Just how GOOD was Gheorghe Hagi Actually?

After all this time for some reason, FIFA decided I couldn't show you some of the clips at around the 10 minute mark therefore the blurs, don't mind them tho they only last about a minute

One could write a book on his right foot and the last sentence would be: “he was left footed”. That is how great he was.

Hagi was a beast! I remember facing Romania in 1994. Much respect from Argentina!

As a GALATASARAY fan, Hagi is one of the greatest footballers of all time, I feel very lucky to have watched him live.

He destroyed Arsenal in the Eufa cup final! This guy was out of this world!!!

Hagi had everything, incredibly accurate long pass, superb ball control, he saw everything on the field, he was the only player who could shoot free kick from 20 metres and 35m.

Amazing player and he is so underrated.. one of the best left footed players ever

He actually was a genius choosing Galatasaray over bigger western teams , he would stay on the bench for many games , unfairly at Real or Barça but he become a legend at Galatasaray.

My Favourite player from The 94' WC in USA (also a shout out to Stochkov? Bulgaria). Hagi was Different Class with his Sweet Left foot, tricks, mazy runs, passing etc!! Honestly (To the Younger peeps who weren't born etc) He Was World Class, if I was to compare Hagi it would be a bit of Messi, Kinkladze (M City 90's) & Iniesta!! Thanks for the upload

Great player! An iconic number 10 who was very entertaining to watch, albeit being overly temperamental at times; Hagi was so talented, creative, skilful, dynamic, and he scored some incredible goals as well. If only he had had a better mentality and work-rate, and had been more consistent in bigger domestic leagues in Spain and Italy, he could have been even greater, but he still he had a great career and still managed some fantastic achievements with Steaua Bucharest and Gala in particular, both domestically and in Europe. He was also unfortunate not to play for a better national side, but Romania still had a good team and achieved some impressive results with him as their leader, and his achievements and performances in certain international tournaments were certainly memorable and of a high quality.

Doar străinii vorbesc frumos de valorile noastre! Respect Gica

Hagi was unreal. Ability wise he was up there with the very best players ever. Great dribbler and his long shots were amazing. He was brilliant for Romania. A real leader for them. I remember when Ireland beat Romania on penos in the 1990 World Cup. Hagi was amazing that game. He was so unlucky not to score with several of his incredible long shots. Hit the bar 1/2 times & was clearly a level above everyone else.. Thats the first time I saw him and I was so impressed. Could see he was a footballing genius and I was a fan of his from that moment on. Unfortunately he didnt shine at Real or Barca(altho had some great moments) but I think the pressure of a big club got to him and affected how he played. He needed to be a big fish in a little pond and have the team built around him, like how the Romanian team was. In the right team he was magic.

Hagi was so underrated He was unreal left footed

I saw full grown man cry because of Hagi. I saw adults become a kid because of Hagi. I can only thank you for the joy you brought us Hagi. Thank you on behalf of every Galatasaray fan!

One of the best long shot taker’s ever

Actually, Hagi went to Real Madrid after the communism regime was done. During the communism days no player was allowed to play outside Romania. Also, Steaua in 1986 was basically the same as the national team because it was Ceausescu’s team. Also, Romania was one of the top national teams between 1990 and 1999. In 1997 Romania was the 3rd team in the world FIFA rank.

I loved watching Hagi so much, what a flair! Imo one of the legends of the game. Shame he is not remembered as much as other players. For sure top10 best player of his time.

He was a great number 10, simply a hero for every Galatasaray supporter.

It was a pleasure to see Hagi play in the USA94 World Cup. I would love see if you could make video about Jari Litmanen!

He is a simple man, but his mentality is awesome. He made a football academy with his OWN MONEY to give kids without possibilities a chance to follow their dreams. How many ex great players did that? He carried the Romanian national team almost by himself, even though he had alot of great colleagues playing at major clubs in Europe at that time such as Petrescu at Chelsea or Adrian Ilie at Valencia. He started with nothing but his magic left foot and he is still involved in the football world at his age. I don't care about trophies because Hagi himself has a gold character and that's what matters. Chapeau Gheorghe Hagi!
