Guarda, hai ragione, una volta si simulava semplicemente meno. Una volta però c'era anche un senso di rispetto diverso: se eri contro un giocatore del carisma e dell'aura leggendaria di baresi (come anche facchetti, scirea, Beckenbauer, Maldini, Zanetti e pochi altri), simulare, giocare sporco era veramente considerato un atto inqualificabile da fan e rivali, se ne si usciva con la reputazione macchiatissima. Oggi questa cosa si è persa purtroppo.
That´s true, most of the amazing tacles depicted today ould be called fouls. I think chronic faking started to be a problem in the mid nineties when FIFA instructed referees to "protect the talent".
Nope, I'm 200 yr old and it's always been part of football, esp on the continent and in South America. When foreign players invaded England, starting in the 70's all the way through to now, the tough Germans used to go down if there was a sniper in the ground, Klinsman for eg and he was well in the Barasi era.
fetuso fetuso football was a very different sport back then though a player like Neymar wouldn’t cope players like Gattuso would have none of his antics
He is like a lion in the pitch, defending his territory like a king. Seeing him inspired many to play in defence. Defending is also an art, he taught the world.
it is an art ur right. The same way theres footwork in dribbling, attacking and being on the ball, there is defending and being off it. Getting it back shows intelligence and knowledge of dribbling/footwork and in itself requires u to have good footwork to follow it and win it back, and go in at the right time. Aside from just foot races and shoulder to shoulder battles where its all in the physicality, 1 on 1s requires footwork and timing the same way dribbling does. Ur having to do the same thing as the attacker effectively in a lot of instances but without the ball (this is something that gets overlooked too often)
Especially if you think it was after only 17 days since a surgery on his broken meniscus, an injury occurred in the first matches of the WC...and he was already 34 years old!!
all his career was like that final...that s the thing...Baresi is the greatest because of that. I di not remember a player who overcame him.....not even Maradona....Baresi was just toooo good
Mmh I don't know... Offensive players in Serie a in that years were the best in the world. Maradona, Van Basten, Gullit, Zico, Platini, Matthäus, Falcao, Weah, Baggio, Batistuta, Zidane, Del Piero, Ronaldo and so many more
Baresi, Costacurta, Maldini and Tassoti were the best defense of that era. In the period from 1989 to 1995, they played 5 Champions League/European Cup finals - 1989, 1990, 1993, 1994 and 1995. It was a monstrously strong team.
*Fun Fact:* Baresi was only *5'9* , but obviously this was during a time where you didn't need height to compensate for your lack of ability to defend.
Just imagined italy team now have 5 backs and that's baresi, maldini, nesta, fachetti and cannavaro.Probably rivals team couldn't scored one goal if italy have these 5 hell of defenders.Insane!

That italia generation of 94' deserved to win a worldcup.. such a shame what happened in the penalty shoutouts ..im not italian but ill never forget that day, their whole journey in that world cup was heroic, at least 6 key players played injured including Baresi and Roberto Baggio.. i watched all the games, Italia impressed me the most cause they played with heart and soul in that tournament, that generation didnt win the trophy but they won our hearts forever! 💙
Franchino Baresi, popularly known as Franco Baresi (born on May 8, 1960 in Travagliato), is a former Italian footballer, known as one of the best defenders in history. He developed his entire career at AC Milan. Baresi is the second best player in the history of AC Milan after Paolo Maldini played more games with his club with a total of 719 games, also stands out as a player who won almost everything with his club; to have been champion 6 times of the Serie A, 4 times of the Italian Super Cup, 3 times champion of the Champions League, 3 times of the European Super Cup and 2 times of the Intercontinental Cup with a total of 18 titles. The Italian The national team won the 1982 World Cup. He was selected in 19th place as one of the 100 best players of the twentieth century by the magazine World Soccer, and 17th in Placar magazine in 1999. He was also selected as one of the 50 best players of the 20th century by Guerin . Sportivo Magazine. On the other hand, Pelé selected him as one of the FIFA 100 players, he was included in the all-time team by Planet Foot magazine in 1996. He was also selected by the newspaper La Repubblica and the Dutch magazine Voetbal International as one of the the best soccer players and was selected player of the year in Italy in 1990. For all this, in his honor, AC Milan retired shirt number 6 in recognition of his successful career and is considered today as one of the best liberos in the world. Fifa describes him as an "extraordinary" player.
Magical & wonderful. Before Baresi there was only forwards and goals. After I seen Baresi my eyes were opened to the art of defending. No. 6 forever Baresi
Siempre veo comentarios en los que se pone a Puyol como el mejor de la historia. Pero comparado con franco, debo decir que no le llega a los talones. Garra, velocidad, resistencia, salto y juego aéreo, liderazgo, táctica, atacando, pasándola, salir jugando, resistencia. El mejor defensa de la historia!
Ósea que Puyol no tiene garra? No era rápido poco resistencia y el juego aéreo no era muy bueno, ya de liderazgo ni hablamos, no se como es que se le tiene tanto respeto a Puyol en el mundo del fútbol, lo que hay que leer
@@cpweldinga3865 a lo que me refiero es que, la gente siempre dice que Puyol era el que más tenía garra, y lo colocan en el Olimpo de los defensas, cuando hubieron 20 mejores que el, y entre esos 20, Baresi está entre los tres primeros, y quizás sea el primero. El problema está en que los niños rata creen que el fútbol lo inventó Guardiola. Lo que hay que leer...
@@cpweldinga3865 Las opiniones personales son respetables... Pero no son absolutas. Para mí, y para la historia del fútbol queda en debate. Pero puedo crear una lista de los mejores defensores de la historia. Y hay muchos los cuales superan a Puyol, y otros los cuales están al mismo nivel que el. Beckenbauer Baresi Maldini Scirea Figueroa Moore Nesta Blanc Desailly Stam Bergomi Gentile Cannavaro Passarella Kohler Santamaría Picchi Krol Adams Hierro Koeman Tresor Bossis Vierchowod Schulz Y otros que son mejores o están a un nivel parecido. Terry Ferdinand Vidic Carvalho Costacurta Thiago Silva Chiellini En tal. Son opciones, eso no le quita a Puyol el ser uno de los mejores de la historia también. Saludos.
I appreciate you for understanding players of 80s-90s and making videos about them...rather than CR7 and messi...People who joined these don't know how good football & players was back then
Dalla Serie B al tetto del Mondo - sempre e solo con il Milan! Grande Franco, Capitano unico e Uomo con due palle cosi!!!!!! Grazie di tutto Franco, orgoglio Rossonero e di tutti gli italiani!
no doubt the best central defender in football history when he wins the ball he switch to midfielder with good pace passing and he finish the action he build or assist to his teammates which is brilliantly amazing grazie franco baresi 🇮🇹 thx for the upploader 2 🤞❤️
The late legendary Swedish player and coach Nils Liedholm (who played for and trained AC Milan) when asked to name some of the best italian players ever, replied :"Baresi, Baresi, Baresi, Baresi and Baresi"
Speak about Franco Baresi, it remind me to his Asics football boots. Always dream to wear one & finally I afford to had one with my money that I collected. This happened more than 30 years ago. I had a wonderful moment to watched the Serie A weekly report broadcast to us once a week on those days. Still fresh in memory some of great Milan players: Rijkaard, Gullit, Van Basten, Maldini, Albertini, Massaro, Contacurta, to name a few. Such a great moment. Viva 1990’s.
El mejor defensa de todos los tiempos. Que pena que en ese tiempo no hubieran tantos videos como hoy. Hay grandes defensivos en la historia y la mayoria son de Italia, pero el mejor sin duda alguna es Franco.
Great vid of just how Awesome this man is on the Football pitch. He is example of Defending Art.. so never talk of GOAT as only forwards, Baresi is Brilliant in more ways than any other player. and Franco is Great as Leader, a true Captain and inspiration, human qualities are above even football.
Far and away the best defender of all time. This video also clearly shows how todays "top" defenders haven't got the first clue about positional sense and tactical awareness.
Now this is just blatant nostalgia bias. Today's top defenders : Ramos, VVD, Chielini etc all have great awareness, positioning and defensive abilities. I'm not saying they are on the level of baresi, but they aren't terrible.
@@kingcr7-g.o.a.t383 both are ridiculous. I’d give him a solid 86-88. He was very very fast on the acceleration but obviously not as fast as a sprinter

Agree, Beckenbauer was a very good middlefielder who adapted as a defender. Baresi, imho, had it all, except the fact maybe he was'n to so good at heading, but he was the classical sweeper (even in the Sacchi's AC Milan), so he did'n t really need it
Baresi is better at tackling... Beckenbauer is more skilful on the ball... both were great readers of the game... possibly the 2 best central defenders of all time.

@@kamfroghminuscolo9387 è la valutazione che fa il mercato non io, per quanto baresi sia forte non può valere più di mbappè o neymar che sono attaccanti
IL NUMERO 1! Un Capitano, l'unico capitano! Ho avuto l'onore di vederti giocare dal vivo e sollevare decine di trofei con il grande Milan. Grazie capitano. Buon compleanno. Forza Milan 🔴⬛️🔴⬛️
One of the greatest defensive leaders in football history. Super game reading, tackling, anticipation and head shot skills. Very strong personality on the pitch, impressive leading.
3:40 That acceleration is incredible: it takes Baresi about 3.95 seconds to travel from the edge of the D to the halfway line. If an XI aside pitch is 120m in length, he travels 39.85m in 3.95 seconds, averaging at around 37kmh, all with the ball on a poor pitch!!
People don't understand this was the the greatest feature of Baresi. Nobody in history could take the ball from his box and overturn the momentum of the game, throwing off balance the opponent team. He was the life of AC Milan in defense, but he was the first in beginning the attacking game
94' World Cup Final Romario met his maker .Two of the most important members in squad lost a penalty.An injured Baresi had Italy's defense gate closed , thus runner ups , great team. Generally speaking that's how unpredictable football's nature can be and that's where the magic settles in .
Franco Baresi was the best defender of all time !!! ... How he was able to anticipate game situations was already extraterrestrial !!! .. A real defense chief with high game intelligence ... the best example of this was the legendary offside trap by AC milan in the late 80s early 90s with Baresi as libero and clock, and the triple chain in front of him with Costacurta central, Maldini on the left and Tassotti on the right to dominate a true power demonstration in Europe (5 times in the final of the CL in 7 years !!! ) ... it was a little long ago, but still a piece of football history with Baresis signature
He's a sweeper defender, a position that doesn't really exist anymore in today's football. Football, and thus defending, was played differently in that era.
Exactly, the sweeper defender was a position behind all defenders, it was the last man before the Gk and the one who called the other defenders and set their positions. Sweepers defenders (or "liberi" in italian) were probably the fusion of a defender and a midfielder.
Why is the music of these videos always so hysterical? This should be accompanied by italian opera. That would the appropriate soundtrack for a Baresi-skill-video
We were in the middle of the golden years of Serie A, when a defender gracefully led you :) Here even Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo would have found it much more difficult :) with all respect for the 2 .
Its a harsh example of football ignorance to see amazing players like Baresi and then stil claim that Messi or Ronaldo are "best player ever", when neither of them are and neither of them could play like Baresi, Maldini, Nesta etc.. which proves football is COLLECTIVE and there has never been nor will be only one player better than all others.
1° *Baresi* Faced the best generation of 9 shirts in the world
2° *Beckenbauer* He stopped the greatest tactical genius of the four Cruyff lines
3° *Maldini* The best defender of his generation, weighs not to have a World Cup, is acclaimed as the perfect defender by all his rivals
4° *Scirea* The greatest and best defender of the 80's, monster regularity and tactical notion out of series, stopped Zico and Maradona in one cup, great

Da interista grande rispetto per Baresi, guardando questo video mi sono emozionato, che gran giocatore che è stato, purtroppo non ne sforniamo più così...
Già...gli ultimi son stati maldini e zanetti i giocatori di oggi sono delle fighette tatuate senza palle che non si prendono alcuna responsabilità
Mamma mia Francone. Ogni tanto è bello rinfrescarsi la memoria. Quanto giocavi bene
Liked before I watched. It’s often forgotten how good on the ball he was. Baresi#1
Wow.Absolutely amazing.
1 finest art of defending
2.true grit
3.superb timing of tackles.
The most greater defender I've never seen on football fields. Baresi was supernatural.
Franz Was A Genius (The Original From Germany)!
@@M.EngelhART Baresi was the greatest along Maldini and Scirea!
@@NoName-hg6cc I Don`t Agree. They Also Hadn`t This Genius And Skills Of Beckenbauer. His Elegance Was Unique And His Play With The Outside Of The Foot. 60 Meters Passes Were Often Exactly Perfect And My Parents Spoke Years Later About, That He Was Walking And Running Like An Aesthetic Galloping Horse. Even "Pelè" Remarked, That He Could Play In His Best National Team.
@@M.EngelhART I don't agree with you either. Beckenbauer didn't have Maldini elegance, Baresi tackle, which was perfection, or wasn't as good as, Scirea with the ball. Maradona himself praised at least one of them and so did Ronaldo el fenomeno
@@NoName-hg6ccHe Is Untouchable And Changed The Game Revolutionary. He Was The First "Playing", Technical Libero, Who Was Part Of Offense Game. He Was The Leading Man And Captain Of Germany (World Champion, European Title And CL-Winner 3 Times In A Row). People And Experts Were Voting For Hin As The Best Defender Of The 20 Century. They Called Him "The Kaiser" Because Of Many Reasons.
That italia generation of 94' deserved to win a worldcup.. such a shame what happened in the penalty shoutouts ..im not italian but ill never forget that day, their whole journey in that world cup was heroic, at least 6 key players played injured including Baresi and Roberto Baggio.. i watched all the games, Italia impressed me the most cause they played with heart and soul in that tournament, that generation didnt win the trophy but they won our hearts forever! 💙
A World cup 3rd place, a World cup runners up, and also a World Cup winner.....Franco Baresi for you 👏
Best defender ever
Qaz there is paolo maldini
Yup u are right
gaetano scirea is better
no
Becakenbauer best defender ever
What a defender! His reading of the game was just incredible.
Franchino Baresi, popularly known as Franco Baresi (born on May 8, 1960 in Travagliato), is a former Italian footballer, known as one of the best defenders in history. He developed his entire career at AC Milan.
Baresi is the second best player in the history of AC Milan after Paolo Maldini played more games with his club with a total of 719 games, also stands out as a player who won almost everything with his club; to have been champion 6 times of the Serie A, 4 times of the Italian Super Cup, 3 times champion of the Champions League, 3 times of the European Super Cup and 2 times of the Intercontinental Cup with a total of 18 titles. The Italian The national team won the 1982 World Cup.
He was selected in 19th place as one of the 100 best players of the twentieth century by the magazine World Soccer, and 17th in Placar magazine in 1999. He was also selected as one of the 50 best players of the 20th century by Guerin . Sportivo Magazine. On the other hand, Pelé selected him as one of the FIFA 100 players, he was included in the all-time team by Planet Foot magazine in 1996. He was also selected by the newspaper La Repubblica and the Dutch magazine Voetbal International as one of the the best soccer players and was selected player of the year in Italy in 1990.
For all this, in his honor, AC Milan retired shirt number 6 in recognition of his successful career and is considered today as one of the best liberos in the world. Fifa describes him as an "extraordinary" player.
Magical & wonderful. Before Baresi there was only forwards and goals. After I seen Baresi my eyes were opened to the art of defending. No. 6 forever Baresi
Siempre veo comentarios en los que se pone a Puyol como el mejor de la historia. Pero comparado con franco, debo decir que no le llega a los talones.
Garra, velocidad, resistencia, salto y juego aéreo, liderazgo, táctica, atacando, pasándola, salir jugando, resistencia. El mejor defensa de la historia!
verdade jogou muito ,Baresi lenda.
Ósea que Puyol no tiene garra? No era rápido poco resistencia y el juego aéreo no era muy bueno, ya de liderazgo ni hablamos, no se como es que se le tiene tanto respeto a Puyol en el mundo del fútbol, lo que hay que leer
@@cpweldinga3865 a lo que me refiero es que, la gente siempre dice que Puyol era el que más tenía garra, y lo colocan en el Olimpo de los defensas, cuando hubieron 20 mejores que el, y entre esos 20, Baresi está entre los tres primeros, y quizás sea el primero.
El problema está en que los niños rata creen que el fútbol lo inventó Guardiola.
Lo que hay que leer...
DanSti BerZap para mi Puyol no es el mejor, pero para mi esta entre los 5 mejores, baresi me encanta este tipo de defensas creo que están en extinción
@@cpweldinga3865 Las opiniones personales son respetables... Pero no son absolutas.
Para mí, y para la historia del fútbol queda en debate.
Pero puedo crear una lista de los mejores defensores de la historia. Y hay muchos los cuales superan a Puyol, y otros los cuales están al mismo nivel que el.
Beckenbauer
Baresi
Maldini
Scirea
Figueroa
Moore
Nesta
Blanc
Desailly
Stam
Bergomi
Gentile
Cannavaro
Passarella
Kohler
Santamaría
Picchi
Krol
Adams
Hierro
Koeman
Tresor
Bossis
Vierchowod
Schulz
Y otros que son mejores o están a un nivel parecido.
Terry
Ferdinand
Vidic
Carvalho
Costacurta
Thiago Silva
Chiellini
En tal. Son opciones, eso no le quita a Puyol el ser uno de los mejores de la historia también. Saludos.
I appreciate you for understanding players of 80s-90s and making videos about them...rather than CR7 and messi...People who joined these don't know how good football & players was back then
Dalla Serie B al tetto del Mondo - sempre e solo con il Milan!
Grande Franco, Capitano unico e Uomo con due palle cosi!!!!!!
Grazie di tutto Franco, orgoglio Rossonero e di tutti gli italiani!
no doubt the best central defender in football history when he wins the ball he switch to midfielder with good pace passing and he finish the action he build or assist to his teammates which is brilliantly amazing grazie franco baresi 🇮🇹 thx for the upploader 2 🤞❤️
The late legendary Swedish player and coach Nils Liedholm (who played for and trained AC Milan) when asked to name some of the best italian players ever, replied :"Baresi, Baresi, Baresi, Baresi and Baresi"
Liedholm is a fucking legend. Underrated and somewhat forgotten because of the era he played in.
@@Jearbearjenkins The swedish trio of the 50s was better than the ducht trio of the 80s
Speak about Franco Baresi, it remind me to his Asics football boots. Always dream to wear one & finally I afford to had one with my money that I collected. This happened more than 30 years ago. I had a wonderful moment to watched the Serie A weekly report broadcast to us once a week on those days. Still fresh in memory some of great Milan players: Rijkaard, Gullit, Van Basten, Maldini, Albertini, Massaro, Contacurta, to name a few. Such a great moment. Viva 1990’s.
He is THE reason why I cheer up AC Milan. Il Capitano!!! My favorite European player
El mejor defensa de todos los tiempos. Que pena que en ese tiempo no hubieran tantos videos como hoy. Hay grandes defensivos en la historia y la mayoria son de Italia, pero el mejor sin duda alguna es Franco.
I wish Baresi could come out of retirement to defend against this music !!!
Song name?

Great vid of just how Awesome this man is on the Football pitch. He is example of Defending Art..
so never talk of GOAT as only forwards, Baresi is Brilliant in more ways than any other player.
and Franco is Great as Leader, a true Captain and inspiration, human qualities are above even football.
El mejor libero de la historia del futbol
beckenbauer
This channel is so awesome!!
Far and away the best defender of all time. This video also clearly shows how todays "top" defenders haven't got the first clue about positional sense and tactical awareness.
Maldini was much better
@@andreasansonetto4122 Nesta was better than both.
Now this is just blatant nostalgia bias. Today's top defenders : Ramos, VVD, Chielini etc all have great awareness, positioning and defensive abilities. I'm not saying they are on the level of baresi, but they aren't terrible.
One know less than the other lmao dont talk if u are so ignorant
@@ciaronsmith4995 no he wasn’t
His greatest advantage was his pace and physical strength. Real legend

@@kingcr7-g.o.a.t383 both are ridiculous. I’d give him a solid 86-88. He was very very fast on the acceleration but obviously not as fast as a sprinter
Il miglior libero di sempre e lo dico da juventino.
Anche il grande scirea era fortissimo...e lo dico da milanista!!! Per me erano pari...poi questione di gusti...ma tutti e due dei titani!!! Lo dico da sportivo.
Secondo me come libero era migliore Scirea ma come puro difensore centrale Baresi era insuperabile

@@kamfroghminuscolo9387 la storia dice semplicemente che fino a quando Scirea non si è ritirato in nazionale giocava lui. scirea è stato un grande libero, baresi era un grande difensore centrale, forse il migliore di tutti, ma sono due cose diverse.
@@alessiofe è vero erano diversi ma due fuoriclasse allo stato puro.. Dopo mexico 86 Scirea si ritirò a 33anni.. e Baresi 26 anni raccolse il testimone..
El mejor central que vi en mi vida .Jamás nadie volverá a tirar el fuera de juego como el.
Better than Beckenbauer in my opinion. He was awesome against Brazil although he missed the PK.
Agree, Beckenbauer was a very good middlefielder who adapted as a defender. Baresi, imho, had it all, except the fact maybe he was'n to so good at heading, but he was the classical sweeper (even in the Sacchi's AC Milan), so he did'n t really need it
Baresi is better at tackling... Beckenbauer is more skilful on the ball... both were great readers of the game... possibly the 2 best central defenders of all time.
Baresi con quello che ha vinto almeno due palloni d'oro!!!!!
Baresi is the best italian libero ever but Beckebauer was better and more influent not only for his team but for the game as a whole.
Kaiser played almost midfielder other football both Extraterrestrial
What a player!!! Stratosferico Franco Baresi!! Lui Maldini e Cannavaro sempre in campo, in ogni squadra, di ogni tempo!! Onore a questo grande campione anche dai "nemici" Napoletani
You made me cry with this video, thanks mate 🙏
Q defensor fantástico, Barsei era completo, sou fã dele
Melhor zagueiro que vi jogar ... FRANCO BARESI
When it comes to defending Baresi is simply an all time great and one of the best ever central defenders.
Se Caldara é valutato 40 milioni di euro un baresi nel 2018 come minimo varrebbe quanto? Un miliardo? 2? Che capitano. Un eroe. Il migliore. Leggenda.
Baresi valore inestimabile!!!.....

EA is sh*t
Absolute BEAST!!!!! when the sport had men
great video ! man those surging runs down the middle. epic
The greatest of all time. No doubt.
Much love and respect for "the hatchet" - from 🇬🇧
IL NUMERO 1! Un Capitano, l'unico capitano! Ho avuto l'onore di vederti giocare dal vivo e sollevare decine di trofei con il grande Milan.
Grazie capitano.
Buon compleanno.
Forza Milan 🔴⬛️🔴⬛️
One of the greatest defensive leaders in football history. Super game reading, tackling, anticipation and head shot skills. Very strong personality on the pitch, impressive leading.
Melhor zagueiro que vi jogar, coisa que hj em dia não se vê mais. Baresi jogava muito.
Capitano mio capitano!
Man City fan here respecting Baresi, best defender I've ever seen and heart of a lion ❤ Maradona said it all ⚽️🔥
Best central defender i've ever seen play.
3:40
That acceleration is incredible: it takes Baresi about 3.95 seconds to travel from the edge of the D to the halfway line. If an XI aside pitch is 120m in length, he travels 39.85m in 3.95 seconds, averaging at around 37kmh, all with the ball on a poor pitch!!
People don't understand this was the the greatest feature of Baresi.
Nobody in history could take the ball from his box and overturn the momentum of the game, throwing off balance the opponent team.
He was the life of AC Milan in defense, but he was the first in beginning the attacking game
8:04 the standard of the game was so high back then
One of the greatest players ever played football is life x x x x x :))
Uno dei migliori, spaziale!
Legendary Italian defender players are the greatest of all the time
Assolute the best one after Maradona!! 💪💪, thanks Franco
Uno dei più grandi calciatori della storia del calcio...Capitano di una squadra leggendaria...6 PER SEMPRE
6 × sempre capitan Franco Baresi
Forza Milan!!!
94' World Cup Final Romario met his maker .Two of the most important members in squad lost a penalty.An injured Baresi had Italy's defense gate closed , thus runner ups , great team. Generally speaking that's how unpredictable football's nature can be and that's where the magic settles in .
If baggio was at full health they might’ve won
Franco Baresi the legend 🔴⚫️🔴⚫️
Franco Baresi was the best defender of all time !!! ... How he was able to anticipate game situations was already extraterrestrial !!! .. A real defense chief with high game intelligence ... the best example of this was the legendary offside trap by AC milan in the late 80s early 90s with Baresi as libero and clock, and the triple chain in front of him with Costacurta central, Maldini on the left and Tassotti on the right to dominate a true power demonstration in Europe (5 times in the final of the CL in 7 years !!! ) ... it was a little long ago, but still a piece of football history with Baresis signature
Franco and Paolo. The best defenders ever !
He's a sweeper defender, a position that doesn't really exist anymore in today's football. Football, and thus defending, was played differently in that era.
Dian Dian it was the famous catenaccio style
you don't know what you're talking about, no offence.
Exactly, the sweeper defender was a position behind all defenders, it was the last man before the Gk and the one who called the other defenders and set their positions. Sweepers defenders (or "liberi" in italian) were probably the fusion of a defender and a midfielder.
Rahim Sharif, you are great with your remark!
Why is the music of these videos always so hysterical? This should be accompanied by italian opera. That would the appropriate soundtrack for a Baresi-skill-video
Maldini had played with many great players, but when ask " who is the best player you play with " there are only one that's Baressi
jogador raiz. sangue nos olhos. coragem & determinação.
The word Legend is used not deservedly sometimes.
This guy is a true LEGEND.
The best of all time 🙌
awesome video. would like to see one of paolo montero
r9flm40 juventus butcher..love it
Montero was a monster at Juve in the 90's.
look at what was considered a tackle just a decade ago and then thinking about today's world class forward supposed to have 60 goals min a season...
We were in the middle of the golden years of Serie A, when a defender gracefully led you :) Here even Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo would have found it much more difficult :) with all respect for the 2 .
Baresi il più forte difensore della storia del calcio. Un mito. Inarrivabile.
Posicionamento ótimo Tempo perfeito de cabeça desarme preciso
E Leal e Sempre muito cabeça erguida elegante Baresi
Its a harsh example of football ignorance to see amazing players like Baresi and then stil claim that Messi or Ronaldo are "best player ever", when neither of them are and neither of them could play like Baresi, Maldini, Nesta etc.. which proves football is COLLECTIVE and there has never been nor will be only one player better than all others.
I remember in the nineties there was a game named Franco Baresi World Cup - Kick Off. Was a great game.
Beautiful franco bravo bro :))
6 per sempre ❤🖤
