Juventus bought Nedved from Lazio for 45 million Euros in 2001 and that is the equivalent of 4.5 million grams of gold. Today the price of 1 gram of gold is 50 euros, so Nedved's price today is 225 million euros.

Under appreciated? He won the ballon d'or 🤣

@@nathanielliddy638 He totally deserved it. He carried Juve hard in that 2003 UCL campaign. And just hypothetically: if he won 2 Euros and an UCL, most people would view him as the GOAT CM, he was that good. But just like Baggio or Ballack he was extremly unlucky in the big moments.

@@ursula3438 I totally agree. I was just saying that I don't think he is under appreciated

@@nathanielliddy638 If he had won the champions league people will say hes better than modric

@TheGiorgi7 Sometimes loyality is the biggest thing you can ever get.

@TheGiorgi7 what did Zidane give to Juve? CL? or what ? Nedved knocked Zidane's Madrid out of CL. Buffon stayed with Juve in the darkest of times. idiot.

Same, I had the Juve jersey (+ Del Pierro’s).

@@Tukkerrandy I had his Lazio, Juve and national team jersey. I also let my hair grew like his. And i taught myself using the left foot because of him.

its funny that Raul is my favorite player and Nedved is my 2nd best XD i still ahve his NO 11 shirt for over 10 years

Vieri (Nedved's teammate at Lazio) was my idol, then Del Piero. When Nedved retired I realized just how much I had not given him due recognition in his playing days.

Whats the connection.. me too... nedved, raul nd batistuta

I remember him being a goal machine. Mainly the long shots and free kicks. Very old faint memories though. The guy was like KDB except faster.. and better.. at like everything.

Kaka

@@ErzaTsuruya-hn4vm Kaka was a great player. I was a fan of him, but he played more as an attacking midfielder and even more often as a shadow striker.

There's a reason Matthäus, Nedved and Modric are the only CMs to win the Ballon D'Or in the last 30 years. When I think of a complete midfielder, I think of those 3.

I relive that moment from time to time. I remember my school friends all rooting for Real, most of them had Real's shirts (Raul, Guti, Casillas). I was the only one with a Nedved shirt. That night I was ecstatic. Finally, I could go to another P.E. with more pride than ever.

He wasn't that fast, but he had good pace, I'd say 8/10 or even a solid 7. He had good acceleration... But the best thing about him was his endless stamina and he could run forever, do as much sprints as he wanted too and roam wherever he wanted. A very efficient dribbler, a very efficient passer (I'd definitely rate his passing higher than pace), efficient technique... He was one of the best players in the world imo since 2002 to 2006. Basically consisntently put out 8/10 performances, always performed. Scored many crucial goals, always pushed his team, always created something... Always worked defensively to win the ball when his team didn't have it. An incredible player. You simply don't have that nowadays, although the recent managers would love him because of his defensive work rate and pressing.

His dribbling was 10/10 and his pace was 7/10

@@zombievikinggaming4258 R9 was a 10/10 dribbler, Maradona, Messi, Ronaldinho, Robben too... Nedved was a 8/10 I'd say.

I appreciate this is late on but it’s relative to me after just watching… if you threw those factors out what would you be left with? How would it differentiate between the players? They would most end up with equal scores. It clear that they are both relevant. After all put Messi and Ronaldo up against each other and they would both score top marks in all. But trophies would prove Ronaldo is the GOAT. Ballon d’ors are all very well and great but Ronaldo trumps trophies and achievements / records held. Not by much but still. Also playing for more clubs and the achievements with those. Again not by much but Ronaldo still takes it. Yes irrelevant when you talk personal favourites as we all have one over the other despite being blessed with a generation with both. So it should stay

And just to add a niggling point… you might rate Nedved higher than beckham but that’s you and others who may support him. It’s still a personal preference because beckham was neither lucky or reliant on celebrity. What he may take incon factor he losses in overall trophies. But still amazing and still relevant. Having those two factors give something more tangible that can be reflected on that doesn’t relay on personal opinion of the author. It takes actual achievements into account and the opinion of the mass market regardless celeb status or influence. They are both relevant. I had the same thoughts as you don’t get me wrong as personally I rate Nedved extremely high for example as well as Figo. Figo was one of the greatest but my man is right. Outside of português and there is not a lot of recalling his influence as say there is Zidane, Beckham, Raul at Madrid. Or Ronaldo Phenom at Barca. So I get it.

@@publicrelations9612 I simply have to disagree. Beckham or Rooney were never considered the very top world players. Everyone who lived and watched footbal back then, knows that it was Schevchenko, Figo, Nedved, Zidane, Maldini etc. that were considered the world's top players. Players like Beckham, Lampard, Gerrard were never in that category, even though Beckham was still better than the other two. So I must disagree. Number of club trophies or fame (icon factor) can never determine how great the player was. That would make the third greatest player ever out of Neymar, greatest ever fighter out of McGregor and greatest amateur boxer ever out of Jake Paul. Number of trophies would make Carvajal and Seedorf better players than Maradona, Totti, Zidane, Ronaldo9 etc. It's not personal opinion that Nedved was bettera and it's not about trophies or fame. Those who watched footbal back then know how was which player viewed back then and Nedved was always taken as one of the world's best, while Beckham was great player that was overrated back then and now is underrated, but he was never considered to be world's top. His longevity was good though.

Yes most of them might end up with similar score. All the more reason why having these two categories is nonsense. Just because most of them would have similar score, you would add two completely irrelevant categories that just mess up everything? One single point can make huge difference and that's why these two categories are irrelevant. Having one great player without trophies getting overcome by a worse player with either trophies or fame, that's simply injustice. It makes no sense. We rate the players for how great players they were, not how famous they are now or in how good clubs they played for. If anything, they could be judged for individual trophies, but not club trophies.

@@damasek219 yes but you are saying it should be disregarded. I’m saying it shouldn’t. I’m not saying it’s the only thing I just think they should be included as are relevant along with the other factors. And of course it’s personal opinion. For one we can compare many players like for like as playing styles, roles and exact positions are absolute factors. So is Zidane a better midfielder than Figo? Yes and no based on those factors mentioned. That’s the reality of it. They had different games and different roles in midfield. In fact worked well together. But this is rating the GOAT factor and isn’t pitting them against each other in competition. That element is personal opinion. The same as you believing Nedved is the better player between Rooney (a striker) and Beckham. It’s absolutely personal opinion. Doesn’t make you wrong but we may just disagree. People in general don’t remember Figo in the same way they remember Zidane that’s just the way it is. Does it mean Zidane was a better player? No as stated different positions and roles in reality but people also have an instant option on that so it is subjective. The reason why they have an instant opinion comes down to icon factor. So it has some relevance. Also when I say people I don’t mean everyone but in general. I just can’t understand how you can say trophies don’t play a factor either. It’s not all or nothing. But it is a difference that has some relevance that’s all.

Litmanen he was good for two seasons. michael laudrup was worth making a film about. I'm just saying 5-0 5-0

that team .. and the comback against the team from netherland .. which was the clear favorite to win the `04 EU championship.. where the czech turned the 0:2 into a 3:2 was one of the best games ive ever watched! and fun fact .. in that era between 2004-06 the czech team was ranked no.1 which is impressive for such a small country where football isnt even the no.1 sports! its icehokey if im right!

Platini?

​@@theodorekell he said one of the best

Oh man he's definitely better than figo and costa, but he isn't better than zidane and this isn't his fault. Zidane and ronaldo are something else in the world of football.

@@iman7j887 Bro Nedved has better goal per game average in champion league than Zidan that played attacking midfielder, meanwhile nedved was plane midfielder. I genuinely think Nedved was far more complex player with better attributes than Zidane, Only aspect of game where is Zidane better is dribbling. Otherwise Nedved comes on top in all the other aspects, especially kicking power speed and durability.

You are right, Nedved gets a bad rep because he comes from a country which, sadly, is not seen as "glamorous". Many footballers from central Europe suffer from this image (very wrongly so for me), when the likes of Nedved, Shevchenko or Modric win the Ballon d'Or they suffer so much criticism. In terms of media and PR there is the perception that it's "better" if a player like Henry wins, even though Nedved and Sheva deserved just as much.

Yeah… Players from Slavic countries are so underrated.

Nedved hit the bar against van dar sar. the bar was shaking afterwards .incredible game

This guy would score the craziest goals. And consistently. Much better than the tap in merchants of today.

Oh yes. Diego Forlan and Diego Milito, two greats people just don't talk about enough.

Even he said himself that he thought Henry was deserving of it when he won it. The people who believe that Nedved robbed Henry aren’t deluded, not in the slightest

@@excellenceincarnate8748 He said that because he's respectful. That doesn't mean he didn't deserve it. Only deluded Thierry Henry fans think so.

@@damasek219 look, i personally don’t think that Nedved stole the ballon d’or from Henry, and im saying that as an Arsenal fan. However, most people who say that Henry deserved it aren’t entirely delusional, as in all honesty, Henry had one of his best statistical years of his long and illustrious career, and the premier league was a madness, with the manchester utd v arsenal rivalry in full swing, with both teams having some of the best players some people have ever seen.

@@excellenceincarnate8748 Ok , I take it back. Saying they're deluded is not correct. But they are wrong however. Henry had a great year but he was a striker in a league where the most goals are scored. Nedved was a midfielder in the most defensive and the best league in the world at that time and look at his stats, how many goals he scored. More than Figo or Zidane. He won the trophy with almost 62 points in advance while Henry placed 2nd just by five points before Maldini so it could easily have been Maldini in the second place. Btw, I fell in love with Henry in 2004 but still Nedved was more of a high quality player than Henry for me. Nedved was the top level player for all of his career ever since he started till he quit while Henry somehow rose to the peak, shined brightly for some three four years and then slowly faded so I would say Nedved is greater footballer than Henry, even though I loved Henry at the time and I liked his play more than Nedved's. But who wouldn't, Henry was the highlight player but as I grew up, I realized that there are many important aspects of the game, and in those Nedved was superior.

Don't compare Cobain to a legend like Nedved

😂😂😂😂

Wtf

Someone was bias

@rizek rizek whatttttttt

@@LoyalGio I’m not a fan of Arsenal or Monaco, and I hate Barca, where’s the bias? 🤷‍♂️

Back then the best player was more than who scored the most. Only R9 had the combination of scoring a lot while also being the best all round player. Henry never managed that. Btw during this period of time the Balon do'r was the secondary award to the World Player of The Year. Which in 2003 was won by Zidane. We only returned to the Balon do'r being the main award in 2011.
