How One of Spain's Greatest Midfielders Went Undiscovered For So Long

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 มิ.ย. 2024
- How good is David Silva, really? I have him up there as one of the greatest midfielders of all time, with 98% the dribbling of Iniesta, and 96% passing of Xavi. I believe he was Spain's 3rd best midfielder of all time.
Let's look at the career and story of legendary midfielder, David Silva.

1:54 does Kyle Walker have ball knowledge? 🧠⚽️
He is crazy good .
Yeah David silva was criminally underrated just born in the wrong generation
Obviously much more than us
To be frank he has a fair bit of XP dembele was just AFK😂❤
That morrocan map you put is disrispectfull cause morroco is the hole contry until moritany
He born on a wrong time where there was a prime xavi and iniesta dominating the world just like Di Maria…nevertheless a true football fan would know how much of a baller he was
To be honest, Di Maria might still not get the recognition even if he was born in the 40s for real, so it's just how things must happen.
Di Maria is getting more recognition Thoe u can’t really call him underrated as much anymore. After winning World Cup, copa America.
The only thing that sets Xavi Iniesta apart from most extremely underrated midfielders like Silva is their trophies
@@EagleEyes77 yes he is he’s not very underrated anymore he’s just underrated without the “very” he’s getting more recognition slowly after World Cup/copa America if we’re being honest.
@@Alfredo888 oh okay
He was criminally underrated .
Very
& they built a statue of him at Etihad, yeah right!
David Silva was simply brilliant
Only if your rating system is "number of positive opinions". If your rating system is "number of trophies won" he is not underrated.
@@paullowoleoutside of Man City fans, he’s not as mainstream as he should be for how good he was. Like people mention Gerrard waaay more and he equalled Gerrards total assists in 200 less matches.
Moral of the story, Spain had almost every good midfielder of the early 2010s, xavi iniesta Alonso Silva Mata fabregas, the fact I'm probably forgetting some is crazy
Santi cazorla, busquets
Silva benched half these players, was very underrated from a Spanish perspective, the Prem knew what he was about
Isco
He went to play I'm England which was made things worse for him, those who played in Spain were a step above him, the same could be said about Fabregas and Carzola
Thiago Alcantara coming through the generation afterwards
Silva and Toure were so fun to watch in the midfield. The two of them were just so good.
Spain and it's array of top class midfielders are a joy to watch. David Silva is a true warrior who became a symbol of Manchester City dominance in English football and not to forget won everything with Spain.
Yeah but I still feel if he played in this current City squad, he’d be rated and mentioned waaay more
Loved the David Villa, David Silva, Juan Mata & Pablo Hernandez Valencia days. Some superb fun attacking football.
Im a city fan but David Villa is one of my favourites all time since he in 2010 WC was soo good. Only player who’s autograph I have, would love to have some current and ex man city players autograph.
Oh man those were the days. Madrid and Barca were very wary of that Valencia team.
if they were all in their prime together they could have definitely taken a few pieces of silverware even in those days haha
Put some respect on David Silva’s name 😤
Leave a like if you can it’s the best way to support ❤️🙏 love you all
This. City built a backbone and made a name for themselves with David Silva. he was truly a humble magician. One of the greatest spanish players to ever grace the prem.
yet he’s still unappreciated by most!
Please man, do one of Santi CAZORLA PLEASE. He was such an underrated player in that spanish generation, but injuries kind of kill his carreer. He was so good, and both feet player. Amazing tecnical guy.
And if you can, i let you these underrated legend of spain, VALERON, He was called the spanish zidane, and he was a key player in super-depor, the spanish team that dominates spains alongside barcelona and madrid in the 90's and earlh 2.000... he literally outplayed every big team in champions league (bayern, man united, arsenal, juve, milan etc....)
I definitely should brother 🫡 0:01
Raymar, the man that provides me the perfect videos just when I need them (while eating dinner lol).
Same
same
Same
hahaha, hope I could make those meals a little more enjoyable bro ❤
Underrated player imo
Did you watch the video? That’s the entire point of it lol
He never was underrated in my books
@@power279just the fact that so many casuals dont rate him makes him underrated. if he played for City today he’d have much more recognition
As a City fan he was well respected and appreciated. El Mago Silva
should get more respect outside of City fans for how good he was tbh. Maybe if played today he’d have 2-3x more recognition. I even saw some comments saying Bruno is better 💀
@@RaymarFootballBruno isn’t even better than Ødegaard
@@RaymarFootball as a united fan. bruno is underrated but silva (both silvas) are out of his reach. the only silva he can beat is andre silva.
@@MERCwtm maybe this season. but overall nah, bruno racked 1 season with 1 g+a contribution per match. 2 times with 0.6 and 2 times with 0.4 per match. odegaard touched that stat only 1 season so far.
Raymar has never, not one day, disappoint me.
much love brother ❤really means a lot
Barça midifielders got most of the fame from that glorious times but we often forget that this squad had also Xabi Alonso, Silva, Cazorla or Mata...what a time to support spanish team...
don't forget fabregas
Indeed, but I consider him as Barça player@@five5654
Or Busquets.
pedro too
it was a bad day to press as an opposition 🤣
As a man united fan he’s still the one city player that I would’ve loved at my club. I think he’s the most important player in transforming city into the club they are today.
he would have made any club better tbh, could fit anywhere and proves he can run a midfield
@@RaymarFootballcity don’t win their first prem title in 2012 without him. Who knows what happens after that. No Pep perhaps.
he represented the Canary Islands in the national team we love him 🇮🇨❤
a big reason why he wasn’t playing for a massive club at an earlier age was because how remote he was imo 🤣 but respect
@@RaymarFootball it’s really not that remote the islands and spain are fairly well connected, but definitely if he was born in spain his career would’ve been something else
David Silva is the most underrated midfielder of our generation. Through late 200's to mid 2010's with Spains dominance of the football world, you always hear about Xavi, Iniesta, Xabi, Fabregas, Busquets, but David Silva was BY FAR my favourite Spanish midfielder.
Especially when he and Toure linked up for City games, they were so damn good
You know ball 🤝
Theres a few more than some certain british "fans" :D Valencia fellas will either.
This Valencia team. Canizares, Marchena, Ayala, Baraja, Albelda... In the front Joaquin, Vicente, Silva, Villa. Criminally underrated.
Good times.
Of course haha, but it’s sad how much respect he lacks
This documentary should be about Santi Cazorla, I mean David has a statue outside City, only the streets really know how good Santi was
true, but he still doesnt have the recognition he deserves for how godly he was in the PL
He's the forgotten son of football, i knew it when he left Man city that it was the moment the world would forget him. I hate how players like him , Kun , Villa and Rakitic were just never acknowledged righteously
Yeah it’s sad. If he was a player in current City he’s actually get the recognition he deserves. Casuals werent paying attention to City back then like they are now
I like how raymar describes players
thank you for the support brother ❤
Finally some appreciation for david silva, he’s so underrated
of course bother! thanks for watching 🙏
I’m a big man utd fan but I loved david silva so much that I bought his jersey during my visit to etihad stadium
If Silva had went to Utd, they would have preserved a lot of dominance 😭
When you see people online talking about underrated players they’re always saying “Di Maria, Muller, Dybala” but the real underrated players of that generation are David Silva, Moussa Dembele, Yaya Toure and Jan Vertonghen.
ball knowledge sir 🤝
Just LOL at vertogen... And moussa. You re not serious
Yes David Silva made the foundations for Manchester city.
Silva is the best Spanish player I have seen my whole life...
not a crazy take shows how good he was 🔥
Thanks for another great video, Raymar! Love the fact that you're posting videos so regularly now - warms my heart!
Keep at it, big man!
much love my man ❤really means a lot, I’ll try my best to keep it up!
I remember watching him as a kid and always wishing I'd one day play like him. He was just incredible
Yup, a true wizard 🧙
Silva and Mata were always overlooked.
That Kyle Walker interview says alot about David Silva.
Thanks for mentioning that bro 😂 probably the only comment I seen about it
My poor Walker😢😢 He wanted to be respectful towards Kevin... I don't blame him. It s hard to choose between him n silva
But I d take Kevin 💯💯💯He can also defend, unlike silva and can score some goals from distance right? Silva was more " magic " but kdb is kdb for me.
Your videos are inspiring bro. God bless you and your family
Thank you for the kind words brother ❤️ God bless you as well
I hope phil and bobb fulfill his legacy at every level of the competition
just hope they can stay healthy!
Yes one of my favorite players of all time!!
He and David Villa were unstoppable in their primes
Yup, sad how short Villas prime was because of Injury though 😭
@@RaymarFootballhis prime was not short. He got at the right time to reach his peak
Heartbeat of the team
He was a magical player to watch and most that have played with him say he's the best player that they have played with
couldnt have said it better brother
Strongly agree, David silva was underrated...and sincerely he was extremely good
I watch you for a long time. Happy how far your channel has come.
really appreciate the love and support brother ❤️ hope I can keep entertaining the OG subs like you!
Definitely. :)
Can we all just appreciate raymars editing
it’s not that great haha but I do try to make small improvements, much love for the support ❤️
Wow! Great video
appreciate the support brother❤
Awesome video man. I would have really liked to see that Agüero-Silva-Agüero sequence against Aston Villa. It was so clean.
didnt wanna risk too much high profile moments for copyright reasons 😭
Great video Raymar
I hope you didn't forget about the Hagi video
one of the very best i've seen. too underated
you have ball knowledge sir 🤝
City's greatest and an absolute legend
facts 🤝
Iniesta on the left wing and "El chino" silva on the right wing = good time for being a Spain fan in the late 2000s/early 2010s
They were legendary. 🔥
He was such a special player
there’s a reason they called him the magician 🪄
A true icon of the sport, absolutely magical player
the magician for a reason 🪄
He was amazing, but he was no better than either Xavi or Iniesta.
I love both, and do agree, but also, you could replace either one with Silva for Barcelona and have the same success. Xavi and Iniesta play best together, I don't think they could have done what Silva did in PL without another player similar to the other with them
I agree but silva could replace one of them and still get the job done
As a Man United fan I m a big David Silva fanboy and have been for almost over a decade now.
respect 🤝
I never forgot David Silva
❤️❤️❤️
el chinoooo one of my mcfc legends loved that man slept on for sure
they sleeping on his greatness for sure 😴
Watching him at city you'd see a lot of times that the player who provided the assist got the ball from Silva
you know ball sir 🫡
His technique and dribbling was on a different level 💯
yup 🔥 a magician fr 🪄
He is extremely underrated. He really is perfect for his nickname of "El mago" ( The magician).
he truly is 🪄
As a Man United fan I always felt that the signing of Silva was *the* turning point, not Tevez, not Aguero, Yaya or even KDB, it was Silva. KDB has perhaps slightly eclipsed him now but it wouldn’t have happened without Silva, not at City anyway.
Robinho transfer made me notice Man city but David Sliva kept me watching Man city he was elegant beyond words
Robinho was wild 🤣
nah man, in that time Villa and Silva where my greatest idols. So stylish
Pure ballers 🔥
Davy silva is a god damn certified G, C'MON CITY
A CERTIFIED G FOR SURE 🫡
Make a vid on Bergkamp
💪🏾
I have to 🫡 🧊
Silva was my favourite player at city before KDB
I wish that i got into football earlier, to have watched that Spanish side dominate.
Hey raymar I love you contents and i have being watching them from 2020 . And I like the development of the channel. Would you mind if you make a comparizion video about Modric and Kroos and Xavi and Inesta. As a madradista I like kroos and Modric but when people say they are better than xavi and inesta it makes me sad, yeah sure their longevity is questionable but i do think they have the better prime interms of playstyle and the impact they have done in spanish football is huge. I hope you see this comment and you make a content about it.
Xavi
Kroos
Iniesta
Modric
In that order.
much love brother ❤️ truly means a lot, and that sounds interesting, I’ll definitely have to think of a way to do ut
The only order is
Iniesta
Xavi
Kross
Modric
@@IamDonRoyal Ain't no way Iniesta comes ahead of Xavi, ain't no way. Xavi literally had the best peak of any midfielder in the 21st century.. his 08-12 span was magnificent... Scoring, assisting, creating, controlling games,big game performances, finished in the ballondor podium rightly so 3 times... Pre 08 which alot of people try to shade Xavi on, he was the more consistent & played player out of both.
as a real madrid fan i reamember him i city he was my favorite city player of all time, i want him in madrid
would have loved to see him there too tbh, would have gotten more respect than he does now
Wish him and Aguero were younger when pep joined these guys were generational talents
Yup, with more trophies they would have been so much more respected by casuals
I don’t think we’re ever gonna see a midfield more stacked than Spain 2008-2012.
David Silva in that Valencia team was the first time I became aware of his genius. Vicente - Silva - Joaquin behind David Villa was deadly. The rest of the team was pretty decent and they should've won more trophies.
Dont forget a young Mata! If they were all in their primes they def could have taken some from barca and madrid
@@RaymarFootball Ah yes! How could I forget! Mata was Silva's replacement in the playmaker role when he was sold. Now that I think of it, Silva replaced Aimar, one of my favourite playmakers. Three great playmakers passing the torch over the years, Valencia were lucky to have them behind one of the most lethal strikers ever in Villa.
Again, should've won more with that forward line, but then again, I guess that's why they always say; defense wins you trophies. If only they could have added quality to play alongside Canizares and Ayala because they were pretty good defensively, if I remember correctly.
Pep said David Silva was better than Iniesta in the pockets behind the forwards, he said he was the best player he has ever managed who played just behind the forwards.
He’s the reason I became a City supporter. Absolute class
Same here...my personal best player ever....id choose him over cr7 or messi aswell...just an unpopular opinion!!
the magician for a reason 🪄
The player that made me love football
the magician 🪄
The most underrated player of that generation was not even Silva, but SANTI CARZOLA
he deserves a video too
David (Silva and Villa) were underrated
Gold mine of midfielders
This is why it's called silva ware 😂
🤣🤣🤣
he was a master of time and space, he could slow down time or speed it up as he desired. it was brilliant watching him play
true ball knowledge sir 🤝
D.Silva is underrated so much. 90% dribbler as iniesta and 90% playmaker as xavi.
perfectly said brother
One of my fav TH-camr is back with banger video keep it up brother ❤❤❤ and yes DAVID SILVA is freaking god mode midfield respect guys respect please!!!!!
much love brother ❤️ really appreciate all the love and support
Had he played for Real he’d be much better ranked/rated. And Real actually wanted him before Modric, and before he went to city. Fantastic player.
It's unfair how much midfield talent spain is just blessed with. It's a privilege to witness these guys.
they were too OP 😂
My fav player ever..D.Silva......so underrated dnt know why
lack of PR, lowkey personality, early Man City days, etc
That Spanish team was so great, many of their players went unnoticed. Xabi Alonso is hardly brought up in the conversation with respect to that team!
youre right brother, but I think Xabi Alonso gets talked about much more than Silva
You should do Eden hazard , I love these
I have to 🫡
No one ever doubted Silva, just the fair weather fan.
I still say silva > KDB I don’t care, that trio of Silva Aguero and Toure nearly made me turn to the blue side of Manchester when I was around 9-11 honestly those years of Man Utd when SAF left when I was 8 was the most tempting for me to choose the the blue side honestly and no one would’ve blamed at that time cause I was a kid but I decided to stay loyal at united so for me it’s Toure than Silva than KDB I don’t care what no one says 🙌🏽🙌🏽
you can say anything but the reality is kdb is best player in history man city and also the beat midfielder in history premier league. + top 2 assist in history premier league and only midfielder in history winning 2player of the season and 66+ awards (kdb clear silva all day but silva was more baller )
@@jayminwoo David Beckham
@@weihuatang171 he's not close to de bruyne only scholes and giggs from stats
@@jayminwoo I think KDB is better than all of them, besides giggs is a world class winger than a MC
@@weihuatang171 but remember giggs player more 20 years in premier league but kdb is only 9years and he's now in top 2 assist in history
One of the all time best attacking midfielders. And he proved you dont need to be big to play in the PL, also ending any debate what Messi would have done in the PL at the time
If you can plsss do one on Al Owairan 🔥🔥🔥
I’ll have to add it to the list bro 🫡
I always thought he was one of the best. Never realised he was underrated or unrecognised.
the poll I did shows most people don’t recognize how good he was 😶
I would love to see a video on Federico Valverde The Engine of Real Madrid💖💪
The bold david silva is goated🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
true😂 but that was so weird to watch
He avoids the media like the plague and lets his art speak for itself. The goat midfielder of all time El Mago
very good point
Silva was a magician,
Another underrated magician is santi cazorla
true I need to talk about him too 🫡
That thumbnail is straight disrespect. Silva was not on either of their level let alone both of them at the same time
Umm… he definitely was at their level. Not better, but right under them. His numbers for spain are better, and he played better for longer in a harder league. I dont think Xavi could do what he did in City without Iniesta next to him, even though he’s better than Silva.
The fact that KDB won that poll is insane
😂 yeah, KDB is on his way but it should have been a lot closer. Just proves how underrated Silva is
Can you make a video about Andriy Shevchenko pleaseee🔥🙏🏽
I need so for sure 🫡
@@RaymarFootball thanksssss 🔥
He’s playing style is sooo similar to Messi 😮😊
He would have got more recognition if he had PR of Barca or Madrid
true 🤣
NEED A VIDEO ON PAUL SCHOLES, PUT RESPECT ON SCHOLES NAME. HE WAS BETTER THAN ALL 3 COMBINED.
DEFINITELY BROTHER 🫡
Silva what a baller
a magical baller 🪄
Imagine prime Messi and Silva playing together 😮
You need to do one with isco
I was thinking of actually hehe
I really want to edit your videos at high quality mate.
Can you make about Malaysian footballer? #3
