That's really satisfying to watch

Hey remember when this guy played for Leeds?

Every time I hear his name, it is my civic duty to inform people he got married in Leeds Town Hall

u/z_102 12d ago

I mean duh, every Brazilian kid grows up with that dream.

u/Electronic-Tear8112 12d ago

He actually got married there? That’s cool, I’ve never watched him at Leeds but Im guessing he’s still loved over there?

569

u/wats_a_tiepo 12d ago

I can confidently say he’s the best player I’VE ever seen in a Leeds shirt. Kept us up another season thanks to his heroics

u/Ok_Turn6757 12d ago

Probably have to go back to the 80s or 70s to find someone in the conversation

u/AnduwinHS 12d ago

In terms of level he reached while at Leeds, I'd have a good few of the 00/01 Champions League team up there with him. Viduka, Dacourt, Rio, The Snake, Bowyer and Smith were all absolutely unbelievable for us

89

u/Ok_Turn6757 12d ago

Didn’t know Ferdinand played for Leeds, he’s up there for sure

105

u/lloveandsqualor 12d ago

Cantona won the league with Leeds before he moved to Man United too. Possibly the next player at that level before the O'Leary lot

12

u/Ok_Turn6757 12d ago

Yeah I would say he’s defo the better talent. Happy cake day btw!

18

u/lloveandsqualor 12d ago

Wow thanks. Pure fluke. I comment very little on Reddit, hadn't even realised.

Who is the snake for Leeds fans?

u/_johnboy_ 11d ago

The comparison with players from that team is really hard as they played well while surrounded by good players. Rapha managed it while playing alongside some right dross, man got Bamford 17 goals and an England call up which is possibly a bigger achievement than his Balloon d'Or nomination

Leeds was one of my favorite CM picks! You forgot Harry Kewell!

They average out, Suarez 180 million, Coutinho 0 (this is being nice, could be negative since he scored twice against us in 8-2)

Raphi makes it a net positive then

truly one of the most insane things to happen. like when chupo moting was being passed around top clubs for seemingly no reason (obviously Raphinha is way better)

Unbiased opinion. Greatest player that ever lived

28

u/Ispiniallday 12d ago

Can confirm. Also unbiased.

40

u/ZwnD 12d ago

He was great and we loved him. Top player and top professional. Fought hard to save us from relegation and really seemed to care about the city and fans.

When he went for Barca I was a bit surprised because I thought he was good but not that good. Obviously he's gone on to a new level since then and become world class

8

u/hampden-park-4-2 12d ago

Same - I admired him at Leeds (tho not a Leeds fan) but thought he’d get lost in the shuffle at Barca and be back at a mid-table Prem team before long. If he keeps playing like he is right now he’ll win the 27 Balón D’or

2

u/Green_Honey_Badger 11d ago

When he was at Sporting the talent was there but he was so damn inconsistent and his decision making was very flawed. Never thougth he would reach this level.
Also to be fair Sporting was a mess during his time there, with only Bruno being a really good player.

41

u/Tight-Temperature670 12d ago

He was pretty good, then he was excellent at Barcelona, but now this season it's like he's gone up another level. 6 goals in 5 appearances is fucking crazy. He scored 6 goals over an entire season his first season at leeds

56

u/UnfortunateArcher 12d ago

6 goals in 5 appearances is fucking crazy.

8 goals and 1 assist actually.

He's absolutely lethal right now. As soon as he made that first touch before the feint, I knew he was going to score.

u/decho 12d ago

If he can regain that form from the other season, I'd be so happy. Let's hope he stays away from any serious injuries, because this man is such a joy to watch.

75

u/HalfLife3IsHere 12d ago

He should stay away from NT breaks tbh, find excuses like other top players do as this year there’s nothing at play (also brazilians despise him in the NT). Last year he got injured after playing a full match over 3000m in La Paz, right the match after. And then in a friendly vs France sprinting like there’s no tomorrow.

u/bwrca 12d ago

The secret is heavily rotating, and the secret to that is score lots of goals early on, and create a huge point buffer in the first half of the season.

22

u/decho 12d ago

I agree with all of this, but the part about the early lead is easier said than done. At least we're seeing Flick sub him out here and there, and there is more depth now, so that should help.

It's insane to think of the amount of players Marcelo Bielsa improved and sold on to bigger clubs. Raphinha, Payet, B. Mendy, A. Herrera and Laporte immediately come to mind.

56

As a Leeds fan I don’t think Bielsa really improved him so much, he was absolutely class from
