Claudio Gentile....probably the toughest defender of that era. I remember the classic quote, "either the ball will pass me or the opposing player.....but not together!"
It's funny, but the defensive partnership of Gentile and Scirea in itself was pretty much a perfect representation of Italian football. Gentile, on one hand, cynical, ruthless, and willing to stretch the rules right to the limit to win, and on the other hand, Scirea, graceful and sublime, a genius who created magic on the pitch.
@@Rex67Diego9 Funny comment on a video like this. If the punch in the face by Gentile wasn't cheating, then what is? In other words: Despite the "hand of God", Maradone was cheated against far more than he was a cheat.
Gentile the hardest toughest most uncompromising defender. Relies on brute strength and aggression. Scirea the politest fairest gentlemanly defender. Relies on skill reading the game and positioning. Never got a red card in career. Playing together they were like Italy and Juventus' good cop bad cop.
i didn´t see a team that can´t play football on that video... there is maradonna well defended by gentile and italy dancing with the argentinians... beautiful plays, incredible speed, really nice football... not every country has to win like brazil... FORZA ITALIA!
gentile was a magnificent defender...he was sent off only one time..great fair play..this is football of 80's......he was hard as passarella, stilike, gallego......i hope to see another claudio gentile in italy team
I am from Holland and i share STADIOAZTECA opinion. Passarella was also brutal, especillay with his elbows. But Passarella was also a wonderfull footballer, great passing, great leading, and heading, he even had a pretty good technique.
He was amazing at stopping the threats of the oppositions star man , but to be fair he could also play a bit of football he was just allocated to do a number on the most dangerous attacking players and came out on top most of the time & It was key to the Italians success, I personally loved the guy back in the day when football was a contact sport , I loved a tackle not like the game today where contact of the slightest touch and they go down like a hooker's knickers.
In the 80s, football was not for dancers. Today, however, football is for dancers. Maradona was constantly beaten while today the champions are protected
The truth is you don't have to know much about football to understand what happened on that day - Diego was too much class for Gentile, completely outsmarted him everytime and Gentile couldn't stop him playing football, so HE resorted to playing rugby (look at Diego's torn shirt after the game and at his bloddy shins and ankles). Enough said
This era was only surpassed by the 60's for hard players. I loved to hate them as I understood that era had players unable to be stopped legally. It was the football I grew up with, played by gentlemen.
I am French (non biased) and clearly remember Claudio Gentile as being one of the most elegant and efficient backs ever. He was very far from the brutal style that the Argentinian defense was playing.
Both Gentile and Poland s best player Boniek we're suspended for the 1982 WC semi final.. Rumours have it that Gentile sat next to Boniek in the stadium
Well, defending is not just "kicking opponents", and defending is an essentail part of playing football. If defending is so easy, everybody should have defended well against a monster like Maradona. Only a few players could stop him.

onor to the greate BRUNO CONTI.. and shame there'snt any footage on you tube about a greate player that GIANCARLO ANTOGNIONI was.... ( he got ingiured before the final.. shame)
los argentinos no nos podemos quejar, tenemos mas defensores como gentile ( asperos, rudos) que como maldini que era un tiempista, teniamos a passarella, gallego, ruggeri que eran tipos asperos, a esos los aplaudiamos por sus caracteristicas, pero cuando nos tocan el culo como en ese partido con gentile nos quejamos hasta el dia de hoy
Italy had some insanely good defenders and some of the best goalkeepers in the last 40 years. Scirea, Baresi, Bergomi, Maldini, Ferrara, Nesta, Cannavaro, the BBC trio (Barzagli Bonucci Chiellini), even the roughest ones like Materazzi and Gentile... Zoff, Tacconi, Pagliuca, Zenga, Peruzzi, Toldo, Buffon.
I know Gentile is a historic defender, but Gentile has only stopped Maradona with violence that deserves no less than ten expulsions diego maradona the best player before his generation and His generation and after his generation the best player in history of football and will not be repeated until the end of the world
Jose Lazo con los árbitros sobreprotectores que hay hoy en dia que rozas a los jugadores y te sacan roja tu crees que duraria un partido entero gentile???
He was not violent, he was never expelled for a violent foul. He has only been sent off once in his career, for hitting the ball with his hand. Maradona said he was violent, but the truth is that Maradona was sent off for a kick in the belly of a Brazilian national team player
He will remain one of the greatest ever,not only as defenser...when he started either on right side than left, it was impossible to stop him, if you remind The world cup of '78 and European Cul of '80!In Spain he was obliged to stop Maradona and Zico anyway because our team hadn't another defenser able to do...GREAT CLAUDIO!
Per me Gentile numero 1 e stato il più forte difensore del mondo dal 1980 ad oggi . Maldini in numero 2 . Gentile ha fermato Zico e Maradona . anche nel campionato italiani nessuno andava via da Gentile . . Non dica catenaccio perche l'Italia in quel mondiale attaccava da tutte le parte ed e stato l'attacco piu forte del mondiale
@axoram Yes I remember Antognoni and many others players from Italia . Baresi,Bergomi,Maldini,Di Genaro,Conti,Scirea,Bagni. Italia always has great players of football. Many people do not like their style of playing,they preffer other countries like Holland for instance ,but Holland never win anything . I like the Seri A since I was a kid ,to me is the best league in the world . Take care .
I am desperately trying to find where can I find this documentary of the 1982 Italian team... Where did u get this clip from? This is the very documentary I am looking for
@987costa you're right. That is the other side of the blemish coin. Deliberate fouling and play-acting are truly tarnishing the beautiful game. I can't see Gentile being hailed for his actions in that match.
Italia 34/38/82/2006 campione. Vice campione 82/94. Grandissimo Gentile. Grandissimo Cabrini. Grandissimo Cannavaro Grandissimo Materazzi. Il calcio for men non per littles girls
@norbellini That is not fair! There are a lot of good english players with much techinque ... Lampard, Gerrard, Ashley Cole just to name a few. I think England with Fabio Capello on the lead will write history in South Africa!
Here I agree with you. Who cares about Brasil? Italy wins, full stop. I'm actually glad that if Argentina didn't win it, atleast Italy did. I can't say much for Gentile though who I believe was anti-football, but Paolo Rossi was a genius.
Gentile exemplifies everything that's bad about football. I can't believe somebody is giving him credit for what he did. Is this the way you win at football? He is the biggest blemish on the beautiful game.
Football is a game of physicality as well as beauty and flair. That's what the purists forget. Some flair players don't like it when you don't let them play and they lose their cool.
