Just when Ronaldo thought he knew how to speak English.

Messi: doesnt know english --> confused Ronaldo: knows english --> more confused

Man low-key combined literature, politics and sport in a speech and left everyone speechless, meanwhile people making fun of him.

Teacher: "Don't worry. The English exam won't be that hard." The English exam:

Tbf the guy asked him what's going through your mind he was just being honest

He was asked... ‘what’s going on through your mind right now?’ He was just being honest

“As flies to wanton boys are we to the gods; They kill us for their sport.” A quote from King Lear play by Shakespeare… Honestly, at first I thought Cantona lost his mind. With a little research I realized how genius this speech was. He is taking shots at FIFA or whatever ruling establishment

'As flies to wanton boys, we are for the Gods. They kill us for the sport. Soon the science will not only be able to slow down the ageing of the cells, soon the science will fix the cells to the state, and so we become eternal. Only accidents, crimes, wars will still kill us. But unfortunately, crimes, and wars will multiply. I love football.'

Honestly that cut to Messi and Ronaldo is sublime comedy.

Its pretty clear that he´s talking about Man U and that they should go back to a 4-4-2 formation

greatest speech of all times, considering context, meaning and view of the future. A true genius of our age

“As flies to wanton boys, we are to the gods. They kill us for the sport.” Is the most perfect quote for this situation.

Messi's earpiece translator: *sweating nervously*

When my wife asks me where I've been all night...

As years go by. This speech makes more and more sense.

The speech was 3 years ahead of its time.

This is the kind of speech I make to my bosses when they ask me why I haven't turned up for work all week.

Me trying to explain, why I'm not the impostor in Among Us:

What a speech, what a man what a legend.

Its amazing how one man can be such a poet , even in being completely non fluent in english.... what an absolute masterpiece of a human the cells and the amebas created right here... Long live the King!

Cantona: Crime, Science, Walls. Cr7 face: What??? Cantona: I love football

he is genius. He disses Fifa/Uefa in front of their faces and nobody understood. The first thing he says is a quote from King Lear btw

Imagine a conversation between him and Kanye. Legendary 🤣

His final sentiment. I cry. I love this speech. Will only age better amd better.

Messi’s earpiece translator: *Reads a chapter from the bible instead in Spanish*

In other words he's going to raid Area 51

Honestly one of the greatest speeches oat, even though it was weird, everyone that watched this moment live remembers it.

The legend took " What's in your mind right now " quite literally and said what's in his mind

Ronaldo’s reaction kills me every time 😂 He looks legitimately terrified that Eric is about to do something

Cantona quoting Shakespeare at UEFA awards who knew this day would come!!

Came back to watch this again. This speech ages like fine wine. It makes more sense as time passes. The look of confusion at 1:05 was so funny it became a meme

This man knows much more than he is able to really say.

This man was talking about Coronavirus the entire time

Never ask Eric Cantonna what's going through his mind, this reporter learned it first hand

Man m laughing for a hour continuously by reading all the legit comments and appreciating their creativity 😂😂😂😂😂 u guys are real goat🐐🐐

The fact that I got to witness this live (online from Asia) still amazes me

He spent 20min with Maradona before coming to the UEFA draw

This speech was ahead of its time. I understand now what it means with the creation of the super league.

LEGEND CANTONA

It’s 2022 and more relevant than ever

Couldn't have said it any clearer, totally agree with Eric ;)

We really need a VAR replay for this one :-)

Me doing the presentation that I prepared on the last minute :-

Utterly brilliant! A poet on and off the field, there will only be one Cantona...

He's speaking the language of the gods

Eric Cantonna is a genius. Man just quoted Shakespeare and no one in the audience had any clue.

Thanks for the motivation i understood all of it your a legend cantona

It's been years since I saw this first, but still gives me time to laugh. The look in their faces is priceless.

Teacher: The test won't be that hard First Question on the test: 0:08

He got enlightened. He knows the absolute truth of the world.

That Ronaldo face gets me everytime 😂 i love football

Proof that saying something and meaning something are different

Nedved knows what he's talking about

"As flies to wanton boys we are for the Gods, they kill us for the sport. Soon the science will not only be able to slow down the aging of the cells, soon the science will fix the cells to the state, and so, we will become eternal. Only accidents, crimes, wars will still kill us. But unfortunely, crimes and wars will multiply. I love football." The Gods, FIFA and UEFA, kills players for the sport. They feed and profit on the dreams of those too young to realize how replaceable they are. As Idols are created and made eternal, more dreams will be born. More people will be exploited, and those made eternal, will keep being exploited, until they've nothing left to give. I love football.

I'm watching it again today and It hurts 😞 16/09/2023

Hits different now. Man was ahead of time

“What’s going on in your mind right now?” “When the seagulls follow the trawler...”

Eric Cantona: Says random stuff, then says "I love football" Everyone else: *C L A P*

What a speech

Confusion and Brilliance both at the peak at the same time.

2 years after this brilliant speech, the European Super League will begin. Cantona is the Oogway of football, he foretold the end. "They kill us for the sport", yes they killed us the fans.

Messi is the luckiest man there, cause he doesn't know English..

Beyond fútbol... Cantona!! what a class act.

Perfectly explains B'dor 2021.

When the King speaks, even the Goats listen...

Love how he just skips formalities and jumps straight into King Lear. "As flies to wanton boys, we are for the Gods. They kill us for the sport.” Wrong crowd....

The damn smile on Nedved at the applause says it all

It feels that he knows the past, but also has been to the future, got an insight and went back. So he became very sad, but the ine thing, which prevents him from fading away, is his beloved sport. Never saw such a great moment in any movie or novel.

I love the 5 second pause after he finishes where everyone tries to process what’s just happened

0:46 CR7 is like: "Yeah, sounds good. Where can I sign up for becoming eternal?"

All I can say he's wright without questions 👏🏻

Think when he said 'whats going through your mind' he took it seriously

That guy at the end of the video looks confused he just claps

Well in his defense he did ask him what's on his mind

This speech was ahead of its time.

I f***-ing love, Eric Cantona. The King. He is so much more than the incredible, immense footballer that he was. He is beyond. I'm privileged to walk the earth at the same time as he does.

Eric is the real GOAT. None of the audience could fathom what he was saying. . . He floored them all

This speech actually makes a lot of sense now. The European Super League was in the plans then, and it is killing the traditions of the sport

Brilliant Cantona, gave me chills.

3 years later this is still the finest video on KZfaq.

That's it, we need a tarantino movie about Eric Cantona, with Eric Cantona in the main role.

Man: Gives Cantona the award thirty seconds later: "And so we become eternal"

Cantona has the ability to be extraordaniry in a ordinary situation 💪🏻💯

"Soon the science will fix the cells to the state and so we would become eternal, only accidents, crimes war will still kill us but unfortunately crimes and wars will multiply I love football" greatest speech ever❤

̶T̶r̶a̶n̶s̶c̶r̶i̶p̶t̶:̶ Translation: «As flies to wanton boys we are to the gods. [Shakespeare reference] They kill us for the sport. Soon the science will not only be able to slow down the aging of the cells; soon the science will fix the cells to the state. And so we become eternal. Only accidents, crimes, wars will still kill us. But unfortunately crimes and wars will multiply. I love football.»

In other words: Slavia Praha are screwed

I'm smiling for myself everytime I go into this video. Epic.

what a legend

Cantona is a misunderstood genius. (From a Liverpool fan)

Wenn i See all this reactions, its remaind me to Nitzsche when he said: „The dancers were thought to be crazy by those who could not hear the music.“

This will never get old 😂😂

Again. Eric was ahead of his time and again seagulls will follow the trawler! GGMU!

1:04 The guy sitting next to Nedved is probably like: "dafuq did i just hear?!?" XDD

1:03 the guy next to nedved lmao

He quoted Shakespeare - King Lear and criticized die UEFA on their own stage rounding it up with the clear relation to football he is brilliant.

I respect him so much because after queston about what hapening in your mind, he answered honestly

"those who criticize him, dont know him well" - zinadine zidane. The guy who turn EPL from stone age into golden age

The middle guy's face at 1:05 sums it up

He is speaking faxxx but it is just our brains cannot process it in the right way

I love that guy.
