    Aged like the finest of fine wines. Turns 38 this year and is still one of the best midfielders in the world. The only player to stop the Messi and Ronaldo ballon D’or dominance of 2008-2021. Extremely humble, not a traditional galactico, keeps himself to himself. Legend doesn’t begin to describe him.

    He had a really difficult childhood growing up in times of continuous wars in his land, fortunately his love for soccer distracted him from that harsh reality and the results are in sight, a great great playmaker and it seems that he is also a great person, i remember In the semifinals of the World Cup, the Argentine public applauded him massively when he was replaced. There are hardly any greater displays of respect than that!

    Actually, in 2018 he won Ballon d'Or but was not his best year. He won cuz Croatia did superwell in worldcup and he was a big part of that sucess... The best year 100% was 2021/22 for Modric, He was by far the best player in there, together with Benzema (they won UCL). But, bcause he didnt got manny sucess as in previous years, ppl think that in 18 was his best year individually, but thats not true, at all.

    Finally someone who knows what hes talking about...Greatest strength of LM is that he is all around the field, he can dribble, he can defend, pass, assist, change the tempo of the game on a whim and when is most necessary he scores. One of the greatest midfielders of all time without a doubt, a living legend at the biggest club in the world.

    You should react to "Real Madrid's Greatest Attack Ever" it's a video from their 2011-12 season where they scored a whipping 121 goals !!! The most ever in modern football, only second to Torino's 125 goals in 1947-48 (they played way more games). Total pleasure and entrainment, you should give it a watch.
    P.S : this team proved that the legendary Tiki Takka Barcelona was vulnerable.

      So I wouldn't disagree with Zidane/Ronaldo, Zlatan did freak goals in general not so much long rangers, Bales limited career puts him out of the conversation **even though he still would be recognized by outsiders** and finally putting Pogba in the same bracket as Stevie is just slanderous, could say the same for Toure but I love the man so I decline to comment 😂

    • @lukessportsacademy
      @lukessportsacademy  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      That’s not what my youtube analytics say. The editing has increased viewer retention, which in turn has triggered the youtube algorithm. Since viewers are watching longer durations and not skipping forward, I have increased subscribers and my ad revenue has increased. Before I started editing this way, people found me a bit boring and would frequently fast forward past the first 30 seconds which hurt me on the algorithm. So it might seem like unnecessary editing, but since I am trying to make a living from youtube, I need to do what works and the editing has improved all of my viewer analytics.

    • @lukessportsacademy
      @lukessportsacademy  ปีที่แล้ว

      @Anonnermoose
      The consistency certainly helps, so I can see why people would think that. However, the reason I started editing intros is because the analytics showed massive dips in retention in the first 30 seconds of each video. I watched several TH-camrs who all average in the millions of views and they preach that you should have a cut or edit every 2 seconds to keep retention high. Since I have tried editing differently, It has definitely erased the number of people skipping ahead to the reaction which has correlated to the increased engagement.
      Also, I am sorry if my response came off a bit aggressive 😅 I just woke up. I appreciate your feedback on the videos
