As the video noted, Laudrup's strength was his assists (passing). You CANNOT appreciate his game without watching a video that specifically concentrates on his passing. It wasn't just his vision that set him apart. The WEIGHT of his passes was phenomenal. He could do 50 yard passes that whipped past defenders, but then slowed enough that his teammates could shoot on first touch. He was truly a remarkable playmaker.

Laudrup is the greatest midfielder to ever exist

Laudrup had the greatest vision i have ever witnessed, his passing was unmatched too. This video doesnt even do him justice. You have to watch a longer compilation with him to actually appriciate what he really did on the field back then.

The video you watched is informative, but you need to actually watch videos showing his skills and passing to fully appreciate that Laudrup was perhaps the greatest playmaker of all time.

So glad millenials observe this fellow countryman of mine. Here in Denmark Michael Laudrup have never been underrated - on the contrary. I remember a friend of mine back in late 90ies during WC1998 was in the outskirts of Tibet, as remote from civilization as she could get. Then she after a far hike came to a small village which looked abandoned, but heard shouts and noise. In a dilapidated, cold wooden shelter, she found a lot of children aged 6-11 who were sitting watching a WC98 match between Denmark and Nigeria and shouting "LAUUDRUUP!!". So his recognition went as far beyond as it could get and I really don't know in which sleeping world he is considered "underrated". Must be a generation thing. Everyone witnessing Laudrups vision on the playground knew how valuable he was as a playmaker for his teammates.

Michael Laudrup is one of the most underated player ever. Check out the comments from former Barcelona and Real Madrid players. Xavi, Inieasta and even Cruyff called him the best player he ever worked with.

Fun fact! In 1985 Laudrup were voted danish player of the year. The same year danish player Preben Elkjaer came in second at the ballon dor, Laudrup in 4th 😅

Do Preben Elkjær, the Danish striker of the 1980's - crazy skills and goals, and funny as hell. Also the Brazilian player Garrincha was absolutely insane.

Maradona picked Laudrup in his all time XI, that's enough for me 👍

I'm loving these videos mate. I'm 37 and when I was your age I was watching highlight reels of the players I missed from the 60s, 70s and 80s. As I enjoyed watching all these players every week. So it's alot of fun watching learn about the past stars. Keep it up bud. P.s. the hype about Pele is real. Watch him. It's bonkers. Not the best footage. But still. Watching Pele highlights is like enjoying a warm bath.

he was INSANELY good!! his vision was second to none. such a beast, and very elegant too. fun fact when he played for barcelona they beat real madrid 5-0 then he joined real madrid and beat barcelona 5-0 😂😂

Absolutely a genius. He paints the next pass or shot in his mind. The guy is one of the greatest no doubt. Brian wasn’t that bad either 😂

As mentioned Michael Laudrup was the king of passing. Stoichkov, Romario and Samorano all gave him a lot of credit for their goal scoring succes. Iniesta (who took la Croqueta with him from Laudrup) famoulsy have said that the Ballon d'Or is worth nothing since Laudrup didn't win it.

Michael Laudrup one of the most underrated players along with Brian laudrup

Winning the 92 EURO is a real fairy tale. They did a pretty decent movie about it a few years back. Where you get some of the behind the scenes drama as well, which only adds to how impressive it was. "Summer of 92'"

Michelino LAUDRUP uno dei più grandi giocatori nella storia della Lazio.💙🦅, era un mix perfetto tra Cruijff, Zidane e Iniesta.

He was the best midfielder of all-time easy Ajax Barca real. Should have at least two maybe 3 ballan dors

For me He is the best attacking midfielder ever technically, but i am a Dane so❤

Michael Laudrup played his part in Denmark's unexpected triumph at Euro 92 by opting out. With all due respect to coach R.M. Nielsen, who led the national side to their greatest achievement ever, he was never able to make the team work with our greatest footballer in history, proving that you cannot build a team and a way of playing around one sublime player. We Danes will never forget the wonderfully weird and magical summer of 92, nevertheless El Maestro Danés Michael Laudrup was voted the greatest athlete (sic!) in Danish history in 2021, probably because Laudrup always remained very Danish, modest and gentlemanlike on and off the pitch - and because Danes love and know a thing or two about the beautiful game of football.

Michael Laudrup isn't underrated in Denmark. He is widely regarded to be the best danish football player of all time. Michael Laudrup returned to the danish national team and played until he til retied form the team after the 1998 World Cup in which he played amazing.

:-)) Guardiola cried when he left Barcalona :-))

I believe he one the only ones to dominate el classico and never lost one classico and to show he was like that he changement to real and the he dominated Barcelona the following year god tier

underrated? Literally one of the best players the world has ever seen

really lovely video mate great reaction commentry etc shocked when I saw the video only had 1k views

As a kid in the 90's I had a VHS tape with laudrup. It was always an amazing VHS

I love Laudrup - he's one of the greatest playmakers of all time. As for Platini - I hate what he's become but he was unreal as a player.

Platini is obviously a shithead. His latter day sins have sort of erased his playing career in hindsight. But to be blatantly honest, if it weren't for Diego Maradona, he would probably be considered the best player of the 80's overall. He was a HUGE name. When France won the Euro 84, the one man army of Michel Platini scored 9 goals in five matches. Um, he played in midfield as well. Crazy stuff.

TOTALLY AGREE.... INIESTA PROBABLY WATCHED VIDEOS OF HIM🔵🔴

Best midfielder ever put xvai inesta and modric back pocket

We need to get you watching more highlights videos of all these players instead of documentary vids, so that you can see for yourself. The HeilRJ one is the best one for Laudrup. If you watch the highlights vid you’d jaw will hit the floor.

Michael Laudrup is certainly up there with the most underrated players of all-time yes, alongside József Bozsik (though limited football) and Kurt Hamrin.

If he is underrated to some people, it must be because they don’t know too much about him.

Best play maker ever......!

Thierry Henry has said that his favorite player was ML :)

The guy was just so timid, so he never made any fuzz about himself… he’s probably the professional player with the least amount of ego (you need an ego to become professional no matter what). Even though he changed from Barca to Real Madrid, time heals wounds and years past he’s been like worshipped by Spanish football fans for a long time. Spanish football is engrossed in soap opera, he was never a part of anything. Never received a red card.

I know this video is old..but ML's footage is a tiny capsule while u take 2/3 of the screen... Reverse that.😅

When are you going to do a Brian Laudrup video?

world class player in the pele mesi maradona league. only problem was that his from a small country, that dont get far in the big turnements.

🥰

best of the 90¨s smooth like silt. No, realy he was so good , but dont think todays kids would know...

Check out Steve Mcmanaman

Chek out Ruud Gullit .

How is he underrated he is in Barcelona top 11 best players ever.. :D Xavi / Iniesta both say they are heavly inspired by him. I just think you are a young kid and that is why, you dont know him. That does not make him underrated :)

Only behinde Zidan but the best Barcelona team based Theis game of Laudrup i am talking Messi Ronaldinho neymar Xavi iniesta i Can on but that he is danish he couldt never sin a Big national cup even though he came close many times

i am danish lol

He comes from an area where team, litterly meant TEAM : )). football should be fun, so when an "ego" ( a talent) took the ball to much, a talk was made, an if he still vent off his own, he would be kicked from the team. so playing to make each other "good" was the idea, so very socialistic in nature, i think : )) And he was truely one of the goats of all times,,,,,,,,,,,.

IMO you watched the wrong video for a reaction video. Shouldve watched one with just highlights of his goals / skills / passes etc.. That video you watched doesnt show much of Laudrups ability

Only player to have won La Liga titles in a row. Made the strikers on his team most scoring striker for that season (6 years in a row, with Barca & R. Madrid) Raul, Iniesta, Xavi, Zamarano, Guardiola, Platini.."best player I have played with or seen playing" Only player to have won 5-0, 5-0 with first Barca vs. R. Madrid, then R. Madrid vs. Barca. Zidane copied his 360 turn trick.

Pep Said that ballon d,or didnt mean Anything since Laudrup never won it In my opinion top 2 of all time the best of his time but do to a Big ego he missed the euro cup sin in 92 the only in danish history he wasnt very liked by coaches because of his ego

So now you can make a career saying "wow, yeah." to other people's work? Wow, yeah!

ronaldo and romario in 90s sorry laudrup you not enter in
