Paolo Maldini had one of the most dominant careers from a defender and he was able to do that without relying on one of the key components of defending tackling.
IKR, some people don't use actual "meaning" as they cannot relate to it. If you can tell them that when you jump, you're performing a triple backflip, because they don't assign the meaning of what a triple backflip is, they don't differentiate what it is vs a jump. In their mind both a jump and a triple backflip will be the same thing. Why, because psychology is great.
The title is somewhat misleading. For most of his career, when he played left back, one of the things Maldini was known for was his perfectly timed sliding tackle. So, no, he did not refuse to tackle, quite the opposite: tackling was one of his main strengths. The "legend" about Maldini not making tackles stems from an interview from Sir Alex Ferguson, who said that Maldini could go an entire game without having to make a single tackle, meaning he had by then (it was 2007) achieved such an amazing tactical awareness that he commanded the defense simply by positioning himself in the right place.
i dont think you understand what tackle means. he was among the best slide tackling defenders. he was reallllly good. i stopped watching your video after the 3rd minute, you already had so many clips of good tackles from the legend Paolo
He was using sliding tackles but way less than other defenders. Also if you look at his game you will observe that his sliding tackles don’t miss the ball.
What is often forgot is the year they only conceded 15 goals, Milan barely scored a goal per game - and then won the Champions League having conceded only twice in 12 games. A likely unbeatable effort.
Need a better title. There is a picture of him and Cannarvaro both sliding tackle and pincering R9 at the same time. R9 still had the ball though. Not sure if he left with his knees in tack though.
he also played against Messi and Ronaldo, should have been mentioned. But, he was a tackling god - according to his standards, he made a lot of mistakes. Still, People today did not see Baresi
Maldini was not the greatest CB , he was the greatest defender , he played 400+ matches as a LB & 350+ matches as a CB
Very true
'Refused to tackle" but all his clips were of him tackling lol

He was my icon as long as I can recall. Posters on the wall….. most of my shirts collection is nr 3. Maldini the football god to beat
15 secs in tackle tackle tackle tackle tackle
He was performing one sliding tackle every 2 games. His season average is 19 tackles.

Trying to avoid tackles isnt the same as refusing to tackle
If I have to make a tackle, I've already made a mistake"
il Capitano, Paolo Maldini
I don't think the uploader knows what a tackle in football is.
I just had such conversation with a couple of professional players. I forgot about Maldini and mentioned Nesta and Carlos Alberto.
Goat defender refused to tackle. Still the best tackler ever 💯
The title of this video is sweet: How a centerback, who REFUSED to tackle.... - and the first minute is FULL of tackles
😂😂😂

Maldini? Paolo Maldini? His tackles were famous for being fast and clinical.
The sound is too low man .fix it. Your content is good
Lahm video?
My idol!
Good video but please the pronunciations. Sacchi is pronounced Sakki and Maldini's dads name is Cesare (Che-sa-reh)
Donadoni
What are you talking about? This guy tackled everything and everyone, even his own mother. I don’t think you understand what your talking about dude.
But plastics will still put Roberto Carlos in their all-11 teams
