Most footballers don’t play for 25 seasons, let alone score a goal in each and every single one of them. However, Claudio Pizarro isn’t like most footballers. A legend at both Bayern Munich and Werder Bremen, his illustrious Bundesliga career includes innumerable records.
He is Werder Bremen's all time record goal scorer with 151 out of 301 matches. The Bundesliga's oldest goal scorer at 40 years and 135 days. Pizarro scored in 20 consecutive Bundesliga seasons. But most importantly, Pizarro is loved by supporters at both Werder Bremen and Bayern Munich, despite the two clubs having quite a strong rivalry. The stuff of legends!

How old are u? Because i remember correctly when claudio would miss a bunch of peruvian games because he would "injure himself" all the time right before a game. Or when he would go to peru he would always get caught drinking the night before at clubs. Always, and he would bring the young players with him to drink late nights. But he didnt do that in germany cuz he made the big bucks there.

@gigasmol 2 жыл бұрын

@@0piero01 come on man accusing players of faking injuries? Was his performance the same as when he played in Germany, no. Unfortunately in my opinion, Pizarro played the worst position an elite player can play when surrounded by below average players. Pizarro is a true striker, he’s not gonna build the play and finish it himself. Lewandowski has the same issue internationally so he tries to play more of an attacking mid and is not nearly as impressive.

@gigasmol 2 жыл бұрын

@@0piero01 as for the partying, the whole team partied. Including the coaches lol. They party to this day. It seems that people only cared when Pizarro partied. We have players that have pretty much thrown careers away from too much partying and we choose the one player that has succeed and choose him as an example? Sounds backwards

In germany he isn't underated at all... everyone here knows him and everyone loves him Most foreign players are mercenarys (no offence) but pizarro loved the clubs he played he played with heart and he loved the fans as much as they loved him. Even to this day Claudio Pizarro and Giovanne Elber are by far the most respected non-german players which ever played in the bundesliga they just don't have any haters here. Even i love them and i'm a wolfsburger and both of them scored tons of goals against us. :)

Seems as if German football is somewhere in the back of everyone involved in football in England - especially at Copa90. Adding to the Ailton clip, the Grafite-Dzeko clip (where you somehow forgot to value the role of Misimovic appropriately?!?!?) and the "Wow, the DfB Pokal is actually a great competition, how come we never knew this???" surprise, this is the next instance of, well, false expectations due to being misinformed but suffering from the "thinking to be an expert in EVERYTHING football related"-version of the ever-present Dunning-Kruger Effect... In the Bundesliga and among its followers, Claudio "Pizza" Pizarro is certainly a legend, a hero, a role model and one of its best know players, and that counts over the now 58 years of Bundesliga competition. And he has that status for many reasons: his playing ability to start with, but also his seeming ability to play world class football at the two most opposite clubs of the league as well as his unbelivable ability to "play one more year, since the team is short on strikers" and then even scoring multiple goals at age 40+ all the while being one of those players that everybody likes or loves and nobody hates or dislikes (unless he scores against you, but even then...). The title of this video only makes sense to someone who does not know the Bundesliga but only sees Bayern, BVB or the odd other team in Champions League games. Come one Copa90 - is that you self-set standard or are you slowly but surely turning to yellow-press tactics and start to slowly disown the actual competency you have in bringing football knowledge, football fandom and solid journalism together to create an interesting yet meaningful product and service?

They are the only Peruvian club in the world that has been never relegated, and they together with Sporting Cristal are the only ones in Peru to reach a Copa Libertadores final

Success (the opposite of failure) is the status of having achieved and accomplished an aim or objective. Being successful means the achievement of desired visions and planned goals. ... The dictionary describes success as the following: “attaining wealth, prosperity and/or fame”. Personally i think and strongly believe that if any winning does not go along with the impact on people that winning itself does not equals to success. Therefore, the guy in this video is correct.

@ArtTV2406 Жыл бұрын

@@raulvalverde6979 bro when we talk about success in football the money doesn’t care, cares the titles, the good matches but Alianza Lima hasn’t any of that on titles is overcome by Universitario, Universitario has never been relegated, but alianza yes, good matches all clubs have but Alianza has the worst streak in Copa Libertadores . 30 matches without winning , 10 years. So if we talk about success in football the least that comes to mind is MONEY, Money doesn’t give you success just take a look to PSG or Manchester City
