He hurt his ankle and never got back to being right. the equivalent of a golfer hurting their wrist. That season he was clinical and the definition of a finisher in the box. Hope he comes back
@@apulianknife It wasn't park it was Ki Seung Yung. Everyone forgets Flores and Williams. Think Ben Davies was round then too. We would've done even better if we didn't have Tremmel in goal.
Mohammad Saddam He doesn’t have to redeem himself he’s scored 17 goals. 2 less than Aguero. The same as Kane, Aubameyang, Mane and 2 more than Sterling.
For everyone saying *"one season wonder"* he wasn't a 1 season wonder he had a chronic ankle injury that stopped him, he was playing through pain for most of this season, I can guarantee u that he would of been a deadly striker for Swansea for years without the injury
He fancied himself bigger than the club and wanted to move. Forced a loan move to Napoli, got injured and never came back. Swansea also didn't give him a second chance as he had fancied himself too big for the club. Shame really but in a way I don't blame him. Stay humble
I remember when he was playing, i was 8 and he was my hero, everyone in my school was doing his celebration and then all of a sudden he vanished, he had the potential to become a legend
I’ll never forget how I really got interested into football because of this very person. I was 14-15 years old then, and watching Michu score for Swansea week in week out felt nothing short of magical. Michu and Michael Ballack were 🔝
I swear this man became the Spanish Pelé in that one debut season with Swansea and then dissapeared once it ended, he is just a player only few people and Swansea fans will remember
What a stupidity. Oviedo, Celta, Rayo Vallecano and Langreo fans too. He was very humble, and an Oviedo fan achieving his dream, so he played in 3rd Spanish division (4th level), demoted due to Oviedo's economy, until 21 years old that he decided to go to Celta B.
Swansea is actually very deadly that season. Beat Arsenal and Chelsea also winning the capital one cup. Damn Michu's presence really affect the whole team.
I remember going down to the liberty and everyone chanting his name hes a bit llorente but hes gone now, i didnt understand why he was so important but i learnt
Một cầu thủ với cái tên rất đặc biệt,ko lẫn vào ai cả,anh đem đến giải ngoại hạng một mùa bóng thật đáng nhớ,khi đó còn ở nhà,hai bố con cùng xem ngoại hạng anh,và ông cũng thực sự rất thích cầu thủ này,đá rất hiệu quả và lạnh lùng,cám ơn anh Michu🇻🇳
He was great player but big clubs didnt see his great skills. I remember that year Swansea city plays tiktaka better than Arsenal in England. N michu scored a lot of goals n Swansea city win Carlin cup also known as capital one cup. I like this great striker.
actually incredible when u look at him, the amount of first time finishes that keepers just were not ready for at all, taking the chances early was his biggest selling point
Aman Khera, He literally ended his career yesterday because of an injury, now we only need to remember the golden time for Michu. He was a great footballer and a man!
Michu is like that one student who used to do really good in school and get all the good grades. And then the next year, he starts to do pretty bad and gets bad grades.
Clinical finisher, will always remember the season that he was a sensation, thanks to the uploader for putting this video together and reminding me of this talent and thanks to TH-cam (weird -.-) for putting this on my feed.
ThịtBòKhô why? Because the thumbnail looks like him? Kaka scores no where near as many headers and he is known for beating players with his extreme pace. Completely different play styles
Daffa Abieza he never said physique either, did he? He said after watching the video. So if he didn’t know Michu and thought this was Kaka AFTER watching the video, that means he is obviously going off more than just his physique.
Real Sfinxx Spanish football is all about passing and ball possession. I didn't watch La Liga because it's the same story every season. If it's not Barcelona, it's Real Madrid who won it. So, what's the point watching it when you know what the results was...
How time flies, in that game against arsenal in 2013.When he was being subbed in,i remember telling my uncle,this is the michu,he is all the rage now in the premier league,watch,he will soon score,less than a minute later,he does......Michu and BVB were my surprise of 2013
backcracker08 Its more than that though surely? Now they wont even use him and I think I heard apparently he wants to quit. Maybe depression or other mental illness?
he never came back to his old form after his injuries. He was on loan to Napoli but he hardly played there. such a sad story if u think that he also played for the national team after this amazing season
Yeah you are right. And yes he did play for spain I remember now. WOW. Its very sad. But I still think he was mentally unwell because lack of form is one thing but apparently he doesn't train and went AWOL and wanted to quit football. I hope he recovers well and comes back somewhere to score some goals
Who was the fucking gumby of a Manager that let this guy go to Napoli and ruined his career, and Swansea’s chance of ever winning anything or making Europe in the process?
He was clinical. What a debut season.

For everyone saying *"one season wonder"* he wasn't a 1 season wonder he had a chronic ankle injury that stopped him, he was playing through pain for most of this season, I can guarantee u that he would of been a deadly striker for Swansea for years without the injury
so
He also done it a season before he joined swans in Spain
He would've left swansea
that's still a one season wonder
An injury does not discount you from being a one season wonder (in the PL)

He was like a Luca Toni that season. His morale was DAMN high and that is the most important thing in football.
Luca toni was what I was thinking of, michu the way he was finishing reminded me of luca toni.
@@antcunningham1997 his celebration too
That curl placing finish was his trademark .

A la theirry Henry
I’m noticing that Wayne Routledge assisted quite a lot of his goals

And then he just disappeared all of a sudden
Ankle injury hit him hard
After that, he left swansea for napoli right?

He scores effortlessly..that's some talent..
I've noticed Haaland is tributing him in alot of his celebrations lately with the hand to ear. Showing respect to his inspiration, Michu is class 🙌

haha, try asking Agatha Christie
Injuries
He was a diva behind the scenes ashley williams had him by the throat in dressing room so they got rid of him fact
The management moved him out of position. He got a severe injury. Never recovered. Combination of mismanagement and mistreatment by medical team.
Injuries forced him to retire very soon.......in 2016

What a player this man made me love Swansea that season! Great team to watch when he was playing
2023 coming back to watch the golden years for Swansea. What a player
Retired but never forgotten. Michu was a hero to a generation of motd watchers back in this season
His finishes were CLINICAL
aaaaahhh I miss him! I miss the good old times!
