Okay, let me tell you how this Leroy Sané goals video project went down. Been replaying those old Man City matches lately, missing his absolute rocket shots, you know? Decided I had to make a proper compilation for fellow fans. Pure nostalgia.
Starting Simple: The Hunt Begins
First, obviously needed the footage. Grabbed my old laptop, fired up its creaky browser, and dove into dusty corners of my own archive. Noticed a big problem immediately: scattered clips everywhere. Felt like panning for gold in my own messy streams folder. Had files labelled “City_v_Liverpool_2017”, “PL_Chelsea_A”, absolute chaos.
Sorting the Mess & Culling Clips
Took a deep breath. Started dragging anything potentially useful into a new folder called “Sané_Project”. Then came the real work: watching every clip. Like, every single one. Used a basic media player, hitting pause and play constantly. Criteria was simple: Only goals? Nah. Only goals where he made defenders look silly with speed? Absolutely. Any moment that made you gasp? Yes. If a clip didn’t instantly make me whisper “Whoa”, I chucked it. Took forever.
Building the Flow: Edit Mode Engaged
Finally had my raw gold. Fired up the free video editor I downloaded ages ago. Started dropping clips onto the timeline. First attempt was… rough. Just slap-bang goals in order? Felt flat. Needed more life. Went back, shuffled clips:
- Grouped goals: Curlers first, then the blistering counter-attacks, then the toe-pokes in chaos.
- Built momentum: Started slow, ended with those trademark “race down the wing, cut inside, BOOM” screamers.
- Simple transitions: Just quick cuts mostly. Didn’t want flashy stuff distracting from Sané’s magic.
Slapped on some copyright-free stadium noise background track I found. Tried adding crowd roars fading in on goals – fiddly, but worth it.
The Final Polish & Export Agony
Watched the whole thing, felt good but too long. Cut out three decent goals ruthlessly. Kept only the absolute jaw-droppers. Added very simple title text at the beginning: “Leroy Sané Manchester City Pure Speed & Precision”. Short and sweet. Hit export… waited ages for the video to render. Processor sounded like a hairdryer trapped in a box. Finally got the file.
Done? More Like Relieved
Honestly? The organizing and clipping took way longer than the actual editing. Felt like digging trenches. But sitting back and watching the final mix? Seeing him skin fullbacks and rip nets? That feeling’s why I bother with this stuff. Pure satisfaction. Like reliving those match days all over again. Hope folks watching it get that same buzz.
