    I was getting annoyed thinking who would he put ahead of Maldini. Then he said Baresi and all was fine

      He said Baresi before Maldini. He Desailly instead

    • @hellacezkie

      Yes. Baresi was Maldini's mentor anyway, and we all know Baresi is a beast (see Baresi vs. Brazil)

      @@aldospinello5497 It's just the truth. Defensive players get no respect when people talk about the greatest players of all-time. Paolo Maldini should be a part of every one of those discussions. He was a truly great footballer. One of the absolute best. Beckenbauer's the other one who doesn't get mentioned enough. Just an astonishingly great and important footballer, but because he spent most of his career largely trying to stop attacking talent he doesn't get mentioned nearly as much as some attackers who simply aren't in his class.

    Just when you think you can't like Zola more. What a sweet guy. Adding Tore Andre Flo to the list of great attacking players was both sweet and insane: no doubt representing his friend. Desailly is indefensible. Desailly was great, Maldini was an all-time great. But even then it's hard to argue with the choices of such a great player and seemingly a great person.

    This shows why Zola who was an amazing player, was a rubbish manager.

    Maldini played centre back with Barasi and they STILL hold the record for most top flight clean sheets in football.
    I mean HOW MUCH MORE CHEMISTRY do you need??
    Also in 5 aside you need players to drift wide if need be.
    Marcel was central and could not do drift left.
    Maldini was left back and a centre back.

    Did the host mention John Terry??? smh they over hype British players. Terry isn't in the class of Desailly, Costacurta, Maldini and a bunch of other players Zola played with. Don't get it twisted, Terry played in a global popular league so he got more exposure than he deserved.

      Zola mentioned JT, not the host. The fact Zola mentioned him in the same sentence as them would indicate he thinks he was on their level ...

      Terry is the best CB in PL history. He defintely deserves a mention.
