for me not only the Best defender but also the best player . and not just in terms of football , his personality , Style , Sportsmanship ... This man was the Perfect Player . if he was a striker he would have won 3 Ballon d ors . too bad those awards give no fuck about Defenders .
I can relate to that, because i'm a defender. When you're in a bad team of an amateur club, no one from higher teams will think that you're good, evn if you made a lotta progression.
Maldini is by far the best ever defender that's ever existed he had everything and could potentially play in any position. Precision,speed,grace,skill and discipline. The greatest. Regards England UK!!!!
Cannavaro won it in 2006 when he was at his best. Maldini was a lot older and wasn't at his peak like Cannavaro was. He wasn't even chosen in the international squad. Nevertheless he was still above any other defender and deserved ballon dors earlier
Serie A was the best thing to watch growing up. Maldini, Zanetti, Ronaldo, Seedorf, Davids, Totti, Del Piero, Nedved, Camoranesi, Cafu, Vieri, Baggio, Zidane, Shevchenko etc Those were the days.. Such a shame this guy didn't win the Ballon dor
+Wesley Malutama 4 2 2 2- buffon in goal roberto carlos, maldini puyol cafu is my defense, xavi and iniesta as my 2 midfielders, messi and Ronaldinho as my 2 wingers and 2 strikersnwould be ronaldo and henry
Quanto vorrei rivederlo giocare 😥, mi mancano i vecchi tempi del milan, e sono certo che nessuno sarà mai come questo campione, MALDINI GRAZIE PER LA GIOIA CHE CI HAI DATO.
Anche quando sembrava impossibile lui ci arrivava, si fiondava in tackle da brivido e ne usciva palla al piede, sempre pulito, mai cattivo, mai un fallaccio, poi la tecnica, i piedi buoni, ottimi per un difensore. Ricordo ancora la rabbia per i fischi di san siro nel giorno del suo addio, ma i cretini stanno ovunque si sa, bello, anzi bellissimo il gesto dei tifosi interisti che addirittura gli hanno dedicato uno striscione qualche giorno dopo. Orgoglioso di essere interista e di aver visto giocare una leggenda come maldini.
Got 2 times only in 25 yr long career at Topmost level of football. He was the CAPITANO of the one greatest team of all time for soo long . Eternal maldini GOAT 🐐🐐
Madini- One of the best defenders to ever play the Game. He did not look like a defender, looked like the best player and he was. Even the Great Ronaldo R9, said Maldini was the best defender he faced. He was so composed in tackles, clearances, very rarely out of position.New generation defenders are not even half the quality of Maldini. Maldini, Roberto Carlos, Cafu and Puyol are my favorite defenders.
This is just my opinion, I have been watching football from the late 80's and I have not seen a better defender than Maldini. He had all the qualities a defender should play. Nesta, Baressi were also good. Regarding left and right combination there was no better than Roberto Carlos and Cafu.
Andrei Parfeni zlatan played agains maldini in a ajax- milan in champions in 2004, ibra started play internationally in like 2004 , maldini retired in 2009 so they must have meet in champions and in serie A
Italian defenders are great. Maldini,Canavaro, Nesta, Baresi The best defenders in the history of football That's the reason people call Italy the birth place of legendary Defence.
Just to put his legacy into perspective, Maldini early in his career was chasing down and tackling Maradona, and in his final years chasing down and tackling Messi. I don't think I've ever seen a player get so much respect from players and fans everywhere.
Es increible la cantidad de leyendas y grandes jugadores que enfrento: maradona, ronaldo, zidane, ibrahimovic, henry, lavezzi, zambrotta, mathaus, batistuta, luis figo, adriano. Paolo se enfrento a todos estos cracks y se puede ver como los paro a todos
Superb.I played defense like he did. I won 3 Major Division titles in a row...2 in Chicago in 1971 and 1972,and 1 in Wisconsin in 1973.Definitely,the best defense will make your offense have more chances for a victory 😊
Maulana Rahadi Manopol ...hmmmmm. sorry, mo offense but that's a stupid thing to want. He is Paolo fucking Maldini..and you want this Milan players to play like him?
I watch this amazing video for inspiration before i go to play football every Sunday. Thanks for uploading it. Every single football academy in the world should show this video to its defenders. Long live Maldini!
Nelson Binda remember ... if you late on a striker coming forward never go for the ball he would certainly pass you as his mind his locked going forward and you being late he only has to touch the ball and you are passed forgotten ... so company him it will frustrate him then he will slow dow to prepare to shoot or pass... then you will make your move .. if you have the right timing... ciao
Il Capitano; respect! Miss this guy a lot; thanks for the tribute video. To me, players like Maldini made catenaccio work in practice! Maldini: the Dennis Bergkamp of Defense. One of the absolute greats! Grtz from Netherlands.
Maldini es mi ídolo a seguir😍 es mi inspiración, y espero ser algún día como el y aun más mejor que el💪 el mejor defensa que han visto mis ojos, llegare a ser cómo el y dejar el alma en la cancha❤⚽
Look who features alongside Maldini in this video lol Maradona, Messi, Rivaldo, Ronaldo, Adriano, Vieri, Henry, Cristiano, Bergkamp, Del Piero. So many more legends who have all been considered at some point or another the best players of their generation. Maldini stopped them all. Wish he was in that 2006 squad!
Maradona ronaldo phenomeno zidane messi c.ronaldo ronaldinho He face them all Even if pele was playing in his era i doubt he would score that much What a player What a leader What a defender The greatest of all
Pelè never played in Europe, he stayed in Brazil where defense didn't even know what was. In Europe he would have been destroyed by defenders that in his era were allowed to break ankles.
The best defender I've ever seen. Could read the ball like no other. Legend.
for me not only the Best defender but also the best player .
and not just in terms of football , his personality , Style , Sportsmanship ... This man was the Perfect Player . if he was a striker he would have won 3 Ballon d ors . too bad those awards give no fuck about Defenders .
so true....mn...no one cares for defenders
I can relate to that, because i'm a defender. When you're in a bad team of an amateur club, no one from higher teams will think that you're good, evn if you made a lotta progression.
Even*
Ballon d or is bullshit anyway
he could also win the world cup but Byron Moreno butchered Italy against Korea
ikr wtf same over here defenders are so fucking underrated and i cant get this out of my head
If I needed to tackle, I already failed
- Maldini
but he made so many in this video lol
The guy made clean tackles vs Maradona,El Phenomeno,etc... legendary legendary defender
even vs zlatan
Ramon Francois you’re comparing zlatan to maradona and Ronaldo? Seriously?
he beats bergkamp, messi, CR, zidane, etc almost all legends,,
"Maldini didn't need to trash talk to me to make me nervous. I never faced others defenders like him" Zlatan
Something noticeable in this video is the fact that players were real men and didn’t dive on Maldini’s clean tackles
Leader✅
Pace✅
Strength✅
Good 1v1✅
Good defending the box✅
Technical✅
Clever✅
Legend✅
Best defender of all time✅
Maldini is by far the best ever defender that's ever existed he had everything and could potentially play in any position. Precision,speed,grace,skill and discipline. The greatest. Regards England UK!!!!
Stacey McGrath indeed
. Kişi komik. 8
M..9.8o,im
best defender....better than canavaro
MALDINI deserved a ballon dor
Cannavaro won it in 2006 when he was at his best. Maldini was a lot older and wasn't at his peak like Cannavaro was. He wasn't even chosen in the international squad. Nevertheless he was still above any other defender and deserved ballon dors earlier
+Ibragim Muradov tats wat i am sying he was deserving a ballon dor ...or smting big
+Ibrahim Muradov he wasn't chosen? I thought he chose to retires from international after the 2002 WC?
maldini did not play on 2006 and canavoro at his peak will nevet match maldini at his worst
"Maldini ti senti un raccomandato?"si e ritirato per queste parole di un giornalista, no per Cannavaro
The best defender ever ! For me he is in the top 5 best players ever.
He is ❤️
my favourite player ever
+Ray mo Are you Christian?
For sure
ur right imo. he was a great leader too
Paolo Maldini is Legendary.
those tackles are smoother than a melting butter. #GreatestDefenderOfAllTime!
Serie A was the best thing to watch growing up. Maldini, Zanetti, Ronaldo, Seedorf, Davids, Totti, Del Piero, Nedved, Camoranesi, Cafu, Vieri, Baggio, Zidane, Shevchenko etc
Those were the days..
Such a shame this guy didn't win the Ballon dor
including antonio di Natale..
I started watching football when most of these players had 1-2 years left. A horrible time to start watch football
Harvy355 Ronaldo & Zidane won the ballon d'or
@@kashifchowdhury9939 yes... I know. I said 'this guy' referring to Maldini lol not these guys.
Kaka totti ❤️
Ho i brividi alle gambe e le lacrime a gli occhi
My football idol, suposed to be right footed, but played as left back, strong, fast and elegant, he was all I tried to be.
you don't see such clean tackles anymore
ramos ,varane ,silva ,
lahm, beckenbauer
+Ibrahim X Sergio Ramos!! fucking really mate?!
+christian chrissi I agree with you on both the names mate! but maldini was special.
Only a chump would say such bullshit so flagrantly
Sergio Ramos red cards: 26...
Paolo Maldini red cards: 2 in 25 years
He is my idol and the best defender ever
Played LB into his 30s
He played all across the back four.
What a legend
What a Captain
Forza Milan!
His slide tackles were done with such brutal velocity but executed it perfectly clean in a pure gentle swift.
there's still people who compare Ramos to Maldini.......
ya and Ramos Not Even Half of Maldini
ACan Azoo
Half of Maldini ain't that bad.
People? You mean kids
kaan korkmaz Kids are People
Disrespectful
even Zidane said he would switch to the left if he's up against Maldini on the right
Of course he would, he wouldn't stand a chance
And Ronaldo “El Fenomeno” said it in an interview as well
maldini didn’t have that choice
Tempi di gioco, anticipo , fisico ,corsa,dribbling, carisma ,colpo di testa e soprattutto spuntava sangue per la maglia , campione.
Da juventino posso solo inchinarmi al più grande difensore della storia del nostro calcio e di tutto il globo 🙏🏻⚽️❤️
1:14 the best slide tackle i have ever seen.
the best that ever was
The best CB in the history of the beautiful game.
What would be your ultimate starting 11(Current and old players)?
technically he is a fullback, can play CB
+Wesley Malutama 4 2 2 2- buffon in goal roberto carlos, maldini puyol cafu is my defense, xavi and iniesta as my 2 midfielders, messi and Ronaldinho as my 2 wingers and 2 strikersnwould be ronaldo and henry
My all time 11
Gianluigi Buffon
Thuram Nesta Stam Maldini
Gattuso Rui Costa
Zidane Xavi Ronaldinho
Henry
Ademar Mendoza
Muhd Aizuddiin
I can see that both of you have been watching football for a long time.
Quanto vorrei rivederlo giocare 😥, mi mancano i vecchi tempi del milan, e sono certo che nessuno sarà mai come questo campione, MALDINI GRAZIE PER LA GIOIA CHE CI HAI DATO.
paolo every time i watch this video i cry PAOLO MALDINI NEVER BE FORGOTTEN 😢😢😢
Anche quando sembrava impossibile lui ci arrivava, si fiondava in tackle da brivido e ne usciva palla al piede, sempre pulito, mai cattivo, mai un fallaccio, poi la tecnica, i piedi buoni, ottimi per un difensore.

how he can control the ball after every slide tackle is absolute insane name me a defender currently who does this regular basis
fun fact maldini never got a red card in his career
Got 2 times only in 25 yr long career at Topmost level of football.
He was the CAPITANO of the one greatest team of all time for soo long .
Eternal maldini GOAT 🐐🐐
The best of all time

What about Nesta?
This is just my opinion, I have been watching football from the late 80's and I have not seen a better defender than Maldini. He had all the qualities a defender should play. Nesta, Baressi were also good. Regarding left and right combination there was no better than Roberto Carlos and Cafu.
Football Fan same
that could work as a back 4 throw nesta in for a 5
Roberto Carlos, importante en todo equipo, por sus remates, pero descuidaba la marca y la proyección de los punteros
zlatan already said maldini is the best defender he ever went up against. now who would ever question zlatan? :D
James Trasmonte
Zlatan didn't go up against all the defenders who ever played the game, right?
wait.... maldini was in Zlatan era?
not just zlatan gave the honor to maldini been the best. other have mentioned him being the best
Andrei Parfeni zlatan played agains maldini in a ajax- milan in champions in 2004, ibra started play internationally in like 2004 , maldini retired in 2009 so they must have meet in champions and in serie A
Andrei Parfeni
in this video in 5:43 zlatan vs maldini
I'm crying...
Same bro
Fuck you
@@madremia609 stfu
Maldini is Player for another Planet not the earth Big Respected Sir
El mejor de la historia, eterno capitano, un señor dentro y fuera del terreno de juego. Gracias por ser mi ídolo
His tackel,move and trick..he wins everything in a point of the defending..My Legend
I miss watching him play :( Milan needs you legend
yesterday now and forever our captain!
The greatest Italian player of all times !
Best player in the history
God Of Football ❤
😥
Most iconic left back ever.
Miss those days of milan
Foraza milan ✝❤
The best player ever!
The God! Paulo maldini!
Best defender of Italy he deserved to be an legend. He would destroy everyone if till now he was playing
Italian defenders are great. Maldini,Canavaro, Nesta, Baresi
The best defenders in the history of football That's the reason people call Italy the birth place of legendary Defence.
Really ? Well done, Sherlock
0:55 Best defender of all time vs best striker of all time
Just to put his legacy into perspective, Maldini early in his career was chasing down and tackling Maradona, and in his final years chasing down and tackling Messi. I don't think I've ever seen a player get so much respect from players and fans everywhere.
5 legends ruined by maldini:
1- Maradona
2- Ronaldo R9
3- Totti
4- Baggio
5- Zidane
Maradonna was baresis victim
Paolo is an emotion.. The Leaving Legend.. El Capitano❤🇮🇹
best defender for the last two decads.. i could just think of baresi and beckenbauer to be at this level. absolute legend!
The greatest of all time ❤
All time favorite player. Pure class!
And weirdly for a defender, he also owns the record for the fastest goal in a Champions league final... That I removed from my brain how it ended up.
مالديني انت الافضل دائما وابدا .. لن ننساك يا اسطورة .. شكرا لك على كل اللحظات الجميلة التي استمتعنا فيها بكرة القدم 😍
Es increible la cantidad de leyendas y grandes jugadores que enfrento: maradona, ronaldo, zidane, ibrahimovic, henry, lavezzi, zambrotta, mathaus, batistuta, luis figo, adriano. Paolo se enfrento a todos estos cracks y se puede ver como los paro a todos

Not just top defender but a top player
I watch this amazing video for inspiration before i go to play football every Sunday.

Os tres melhores jogadores de todos os tempos ... "Pelé, Maradona e Maldini" !!! #Maldini3©
3:08 against maradona
Yes
Anticipation, patience, desire and timing = Defense
He is amazing. Massive respect to this legend.
You know you're in a league of your own when worldclass players fear to faces you on the field.

Excelente, le considero el mejor defensa de la historia del fútbol... Bravo!!
0:55 The only one who could stop Ronaldo 9
ツ I’m aware it’s 2 years ago u said this but cannavaro was capable of stopping him and puyol
Edward Hobbs
Maldini stopped ronaldo prime
Abdulaziz. I know however puyol and cannavaro did as well
@@heAbdulaziz Ronaldo never reached his maximum, his injuries prevented that
He played like a midfielder. Great legend
Maldini: the best defensor of all times
La cosa peggiore é che non l ho mai potuto veder giocare.Maldini la leggenda
forever our capitano AC M1LAN, always will remember.
Capitano per sempre❤️
This video with this music brought tears in my eyes☺️ I miss him so much❤️
If you ever feel useless, just think about the AC Milan goalkeeper.
More UCL titles than Manchester United and Juventus. Enough said. #bestdefenderever
And the same of barca & bayern haha
Eu nunca vi um zagueiro ter um "combate de bola" tão preciso...não é a toa que é considerado o melhor defensor de todos os tempos
uno dei piu grandi giocatori nella storia dell,calcio italiano.....grande paolino dall,europeo 1988@
Legend
Paolo Maldini the best defender ever in football history, when you hear Maldini it’s quality of defending and goalkeepers can be relaxed
Best defender everrrrrrrrrrr.
1:15 that was so perfect
Non torneranno mai più questi difensori 😔
The Ultimate Player...
*defender
Ramon Francois player*
Maldini es mi ídolo a seguir😍
es mi inspiración, y espero ser algún día como el y aun más mejor que el💪
el mejor defensa que han visto mis ojos, llegare a ser cómo el y dejar el alma en la cancha❤⚽
de que edad eres?
oh god! i still remember that era
Incredible. Just this. Huge.
Impressionante a raça, a força física, o vigor e a inteligência aliada ao tempo de bola. Jogava em qualquer posição, era bom em tudo. Mito. Sem mais.
Look who features alongside Maldini in this video lol Maradona, Messi, Rivaldo, Ronaldo, Adriano, Vieri, Henry, Cristiano, Bergkamp, Del Piero. So many more legends who have all been considered at some point or another the best players of their generation.
Maldini stopped them all. Wish he was in that 2006 squad!
Legend of the legends
Maradona ronaldo phenomeno zidane messi c.ronaldo ronaldinho
He face them all
Even if pele was playing in his era i doubt he would score that much
What a player
What a leader
What a defender
The greatest of all
Pelè never played in Europe, he stayed in Brazil where defense didn't even know what was. In Europe he would have been destroyed by defenders that in his era were allowed to break ankles.
He makes all the defenders that play now look crap
il più forte difensore mai esistito ... e mai ce ne saranno cosi... grande capitano !!
o melhor zagueiro que eu vi jogar! assim como o Baresi, dificilmente haverá defensores como eles!
Guy was insanely good unbelievale
una legenda vivente...grande paolino..con grande stima e molto simpatia ...tano albania@
paolo maldini simplemente él mejor 😍😍😍😍 defensa mi idolo
da juventino , uno dei piu grandi difensori di tutti i tempi!
e indifferente che tu sia juventino o meno siamo tutti tifosi, e lui è una leggenda .
+Gesù quello di nazareth Mi mancano gli scontri tra Maldini e il nostro Ronaldo, derby irripetibili.
il piu grande di tutti i tempi!
One player in the best of the histori, respect legend....
What a beast.
maldini unicoooo
