      @@sadinhamadouchi8280 Maldini's biggest strength was his awareness of the game. He would lock the defence down and not allow anyone to come close by cutting each passing lane along with other greats like Nesta. Obviously, this won't work all the time so everytime it didn't work, he had the skill necessary to make the perfect tackle and recover the ball. He considers his hold on the game his greatest ability and his elite tackling skills are only a failsafe.

    How he never won the Ballon D’or I’ll never know. Just because attackers score goals and are creative they always seem to win it. But Maldini was unquestionably the best player in his position and the best defender in the world for years. He took defending to a whole new level. His timing, intelligence, positioning, game reading was outstanding. He was a better defender than attackers were at attacking. Simply the best

    • @blabla-rg7ky
      @blabla-rg7ky Před 3 měsíci

      if he was to ever win Ballon d'Or it would have had to be in his peak years (which is 2000 to 2007), but during those years both Kaka and Shevchenko had won it for Milan, so my assumption is that the voters didn't want to reward it to another Milan player (although, let's not forget that Pirlo, too would have deserved the trophy in those years) so as not to be accused of bias. But, in reality, we all know that the almighty AC Milan have had at least 4 players that could have won the trophy at ANY time during those years were this trophy to be rewarded fair and square. But after this injustice, the moronic voters went ahead and gave the trophy only to Messi and Penaldo for over a decade, even though there were times when Messi didn't deserve it. In the 2011 season, for example, Messi had been injured most of the season and he only played 10-12 games (I don't remember the exact number), and I think he still won the Ballon d'Or at the expense of Riibbery, Robben, Lahm, Neuer or Alaba who have won the UCL that season. This just shows you how corrupt this trophy had become in the last 15 years or so....
      Or in 2013 (I believe) when Real Madrid had only won Copa del Rey and yet, Penaldo had won Ballon d'Or instead of - once again - Ribbery or Robben, or even Drogba / Terry / Lampard who were killing that season.
      So yeah... tell me more about how fair this trophy is when legends like Pirlo or Maldini carry the teams on their backs for a decade while Messi / Penaldo don't even play and they still win it....

    What people also forget is how important some of these games were, in which he produced so many great defensive performances...finals and semi-finals of major tournaments like the World Cup, the Champions League, and the Euros, as well as big domestic games as well against top opponents (both clubs and players) and in key games during a given season. He won it all with Milan (he once held the record for most Serie A title victories when his career spanned the era in which it was the greatest league we've ever seen, with seven world class teams and some of the greatest players, defenders, and goalkeepers ever), set a record for least goals conceded and most clean sheets and consecutive minutes without a goal in Serie A and the World Cup (the former has since been broken), and came up against all the greats, and also holds the record for most Champions League/European Cup victories and final appearances, keeping several clean sheets and had a man of the match performance in one of them and a goal in one defeat. Only bad luck prevented him from winning a title with Italy, which he so deserved, but he came close on many occasions, as demonstrated by the fact that he was included in the World Cup all-time team and was often included in the team of the tournament. And while he was arguably the greatest tackler I've ever seen along with Nesta (and the greatest defender I've seen along with Baresi and Nesta), he usually didn't tackle unless he needed to, which is even more impressive.
    Maldini really had it all...an impeccable leader, a classy player, who was precocious, consistent, and who had incredible longevity, and who could play in any defensive position (as he demonstrated during the 1994 World Cup) or even in midfield if necessary. He really had everything you wanted in a defender: two-footedness, versatility, timing, tackling, marking, anticipation, recovering, reading of the game, positioning, organisational skills, tactical intelligence, proficiency in one-one-one situations, physical power/strength, heading/elevtaion/athleticism/aerial prowess, pace, energy, awareness, concentration, composure, mentality, breavery, decisiveness, technique, elegance, passing, crossing, creativity, and attacking drive, both when playing on the flank or up the middle as a libero...the one thing which one might consider a possible "weakness," which maybe impeded him from being virtually "perfect" (not that I would call them that personally though), is that he didn't have the offensive qualities or goalscoring or shooting abilities, both in open play and from dead ball situations, of certain defenders such as Koeman, Hierro, Roberto Carlos, Vierchowod, Materazzi, or Ramos, but having said that he always chipped in with a few goals, and also contributed with assists as well, and I still believe that as a defender, one should be able to defend first and foremost...and aside from goals, he had it all, and I think that's even more impressive looking back on him today when technique and ball playing ability are valued more in defenders.

      Maldini trascende la fede calcistica.
      Se potessi scegliere un giocatore sul quale costruire la mia squadra, beh....sarebbe lui IL MARZIANO

    Maldini was a monster in every aspect, in terms of physical strenght, in terms.of speed, in therms of class and in terms.of brain

    My 5yo son started watching Maldini videos and suddenly leaps of progress in his defending. Even his coach was like what happened and then I just said he started watching Maldini.
    You could see the admiration for that name in the coach's eyes

    He is the best football defender of all time!
    There are many excellent defenders in history but Paolo does everything better than players else!

    Veo a Maldini y me emociona tanto porque ese es el fútbol que me atrapó de pequeño, creo que nunca habrá otro jugador así, lo de antes eran los defensas

      Incluso los 2 mejores defensores vandjik y Ramos no tienen ninguna posibilidad con maldini, este fútbol de la generación es aburrido. Me gusta el viejo fútbol de entonces.
