DAVID BECKHAM

Pirlo

@@Seballs666 long passing is different to de bruynes passing. Kdb creates mostly from crosses or through balls and heading and running past the defence are lukakus strong points

@@blackhammer7415 As a United supporter nothing but respect for Pirlo, world class passer from deep even better than Scholesy I'd say but Paul could do a job playing advanced so he had more variety in his duties over the years

@@tnt9126 Pirlo was a 10 to start with, he was converted into a deep player.. he could do both. However, Scholes is my pick. In his time there was Seedorf, Gerrard, Xavi, Iniesta, Pirlo, Alonso, Keane, Modric, Viera and many many more. Having seen all those players play I wouldn't say any were better than Scholes. He gave the ball away two or three times in a game towards the end of his career at Utd and it was surreal, after 15 or so years at the club I'd never seen it happen.

What about alonso, you a mank?

Registered Trademark Alonso is clear of him

@@vaitalv9361 LOOOOL Alonso is literally a Scholes fan boy

Alonso is way better

그만큼 신나시는거지

No no scholes king class Xabi noob

@@user-tk1fg2xe7w Shh adults talking

@@user-tk1fg2xe7w shut up 🤫 kid

Scholes trash

@@user-tk1fg2xe7w I know scholes is awesome but how can you call the other one noob, dude you are high!!

make it 3 . he had Özil

@@mitulsolanki9497 exactly bro

and now he have to play with that juve midfield

Alonso and Scholes passes are more oriented to open the game so they help assisters to assist more than goalscorers to score, otherwise just tell me how many assists they both have 😉

@@aminebh966 Bruh thoose passes creates dangerous chances... The midfield ain't thoose who assist the most only creating space and chances normally

from one of the greatest tributes I've ever seen

Xavi didnt even mention Scholes when say who Englands greatest players ever were But he did mention Gerrard and Lampard Even scholes himself said Gerrard was better than him......

@@elina897 Where's your source? And let me remind u that Scholes has 10 Pl title while Gerrard has none and even Manchester United Flop Anderson got 3 Pl medal. Have a good day.

@@isaaccolney1897 It was a live interview BBC 5 Utd fans thinking im lyong😭😭😭

@@isaaccolney1897 Yep thank you for telling me that Messi>CR7 Keita is better than Bruno Keita has a ucl and prem btw so thanks for confirming that Brewster>Greenwood👍

Another fact: scholes is the highest rated player in FIFA 2001(95) only 2 midfirelder reached this mark one is Zidane, another is scholes

@@varun9346 yes so true👍

Another funny fact Pele said Saudi Arabia will win the World Cup when he visited them & I’m sure he’ll say the same when he goes to India. The bottom line is nice to give a praise from players when they are asked about a player of course they have to respectfully say nice things even if aren’t they true

@@DR-uq4hn zidane is also a fan of scholes bro that's why scholes quality

@@DR-uq4hn the difference is pele is crazy there's no way saudi is winning the world cup and india can't even qualify for the wc

Xabi Alonso> scholes at long passing

@@victorkolawole1835 scholes passes land exactly on your foot while you’re running 🤣

@@hazzaboy001 so true🔥

@@victorkolawole1835 nah. Its close but Scholes still more accurate

That's beckham

Kroos is in top 5 progressor by passing from many years. I don't know if u've seen his passes but if a forward makes runs he delivers the ball straight to his feet. He's created more chances than any other CM in past few years. Infact compare Xabi Alonso's seasons in Bayern to Kroos's in RM in same time period Kroos has created double the chances while having 20% more long pass accuracy. Doing long passes for sake of it isn't being great but doing them when u see a fault in defensive line is. So he's already surpassed Xabi Alonso. About his horizontal passes, they aren't horizontal but diagonal to wings to take the sting out of opposition press and eventually give forwards more time on ball or create gaps in centre.

@@aakashdeep2298 when Alonso moved to Bayern it was at the end of his career after his best days have passed. You can’t compare Bayern Alonso to prime Kroos. You are comparing Alonso’s worst days with Kroos’s best days. Alonso used to take more risks when passing vertical passes. Kroos, not so much. Most of the time he plays it safe and not too daring when passing vertically. We’ve seen the best version of Alonso in the 2012 season.

@@2sunami Well I can't do anything if stats only started becoming available after 2014. And Xabi controlled Bayern like his peak years, Pep wouldn't play him if he wasn't performing at world class level, he's pushing out Aguero and did the same to David Silva, but kept Xabi Alonso. U can take as many risks as u want but unless there's an opening it's a wasted ball. Look at Xavi, put it a ball when there was an opening, never forced a pass. Better to play it like Xavi & Kroos, overload 1 side and play a diagonal to open wing and cross from there or do a 1-2 and create chance. There's a big reason why RM has been so successful with Kroos, and Barca with Xavi, coz they rarely ever gave a bad ball, every pass is tactical & meaningful rather than risky & hopeful.

@@aakashdeep2298 You are talking as if Alonso was some amateur player and passer. Alonso was a key player in the 2010 Spanish national team that won the world cup and two Euros and his passes were pin point to the teeth and all his passes were critical and meaningful. In fact, Real Madrid won La Decima before Kroos’s arrival and Xabi Alonso was the maestro of that team. I remember in those days, alarm bells would ring in Real Madrid if Alonso was injured, because he was the balance point of the whole team and without him, the team had a very hard time. They play two different positions anyway and this is borderline comparing apples and oranges. Alonso is a defensive midfielder and Kroos is a left centre midfielder. Alonso has superior deep playmaking abilities and that’s a fact. Alonso is superior defensively and that’s a fact. Alonso had superior long ball passes and that’s a fact. They are somewhat equal in their ball possession abilities. And talking about Alonso’s Bayerns days, yes Guardiola depended on him a lot. And that was Alonso in his decline and way passed his prime, but his quality and class was still present. So can you imagine how good prime Alonso was? He was 10 times better than Bayern Alonso.

@@2sunami I never said he was some amateur, he was one of the best holding mids. His long balls were very good. Ur judgement is way too clouded to even have this discussion. Kroos has surpassed Xabi Alonso in long balls, creativity, and in ball possession. He's creating much more chances than another DLP, e.g Thiago even before this season. And no they don't play very different positions, makes me think u've never seen Kroos. Kroos drops back with CB to make a back 3 with Casemiro as DM or makes a double pivot with Modric while Casemiro moves up. Kroos makes most of his plays from deeper positions like Xabi. Did u see Liverpool 1st leg, that's his usual position, as deep as a DMF. It's easy to say LCM, but he's a regista not a box to box or an advanced CM.

Exactly! The best passes are the ones that makes the receiver go forward creating space without losing speed. Just run forward the ball will be in front you type of thing. Scholes is better in doing that.

What highlight did you watch dude?

Naah!! Xabi alonso is pure classe !!

Scholes could find my dad with a pass who’s been out buying milk since I was six

@@ay6033 what?! XD

Me too (United fan). They were both pretty special. I never realised how good Alonso was at long passing.

I'm a simple man, I see a good comment on scholes, I like

Alonso was CRAZY good. He is kind of underrated cause during his prime Xavi and Iniesta were in their primes too. Being the 3rd option in Spain National Team made people feel like he wasnt on the same level

@@yourbro2719 Spain midfielder was sooooo good... Thats why Xabi Alonso, Sergio Busquets, Juan Mata, Cesc Fabregas etc were so underrated. Xavi and Iniesta were the best, but not only them. For me, Xabi Alonso and Sergio Busquets (for example) were very underrated, because they were awesome players too but nobody talks a lot about them. The same thing happens to other Spanish midfielders like: Santi Cazorla, Mikel Arteta or Cesc Fabregas (Esential keys in the same top club, Arsenal) Thiago Alcantara (One of the bests in Bayern de Munchen) Juan Mata or Ander Herrera (Man United), David Silva (Manchester City)... That was crazy.

Both are awesome. But the target is not the same ;) Pirlo = in a position of defensive midfielder, he makes long-pass over the defense, the ball goes directly to the striker --> vertical game. X. Alonso = he moves back almost in a central defender position, makes a very long-pass which goes to the wingers --> enlarge the game. That's why Pirlo has done more decisive passes in his carrer, but X. Alonso's ones are even more longer. Btw, both of them are so much skilled, that the difference of long-pass quality between X. Alonso and Pirlo (and Scholes too!) is imperceptible.

it's Xabi

@@Edouard81100 pirlo is a deep play maker also Called. Registrar he’s not a cdm

Also he control whole game for united

MUFC 20 like xavi did for Barcelona

Is magic

Damn

Pure class

That is pure instinct my brother

Half volley pass on a six pence,bad foot and back to goal to break the defensive high line! Hit with medical precision.

Really this pass shortens everything and says who is the best ❤

phenomenal assist. anyone know what game that is? seems to be against pompey but can't workout when

Indeed, but one one under Scholes. There is no debate.

@@arryrocks9167 Xabi and Scholes is always gonna be close for me

But Scholes happens to rise above them all...

@@arryrocks9167 nope. They are all great but my personal preference is Xavi

@@milkyway3278 That's fair, my bias will always go to the Ginger Prince. Surely you are like me and no one will change your mind.

@@arryrocks9167 ginger Prince? Whose that bro? It more to style of play and tactics.

@@milkyway3278 If you have to ask well, don't know what to say. If you think they're products of systems you could probably say that for Scholes since he only played for United. Alonzo played for more than one club. I guess what you're inferring is that each club designed it's play and tactics around him.

Alonso passes are longer

May be but Gerrard was a level above Alonso.

Forgot italian defending.

true

I don’t think he was but he was close. I still think Iniesta was the best out of 3

Because scholes passing was out of this world

Gerrard’s passing very often gets overlooked because of how good his shooting was

You wish you were 'laughing jurgen'

Gerrard long passing were so dangerous, most of his long passing were directly threatening to the opposition defenders and GKs
