Paul Scholes: Control, Touches, Passing #2
*Sorry about the bad audio quality on this one This video was created to express the genius that is Paul Scholes who I believe to be the finest English footballer of his generation. It seems that only recently, with England once again unable to progress in the World Cup, that people are waking up to what’s wrong with football in this country, and realising that Scholes’ talent has been wasted on the international stage. In England the subtle arts of football are often overlooked in place of our more traditional virtues – passion, strength, heart – but time and time again we are made to look neanderthal because of out inability to KEEP THE BALL and CREATE because of a lack of TECHNIQUE and VISION. Paul Scholes has been extolling these virtues at the heart of the Manchester United team for the best part of 20 years and he should have been given the same status as the fulcrum of the England team. Real football brilliance isn’t about 30 yard screamers and crunching tackles – they are important, but are only moments. What is really important is the ability to control the ball, retain possession, create space, open up the opposition with a pass, the small things that happen constantly through the game, but if done badly destroy your chances of winning at the highest level. In England we don’t appreciate this, we want explosive moments – the crowd becomes restless if a team is keeping possession and the TV won’t replay a moment of technique or a great pass like they will in …
Video Rating: 4 / 5

0:28 i haven’t seen control like that in any over player apart from Scholes.
2:09 . . . FUCK!
Paul Scholes for me?…..Without a shadow of a doubt the GREATEST english midfielder ever. The PASSING, The VISION, the CREATIVITY, the TECHNICAL ABILITY, the AWARENESS, the PERIPHERAL EYE FOR THE KILLER BALL…
I could go on for ages. XAVI and INIESTA = EAT YOUR HEART OUT – RESPECT to the Ginger Prince from a CHELSEA FAN
where did number 1 go?? i think that was the greatest youtube video ever made!
this guy is good, but i like xavi’s style of playing and passing the ball
@102293 well, actually I think you can. You dont need a huge yard to practice that move, I have tried myself and it works; but an actual pitch is the best option. You can have somebody throw the ball at you, and then try to redirect the ball with your chest to the desired location. Hope that helps.
@anibalin7 passing with your chest is something u can’t do at home by yourself
@102293
same thing as passing the ball with your head, it’s a matter of practice, like every other move in football
Can someone teach me how to pass with my chest?
on of the best videos i’ve ever seen of any player…super
@F3ARL3SSJ

breathtaking stuff. thanx for posting!
most overrated player in history
@sicmufc2 fucking prem league! someone creates a piece of brilliant art which examines the finer points of the beautiful game and they shut it down. Its prob cause they don’t earn enough money as it is. Any keep up the good work you have a talent.
@Dkabitto21 I think you’re mistakening him for Paul Gascoigne.
How he never won a prem or world player of the year award is beyond me
@TheBenno32 i was just about to say that, what vision he had to make that pass
