Claude Makélélé exclusive: Life at Chelsea, Real Madrid exit & Kanté’s genius

[@MakeleleRole]

Before Busquets and Rodri, there lived a beast named Claude. Thanks for everything, king ❤

[@Wisdom-z17]

Get Rordi out of there

[@MisterO98]

The audacity to include put Rodri and Busi in the same sentence let alone think of adding Makelele is actually insane.

[@MakeleleRole]

@@MisterO98 Nobody is saying one is better over the other, fella. Busi could very well be the goat of DMs. Like it or not, Rodri is the most influential player in the PL currently, something that Mikel also alluded to in one of his earlier episodes

[@emmanuelewaana3653]

Makelele left for mikel, mikel left for matic, matic left for kante and kante left for caicedo..... rich history

[@neorenjie]

Kante was more of a box to box midfielder, like Essien and Ramires.

[@PjMasks-qu6bb]

​@@neorenjieyes bt he played as CDM for chelsea

​@@neorenjiekante wasn't box to box he just had the energy to run like a box to box midfielder

[@Thursdaynights]

You know you're goated when a position has been named after you

[@raulabc7]

What an honorary mention of the genius GUTI. Truly one of a kind. I learnt my football, skills, passing and vision from watching Guti. What a joy to watch. I learnt my finishing from Raul. What a genius finisher. Especially his lob technique. Wow. Mastered it. It took me years and years.

[@FraDiavolo-w9u]

That man was magical. Arguably the most beautiful final ball passer I've seen.

[@tcvibes493]

oga mikel.. you've truly outdone yourself sir. Thank you

[@Helena_01541]

What do you mean really?

[@Lord_OTD]

A player so good, an entire position on the football field is named after him. The Makelele Position changed football for the better.

[@umzizidz1111]

that guti shout was 😍.. one of the most underrated player ever!

[@Chikaezeh]

Bring on Salomon Kalou, the interview will be lightning because I think both Mikel and Kalou get along easily 😎

[@FortuneCukee-j8p]

I like how mikel names eveyone but himself. Skippo, i have been a Chelsea fan since 2002,i watched you play. You have a similar play style to bousquets.

[@roryasrorri701]

Yeah. Great anchor-man. When he left, Jose gotta replaced him with both Matic and Kante.

[@sammie3945]

Guti was a phenomenon! Don't know how he doesn't get spoken about. He's one of the most talented footballers ever!

[@lilisiodossantos498]

Claude Makélélé one of the best number 6 of all time what a fantastic player...👌

[@RoyalBlue292]

The Best. You can't name anyone better.

I was young but Claude makelele was a midfield maestro

[@silewis9396]

Thanks for that

Could you get Bosingwa on the pod please? 🙏🏻 I want to hear the difference between Chelsea and Porto’s champions league campaign

[@patreekylumumba4867]

Carvalho aswell

Could also be asked why he felt the need to ruin the 2012 trophy lift getting in John Terry’s and Frank Lampards way 😂

He doesnt speak english properly

Preferably Paolo Ferreira

[@kofipapa2886]

I use to not like Mikel but when I look at his videos I get confused as to how great he was but never get recognized

[@KTalksmoney]

Makalele was stupendously underrated.

[@nosa2385]

No he weren’t, everyone rated him highly and rightfully so

[@jackwood107]

@@nosa2385At the time by the papers he was, all the ratings were low for him, only if it was a clear distinctive performance would he be rated highly, same with Busquets, the casual viewers won’t rate their roles, of course there were people singing his praises but overall he was very under appreciated by the casual viewer, I guess it’s the nature of a defensive position…

[@1gcm]

@@nosa2385He never got the recognition he deserves, he was always underrated even at Madrid.

[@Ninja_volleyball]

​@@1gcmтак вот, он специально ушёл из Мадрида, чтобы его заценили по достоинству😅 После его ухода, все поняли, чего стоил Макелеле.

Correct!

1) Claude Makelele 2) Ngolo Kanye 3) Michael Essien 4) John Obi Mikel

Great stuff. Cold Palmer on the pod next? 🥶🥶🥶

Obi bring Osimhen to Chelsea!!!

Obi you are a FUCKING REAL ONE.. That Guti praise.. Ballers KNOW BALLERS.. I rated that from you.. Guti is an unspoken baller.. This was an absolute baller

Please obi try and invite Michael ballack and shavchenko

Good timing as Rodri a CDM player has won Ballon D'or

[@rubiconazza]

Boys listen. It's incorrect to think we didn't appreciate your roles. All true Chelsea fans LOVE MAKELELE I have never ever forgotten his smile he does when steals a ball off the opponents. And same for Obi. Ppl like me have never forgotten what you two have done

[@Helena_01541]

Many football followers have for years now underrated that role, so they're not far from the truth. And both played in that position so they know by a mile more than you how looked down they've felt playing that position.

[@kb5509]

​@@Helena_01541he literally a position named after himself,and he was talked about constantly, both for changing the Premier League and for having been the most important player at Madrid. Where's the lack of appreciation? Footballers have egos, none of them think they're appreciated enough.

[@Helena_01541]

@kb5509 not you writing this SMH, how many times has a DM been appreciated enough for winning a match as compared to strikers and attacking midfielders when they're the engine room. Apart from Rodri now, Kante, and Yaya Toure in Africa, which DM won a personal award. Again, that role is highly underrated.

[@essaarif1292]

Claude Makelele, what a player. One of my happiest days was the day he scored that penalty vs. Charlton.. Legend is an understatement when this man is mentioned.. Love you Sir Claude Makalele
