During his days at Arsenal and Inter-Milan even the European and Italian sport magazine called him a genius and a Phenomenal. A world class football player on his own pace.
He got some Ronaldhino in him with ball deviations/ transitions, some Zidane in ball control and eliminating dribbles, and some Maradona in smart and clinical passes. He was very skillful player.
A leader on the pitch and one of those rare players that can have moments that change a game like zidane and Maradona!Also he played the same way for club and country but showed his most outrageous skillset while on national team duties!Rare gem that that played through the ranks in Nigeria!
He has never ever been underated my dear. Kanu was one of the best ajax player in the 1994 champions league final when they beat milan ac. Kanu won the under 17 world cup. Kanu won the olympics games in usa 1996. Kanu was one og the best african player of the premier league. Lol once again he was never underrated.
@@ADE-of-LAGOS Kanu was definitely courted by some of the bigger teams in Europe, but that still doesnt necessarily mean he was not underrated. What I mean by this is that Kanu was generally a perennial substitute coming on or off the bench. At Inter Milan he never played more that half a season, this due to his heart defect and other injury woes to be fair. But it is his time at Arsenal where I felt his performances were being underrated or not appreciated enough. So yes be it Management, Coaching staff and Media...all three Imo underrated his ability and talent. It's safe to say if he were Italian,Argentinian or even French I'm sure the outcome would be different.
Tall and lanky with very awakward running styles yet was supremely technical and majestic on the ball for a man of his height...Kanu was a football enigma. Imagine how much more he would have accomplished if his heart condition didn't derail his career.
Remember when he surprized thé world with his funny dance at olympic's games.... Much respect kanu amokachi okocha West péter rufai babangida babayaro sunday oliseh garba lawal finidi and more and more Much respect too to former head coach Stephen Keshi rip
Bro super eagles are legends bro. I am really a child I never watched this moves as a grown guy now seeing it I appreciate these old players even more. Dammmm
and who told u kanu got no speed, ur sentiment is out of order. Now, have u tried watching a young Kanu at arsenal who was playing as a striker, tell me , how does he penetrates defenders without speed and at times arsenal midfielders feeds him with long range of tru passes of which he got the speed and long legs to chase it quickly.
Grew up idolising kanu.. I had the opportunity to see him play at the 2010 qualifiers against Tunisia, the man is a legend.. Too intelligent for his generation.. He dictated the pace of the game.. A maestro
В Африке самые физически одаренные футболисты . Только у них есть такая пластика , координация движения и рывок . Для такого роста нигериец обладает феноменальной техникой
That skill against deportivo la coruna which led to a 5-1 win in champions league that made me so happy, i never felt more joy than that moment lolllll amazing sensational goal... just wow!!! Magic of highbury will never die!!
Those boys were good Nigeria will never produce that great team again the likes of okocha, George, finidi, mutui Adepoju, Taribo west, Sunday oliseh, Rashid yakini Peter Rufai, Celestine babayaro, Tejani babangida actually the team that featured in Atlanta 1996 were extra talented
We had a crucial game against these group of talented n skillful players early 2000(2002) at our Stadium in monrovia. All we could hear from our various radio stations n the sporting department were not to hope for a single point from the Eagle. In conclusion, our country n African best, European n the world best( George Weah) resurrected our hope by saying I'm equivalent to 5 of them. I'm going to play my magic of Distractions on the page that will lead to our victory. At the end, the match ended 2- 1 in favor of the home team- The Lone Star.
See passes, technique, intelligence, skills and most of all he was very purposeful. I wanted to find some entertaining clip of one of my best players in the world. This video didn't disappoint.
Kimberly Moline Mcdonald Nobody Underrate KANU during his days at Arsenal and Inter-Milan even the European and Italian sport magazine called him a genius and a Phenomenal. A world class football player on his own!
Along with Jay Jay Okocha, Kanu was the most skillful African player of all time and one of the most skillful in the world since the inception of soccer.
Those were the days money and social media never rule the beautiful game....its was passion on every footballer playing for his country or club with full of pride....those days are gone for good😭😭😭😭😭dont forget to put on your mask😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷😷
I love nigerian players ..they win Gold olimpic medal ,vs Argentina and Brasil ...with Honor ,play of team and hearth.I love Nigeria nationality also now
Kayvaldo, youve done it again. Great video and it just shows how good our player were back then. Thank for this. Please make more of such..............Greg (futmx0
His passes are mad.The guy is a legend.Both body movement and the talented skrills demonstrated. Proudly Nigerian.

Such a special player. A magician. He had the ability to be the greatest in the world. Those feet..
The tallest man with a lovely ball control,God bless Africa.
He was my favorite Nigerian legend.. I loved the way he played.. Deft touch.. So full of confidence, look at those passes
such players made me love the Nigerian team much love for Kanu from Kenya
You will regain the love this time not for Nigeria but for Biafra
@@dubemellit2932 why Biafra haaa it's 🇳🇬 🤨
He got some Ronaldhino in him with ball deviations/ transitions, some Zidane in ball control and eliminating dribbles, and some Maradona in smart and clinical passes. He was very skillful player.
Great player, a legend! Greetings from Bulgaria!
Chat me up I have a very important business for you
@@Anderson_BTC001 do you want to scam him?
@@Anderson_BTC001 Let's talk private
One of the VERY best
Kanus type of football is more mental than physical. He has amazing clinical skills and football intelligence
Having Kanu and Okocha in the same team was an extastic time in Nigeria football
Your sure on penalty or free kick , one must enter , good old days
Nigeria will never have this kind of team again may b otherwise
The most intelligent Nigeria footballer of all time.
Beast Mode: 0

He doesn't need to be aggressive to be effective.

Angle inclusive
Non puoi mettere kanu, Zidane e Maradona nella stessa frase
Without the ball, he looks 7 feet. With the ball, he looks shorter than 6 feet. We've never had a better player.
At 6"5 ...He played like he was 5"9...
Definitely one of the most Underrated players of his time
No, Kanu was really never under-rated. He played for Ajax, Inter-Milan, and Arsenal.

That was back in the days when Nigeria had Real Raw Talent
Now we have raw idiots
we still have them till now,but the problem is the the FA have failed in discovering and giving people chance base on merit.
OPTIMUS PRIME Because england is steeling them all!!
A R name 3 Nigerians playing in any European premier leagues
Jospat Mwangi I mean the nation, most of their black players are either Nigerian or Jamaican.
Watching this just gives me EA. FC vibes. My God! Now I understand how these games are made.
Bro super eagles are legends bro. I am really a child I never watched this moves as a grown guy now seeing it I appreciate these old players even more. Dammmm
There was no speeding up Kanu, he played at his own pace, he was a unique player.
He had an amazing flow

the kanu you watched was apparently and obviously an ageing kanu.
Innocent Oriri he doesn’t mean Kanu doesn’t have speed, what he means is you can’t speed him up, he decides the tempo of the games he plays in.
Babalola Viktor Thank you!
Nwankwo kanu was a joy to watch playing football. He was breathtaking
I miss Nigeria 🙁🙁😢😢😢. Love Nigeria all the way from Yemen
انت يماني ولا نيجيري☺️
Hmmm, I don’t think so🤔
I think you meant Arewa Muslim brother
I was there during his game against Sudan (red colour Jerseys) in 2000. He is my favourite player of all times
Grew up idolising kanu.. I had the opportunity to see him play at the 2010 qualifiers against Tunisia, the man is a legend.. Too intelligent for his generation.. He dictated the pace of the game.. A maestro

Technical and tactical style of play.....The Legend live on!
He has his unique football that never played.. He is unreal ❤️
Absolutely. Football genius.
A player who always knew what to do with ball.
One of the best soccer player in the World. King Kanu!
Thank you Papilo for everything
Remains one of the best players of African extraction

Memories ✴️✴️✴️
Kanu Nwankwo made watching football romantic, that even your girlfriend may prefer watching kanu play than listening to Celine Deon.
I wasn't believe me eyes as I met him last week in Cairo international stadium
After Nigeria won against South Africa
Kanu inspired many kids to love football. The story of papillo that made his mother proud. A true legend.

Papillo I remember watching his peak milk advert in my childhood

This is real talent but some players these days are over rated and yet you never really see what they do.
If anybody asking about a perfect striker, here he is.. Nwankwo Kanu
