty", which is the area in front of the goalkeeper and behind the defence where neither know for sure whether it is their job to claim or clear the ball.
