Nwankwo Kanu : How to Round a Goalkeeper

[@enieleni2823]

The composure, the "close to the feet" control of the ball, the confidence irrespective of the angle, just wow!

[@godschampion7569]

My best Nigerian footballer ever. He was graceful with the ball. Missed him so much

[@EnglishforFOOTBALLFANS]

What a player! La croquets is sometimes credited to Iniesta but Kanu was doing it around keepers way before him!

[@gregorychanyukachimonyo5973]

My greatest African footballer of all time.GOAT

[@iganpparamarta8813]

A man that tall and slender but with ‘glued to the foot’ ball control. And even more amazing he can round the GK in very tight angle. If it’s Messi or Maradona it would’ve been normal but Kanu is just unbelievable.

[@iganpparamarta8813]

It’s like he’s not even trying. Very natural, using composure and quick feet.

[@shampar10]

Kanu was probably the most underrated player of his generation.

[@davidkunleomotesho4712]

Indeed he was

[@bubu0503]

That generation was loaded… but yea he was kind of underrated

[@HopeIanHope]

Not underrated by me

[@ekeneokeke8244]

Defenders including Goalkeepers fall and bow before him. I laugh seeing them willfully falling and bowing down. Kanu is a Master.

[@kofiashiboe-mensah686]

A special talent. Once in a generation talent. The game slowed down for him

[@frankokolie3121]

Kanu is the best goalkeeper beater in history of football but was underated!

[@rarimapirate9237]

Kanu is great, but Ronaldo Nazario is the best at rounding goalkeepers. It is possible that Ronaldo picked up some techniques from Kanu

Ronaldo rounded the keeper more but kanu did it more beautifully with ease

[@aframaco9491]

Unbelievable agility and pace for someone with such long legs!

[@sholaakinola1164]

Watching this clip after so many years proves Kanu is the most complete player of our generation by far with his unmatched skills💯.

[@marcopee49]

I still remember his goal against Brasil at the Atlanta 96 Olympics semifinals.

[@lutaayam]

1:13 most underrated goal in the history of the game

[@OAhlawy]

He never missed a chance to humiliate a goalkeeper

[@fiachra4266]

I was at Highbury that night, it felt like I'd seen something from another dimension.

[@fkay4159]

Kanu ball control was awesome made it looked simples

[@HopeIanHope]

Kanu was pure magic, his first, second in fact every touch just brilliant.

[@abimbolaIsmaeel45]

The composure is second to none

[@sunnytex3710]

The love I have for this great legend.. only God knows

[@omonigbehinolawale5414]

He was an underrated legend

[@edoboramos467]

Undisputed talented kanu nigeria pride

[@moestacks98]

r9, baggio, kanu, rivaldo master at rounding the goalkeeper

[@josephodighibor2456]

Natural intelligence

[@thewisetzar5363]

Silky smooth Kanu

[@uyiegharevba5160]

The one he missed against Denmark in 1998 world cup was the most painful..

[@marhoziregbe7528]

One of the times it failed him.😔

[@lmostayoutuber]

The one against Southampton in the last minutes of the game at the dell in 99 hurt more, Arsenal drew 0-0 and lost the title by 1 point

[@akindijidurojaiye931]

I wish his heart issue didn't take a toll on him as years came by. He had no choice than to decrease his work rate. At times you see him gasping for air yet his manoeuvres were mesmerising. He actually wanted to disrespect Peter Schmeichel...he wasn't lucky

[@aribrahim1898]

1:13 This keeper rounded himself 😂

[@kayvaldo]

🤣

[@fiachra4266]

He was turned inside out by a series of faint dummies

[@pauljohnsonnwokolo2895]

Gbawaa net dia. What a player, what a talent

[@adeloyesegun5539]

So intelligent

[@eddiejacket8223]

His close ball control was one of the best. He could make defenders and keepers look like fools. My favourite goal was the back heel against Middlesbrough.

[@onyebuchinkemdirim4582]

His movements are unique

[@HopeIanHope]

He won so many trophies, just look it up.

[@sunnyli5924]

Very smart player

[@chukwuemekanneji2713]

So composed

[@imuwahenodeh4830]

too talented

[@obawilliam1961]

So in love with your skill set Papillo. You were a game changer! So sad Arsene Wenger didn't make you shine enough during your hay days in favour of his country-man Thierry Henry.

[@fadumo5598]

Yep you're absolutely right.. Arsene Wenger.. was fucken racist. Black lives matter...... theory Henry was not a game changer. But KANU was a game changer and expect unexpected..KANU gave a nightmare CHELSEA @last minutes

[@chukzlaqute6673]

Kanu could play much after he undergo a heart surgery,he doesn’t need to strain himself anymore so he had to always come as super sub even for the Nigeria national team and arsenal

[@MajorrBison]

KAN-U BELIEVE IT?

[@alanstevens75]

1:47 was my best Kanu goal ever💥💥💥 ❤

[@jimjimbringit7924]

master class papilo love u boss

[@alabaolatunji4152]

Kanu the great talent even sir Alex Ferguson can testify that...

[@chikarism1st672]

We don't see these kinds of players anymore

[@ousmanendiaye2591]

Non kanu vraiment 👍💯👍❤️💪

[@adebiyiadetunji4182]

Honestly very few players can score this type of goals

[@aframaco9491]

Maad oh! It looks like Comedy Hour!

[@iganpparamarta8813]

In term of rounding the goalies he’s on par with R9

[@kayvaldo]

Kanu was among the best at it and I'm hesitant to admit it but nobody's on R9's level.

[@iganpparamarta8813]

kay valdo Of course. It’s just my observation, R9 doing it the best way possible after bulldozing defenders, Kanu did it the most efficient way by barely moving his legs. No one can argue against a player who was absent for almost 2 complete seasons and then scored 8 goals in a World Cup.

[@kingsleyogburie2798]

Rounding Goalies is Kanu's super power. I can comfortably say he is better than R9 in rounding goalies considering the effortlessness at it. No doubt R9 is a far better plaÿer than Kanu. It takes more than rounding goalies to be World Class. But we've got to give this one to Kanu

[@iganpparamarta8813]

@@kingsleyogburie2798 I’ve watched Roberto Baggio’s goal compilation. The way he round the GK is similar to Kanu. It’s just amazing because they have very different physique but similar technique.

[@whitedapoet]

@@kingsleyogburie2798 out of R9 400 something goals 23% was around goalkeeper. Kanu a legend tho. I was too young to realize his technical abilities back then. Now I understand

[@PeterOla1122]

Hahaha.... This was hilarious...

[@fadumo5598]

Aswear the GOD he's gotta skills and the ball controls like that of BRAZILIAN e'lphenamennon RONALDO'9 .... KANU was a who gives a gift for the goalkeepers and defenders NIGHTMARE just like that of BRAZILIAN RONALDO But RONALDO had more than one Ronaldo's I mean all BRAZILIAN are just good as Ronaldo.. BUT!! kanu had the most corrupt country's in the world.. . BUT he showed a dominant role for the football history when he beat the SEMIFINAL best Brazilians team of all time @1996 ATLANTA OLYMPICS with RONALDO rivaldo R'Carlos cafu & manny more.. PLUS the Argentina's @the FINAL.. Fifa should award him the best player in world @1996 since he beat all overrated best players @the time Anyways we'll never see a guy like him and JJ/AKOCHA... on the African continent... Arsenal Friendly play in his 40's he managed to score hatrck
