@@milky2sugars true, but you could counter it with so many other options - Zidane, Maradona, Pelé, Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Iniesta, Gullit, Cruyff, Romario, Totti, Ramos, etc.
roy keane a player that every team would want in their side he is just a winner a leader :) you can say whatever you want but he is my favorite player man utd best ever captain
Then you must thank Telê Santana, Telê picked Cafu as a young midfielder that couldnt make a lofted pass, and in São Paulo he made Cafu a beast personally teaching him how to pass, and adapting him to be a fullback. Telê's São Paulo won the Club World Cup back to back in 1992 (against Barça) and 1993 (Against Milan) with Cafu being in the starting XI on both squads, I strongly recomend watching both games as they are just magnificent pieces of football
What a beautiful team ..Elegance , Tenacity, Pace ,Power , Passing quality , Shooting quality from outside and inside the box , Ball players and Ball winners at the back and in midfield ..It's just a perfectly balanced XI
I'd say Maldini would captain the team, less problematic, more respected and a great mentor for the younger teammates. My guess would be that Keane would not take the armband himself and only be vice captain.
I was born and raised outside of Manchester and he does not sound like someone born and raised there at all. His English is good for a foreigner, I have never disputed that. All those towns in the Northwest have different accents.If you are from there you can hear it.
Best One2Eleven so far imho. I like the way he stresses attacking football from a defender's point of view. He could pick a 2nd One2Eleven who would still be world beaters. And as for picking himself- damn right.
This is a fantastic team, on paper it may not be the absolute best position by position(close though), but you also have to consider how the players interact and mesh together on the pitch as well as how you want the team to play, what philosophy you want to implement, and this team is probably one of the best meshing teams I've ever seen. Would beat an all-time XI just off chemistry and connectivity.
lol, what an idiot you are... Did you even watch Ajax in the mid 90? Their golden generation, ruling the Europe. At the time along with Italian Serie A and the Premier league was one of the toughest leagues full of top teams and extraordinary players.
Roy Keane a fantastic footballer and a great man as well . All the time he is on tv a listen what he has to say . I think he needs more space in tv to talk his mind .
I would have given everything to see Seedorf play in the prem. Both him and Scholes are such underrated players that made the game look so easy. He’s also the most valuable Dutch player of all time. Unreal.
KAKA is not even in 'not in it' list, so u can easily say what kind of quality players did he choose. Almost all of them like Giggs, Scholes, Zeedorf, Nesta, Cafu, Maldini played almost two decades on the same level and won everything they could win. Legends everywhere. Jaap Stam was a great player and he was lucky to have amazing teammates around him as well.
As an Arsenal fan, Stam was the one player I dreamed would play for Arsenal. When we came up against Utd I would always hope he wasn't playing, it was so hard to get past him.
As a lifelong United supporter, I agree with Stam's selection. The only thing missing from those types of fantasy teams/ best ever XI is .. another XI in front (plus 2 managers, and at least 3 substitutes for each side).
Everyone outside England know that scholes is the best English player (i'm dutch) but you English people like gerrard and lampard lol they are overrated and shit
Scholes was not a very "English" midfielder. Lampard and Gerrard were more traditional English midfielders. I've always said that Scholes would have suited 2008-2012 Barcelona perfectly, but he was already about 10 years too old by then.
Actually this is football the defense might be the greatest defense that ever exist in world football it's a shame how Liverpool can made a comeback against us in 2005 Istanbul
This guy picked the back four I used on Fifa PS, Cafu, Stam, Nesta and Maldini and I used AC Milan. Midfield had Kaka, Pirlo, Seedorf and Gattuso upfront Shevchenko and Crespo
a really really really good team that. very well balanced, great tacticians in midfield, good enough pace on both flanks, physically strong at the back, massive techniques at the front. wow
That team is just stunningly powerful..From CB pairing to the power of the MF area with Keane and Seedorf..Add to that the best CF I've ever seen in R9. Probably the best team that has been picked thus far by an ex pro
Solid team. Take out Scholes and Giggs, and out in Pirlo and Kaka and you have the perfect team. You could also take out Bergkamp, who Jaap only picked because he's Dutch, and replace him with Shevchenko while you're at it. Now, we're talking.
He put in the Brazilian Ronaldo because he had everything he was lethal there's no need for Shevchenko, Bergkamp would drop off and play as a second striker.
I'm a Liverpool fan and I watched that game. What happened that night, was a fluke. If we were to replay that game a hundred times over, we wouldn't have won
+therealjeagles Apparently most of the AC Milan players were celebrating in the dressing room at half time, i think that says it all, they thought all they had to do was turn up for the second half. If they were 1-0 up at half time instead of 3-0 I think they would have went on to win it cause they would have taken the second half seriously.
+Mutale Malama absolutely, we had that mad 6 mins where we scored 3 goals and then after that got completely out classed , its the best ive ever seen a team play and still loose the game
+Mark Clarke (CavanMan89) Not really, that's just a myth. Hernan Crespo denied the fact that they were celebrating during half time, they remained quiet and acted like it was still a Champions League final against a side that had previously won it 4 times.
Well done Stam , one of the strongest teams I have seen and they actually can play together I agree with everything he said , except 1 I would swoop Denis berkamp and put robben , now close you eyes and imagine , a front 3 of giggs , Ronaldo of Brazil and robben ,that would be on the same level as messi Neymar and Suarez if not better.
I started watching football JUST as Stam was into his twilight years, but already then I could tell how immense he was. Can anyone tell me just how good he was at his prime? Thank you.
There are few players that ever get universal praise and are considered the best in their position in the world. Stam was one of them for several years. He was completely composed at all times, defending or on the ball. Probably the best tackler I have ever seen. Strong in the air and on top of all that he could keep pace with most strikers. There was a reason United fans sang "Get past him if you fucking well can!" Look at the quality of the players he played alongside, this was not by accident.
He was immense! He was unshakeable, a massive presence who was clinical in his role, for hos size he was quick and good on his feet,a razor sharp mind too! Just a fine fine example and role model for what a central defensive player should aspire to!
The strongest defender I ever saw (look at him!) and the pace and technical defending skills to match. As an Arsenal fan I was glad when he left United.
The 2005 milan team that lost the ucl final were justt as good, basicallu this team but with pirlo, kaka, shevvhenko and crespo. They still lost the ucl final and lost the seria a title on the last day of the season.
Sweet jesus could you imagine that team walking out every week to thrash all comers, fookin gladiators!! Not even the oiligarchs nor sheiks could assemble a collective to compete with that team! Has the be the best player pick of a team ever!
Stam wrote in his book,that Fergie had "tapped him up" (i.e met behind the clubs back,to work out a deal that suited Stam and Utd,to the detriment of PSV) Don't think Stam thought he was doing anything wrong,or stitching Fergie up,but it exposed Fergie badly
Conclusion from this video: The Netherlands didn't win the world cup 1998 and 2002 because they lacked a world class defense and a world class midfield-director. Which is exactly the positions that France had world class players for in 1998 - Thuram, Lizarazu & Leabouf defending and Zidane directing in the center.... Same thing with Brazil in 2002 - Cafu, Roberto Carlos & Lucio defending and Rivaldo taking care of the center. Netherland had other good midfielders like Seedorf and Davids, but they didn't have that special one (in 2006 it was Totti for Italy). The strikers I'd say were world class (Kluivert, Hasselbaink, Van Nistelrooy).
He's actually right about Scholes possibly playing for Barcelona, he would fit right in. Scholes only weakness was he couldn't tackle and Barcelona have always had forwards who either couldn't or wouldn't defend.
This is the perfect team it seems, can easily switch into a 3-5-2 with Cafu and Giggs kind of wing-backs and remember Keane can always cover right side defensively if needed if Maldini shifts the back three to the left when Cafu/Giggs pressing on (/Bergkamp dropping off / Seedorf dropping in)
Great, very balance and realistic team..the only difference that i have would be the system..i might go with ancelotti tactic (4-3-2-1) instead 4 3 3..kaka/rooney + bergkamp to roam freely and ronaldo as target man..bergkamp is essential to accompany true goalgetter..
Maldini obviously a no brainier at LB but Denis Irwin should have got an honourable mention. Greatest LB premier league has seen apart from maybe Ashley Cole
Out of the other players 11s I've seen this one is Flawless. Great to see the original Roanldo in (top quality) It's an insult allow spice boy christiano to share the same name he had in Football... Miss him aswel as players like Cafu and Maldini..
This team is one of the strongest I've ever seen
Agreed
@@Donalob = 👍
Absolutely
Its an insane selection
@@milky2sugars true, but you could counter it with so many other options - Zidane, Maradona, Pelé, Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Iniesta, Gullit, Cruyff, Romario, Totti, Ramos, etc.
This selection really just confirms how good Stam was. Not just the eleven selected, but also the quality of players who missed out.
roy keane a player that every team would want in their side he is just a winner a leader :)
you can say whatever you want but he is my favorite player
man utd best ever captain
100% agree
Agree with you about keane, apart from your last comment, United's best ever captain was Bryan Robson.
@@tomdid1 shhh as you can see Nil is very young and doesn't really know all the players yet
Nil 1493 why would you want someone who is a red card waiting to happen
@@AM-ht7xo It's clear you don't know football, stop embarrassing yourself.
Jesus he really has played with some players!!
He cracks me up 😂😂 ‘I pick Giggseh not because of his goal against Arsenal and all his chest hair’
One of the best teams I've seen on this. Guaranteed
A beast of a player Stam was ....
Seeing Cafu in a charity game earlier this year, I swear he could still play now! Probably one of the best athletes to play the game ever!
Then you must thank Telê Santana, Telê picked Cafu as a young midfielder that couldnt make a lofted pass, and in São Paulo he made Cafu a beast personally teaching him how to pass, and adapting him to be a fullback.
Telê's São Paulo won the Club World Cup back to back in 1992 (against Barça) and 1993 (Against Milan) with Cafu being in the starting XI on both squads, I strongly recomend watching both games as they are just magnificent pieces of football
@@KaoruSF Amazing! Thanks for the info and the suggestions ☺️
This is like having 11 captains on the pitch..... WOWZA!
But there would only be one 😁
My god!! What a team. Finally seeing Seedorf in one of these. He was world class! Imagine him and Keane together. 🤦🏻♂️
Not one midfielder would get past them together
Both have the most Elite mentality for winning
fucking hell did he play with some great players
one of the best centerhalves ever
What a beautiful team ..Elegance , Tenacity, Pace ,Power , Passing quality , Shooting quality from outside and inside the box , Ball players and Ball winners at the back and in midfield ..It's just a perfectly balanced XI
Love how he just picked the entire AC Milan defense he played in. LOL! That was some defense.
This team with Ferguson as manager would have won the Champions league 5 years on the bounce
Doesn't come much better than that!
Maldini and Keane in the same team, talk about mentality, who would be the captain though?
Even his list of players no in it are fucking immense
I'd say Maldini would captain the team, less problematic, more respected and a great mentor for the younger teammates. My guess would be that Keane would not take the armband himself and only be vice captain.
@@arkantos2227 Basically like in AC Milan (captain = Maldini, vice captain = Gattuso)
Anyone on that team- with the exception of scholes could be the captain
Roy keane. Far more inspirational player
@@jericho9653 More inspirational than Paolo Maldini?!? You're on drugs, mate.
Cud have fooled me, I'd think he's british.
Apart from the fact that he sounds Dutch and speaks with Dutch-English formulations. And he looks so Dutch.
I was born and raised outside of Manchester and he does not sound like someone born and raised there at all. His English is good for a foreigner, I have never disputed that. All those towns in the Northwest have different accents.If you are from there you can hear it.
Best One2Eleven so far imho. I like the way he stresses attacking football from a defender's point of view.
He could pick a 2nd One2Eleven who would still be world beaters.
And as for picking himself- damn right.

If United had Roy now had be worth actually dont think anyone could afford him amazing footballer truly brilliant love him
Every time this man looks at the camera I duck down
True hard as nails legend
He’s played with some unbelievable players

This was insane, epic team.
With 0 trophy that season

'before the season started, Ronaldo said he would score 30+ goals that season.... and he did'
Haha that's some top sport mentality.
Johan Smit anyone can score 30 goals in the Dutch league
lol, what an idiot you are... Did you even watch Ajax in the mid 90? Their golden generation, ruling the Europe. At the time along with Italian Serie A and the Premier league was one of the toughest leagues full of top teams and extraordinary players.
Surovi Mensur It's likely that Paul did not watch the Dutch league during the 90s.

Beast of a team from the beast. This XI is beating all comers. All.
The amount of absolute worldclass players he played together with is insane.
As a lifelong United supporter, I agree with Stam's selection. The only thing missing from those types of fantasy teams/ best ever XI is .. another XI in front (plus 2 managers, and at least 3 substitutes for each side).
AC United with dennis bergkamp on loan from Arsenal
AC Milanchester.
lol good one
Hugh Tube AC United sounds better.
It's practically Milan + Man Utd.
The Milan 2004-2006 was absolutely unbeatable: Maldini - Nesta - Stam - Cafu
Well defensively, no one is breaking that team down. Cracking team
his accent threw me completely
damn his english so goood.
The Dutch always do things with perfection. By the way I am from South Africa.
Schmichael over VDS all day! Apart from that, this is a great team if you could get them all in their prime.

a really really really good team that. very well balanced, great tacticians in midfield, good enough pace on both flanks, physically strong at the back, massive techniques at the front. wow

Wow Stam has played with amazing players, this 11 would win every game surely, it wouldn’t be fair 😀

would loved to see Pirlo in this team.
the greatest Regista ever.

Interesting how few United players he picked: Van de Sar, Keane, Scholes, Giggs
Ya but hes played with the dutch team and AC Milan. Very tough to pick players ahead of Milan before they went off the rails
