Beauty of Counter-Attacks
Amerr30 8 years ago Edited
Real Madrid, Bosnia-Herzegovina 56 616

A fast, intricate, and well carried out counter attack is one of the most beautiful thing in football. It involves the best things in football.

The best counter attacks have all of the characteristics that we watch football for. Team-work, speedy attack, dribbling, good passing, one-twos - all of that put together brilliantly to produce a goal.

Real Madrid is probably one of the best counter attacking sides of recent times, though there have been other teams who have successfully scored amazing counter attacking goals. Monaco has scored some great goals this season.

Let's post some of the best counter attacking videos you guys have seen. I know Manchester United in Sir Alex era have scored some amazing counter attacking goals.

This is definitely one of my favorite counter attack video:

Paste a link to content from another site (e.g. Youtube, Twitter and many others) of your favorite counter attack goal(s).

In #8: Look at C. Ronaldo's assist for Benzema, and there are people who say that CR does not know how to assist.

Sorry about the quality, for some reason I couldn't find HD ones.

The fastest counter I can remember is this one:

If you want a nice well-worked counter that doesn't rely on brute speed, this is probably my favorite of those:

Arsenal was the best in 2003-2004 when they had Bergkamp, Henry, and Piers.

Yeah that goal from Martial gives me goosebumps everytime I watch it. But MU has a lots of those counters too, I havent got time to find more of these.

Bayern has the best direct attack and sometimes counter, Real has all the players to pull off a great counter, and they often do that.

@Golefty Man, I don't remeber against who their are playing there, but I remember that goal from last season. Martial really is one of my favorite player, it felt so awesome whenever I saw him score live. I still remember his first goal and hearing the commentator saying "YEEEES", felt so good! :D

@Amerr30 Seriously, in term of playing style, the way Real Madrid play might just be one of my favorite, lots of pressing and then brutal counter-attack, its truly beautiful. :D

@Emo: I agree, same for me. I absolutely love watching them when they play like this, it's beautiful. I hate admitting this but a lot of times they don't. When they're good, they're unplayable. When they're bad though, they're terrible. I don't envy Zidane at all, I can't imagine how difficult it must be to motivate players who have already won everything there is out there to win. Who have accomplished all there is to accomplish. How do you motivate them? But he's doing a wonderful job so far. We've had some bad games but mostly when he needed the team to perform, he somehow got them to find that extra gear.

Real probably isn't the favorite this year to win the CL, but they weren't last year either. Under Zidane, they tend to look really bad week in and out, barely grinding out wins but then they come up against good opposition, and all of a sudden look like a completely different team. If we ever had a chance to successfully defend the CL title, it's this year.


@saatvik: United under Sir Alex really played some amazing football. It didn't matter who was playing, who was injured, who they had sold, who they bought. They always played that same, quick style. Three, four passes, and goal. Direct and unstoppable.


@Madridista11: If only that was a goal... Still, people would say Messi scores better ones. Hah.

@Amer: so what? Its different taste. I am one of those who say this one is an absolute beauty, bit Messi has few definitely better one.

This one requires insane speed, dedication and precision. But similar and less beautiful one u will see more often

Some of the Messi's solo one not only requires speed and precision, but also insane technique, calm, tricks while surrounded by full of players... you barely see them in nowaday kick and run football.

Again, its matter of taste

@Tuan: I do not want to get into a Messi v Ronaldo debate, that has been done to death. Because of how much they've both accomplished, it'll probably be best to do that once they both retire. What I was doing was just a sarcastic dig at how I've noticed people usually overrate Messi's goals.

To enjoy Messi's goals difficulty you should practice Football, for someone who never touched a ball it may look easy to drive the ball Messi's way...

I never said he hasn't scored some awesome goals. He has. I'm talking about ones that aren't.

For example, if an unknown scores a screamer, it won't get even one fourth of the attention than Messi would get if he scores a goal that is not even half as spectacular.

FYI: In my playing days, I've actually won awards.

I dont get you man. You said you dont want to get into the debate. But then you said it first.... you know exactly what you were saying and how people might voice their opinions and react.

Then again, now you threw another one, about people overrate Messi goal, WHILE talking about Ronaldo's goal...

Lets just enjoy them both

So, it's my fault that some people might misunderstand what I said?

Not at any point did I say that Messi isn't good or that he doesn't score great goals. I only mentioned / wanted to talk​ about how media reacts.

Consider this. Do you remember the goal Messi scored against Bayern Munich? The one where Boateng fell down following a dribble by Messi? Everybody knows about that. The amount of memes, stories, and publications about that goal was just unbelievable.

I'm not saying the goal wasn't great, it required a lot of skill. One of the goals of that year. But.. what if I told you that Angel di Maria did almost the same thing to Puyol in an el classico. How many know about that? Only his shot was saved and Ronaldo scored the rebound. But nobody, ever made fun of Puyol, nobody made memes about it. That's what I was saying. So of course, it gets to me a little bit - that's why I mentioned it. Sure, it does have a little to do with Ronaldo, and Messi rivalry but not really. It's about the media's perception of the two. The things one of them does is always, always exaggerated while for the other, there's a completely opposite reaction. Only when he does something that simply can no longer be ignored, can no longer be doubted - does the media finally decide to write good things about him.

Why does this happen? I honestly think it has everything to do with how they're presented One is an everday, humble guy many can relate to while the other is an arrogant, good looking guy that most have nothing in common with.

Now, sure, let's enjoy them both. I just wish we could do that without bias.

Cristiano is second to none when it comes to counter attack contribution, he has had it all, the acceleration, speed/pace, off ball positioning, jumping ability, finishing with left, right foot, perfect game sense overall. Like Sir Alex Ferguson said, the player that reached his full potential. Perfect example the game vs Sweden away, a mini duel Cristiano vs Ibrahimovic:
