To date the best part about Lahm as one of the best defenders ever is also the fact that he never got a red card. you need to be some god at the level that he played and the tackles that he made to never get one and that just goes on to show how good he was.
I think you forgot to mention his fair play, never being sent off as a first team defender over such a long time is actually impressive, especially if you look at these crazy challenges
And he gave the ball back to the opposite team if the referee made a mistake (ok maybe not all the time). But I saw him doing it at least 2 times. Super fair play.
Lahm is easily the best right back in football history. He had the best sliding tackles I have ever seen in football, His defensive abilities in general are unmatched at his position.
He was my favourite player growing up but in general German players are little bit underrated compare to other players because they work as a machine so people don't realise their individual worth.
@@EdwinSalgado999 that's true, but I have no doubt that if Lahm was Barca, he would have been as much great in tiki taka. Lahm in my opinion has better control over the ball. When he has the ball in the midfield, he reminds me of xavi than a right back.
You said it all man . I like how you touched on the Robben / Lahm duo on the right flank being so deadly . Everyone would scream “ Everyone knows exactly what Robben is going to do . Cut in on his left and try to curl the ball into the far side of the goal . Why can’t they stop him!” But what most people don’t remember are those perfect runs by Phillip to the outside. A defender has to respect that run . Hence giving Robben that split second to dart inside. You knew it was coming , but they could kill you on either side of a defender . Plus Philipp rarely missed the target if Robben did decide to push the ball to Lahm. It was almost unstoppable. Kinda wished he played more on the left side though . More goals . Like the winner against Turkey in 2008. Well done
And dont forget that before lahm/robben on the right sidebit was lahm/ribery on the left side which was about the same level. And then it was Lahm/robben AND alaba/ribery.that was amazing. Btw i am not a bayern fan, quite the opposite but one has to honor that
One of the best ever. A top 10 German all-time player. He is totally underrated. Germany and Bayern learnt his value when he retired. He never made a bad game, his „worst“ performances were solid. He never played a bad pass or made stupid decisions. Defensively Lahm was a monster.
@@upotheke not quite, at the time it was thought that due to his passing, speed and intelligence CDM was straight-up his best position. He took one for the team, when he returned to playing defender during the 2014 worldcup, Germany just didn't have a wingback of sufficient quality (kinda like how Kimmich should have played wingback this worldcup, but only did in the last game)
God damn it guardiola I remember how he played lham as a fucking midfielder against real madrid in 2014 and kroos alone as a CDM One of the reasons we lost that match
Lahm was definitely one of my favorite players. When he defended, you always had the feeling that that side was safe. When Portugal came with Ronaldo and I knew he was looking after him, I was really relieved. He was a wall. A small wall, but a wall.
I have never seen a full-back so comfortable on the ball going forward or at the back in my whole life. Surely the most gifted player in his position to ever play football. His positioning and awareness was second to none. Not to mention all the other elements he excelled in.
Lahm was my Idol back in the days. Was playing Football in Kindergarten already (Bambinis) and played RB till I stopped playing. He was such an inspiration and my favourite player of all time
He was consistently perfect. Perfectly timed challeges. Great vision. Knew exactly what to do. Didn't make mistakes. Everything you need from a player and much more
@@umarrazvi he was a LB for about half of his career. And I think he was more impactful there. But overall he was a beast in every position on the back line.
Oh yes, Lahm is also my favorite player! I miss him tons! Somebody wrote: "the world will not get another Lahm. What a gentleman and fair player on and off the field!" Sooo true!
To top of all the achievement, he came close to winning so many more. Euro 08 final,Euro 2012 semifinal, world cup 2006, 2010 semifinal, champion league 2011 final etc
He was my inspiration as a kid. I loved his sliding tackles and it was something I really liked soing myself. I had a similar stature and couldnt dominate through bodymass in duels, so technique is all there was. Lahm is the master of this

I rirst really noticed Philip Lahm whilst I was working and living in Indonesia ( 2007 - 2009 ). The Bundeslga was the only European fotball I could watch. I really enjoyed watching German Football. Diego was playing for Werder Bremen who caught my eye, but I slowly noticed just how good Philip Lahm was. He was great 'on the ball' bringing it out of defence, Inch perfect tackles and coald also attack and score too. Basically, I've never seen a full back do what he did. I'd pit ihim in my top 5 or even top 3 players of all time. BTW: I'm English. How much would he sell for today? He would be the most expensive Fullback ever, probably at aound 110 million Euros.
In today's era? With very condensed schedule, and versatility. Old school mentality, all team work no personal glory. Maybe he top 3 players of current year.
Oh here it is - NICE. What amuses me in retrospect about the controversy wrt Bayern was - Lahm won. Pretty much after that and the fine, they invested in bringing in exactly the kind of player Lahm said they were missing in Javi Martinez. And the controversy that often floated around wrt Lahm getting the captaincy of the national team over Schweinsteiger, especially after the Ballack fallout. Pretty much any time Lahm's been involved in controversy, he's come out the other side proving that he knew what he was talking about. Absolutely fascinating how he reads the game and the environment around it.
Working with Alaba also made Alaba into a world-class player. It was so disappointing when Lahm retired but - he definitely did everything on his own terms.
no one blamed Lahm for the controvercy about his captaincy at the national team. That was on Joachim Löw all the way. He did Ballack really dirty... a trait of him we would see countless times during Löw's career.
Lahms greatest strength was his consistency. Even when he had a bad game, he was still good xD He never was less than good, throughout his whole career. Upamecano made more mistakes in Bayerns defeat against Gladbach, than Lahm did in all his games for Bayern
Everybody will say...gotze,muller,kroos,ozil were the guys who helped germany to win their WC...nahhh im not saying they were bad though...there were all beast(my god muller was something else at that WC) but it was Lahm who made that squad "A SQUAD" by contributing to both defence and creating space and chance for the forwards and midfield...basically he was the CPU of that team..he did all that by being incredibly selfless...
And Schweinsteiger, but tbf that was just a great team, Khedira, Özil, Müller, Klose (aging but still good), Kroos, Schweinsteiger, Lahm, Boateng, Hummels, Neuer, Götze, Schuurle, Draxler - that’s a team.
@@schnitzelfilmmaker1130 They were a Team . Mario Götze's reply when asked about how it feels to win the WC for Germany with his Goal, he replied "The Team played a great Tournament, and I luckily was able to provide my own little contribution ." is exemplary .

4:27 I don't know why you refer to his candor as a controversy. He spoke his mind, which, from an objective angle, was quite true. Speaking truth must never be labelled as controversial, no matter whose feathers get ruffled.
Lahm was an underrated player. I would say the best German player of the last 30 years. It was rare for him to make a mistake or have a poor match. He was not a man for the spectacular but did the basics supremely well. Underrated as a leader too. The German team has been very average ever since Lahm retired, as shown again at FIFA 2022
The most important WC win for Germany was 1954 only 9 years after the war it was like a sign of hope for the future to show that good will come and it gave so much hope to the people. my grandpa (born 1940) told me about how they listend to the final on the radio and how they celebrated after it. It was by far the most important for the german people and maybe also for german football. But good video about one of the greats!
Lahm is one of those players where you can never really know what he would go for in this market. He is an invaluable player but I'm not sure how much he would really go for, it could be as low as 30 mil or as high as 80 mil
I would love a video where you look into players who are way overrated or not as good as people think. Yours always expose under appreciated players, but some are just over appreciated.
Lahm is the Lothar Matthäus of the modern era. I couldn't imagine a better team captain leading us to winning the world cup 2014. Lahm will always be an icon for me as well as an idol.
i just saw the 2012 champions leauge semi and he was class against real...every thing he does is so calculated and you feel he understands and read the game so well ...kroos was the best midfielder in that game and he was so young
He was always a quality wonderkid on Champ Manager 99/00/01, the numbers he put up as him and Samba/TTZM/that Portuguese player that didn't actually exist (To Medeira?) dragged my Scarborough team from the 4th tier to the top of Europe were immense.
Loved him. If you ask me to pick the best team of players I saw in my lifetime, I pick him and Maldini as my full backs, no hesitation. Lahm RB, Maldini LB.

Lahm at right-back and Irwin at left-back, or Irwin at right-back and Lahm at left-back?

Transfer value would be slightly less then the inflated centre back Virgil Van Dike. About 60-70 m
After boycotting the world cup, He became more Loved at least for me.
Alves, Cafu and probably Zambrotta were better in my opinion but he was top 5 in the last 30 years. Very solid player.
Great video, but It's VfB Stuttgart.
Him and Andreas Brehme were Germanies absolute best concerning the position they played....
I think kimmich is very similar to lahm. Hope he's cearer is too
I agree on that, i see much simaliritys between them.
Joshua kimmich is one player reminded me of lahm.
More versatile than Gullit?
Hey a Suggestion for bastian schweinsteiger
