These videos are incredible to watch. I love the fact that you do your best in analysing players with much less sensationalism than others. The context you provide like saying player x is mainly good because of a certain tactical role or because player y and z did this to allow x to do that help a lot in the understanding of why a player was great and why they were bad. It also brings up a lot of unsung heros from the past. Since you do videos on suggestion, I think George Best or Roberto Baggio would be great.
@@amodghising4845 That's a worthy come back bro. But Lothar was a Box to Box when he plaed against Diego and in Serie A. He was a DM before and after his peak. Frank, only got better in the postion and retired with the UCL against his old Milan. Movie ending ;)
Davids is a very one of a kind player. He coupled great ball handling technique with a drive that i've rarely seen. With this he was able to inspire his teammates to work even harder. It's no coincidence that he was at the base of great teams who achieved great things (Ajax, Juventus, Barcelona, Dutch national team). You are saying that he needed to be part of a succesfull team, but i think those teams were succesfull because of him. As for the pivot position, you should watch back that match against Madrid in Bernabeu or against Dortmund in the 1995/1996 season. I think these matches were the best he ever played.
@@pietjepuk5812 : Davids could carry a team by himself at a young age. His agressivenes, team player, inspiring, good pace, speed, tactical/technical skills, def/mid/att, makes him a very very tough opponent for every elite player, even now. When you have a player like him in a team, you know that you have a strategic beast in the squad, that can score, help defending, duels that needs to be won, eye for other players and never gives up.
It’s a tough one - Kante longevity wise hasn’t quite matched Davids but in his best form, I feel like his passing/ball winning and positional play is better. Deschamps is super underrated and Makelele is a icon of the CDM role. So yes I’d probably put those guys ahead but in the right set up Davids was a brilliant player too and could turn a good set up into an excellent one - whereas the other guys are more ‘spine’ and the glue - first brick in the building of a side.
Great video! Most of your analysis is spot on. Although i find it questionable for to say that Davids couldn't play as a pivot. Its true that Davids his mindset was more attacking en adventurous then his fellow "defensive midfielders. Players like Makelele, Deschamps and Dunga where actual protectors of their defense and gave strength to their midfield, rarely moving out position because of their tactical discipline. Davids was more a box to box type of midfielder like Vieira and Keane. Great going forward and back. Being able to influence both attack with their energy, skills and determination and being a major defensive presence with their strength, aggression and stamina. Comparing him with midfielders like Redondo isnt really fair because Redondo is more like a playmaker who often played as a cm rather then a cdm which he became later in his career. Redondo should be compared with players like Pirlo, Guardiola and Busquets, while Davids should be compared with Keane and Vieira.
New sub here from 🇨🇦. Enjoying your channel PiB.👍your vids are always insightful! A lot of ground to cover when it comes to box-to-box and holding MFs, I know, but it'd be great if you'd actually dive into the analytics and stats, to enrich and support your analysis and grades you give players. Also, a video on Matthäus and 1 for Makelélé would be gold to showcase the different styles of CDMs and the evolution of the role. Arguably, the best of the best of the modern era with Rijkaard in the mix.

Please do a Rijkaard one! The greatest defensive midfielder of all time.
Been contemplating this one - will need some research!
I believe makelélé is the best defensive midfielder of all time.
@@firas_13 Claude was good, but Vieira, Rijkaard, Keane, Redondo, Mattaus etc etc.....all better bro
Matthäus!!!! Even Maradona feared playing against him…..

Quality content, I would love to see more of old players breakdown. Do Baggio next plz.
Your channel is brilliant. Would love to an analysis of Manuel Rui Costa some time.
You have to keep doing both the new players and old players. This is very insightful and help us learn about the old players.
Classics will be returning sooner than you think!
Would love to see a player analysis on Seedorf. Seems to constantly be overlooked by Netherlands even though he was so successful at club level.
He was fantastic player
Glad I came across this channel even though it was purely by accident. Your analysis are truly spectacular. Thanks.
Cheers Dorf ❤️

Let me know if you have any suggestions for future videos!
In the army they are not called goggles, they're called sliding glass doors. I'm just kidding. Dominant player. I'm just kidding. Outstanding player.
You’re one of the most underrated football channels. Do you rate Deschamps, Kante and Makelele higher than Davids?

That Ajax team was crazy talented WOW. A lot of quality players.
Yep a who’s who roster
Fantastic video. What a player Davids was iconic look. Would love to get a video on those 90s LVG Ajax teams they were so young and gifted won it all
Shame they got broken up so early - never really saw the fell potential of what that team could have achieved.

Amazing report thanks . Waiting for Seedorf report he has an amazing journey between teams and positions 👍🏼
Yep that will take a fair amount of time to produce!
FIFA 2003 legend
That Fifa front cover was iconic!
Great video. Calling Conte 'agricultural' is a bit of a disservice to his footballing ability, imo, but I can see why you use the term.
Glad to be able to watch this super video again
You deserve more subscribers. I'm binge watching some of your vids now, I have liked and subscribed for the youtube algorithm to feature your page :)
Appreciate it bro ❤️
Is this a re-upload? Or am experiencing a De Ja Vu? Great video as always.
Got removed - so had to edit out some footage. Let’s see how long this lasts...
