Santi Cazorla also got more caps for Spain while at Villareal after leaving Arsenal, right? He scored as well? Always a legend.
Didn’t actually know that, what a boss.
Has less to do with himself and more to do with a certain group of players retiring from Spain (Xavi, Iniesta, Alonso, Silva, Fabregas). There simply was no space for Cazorla in Spain's first XI between 2008 and 2016.
@@daarom3472 Shit, there wasnt room for Fabregas or Silva. How you gonna compete with the greatest club team of all time's midfield-three?
he scored aswel scored bru hwhat 1 goal
@@minnumseerrund Silva often played on the wing, but yea didnt play all. Btw in 2008 Marcos Senna was a starter in that midfield as well. And then there was Mata as a sub, who was generally rated above Cazorla.
David Moyes as a coach can be considered as he is doing some good work with West ham.
Same with Ancelotti
Moyes was always a good manager, the idiots in the British sport media just kicked him down since they enjoyed cutting Manchester United down
@@RubenCambra
No, the noise Moyes makes when he climaxes is an amazing shout.
YES. Thank you for including the man with the greatest name in football. The story of Junior Messias is one for the ages
Some time ago, I made a video on Junior Messias' story, and his story is an incredible one. From a delivery boy at 25, to scoring in Champions League for Milan, to being a Serie at 30. Brilliant video, as always ⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽
🔥🔥
i remember when he scored against Atletico. What a guy
Junior deserved all the money he is getting now. Imagine a boy from brazil that failed to get a contract most would have been depressed and might have join gangs or any other brazillian mafias but he went to italy even without a visa and made it work.
Day 24 - The Fall and Rise of FK Velež Mostar
From a Club that has beaten Borussia Dortmund, Twente, Derby County and many others to a club that was forced from their own stadium, reduced to nothing during the Bosnian War, becoming a mediocre top-level team in the 00s to nearly being forced into folding in 2016 to its amazing comeback to European competitions in 2021 seeing the early exit of Greek giants AEK Athens in a sensational win in Athens!
keep at it ! :)
I'm delighted that Cazorla fully recovered from his injury, but it's still heartbreaking that he never got to say goodbye properly to Arsenal fans.
You should talk about Alessandro Del Piero, too.
The best Juventus player ever had two redemption arcs.
He was one of the best footballers of the World in the ‘90s, but in 1998 he suffered a terrible injury and stayed off the pitch for several months; then he won two consecutive Serie A with Juventus.
He won the World Cup and, if that wasn’t enough, remained in the Juventus squad after they were relegated to Serie B in 2006; from that, Captain Del Piero brought the team to winning the league in 2012. Truly a marvellous story!
that’s not really an arc that’s bad luck and his team being dodgy
Fun fact #8:Eric Cantona scored the first hat-trick in the Premier League era.
I find it impressive that Cazorla managed 81 caps in arguably the most competitive Spanish midfield ever. Very underrated
I like it when he shows hoever's Jersey instead of however
One of my favorite bits as well
Without further Adu
Eddie Howe
Wright
Thank you for including Redmayne. As an Australian, it's great to see us get a mention in your videos every once in a while.
As a Wanderers fan, when he swapped clubs to our arch rivals Sydney FC, I thought at the time we were the real winners. Hindsight is a funny thing. The GK we did the swap deal with - Vedran Janjetović - has just been released by the Wanderers and hasn't played a game in years.
I thought Redmayne being picked in the squad for the World Cup qualifiers was a bit of a joke, however. He wasn't even the best GK in the A-League season just gone. Hats off to him though, he proved everyone wrong. Once of the best redemption arcs I've seen in sport.
A detailed look at the state of Crotone would be nice, going from Serie A in 20/21 with a 20 goal a season striker to Serie C by 22/23. Two relegations in a row, something surely has to be wrong at that club.
It was mentioned in passing but the career of Don Revie would be video worthy. Between remaking Leeds United, a variety of superstitions, falling out with the last players of the 1966 World Cup and responding to a failure to qualify for the 1978 World Cup by walking out on England to take the job as manager of the United Arab Emirates, it was quite something
a documentary on the afc Wimbledon on the nine promotions in eleven years, how they’re a fan own club and how they have a stadium in plough lane now.
The story of they lost the club, how the F A allowed that and won’t allow that anymore.
How they were very close to moving to ireland
How they went up the English football leagues.
It would be a good documentary video if you can do this. #thepeopleschannel
How many times have you posted this?
You keep getting my vote on this. Ignore the negativity, I think it's a great idea ❤️ I'm a Chelsea girl, but I've a soft spot for Wimbledon x
@@caesar-dynastysports i don’t spam him, i hope he can do it soon
I asked about a video on the corruption in the FAI for a year but in the end Alfie did make the video! Keep going it will happen
@@michaelmearney5721 it was good, detailed about that for the viewers who wasn’t from England
Greatest peaks/primes of any player in history. PLS DO THIS ALFIE!!!
Great ideia
'He was indicted in a match-fixing scandal which rocked the Italian game' - why would match-fixing rock the Italian game? The Italian game is built on it...
Great Upload as always and hopefully more to come ….
How about footballers who rose through all the divisions to make it to the top Jamie Vardy is a notable example but are there many others.
Im pretty sure he made that video.
Kante
@@mrbluesky853 he kan
He didn't go through all the divisions he skipped from non-league to championship
Vardy is a late bloomer
With Jack Wilshire's retirement confirmed, Perhaps A "7 best players to have their careers blighted by injury" list?
Could definitely have a 2 part to that too
Indeed,I have been enjoying the redemption arcs in the sport for both the parts including this one,good friends!!!:-D
Had missed part 1 for some reason (thanks youtube notifications!) both videos superb as always,
And just a few moments ago(on the day this video went up) Messias just signed for Milan properly, for a 4 million € fee.... as a Milan fan I can say I am delighted to have this man at my club, what a hero❤️🖤❤️🖤
Can’t believe you didn’t include Jamie vardy in this episode too
Dis you even watch the video...
Not a redemption arc as he started at the bottom and has steadily worked his way up (also pointed out in the previous video)
He literally started with why Jamie Vardy wouldn't be picked, for the 2nd time
Think this is my favourite one ever so nice to see great work Alfie ☺️
Melt
Just kidding you’re a legend Alfie
I really enjoy that you actually put it some very unknown stories too. Still a melt though ;)
“I just get called a melt”😂
Great video mate
If ever there was a downer of a video to compliment the uplifting nature of this one, "7 footballing fairytails that fell with the last hurdle" could be interesting (I'm thinking England loosing to Italy on penalties but there are undoubtably more interesting tales you may regale us with)
It would be a great one to look into.. like Bayer Leverkusen in 01/02.. chance to do the treble, lost on the final day, lost in the final of the cup, and lost in the final of the CL too!
Also, very very good of you to mention his brilliant consistency!
For me one sad one is Ghana's 2010 WC run which was arguably ended by cheating from luis suarez
Middlesbrough getting to the final of the UEFA cup, beating the likes of Lazio and Roma and a couple of last gasp winners only to get absolutely battered 4-0 against Sevilla in the final.
10:27 Ibra's face 🤣🤣🤣
Was great to see some Aussie representation with Andrew Redmayne. Can say that there were many Australians who thought we were doomed when the sub was made. Saved under fire Graham Arnold's job, whether or not one decision to make the sub should is another matter.
That 1982 World Cup Italian Shirt is a classic and a football icon...
You melt Alfie!!! Lol, good video
I won’t call you a melt. You’re amazing
Tbf with this weather, we're all melts atm
Thanks!
You are forgiven! Forgiven for all those times you put Andy F'ing Robertson on a pedestal. Peter Reid was a brilliant player, great manager and wonderful human being.
Carthola? WHAT A MELT!!!
I loved that you tried to get carzola’s name right!
Do a video about the extraordinary rise of AC Monza to Serie A! Been a while since you did a video about an Italian club
Just turned on notisfications and subbed because you put the Goat Andrew Redymayne in Australia🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Sweet Jesus Cantona's unibrow is legendary
Thanks
Laughed more than I should have at the hoever-joke
Waiting for the 3rd video.
Ironic as I seem to remember watching the Wanderers on New Years Day 1979 against Everton and where Reidy suffered a serious knee injury that kept him out for over a year, once back and performing again, Everton signed him.
I would also like to add Louis van Gaal to this list. Failed to qualify for the WC 2002 with a golden generation of players including: Van Der Sar, Stam, Seedorf, Davids, Bergkamp, Overmars, Van Nistelrooy, Kluivert, among others. In 2014 he managed to finish 3rd with a very mediocre Dutch team.
Paolo Rossi is indeed a gem of an inclusion!
Unfortunately, right after the World Cup triumph in 1982 (which is approaching its 40th anniversary, by the way) he was struck by injuries and declined pretty quickly, but still, his story is one of the best ones Italian football could ever offer, hands down.
Rip Paolo Rossi
Native Spanish speaker here, the "z" in Spanish is a letter with an official pronunciation closely resembling what you were doing, however that pronunciation is rarely used in Latin America, as we often don't differentiate between the s, z, and soft c in spoken Spanish, so the English pronunciation of cazorla outside of the softer r isn't that far off from the pronunciation used in countries from Latin America
As a Polish person I feel personally offended that you pronounced Cazorla Spanishly yet Wojciech Szczęsny was made into Łojcziech Czezni or whatever it is you called him
No worries he butchered it still. Said CaRzola instead of CazoRla
Please do a redemption arc for clubs as well! Rangers would be there for sure!
Redmayne is one of my favourite players to watch at Sydney Fc my team
Can you do the rise of Middlesbrough after nearly falling into Liquidation in 1986 before winning the Carling Cup and reaching the Europea League final
Day 52: Considering that the last player who played in the miracle of Bern died about 7 months ago, I would really like to see a video about the whole story between Germany and Hungary, especially because it meant so much to at least the German population
please can you do a part two of a derby county documentary because so much has happened since the last one
Troy Deeney should be on here due to his arrest and time in jail to going onto become a Watford legend, helping get them into the premier league and FA Cup final, as well as scoring one of the most iconic goals in recent memory
It was confirmed that Messias has renewed 😄
Video idea: 7 Greatest Redemption Arcs (football club Edition)
Eg. Rangers, AC Milan
I knew Cazorla had a bad injury but I had no idea he got gangrene on his ankle, makes me respect him more
Please make video of 7 unlucky plàyers in football the like of chalanoglu ballack keylor navas and many more
didnt knew an arch was upside down :o). arch de triumph is a skateramp.
As a Gooner, Carzola's injuries were the biggest bummer in the time I followed them. Even worse than the Ozil saga, IMO, cuz it was just random shittiness happening to a good playr who always gave his all
Completely butchered Santi's name 😂. His name is Cazorla, pronounced Ca-TH- or-la not Car-th-oh-la. I have no idea why English people always misplace the R in his name. It's right there in the spelling. Listen to Balague pronounce it.
Match of the Day commentators always pronounced it correctly with the R sounded, and I do :)
that pronunciation of Cazorla is only applicable to Spain, in Latin American Spanish the z is pronounced the same as in English
Cazorla is from Spain and not Latin America though.
@@mastilozdravljedamjanovic i know, just informing
For those wondering, Messias was indeed signed on a permanent deal to AC Milan👍
Had no idea Cazorla went through that, glad he made it back on the pitch
Seeing the scar on Cazorlas arm 😔😔
Messias just got permanently signed literally today
I will say it. Make a video on Cartagines in Costa Rica winning their first cup after 81 years and the amazing background of this ocassion
Re: Santi Cazorla, you would probably have a better time pronouncing his name if you double check the spelling - I think you have the R in the wrong place 😄.
Love the videos, keep up the good work.
Lord Origi could also be a good shout.... Before that 2019 UCL szn, if someone said to me that ac milan and other top clubs are trying to sign origi, I would have died of laughter. Now he is replacing Zlatan in AC Milan who just won scudetto
He's not replacing Zlatan, Zlatan barely even played this season.
Let's hope you can include Eden Hazard in a part 3!
Arc in progress hopefully!! 🙏🙏
He is arcing...just outwards, like the Pilsbury Doughboy 😂
@@Goat-wh1qw 😂😂😂
Why would he include him?
@@mastilozdravljedamjanovic if he deserves to be included, say, when he gets back to his old form and is important to Real Madrid and/or Belgium in the next few years, why shouldn't he?
You Melt!
Ashamed to admit I giggled at every however/Hoever
Inculde Ivan Klasnić in some of your videos(if you havent allready) his story is one of a kind
I think the the pronunciation of Docherty has been more hotly debated In your comments section Alfie.
How hard is it get into football journalism and how did you start out doing?
I got a suggestion for you Anthony Modeste: just scored 20 goals for Cologne after being in bad form for 4 seasons
I'd like to see Nottingham Forest and their current redemption arc.
I would argue David Beckham has a shout for a redemption arc- at least for united fans
Who’s that on the left at 13:38? Looks like Rob Damiani 😂
In Spain it’s pronounced Cathorla, not Carthola
You melt, it’s “Santi Ca-thor-La”
Has anyone counted the times “however” was said? Or should I watch this again
8:20 There's no national 7th tier of Brazilian football, we only have 4 national divisions and the state championships, i'm quite curious to understand what you meant by that
Well just for the purposes of the video…… you’re a melt 😂 great work Alfie
I like how AC Milan bought Messias right after this video came out
@Turnips yes, they deposited the contract a couple of hours ago
Guys, a redemption arc in football is not as simple as good form → bad form → good form again....
The "Cazorla" pronunciation you said is used only in Spain
In any other Spanish speaker country, people say the same as in England 👌
What is the difference between Junior Messias and Vardy then?
Let's get the redmayne thing straight, firstly it was one save and a missed shot that hit and upright and should have been retaken as redmayne was off his line.
Secondly the only reason he is in the squad and has gotten any caps is coz his form club boss is now boss of the national team and the fact redmayne is selected and also we had to go to the play-offs shows how shite he is, the fact he bought redmayne on wasn't even his idea it was something he picked up from guus hiddink when he was his assistant in 2005 for the national team.
Back to redmayne even now after his "heroics" as many if not more aussie fans still don't rate and/orike the guy (well at least in my circle of football friends/associates etc)
No dog in the fight, but I thought Redmayne's antics were beyond the pale and have no business at this level of football. And the save was your basic "guessed right and smothered a poorly taken PK."
Well, exactly today Messias signed a permanent contract with AC Milan.
Where is Puskás? He's got one of the most famous redemption arcs :)
Day 3: Uruguay's starting XI that won the first World Cup in 1930: Where are they now?
All dead. You're welcome
That's probably a joke, but in any case you have your answer in the comment above.
@@soundscape26 this is a suggestion for a very short video in case Alfie ever wants to take a week off for once in his life
@@h3omm431 Makes sense... I wish you good luck on your quest.
The first one hurts all Brazilian people that knows the history of the 82 wc
How did you not put Jaime vardy
Warra world cup appearance for eric cantona
Benzema without a shadow of a doubt.
Keith Gillespie also deserves a spot imo.
"Hoever" 😂😂😂
Hoever!!
why do you keep showing hooever shirt?
