Laudrup vs Iniesta

laudrup was before my time but i went on another laudrup youtube sesh last night and christ alive he was astonishingly poised and ambidextrous

unlike all of the great dribblers now who seem to be small low centred types, he was 6' too

other similarities with andres; seen as introverted and perfectionist, criticized for supposedly low scoring

let's face it, no one is going to vote against jamie lannister here

a lot of people love iniesta

he is a sort of deity to those barcelona/barcelonaism fanboys right now for whom messi is a bit too obviously great

i prefer laudrup's dribbling, more angular and clever

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Swansea City defender Alan Tate has told talkSPORT that new manager Michael Laudrup is still the best player in training at 48-years-old.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

The question is going like this: “You played with Pep Guardiola at Barcelona...”

Michael Laudrup leans forward in his chair in the small manager’s office at the Liberty Stadium and interrupts it.

“He would maybe say that he played with me,” says the Swansea boss. Then he starts to laugh.

ha

That 1 hour 23 min Laudrup compilation posted by r|t|c is amazing. Obviously didn't watch it all, but you can just click into it anywhere to see an amazing pass.

deems these laudrup compilations are astonishing

hes probably more in the ronaldinho zico zidane kinda level than iniesta, as much as inesta is solidly the Third Best Player In The World these days

yes totally xp

will watch instead of chinatown tonight, i'll pass on ilf regards to herself

it's an hour and a half of defense splitting passes, most of which were shamefully wasted it seems.

chinatown is amazing too, tho not quite as good as polanski's 'cul de sac'

p much every swansea player i've read interviewed has said the same thing

really enjoyed this robert prosinecki comp, quite possibly the scrappiest most inspirationally ungainly dribbler ever by the looks of it

6ft+ dribblers are just the best, fuck a lil zoomy midget

One story goes that when Laudrup was discussing retirement over dinner one day in 1996, King Juan Carlos I, who happened to be in the same restaurant, called him to his table and asked for clarification on the rumours he had heard. Upon learning they were true, he said: 'That's good news. I'll be the only king in Spain again.'

totes xp, feel like it requires more ingenuity to control in tight spaces when they dont have a stride length of 5cm

sort of feel that iniesta being played on the wing instead of villa or alexis is ever so slightly shameful and that the current barcelona should always have direct threats from wide

idk jordi alba is probs the most forward fb i've ever seen, think they've still got that aspect covered

catalonia is not spain and even giddy fbs are not forwards

they fucked malaga playing a team of attacking mids but it was too deterministic and cold for my liking

just looking at the 11.00 dribbling clip now, his gait, the way he holds himself waiting for the defender's move reminds me of someone, maybe hoddle. what a player he might have been if he'd ever managed to make it to england.

Just watching that 11 minute dribbling compilation again, the turn in the 7.28 clip is pure magic, dude gets moving up the pitch so fast when the ball drops to him. Amazing.

xp which grim bb4 scando crime procedural is that from

Michael Laudrup has been appointed as the new coach of Lekhwiya, the Qatari club have announced.

The club said on their official website that details of his contract would be announced at a later date. The former Barcelona and Real Madrid midfielder admitted he may look for a challenge beyond football management when his deal with Lekhwiya expires.

He told the Danish newspaper Politiken: “I’m now entering my final phase as a coach. Although whether Lekhwiya will be my final or penultimate club I can’t say. And I don’t know either whether this phase while last two, three of four years. The answer is blowing in the wind.
