Milans defense back then was so good, that they won an entire Serie A title whilst only scoring 36 goals in 34 games. They didn't need anymore goals cause they had Baresi and Maldini in their defense! And that was when Serie A was still the best league in the world in the late 80's/early 90's
Paolo Maldini played from 1985-2009 which was almost all of the Italian top league’s (Serie A) golden age (1982-2006). Zlatan has played since 1999 (joined Serie A in 2004), and Maradona played in 1976-1997, and was in Serie A in 1984-1991. It’s only Paolo Maldini who faced both Maradona (1985-1991) and Zlatan (2004-2009), cuz 25 years as a pro elite footballer is INSANE longevity. 1028 matches in total! One thing that is not mentioned in the vid is that Milan won the 91-92 Serie A UNDEFEATED. Two years after winning two Champions League’s in a row, and two years before DESTROYING ‘Dream Team’ Barcelona 4-0 in the Champions League final and ending Johan Cruyff’s career as a coach. The 1987-1994 Milan team(s) is arguably the greatest club team of all time. They had the greatest defence of all time: Paolo Maldini & Franco Baresi (captain) are 2 of the top 3 GOAT’ed defenders behind only Kaiser Franz Beckenbauer - in addition to Costacurta (21 years at Milan) and Tassotti. On top of the undefeated season, they arguably changed the offside rule in the early 90s because of how effective their offside traps were. Franco Baresi would give the call for Maldini, Costacurta and Tassotti to run forward and it almost always worked - so much that the Football Associations around the world saw how ridiculous it got and made the rule more lenient. Before, the offside was given if ANY player was further ahead of the opposing defence during a pass. Now, it’s only the one player receiving the ball (or the player obscuring a goalkeepers view or movement) who has to stay onside. Add their midfield (Ruud Gullit, Frank Rijkaard) and attack (Marco Van Basten) GOAT’s on top of stars like Savicevic, Donadoni, Desailly, Ancelotti, Evani, Albertini, Boban, and you have the trend-setters who took over the European throne from Real Madrid (who hadn’t won the CL since the 60s, but were still considered THE team to beat up till 1990) and changed the rules. A little more about ‘Prime Serie A’: From Platini (1982), Laudrup (1983), Maradona (1984), Rummenigge (1984), Gullit & Van Basten (1987), Matthäus (1988) and Batistuta (1991) to Zanetti (1995), Zidane (1996), Ronaldo (1997), Cafu (1997), Shevchenko (1999), and Kaka (2003). All the biggest stars and world cup players were there, and every team had some world class talent, even after the ‘only 3 foreign players on the pitch’ rule was abolished. The legendary Napoli, Sampdoria, Lazio, Parma and Hellas Verona teams all existed during these decades, on top of the big 3 (Juve, Milan, Inter). GOAT’s like Maradona, Platini, Ronaldo, Matthäus and all reached their prime here. On top of all the Italian greats that played: Maldini, Baresi, Baggio, Scirea, Totti, Nesta, Cannavaro, Buffon, Mancini, Pirlo, Del Piero, Bergomi, Tardelli, Vieri, Di Natale, Inzaghi, Zola etc. From 1992-1998 there was always one Italian team in the Champions League final, PLUS the two-in-a-row that Milan won in 89 & 90. It all probably culminated in the all-Italian 2003 final between Juve & Milan, and the greatest final of all time in 2005 when all-star Milan choked against underdogs Liverpool. Italy’s national team reached 3 world cup finals during this time (1982, 1994, 2006), winning the first and last of them.
Bruh u forgot to mention he also faced one of the best if not the best striker in history if not for 3 courier ending injuries and a disease that makes him gain weight stupidly fast which is RONALDO NAZARIO NICKNAMED THE PHENOMENO by Brazilians which are born to play soccer yet they nicked him phenomeno
Kinda silly how they kept going on about his positioning and reading of the game, and that quote about tackling, whilst showing him launch himself into tackles again and again! Guess tight marking doesn't make for highlight reels! I'd have him as my number 1 defender
To put something mentioned in the video into perspective; the Serie A was the BEST league in the world, not only in the 80's, but also the 90s and even into the early 2000s. In this 30 year period, almost every club had at least one bonafied legend on the team and the league overall was extremely competitive. Not only that, but Italian clubs competed in Europe. Even Sampdoria made it to the UCL final in 1992 and Parma won 2 UEFA Cups by 1999 (which is crazy to think now).
as a child when I went to milan to watch the milan games, I saw him play, a great player, now at milan he is doing an extraordinary job bringing strong players to milan, fun fact: he is one of the owners of Miami fc, a team that plays in the USL , next nesta or baresi?
One of Maldini’s best teammates on AC Milan and Italy was Andrea Pirlo, who you still need to react to. He is a top 10 midfielder of all time and he is the best passer and one of the best long range shooters I’ve ever seen!
One of, yes. But Baresi, Gullit, Van Basten, Kaka, Nesta and Rikaard are all further ahead as GOAT’s in their respective positions :P ..ok, Kaka is a stretch for the latter statement (too many midfield goats, and his prime, much like Ronaldinho, was too short), but he was THE star of mid-00s Milan!
The Dutchmen were top 3 in Ballon d'Or 4 years in a row. Gullit and Rijkaard are head and shoulders above Pirlo even though Pirlo is a legend. Gullit is one of the greatest players of all time, as a defender, a midfielder and a forward.
Paolo Maldini doesn't take the ball away from you The ball was never yours to begin with, he simply let you go around playing with it as if you borrowed it
Maldini, Vidiç, Nesta, Carvalho, Cannavaro (only defender to win ballon d'or), Rio, Terry, Zanetti, Beckenbauer, Lahm, Koeman, Stam, Hierro, Thuram, Cafu, Laurent Blanc... and many more, you still have a lot to learn in the defensive department 😅
Kids: vvd is the goat defender Adults: ramos is the goat defender Legends: maldini is the goat defender Beyond legends: beckenbauer is the goat defender Chads: maguire is the goat defender
I think the video said it best but it can't be said enough Maldini defended legends from Diego Maradona, to Ronaldo (R9) and Zidane, to Zlatan and Henry to CR7. He definitely deserves consideration for all time defensive lineups. It's a shame he retired before Italy's 2006 World Cup winning squad
@@ragnarok283 Tells you EVERYTHING you need to know about what's "normal" in Sere A back then. There is a TON of footage of Maldini doing karate kick jump slides at players who nutmegged or dribbled past him. Here he is getting owned and hacking at Ronaldo like a butcher.
In terms of all time defenders it’s hard to rank I think as football players id go 1. Beckenbauer 2. Maldini 3. Baresi Etc. But purely defensively 1. Baresi 2. Nesta 3. Scirea 4. Maldini 5. Figueroa 6. Passarela Etc.
The crazy thing about Paolo is he has 2 World Cup silver medals and one bronze, and if he stuck with the national team in 2006 he would've lifted the World Cup too, to add to his 5th Champions League title he would lift in 2007. Crazy thing is at 39 he was still on the Ballon d'Or shortlist, along with Kaka, Messi and CR7.
Italian defenders are well know to be greatest in football history, and Maldini is along side Beckenbauer the two defenders that cannot miss any 11 of the best ever played the sport. You just started watching football wich means the english media has your interest (fare enough EPL is the best right now), but before 2010 Italian serie A was the best league for decades, at least ever since the 80's.
Finally reacting to a legendary rossonero. He had ability of wing back going forward and no nonsence defender when staying back. Best LB and CB of all time and he's I'm biased. He was and is a legendary figure in San siro(our stadium) and now he's made amazing signings for us in less price. Forza Milan 🔴⚫
Glorious player. My favourite defender ever is Fernando Hierro. He scored more than 100 goals for Real Madrid and also was the top scorer of Spain until Raul and David Villa made more goals than him. Not bad for a central defender.
Why do people tend to forget about Frank Beckenbauer when talking about the greatest defender. For me and everyone who truly understand football Maldini is the second greatest defender just behind that German machine
He was nominated for the ballon d'or in 1994 as the best LB in world football and again later as the best CB in the world. He was the best in both positions, that's how good he was
He retired at 39, playing since a teenager. And he was still elite as fcuk and could've kept going. Best defender I've ever seen. Scored clutch Final goals too. #GOAT
BEST DEFENDER ALL OF TIME FOR ME : 1. PAOLO MALDINI 2. FRANZ BECKENBAUER 3. CANNAVARO 4. FRANCO BARESI 5. SERGIO RAMOS 6. PUYOL 7. NESTA 8. THURAM (JUVE) 9. CAMPBELL 10. RIO FERDINAND
1:35 that was literally the italian style of football since i know aiut the sport, i saw them do it in the world cup 2006 and they still did that against Belgium in the last euro, it's not the best tactic nor the most beautiful and a little risky depending on when you start it but they do it so good that it made them win, it's controversial because they flop a little while doing it, to gain some time, but they truly are the masters of that tactic
Back then players wouldn't flop like today. If Paolo did that tackle today, the player would sell the flop hard and get Paolo a red easy. Back then it was a men sport.
VVD is great dont get me wrong (Liverpool fan since 04) but Maldini did this for decades and at a high/top level,as a whole vvd as amazing as he is he isnt even close to the overall career of Maldini and thats why people put Maldini (myself included) as the best.
Nah Paulo Maldini should’ve been in your team at left back not centre back. He was great at centre back too in the later stages of his career but Maldini was by far at his best at left back which is where he played in the great team that had Van basten, rijkaard, gullit, Baresi etc.
@@leroyramirez5815 we are talking about da bronco all time line up and he already has Roberto carlos in lb , so would you take out van dijk or carlos ?abviously van dijk right ?
Football on the 90s eas very defensive, then they banned returning the ball to the keeper hands with your foot and teams had to get out of the back and play higher
Honestly I can't rank him bc I have never seen him play, I only have knowledge from watching highlights and what I hear...from what I see I'll rate him at least top 3, sounds like his best of all time but like I say bronco, I've never seen him play bro lol

His son Daniel Maldini is also currently at AC Milan, hope he continues the family legacy well
He’s currently out on loan but he does have a lot of potential
plays as a cam tho
