A man that tall and slender but with ‘glued to the foot’ ball control. And even more amazing he can round the GK in very tight angle. If it’s Messi or Maradona it would’ve been normal but Kanu is just unbelievable.
His close ball control was one of the best. He could make defenders and keepers look like fools. My favourite goal was the back heel against Middlesbrough.
I wish his heart issue didn't take a toll on him as years came by. He had no choice than to decrease his work rate. At times you see him gasping for air yet his manoeuvres were mesmerising. He actually wanted to disrespect Peter Schmeichel...he wasn't lucky
So in love with your skill set Papillo. You were a game changer! So sad Arsene Wenger didn't make you shine enough during your hay days in favour of his country-man Thierry Henry.
Yep you're absolutely right.. Arsene Wenger.. was fucken racist. Black lives matter...... theory Henry was not a game changer. But KANU was a game changer and expect unexpected..KANU gave a nightmare CHELSEA @last minutes
Kanu could play much after he undergo a heart surgery,he doesn’t need to strain himself anymore so he had to always come as super sub even for the Nigeria national team and arsenal
kay valdo Of course. It’s just my observation, R9 doing it the best way possible after bulldozing defenders, Kanu did it the most efficient way by barely moving his legs. No one can argue against a player who was absent for almost 2 complete seasons and then scored 8 goals in a World Cup.
Rounding Goalies is Kanu's super power. I can comfortably say he is better than R9 in rounding goalies considering the effortlessness at it. No doubt R9 is a far better plaÿer than Kanu. It takes more than rounding goalies to be World Class. But we've got to give this one to Kanu
@@kingsleyogburie2798 I’ve watched Roberto Baggio’s goal compilation. The way he round the GK is similar to Kanu. It’s just amazing because they have very different physique but similar technique.
@@kingsleyogburie2798 out of R9 400 something goals 23% was around goalkeeper. Kanu a legend tho. I was too young to realize his technical abilities back then. Now I understand
Aswear the GOD he's gotta skills and the ball controls like that of BRAZILIAN e'lphenamennon RONALDO'9 .... KANU was a who gives a gift for the goalkeepers and defenders NIGHTMARE just like that of BRAZILIAN RONALDO But RONALDO had more than one Ronaldo's I mean all BRAZILIAN are just good as Ronaldo.. BUT!! kanu had the most corrupt country's in the world.. . BUT he showed a dominant role for the football history when he beat the SEMIFINAL best Brazilians team of all time @1996 ATLANTA OLYMPICS with RONALDO rivaldo R'Carlos cafu & manny more.. PLUS the Argentina's @the FINAL.. Fifa should award him the best player in world @1996 since he beat all overrated best players @the time Anyways we'll never see a guy like him and JJ/AKOCHA... on the African continent... Arsenal Friendly play in his 40's he managed to score hatrck
N KANU score agoal like Abig Ronaldo the and the only because droing ronaldo time ronaldo left the g keeper and score and N KANU is justu like the big Ronaldo Brazil BArzil
The composure, the "close to the feet" control of the ball, the confidence irrespective of the angle, just wow!
My best Nigerian footballer ever. He was graceful with the ball. Missed him so much
It’s like he’s not even trying. Very natural, using composure and quick feet.
What a player! La croquets is sometimes credited to Iniesta but Kanu was doing it around keepers way before him!
A man that tall and slender but with ‘glued to the foot’ ball control. And even more amazing he can round the GK in very tight angle.

Kanu was probably the most underrated player of his generation.
Indeed he was
That generation was loaded… but yea he was kind of underrated
Not underrated by me
My greatest African footballer of all time.GOAT
Kanu is the best goalkeeper beater in history of football but was underated!
Kanu is great, but Ronaldo Nazario is the best at rounding goalkeepers. It is possible that Ronaldo picked up some techniques from Kanu
@@rarimapirate9237 R9. Baggiovery good too
@@rarimapirate9237 rivaldo
Ronaldo rounded the keeper more but kanu did it more beautifully with ease
Kanu was pure magic, his first, second in fact every touch just brilliant.
Unbelievable agility and pace for someone with such long legs!
Defenders including Goalkeepers fall and bow before him. I laugh seeing them willfully falling and bowing down. Kanu is a Master.
Kanu ball control was awesome made it looked simples
1:13 most underrated goal in the history of the game
He never missed a chance to humiliate a goalkeeper
I was at Highbury that night, it felt like I'd seen something from another dimension.
A special talent. Once in a generation talent. The game slowed down for him
Watching this clip after so many years proves Kanu is the most complete player of our generation by far with his unmatched skills💯.
I still remember his goal against Brasil at the Atlanta 96 Olympics semifinals.
He was an underrated legend
The composure is second to none
r9, baggio, kanu, rivaldo master at rounding the goalkeeper
He won so many trophies, just look it up.
The love I have for this great legend.. only God knows
Natural intelligence
1:13 This keeper rounded himself 😂
🤣
He was turned inside out by a series of faint dummies
His close ball control was one of the best. He could make defenders and keepers look like fools. My favourite goal was the back heel against Middlesbrough.
Undisputed talented kanu nigeria pride
Very smart player
I wish his heart issue didn't take a toll on him as years came by. He had no choice than to decrease his work rate. At times you see him gasping for air yet his manoeuvres were mesmerising. He actually wanted to disrespect Peter Schmeichel...he wasn't lucky
Silky smooth Kanu
KAN-U BELIEVE IT?
The one he missed against Denmark in 1998 world cup was the most painful..
One of the times it failed him.😔
The one against Southampton in the last minutes of the game at the dell in 99 hurt more, Arsenal drew 0-0 and lost the title by 1 point
Gbawaa net dia. What a player, what a talent
His movements are unique
1:47 was my best Kanu goal ever💥💥💥 ❤

Always know he is great but never know he is this great❤❤❤
So composed
So intelligent
In term of rounding the goalies he’s on par with R9
Kanu was among the best at it and I'm hesitant to admit it but nobody's on R9's level.
