People can say whatever they want but Scholes was the best midfielder the World had ever seen. There was nobody who can exploit space and pass a football,long or short with exreme accuracy,better than he could. Those outrageous long diagonals were sublime.

This is a proper analysis which has nothing to do with statistics and gives a better understanding of the player's ability and influence. Wasted by England
This was so over analysed 😂 you see these things every week in the premier league. Obviously he was a class player but he’s nowhere near gerrard or lampard

@@aclock2 agreed,but many people think xavi is better,but xavi himself said on daily mail interview that scholes is the best midfielder for last 15 to 20 years
As long as there is a bit of space and players making runs. He will find you inch perfect. Been watching and supporting Manchester United as a kid since 1994.
I think this video does a decent job at highlighting one of Scholes best qualities - he always waited or forced his opponents to commit, and then punished them for it. The most annoying type of player to go up against, because defending becomes an absolute chore.
The greatest ever. The beauty of Scholes was his first touch on the turn. The current crop of United midfielders could learn a lot from watching him, but even then, they wouldn't have the ability.
Name any other player that was a master of 25 yrd goals, volleys, running in late to the box, 30yrd passes, short passing, one touch passing, movement, vision, and his best skill, the ability completely dominate the pace of the game. When he wasn’t on the ball he was fierce at winning the ball back! he really is up there with the best of all time imo, no one comes close.
I think players with all the attributes, like Scholes, should have been winning the Balon D'Or and not just those players that are best at scoring the most goals. Being a master at all the skills you list makes a player the best in the world in my opinion. It always feels a shame to me that these all round great players get forgotten when the awards are announced.
@@fmre6105 but lampard does not control games and master the short and long passsing. He is mostly a playmaker in CM position. He is a better player yes but in terms of technical skills as a traditional midfielder no where close.
most intelligent and best 1 touch, 2 touch player that i have ever watched. not to mention 3 volley goals from corners, has anyone else ever done this ?
Mesmerizing to watch Scholesy. What was most proud of is his loyalty towards MU, likewise MU adore him that much not even thinking of selling him when he had his bad moments. Missed him that much i can barely watch full 90 minutes nowadays just try to avoid heart attack.
only xavi, pirlo can maybe come close to having this amount of control over a game. Two touches and the ball is at the goal line being crossed in. Incredible
I wish this video was longer, I've been teaching my 13yr old for approx 12mths about Scholes positioning,vision,passing & shooting. It's just the positioning & space (quick thinking quick feet)he needs to improve on.This is superb work you have done, he can watch this again and again. Thanks 👌
First touch immaculate, great vision , and the intelligence to make the right pass, scholes in his prime the complete midfield maestro, and much much more.
Scholes!! A legend who will not be remembered by enough people, I am glad there's a good amount of content on the web highlighting his Wizardry! Read what Ronaldo has to say about this amazing footballer/man.
Look at the movements and then the runs , there is a reason that pogba shone when untired pressed and made runs . Swap scholes prime and pogba , do you think scholes would make us much better of if everyone around him was so useless . Pogba ends up doing stupid shit when there are no passes on
I am so grateful for a video like this. I love both football and cricket but know a lot less of the techniques and innards of the football game. I became a true cricket fan at 11 but never ever played a game of football.This has helped me tremendously. Please let me know where I can find other videos like this. Thanks SO much.
From an Evertonian, Scholes without doubt, was the best midfielder of Premier League era. Scholes reminds me of a certain Alan Ball, who graced Goodison Park for many years. Although, he probably had the edge on World Cup winner Ball.
scholesy was a CF to begin with , old skool number 10 (deep lying forward) in a 4-4-2 , he replaced hughes basically , and with erics ban and coles poor form scholsey was our striker right up up till we hit serious form after new year in 95-96 season . The midfield was sharpe keane butt giggs beckham or mclair the strikers were cole cantona scholes . after that solskjaer came in with cruyff and poborski and scholes dropped into cm ....
If u make a run around scholes n he sees u, it almost certain u will get the ball. Thats why whenever he get the ball, players like valencia, rooney, berbatov, welbeck would just run for spaces.
many times he's change, many time to blessed with perfection... from second striker, box to box, sometimes roaming everywhere, and then finish it into deep lying playmaker. realy fortune can watched genius like him.
He never sought attention like the other guys did moreover to appreciate Scholes as a midfielder you must understand he was like manager on the field changing his game as the situation demanded. In ucl 2011 final where we lost deservedly we were the better team in the last 10 mins of the game and all that happened as Scholes was introduced in the game. We started controlling the game better. This video shows how you can appreciate a midfielder where stats can be misleading. Busquets too is important to Barcelona but you can't bring up statistics as a variable to understand his importance.
Oh yeah, I think Scholes leaves the rest way behind. Did what he loved doing with ease.Those who came close worked hard, knowing inside their minds they will never be as complete as the master.
Yeah, he cultivated the reputation of being a poor tackler so refs just accepted it as part of his game, he usually got away with giving anyone who fouled him one back and he remembered being kicked for ever. He was the smartest player on and off the pitch.
In modern day PL era do we get this much space in the midfield, with midfield overload getting more and more common. Also average workrate of all the teams has increased.
@@goatcristiano3629 Zizou only showed up in big games and world cup which he is remembered for. But he snoozed through La liga games most of the time. Talented but sloppy.
He was Messi in a position 10 yards back... only he had a higher level of talent, because it was he who dictated the pace of the game, Messi could never do what Paul did.
English fans overate their players so much that's why England never won the world cup after 1966. Modern generation players like Schole, Beckham or Lampard is good but not at same level as Zidane, Modric, Pirlo, Platini and few others. This is fact that's why they have been struggling at international level. Watch how Alan Ball play in 1966 world cup final...that is really a maestro.
Man anyone disputing the genius of Scholes and saying shit like Lampard and Gerrard were better are just plain wrong. Proof? Scholes was played the way he's meant to be played at Utd. They DOMINATED the premier league because of that. England played Gerrard and Lampard the way there were meant to be played and left Scholes out. They won jackshit. Play Scholes where he was supposed to and we'd have watched England's golden generation thrive. Simple as that

its all abt playing with ur brain and adding technical refinement. im not a racist,.but there ia something wrong qith african players. none could do this
Good God. No. Here is a list of black playmakers/midfielders you should really check out more. Clarence Seedorf, Ruud Gullit, Frank Rijkaard, Jay-Jay Okocha, Lassana Diarra, Patrick Vieira, Alex Song, Michael Essien, even Yaya fucking Toure. I can just keep on going. There are so so many creative and highly technical black players who have won World Cups and Euros and Champions Leagues in so many countries, and all you can think of are lazy stereotypes about black players being stupid or only succeeding through physicality. You do know Pele was black, right?
Good God you are comparing an attacking midfielder like Jay-Jay Okocha when Scholes was actually in a deeper role. And Lass Diarra or Alex Song...ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND?! Seedorf was one of my favorites and to mention Alex Song and Lassana Diarra in the same sentence is so very wrong.

Every top striker would love to have The Ginger ninja playing with them… listen to Zz …. He’s the greatest unsung legends of football…
Masterclass
Great players will always win something for their country
No footage of him not getting booked for hacks. He was the absolute master of making the ref think it was a genuine attempt to win the ball.

Scholes best days once carrick was joined. Icing on cake
Greatest player the premier league has ever seen

He was Messi in a position 10 yards back... only he had a higher level of talent, because it was he who dictated the pace of the game, Messi could never do what Paul did.
His technicality is better than gerrard and lampard combined.
Scholes Hardest kicker also not Roberto Carlos
English fans overate their players so much that's why England never won the world cup after 1966. Modern generation players like Schole, Beckham or Lampard is good but not at same level as Zidane, Modric, Pirlo, Platini and few others. This is fact that's why they have been struggling at international level. Watch how Alan Ball play in 1966 world cup final...that is really a maestro.
I am the best
Man anyone disputing the genius of Scholes and saying shit like Lampard and Gerrard were better are just plain wrong. Proof? Scholes was played the way he's meant to be played at Utd. They DOMINATED the premier league because of that. England played Gerrard and Lampard the way there were meant to be played and left Scholes out. They won jackshit. Play Scholes where he was supposed to and we'd have watched England's golden generation thrive. Simple as that
Trophies are won by teams not individuals. Gerrard could have gone to any club in the world but he decided to stay loyal. I'll give you actual proof that scholes was the worst out of the 3

@@Yeecourse different type of players but ok.
Still scholes was influential and he dictated play.
Gerrard was more dynamic scholes was like xavi.
@@ay613 look how many of those individual awards xavi won. Scholes couldn't change a game like Gerrard or Lampard he was a great player but not on the level of the other w
@@Yeecourse well he did change many watch them on TH-cam.
@@Yeecourse scholes didn't get them due to his lower goal stats
Probably best English midfielder in the premier League...may be Alan Ball and Bobby Charlton at their prime is better than Scholes..and Ray Wilkins. Cannot compare to Xavi and Pirlo...they helped their country to win world cup...

Il est bon.mais Iniesta et Xavi sont légèrement au dessus grâce à leur technique et leur capacité d'éliminer facilement leur adversaire
its all abt playing with ur brain and adding technical refinement. im not a racist,.but there ia something wrong qith african players. none could do this
johannsebastienbach your just stupid
Buvey Mate he is just laying fact mate, let’s hope someone can break this statistic.
Good God. No. Here is a list of black playmakers/midfielders you should really check out more. Clarence Seedorf, Ruud Gullit, Frank Rijkaard, Jay-Jay Okocha, Lassana Diarra, Patrick Vieira, Alex Song, Michael Essien, even Yaya fucking Toure. I can just keep on going.
There are so so many creative and highly technical black players who have won World Cups and Euros and Champions Leagues in so many countries, and all you can think of are lazy stereotypes about black players being stupid or only succeeding through physicality. You do know Pele was black, right?
Good God you are comparing an attacking midfielder like Jay-Jay Okocha when Scholes was actually in a deeper role.
And Lass Diarra or Alex Song...ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND?!
Seedorf was one of my favorites and to mention Alex Song and Lassana Diarra in the same sentence is so very wrong.
Oh and nothing good comes out when you start a sentence with: I'm not a racist but...
Please think again
the music ruined an otherwise good video
pogpa you need to study scholes if you are going to be a good midfielder but I'll tell you this you will never be the magician like Paul scholes never
Pogbas ego has already destroyed him
Scholes was good but not at the same level of Iniesta, Xavi Pirlo.. . Even Gascoigne was a better player than Scholes...or Gerrard.. Jack Wilshere..
You absolute imbecile.
