I remember on the time before the net and TH-cam, it took me almost six weeks to get the 1974 WC Final on VHS. Sending mail to the collectors ads in World Soccer and Match magazines, then getting their list, then sending another mail with money order, then wait till they send me the VHS videos that I requested. I am from Saudi Arabia, so sending and getting mail takes a while. Finally, I was SO eager to watch the orange magic and whatever I read and hear about Cruyff. I ended up loving Beckenbauer, watched the game more than a time, just to enjoy his neat elegant passes with the outside of his foot. I always enjoy midfielders and strikers. Well, Franz was more of a midfielder to me. On the later years, and till now, I always look for the old classic German games, just to enjoy those passes from Franz.
There have been many very, very good defenders, like Maldini, Cafù or Lahm. Beckenbauer was still a step ahead of them, through his combination of defensive quality, symbol of elegance and importance as a team leader.
Ruhe in Frieden Kaiser. Du Held meiner Kindheit und Jugend, der Ball hat immer das gemacht was du wolltest.Du warst der Beste,ein Dirigent auf dem Platz.Aber auch neben dem Platz warst du eine herausragende Persönlichkeit und ein guter Botschafter unseres Landes.
OMG! When I was a kid , I knew the name Pele, Socrates, Beckenbauer, Garrincha, Eusébio... from magazine and PC games. But never had the chance to watch they play. And today I know why he is a legend. R.I.P, the Emperor of football.
The reason for Beckenbauer using only the outside of his right foot is explained in his own diary: He has written unlike most people, his feet are positioned inward instead of outward, so it is the natural inward condition of his feet that makes him to shoot the ball that way. Whereas a player like Cruyff was able to use both his feet to do that while having (I assume) his feet in outward condition like most, if not all people.
It makes sense a lot of the passes in this clip and others have seen could have apparantly been made more simplely in convectional way.. I thought it was typical german arrogance, lol.
I'm Scottish and I just love the Kaiser, he played football as if it was the most natural thing to do. He made playing football look as if it was just a past time.
Saw the Kaiser in '83 when he returned to the Cosmos playing home games on the turf at Giants Stadium..He always was so sure about where the ball was supposed to go he looked like he moved in slow motion ...watching these clips I never remembered him moving so quickly
Such unbelievable skills..Awesome..one of the greatest ever..he has his place secure in the group of the greatest players ever together with Pelé,Maradona,Messi,Zidane,Cruyff...
The Figueroa of Europe. The G.O.A.T. in central defence. (Bobby Moore, Baresi, Maldini & Cafu also belong to the all time greatest defence line up). R.I.P. LEGEND.
His use of the outside of the foot has become so typical that until today whenever a German defender of some quality tends to play the ball that way over fourty meters - like Matthias Herget or Mats Hummels - you can be sure he will be nicknamed the „new Franz Beckenbauer“ by the press.
His unique style of long passes was puzzling until I realized that he got his foot under the ball and almost dropped it in front of his teammate (instead of kicking it). This made it so easy for his teammate to receive the ball and run with it. I tried to imitate his style but was never successful.
Cruyff all day long. He did trivela with BOTH feet. In fact, Cruyff is my GOAT passer of the ball. Passes bent & whipped in at bizarre, Pythagoras geometrical angles.
a mai giocato come portiere, sicuramente sarebbe stato perfetto anche in porta grande livello il più completo di tutti i tempi grazie kaiser il grande.
For him it wasn't easier since using the outside of his right boot to him was like a second nature. He did use his left often enough though, he wasn't as predominantly one-footed player as, say, Maradona.

His tackle on Alan Clarke definitely deserved a penalty for Leeds, but that is not cheating. The referee was very close to the scene; how could he miss such an obvious penalty is mind boggling. If you mean Beckenbauer cheated on Lorimer's disallowed goal; all he did was raising his hand (I think the linesman called it offside), like most players do when a decision goes against their team. If you want to criticize Beckenbauer, do it for his objection to Jack Taylor in awarding Holland a deserved penalty in 74 final, when he told Taylor: "You are an Englishman"!! What does that have to do with the legitimacy of a penalty?!!! If his point was because W. Germany had eliminated England from 70 W. Cup and Euro 72, that is a very sick justification for objecting a valid penalty call. I am a Leeds fan, and don't think Lorimer's goal was offside, If I remember correctly, Billy Bremner was pushed back, and he didn't interfere with the direction of Lorimer's shot. Some say he blocked Sepp Meier's vision; that is very subjective, and there is no camera view from the back of the goal to prove that was the case.
@@13muller9 Because of his stature in the game he was well known for influencing referees. Leeds were dealt with very unfairly and the crooked Kaisee had a grubby hand in it. Therefore I feel I must agree to disagree with you there.
@@georgedonaldson6252 I've heard that argument before, but there is no specific evidence to prove that point. You are entitled to disagree, but back your assertion with a specific example. Look at the tape: Initially, the linesman is not visible, then it looks like Beckenbauer looks at linesman's direction and then and only then after realizing the linesman is calling for offside, he raised his hand and did it calmly because the linesman had already ruled in favor of Bayern. It is not that Beckenbauer ran the field, confronted the ref and argued with him and made the ref to invalidate Lorimer's goal. Is raising a hand enough to change the mind of a referee, no matter how great your stature is in the game? No. Beckenbauer insulted Jack Taylor by calling him " You are an Englishman". Did Taylor change his mind because of Beckenbauer's stature in the game?! No, you can see that Taylor reached his pocket, and was about to take out the yellow card for Beckenbauer if he was going to keep talking non sense. Maradona in 86 final had even a greater stature in the game than Beckenbauer did in 74: Over a free kick against Argentina, the ref ordered the free kick to be taken again, because to the best of my recollection, an Argentine player had moved forward before the ref's whistle. What was ref's reaction to Maradona's protest? He showed him a yellow card. I understand your frustration, because like any Leeds fan, we knew 75 final was the last chance for aging Leeds players to win the ultimate prize, but we have to be fair and point to the incompetent French ref and his linesman for Leeds loss. The same incompetent ref had to sent off Terry Urath's awful foul on Anderson (Bayern's Swedish player If I remember his name correctly) which broke his leg or ankle but he didn't; I don't remember he even gave Urath a yellow card (I might be wrong). Then Leeds had to play 10 against 11 from about the 10-th minute of the game, but no Leeds fan points to that injustice against Bayern. Overall Leeds was much better than Bayern and deserved to win the final.
@@georgedonaldson6252 And I'm going by what English football in general were thinking about Leeds' conduct in the 1970s. That's good enough for me to see that Leeds fans have no business acting houlier than thou.

Simply the best and the most complete defender of all time. No contest
Maldini would beg to differ, well I would on his behalf
Maldini was not nearly as complete or good
Bobby Moore ..How he played against the 1970 Brazilians was absolute genius .
There have been many very, very good defenders, like Maldini, Cafù or Lahm. Beckenbauer was still a step ahead of them, through his combination of defensive quality, symbol of elegance and importance as a team leader.
he was a Maestro and a violonist, he stroked the ball with the outside of his foot. RIP LIBERO

He was the best German Soccer Player ever. He became World Champion as a Player and Coach!
The most elegant and complete defender ever🏆

RIP LEGEND …. THE BEST EUROPEAN FOOTBALL PLAYER OF ALL TIME!!!!!
Eusebio. But Franz is up there.
Cruyff, but I'm prepared to be challenged on that
ZZ
Zidane.
If you are so stupid to do a head bang? as football player he was great, but bad temper@@rw1592
Great video .... I always wanted this type of video that focus on the passes of Beckenbauer, especially the ones with outside of his foot.
Rest in Peace Legend! Niemand konnte solche Außenrist Pässe Spielen außer Dir! Du warst der Größte. 😢
Surely the best elegant player ever.thank you for the video and the information ,i know it in french "exterieur du pied".
He was the dancer between the Fighters.
But he could fight if need
Franz Beckenbauer is the best defender of all time. Rest In Peace Kaiser Franz Beckenbauer.
The most important thing is a fantastic vision of the field and an accurate pass for 40-50 meters.
Beckenbauer was one of the greatest ever. RIP Der Kaiser

Fascinating stuff! I didn’t know that.
thanks .. okaay nice to know that .. i always watched him and impressed how outside his foot seems sooo natural to him
So, it was a defect after all...
@@veniaminchira7740 yeah, he was with a defect better than all others without defect!
It makes sense a lot of the passes in this clip and others have seen could have apparantly been made more simplely in convectional way.. I thought it was typical german arrogance, lol.
Ruhe in Frieden Kaiser 🕊️
The best CB of all time, no one even comes close
Grande uomo e calciatore
I'm Scottish and I just love the Kaiser, he played football as if it was the most natural thing to do. He made playing football look as if it was just a past time.
Un grande calciatore, un grande uomo .
There is no need to worry and there is no waste.
sheer virtuosity
Perfectly put.
A lot of these passes would be absolutely killer even if they weren't outside of the boot wow
Excellent compilation, very well done - a lot of time is going into creating such compilations. Great effort!
Thanks) It’s takes time but watching him play is worth it.
Ein großer Fußballer und eine großartige Persönlichkeit! Danke Franz, du bist unser ewiger Kaiser! 💝
RIP Franz Beckenbauer ❤😭🇩🇪
Легкость во всех движениях.Божественный!!!
Saw the Kaiser in '83 when he returned to the Cosmos playing home games on the turf at Giants Stadium..He always was so sure about where the ball was supposed to go he looked like he moved in slow motion ...watching these clips I never remembered him moving so quickly
Perfect posture, head up reading the game, elegant and poised. Looked like an executive playing elite football.
R.I.P. Hero
Such unbelievable skills..Awesome..one of the greatest ever..he has his place secure in the group of the greatest players ever together with Pelé,Maradona,Messi,Zidane,Cruyff...
One of the greateast german players RIP
No contest, best players all time! Rest in peace! ⭐️🙏⚽️
the Dutch footballer Willem van Hanegem always shot with his outside edge 🤩
Yep, one of the all-time great outside-of-the-boot users. His curled passes were sublime!
In one word...MAJESTIC
The Figueroa of Europe. The G.O.A.T. in central defence. (Bobby Moore, Baresi, Maldini & Cafu also belong to the all time greatest defence line up). R.I.P. LEGEND.

Who do you think was the ultimate trivela master? Beckenbauer, Cruyff, van Hanegem, Modrić, Eder, Quaresma?
Name your favourite below 👇
Cruyff all day long. He did trivela with BOTH feet. In fact, Cruyff is my GOAT passer of the ball. Passes bent & whipped in at bizarre, Pythagoras geometrical angles.
George best was pretty good too
@@johnpacino007 Nope, both the West German's Beckenbauer and Netzer were better at it.
Van Hanegem was certainly the most flamboyant.
@@tko74 How?
I loved everything about his game. One thing I never saw him do was pass back to the goalkeeper, it was as if it would be an insult to him.
a mai giocato come portiere, sicuramente sarebbe stato perfetto anche in porta grande livello il più completo di tutti i tempi grazie kaiser il grande.
R.I.P
The best
One of Johan Cruyff, nice video and thanks
Amazing🥶
could watch this guy play till the cows come home
goat conversation for me always revolved around 2 players...Beckenbauer and Maradona
With an outside boot like that who needs the inside ?
The only one who played off the front foot naturally - and all of the time - was di Stefano. It's an affectation with most players.
You have to rephrase your statement and grammatically rectify it
@@ugabaluga5447 Done.
Legend....
great video. the master? I'd say Meazza or Didi
Most of players do not use their outside foot except Beckenbauer , Cruyff and Pele especialy .
Great right foot, where's the left peg like mine though?
World class. Elegant.
0:06 disqualified for using underside of foot.
Rip legend.
👍
Personally when a left footed pass is on , and easier, questioning the decision to use the right
For him it wasn't easier since using the outside of his right boot to him was like a second nature. He did use his left often enough though, he wasn't as predominantly one-footed player as, say, Maradona.

But he shoot with left foot inside the goal against USSR in WC66.....
"but" refers to the clip selection, not to the supposed limitation of Beckenbauer's own game
