Manuel Rui Costa ● The Idol Of Cristiano Ronaldo ||HD|| ►Underrated Beast◄

People talk about Iniesta and Zidane but in my opinion Rui Costa was even better. Sadly incredible underrated.. Subscribe for more amazing videos!

[@Honorarkonsul1081]

Pure elegance on the pitch. His skills don't need HD quality, they are shining for themselves.

There is something aesthetically pleasing about rui costa movement, technique and dribbling, its fluid, smooth and graceful. Rui costa was very agile and flexible and made everything look easy without putting any effort. A true maestro and genius.

[@susiex6669]

A player like this could never exist today in the age of celebrity worship and social media. Rui Costa played with a love for the game, not a love of fame or self worship. He will always be the definiton of talent and pure class, on the field and off.

An idol that was worth every football ticket cent just to watch him play! Rui Costa and Michael Laudrup were the most elegant football players i've had the chance to watch!

[@user-qh4db9lk6u]

troller4life a time where there was less diving and more passion for the game. A time where ppl played it with true passion and not just for money. Almost every footballer this generation has dived and teams have been robbed alot recently.

[@adammarsden4995]

F more than that. A time where the likes of Rui Costa and Batistuta would ply their trade at a club like Fiorentina. These days Real or Barca would snap them up instantly. Just like all these young Ajax players are gonna be at Barca or Real next season. This was an era when Valerón stayed for 16 years at Depor, Le Tissier graced Southampton, Kinkladze played for a poor Manchester City, Juninho and Ravanelli played for Middlesbrough. Talent was spread around the leagues and clubs. Now it’s whoever has the money and who’s gonna win everything. It’s a shame.

[@andreaprelestian5443]

Right now it's just about money and bussines

The only way to describe rui costas playing, beautiful. He wasnt fast or over the top dribbler, but every time he had the ball, you just knew something amazing was going to happen

[@AzizDoufikar2280]

Back when footballers were elegant and master of close ball control.Now it's all about speed,dribbles and tons of goals.People nowadays will look at Rui Costa and think he's overrated.Sad😓

Yes and if you look closely he even played with C. Ronaldo also. For me personally, Rui Costa was a better player than Modric ever was.. and Modric was considered best player in the world.. so there you go. Rui Costa was so so good. He went to Fiorentina and was comfortable there. He always had many offers. If he had gone to a Real or a Barcelona.. he would had been more known. But he was one of the greatest at this time...

[@ktmtxt]

This guy would be on my dream team, for sure. Would love to have seen him playing alongside Xavi and Iniesta every week, with Guardiola as a coach. He's one of those special players who have total control of space and time, processing game information at the speed of light. He always made the right decision and picked the best passing lane at the perfect timing

[@ktmtxt]

@Yassin Zao I couldn't agree less. Pep structures the team so that creativity can flourish from the most talented players. He even gives them total freedom in the last third of the pitch. Why do you think he played Busquets, Xavi, Iniesta, Lahm, Alonso, de Bruyne, Bernardo or David Silva instead of the big muscle, running all the time, type of midfielder? Because he is a great coach from this perspective. And his Barcelona is arguably, in terms of aesthetics, the best team that has ever played the game.

[@jeanlundi2141]

@@ktmtxt Nah, I partly agree with Yassinzao. While I do like the football Pep teams play, he stiffles a lot of his technical players. They are stuck to their position too much. Bernardo, as an example, is a player than in any other team would have much more freedom.

[@miguelrosado6348]

@@yassinzao9790 Yes you are right. If it wasn't for Guardiola, Messi could have been a Ballon D'Or winner or even one of the best players of all time, but he killed Messi's creativity at Barcelona as we all know.

[@miguelrosado6348]

@@yassinzao9790 You don't know the story of how Thierry Henry was benched after scoring goal for Barcelona by moving into the other side of the pitch? Messi fit into Guardiola's system - he was always trying to find space in the half spaces which the one of the pilars of Guardiola's system, so your idea that he kills creativity is just bonkers because he could received the ball without been marked because of Guardiola's system. What he doesn't like is selfish players who have zero spacial awareness and they try to dribble when they could pass or move outside position because they want the ball. That's not who Messi is.

[@miguelrosado6348]

@@yassinzao9790 He is not my Guardiola. I am not a fanboy but I am also not a blind hater. Henry or Ibrahimovic weren't happy so what? Anyone who knows anything about football and actually watches the games knows that his teams play the best football on the planet. I understand that it's hard for people like you who think football is not a team's sport and you rather watch 10000 hours of player's highlights on KZbin than an actual game, but that's not what football is. Also, everyone knows Ibra beef with Guardiola and everyone knows that video where he says as a manager he's great but as a man he is not. So basically their problem was more personal than professional.

@Roy Sunshine Well let's not kid ourselves, Rui Costa also played for what was arguably Portugal's Golden generation which also produced a Ballon d'or winner in Figo. In reality Portugal underachieved and if you recall in two of those major tournaments the Portuguese were knocked out by Zidane and Co. Now I agree those French teams were strong, but I'll put it this way, they were a well built engine but Zidane was the oil that made it flow.
