Zola and Hazard are the two most magical players in Chelsea’s history
Also Hasselbaink and Drogba
Osgood & Foulke have something to say about that!
Lampard too
Salah and De Bruyne 😂
@Putin’s Shoulder Angel better than Cantona and Hazard over Giggs. Keane Scholes Beckham are midfielders 👍
Even in his last match, He send Carragher to hospital with his dribbling ✨. Magical player 💙🇮🇹
@(1B) Richie Doltani lol ur comment has less likes than this one now
signed at 30, left at 37. One day later Abramovich offered him £3m to return, then offered Cagliari £1.3m to rip up the contract, then phoned Massimo Cellino (then president) to offer £1m personally to call off the deal. That is how much he meant. Pure class
@Ishaan Dhamankar I remember it. Idiolised him

Wow I didn't know that. I can't see that happen with any 30 year old coming to today's Premier League. How things changed.
Source: trust me bro
@@eddydonlon well I did give a link to Sky Sports. The news rumours at the time were that Abramovich tried to buy the whole Cagliari team but I don't know how much that was rumour. But Cellino himself said the truth a few days later. I was born in the 80's, followed Chelsea my whole life, and Zola was my favourite player. It isn't something you forget 🙂
@@scottlawson1800 fair enough
Football interviews are always bland and predictable.. and then you get someone like Zola. What a guy. Charming, thoughtful and personality in his expressions. Chelsea legend forever
My first ever Chelsea shirt I got as a kid had Zola 25 on the back.
Zola is an underrated baller
@@shirwahassan1346 yea he is
Players like him don’t come around often, a box of tricks, he could do it all. What a player 👌
Met him once out in London, a true gentleman!
The reason I started supporting Chelsea and have the "25" in my username.
The respect he shows for the reporter, apologizing for saying 'butt'
Difference between Chelsea and City getting bought out was, Chelsea were actually a decent team before the takeover, qualified for the champions league a few times and won a handful of cups in the preceding years to 2003, City on the other hand were basically relegation favourites almost every year and had been for about 30 years.
Yeh and city were also relegated a few times.
Oh wow , Chelsea had 1 PL and no FA cups ... City had 2 PLs and some FA cups ... 1970s were great for city. ..if they were funded then, would that make city a great time ?
@@grealish2234 bro what are you talking about, before being bought Chelsea won the FA cup 3 times (twice in the 90's before being bought), the UEFA cup winners cup twice (once in the late 90's) the League, two league cups (one in the 90's before being bought) and the UEFA super cup, also in the late 90's before being bought.
Don't compare the success of city before their buyout to the success and station of Chelsea.
@@grealish2234 Dont know what your talking about atleast we wernt like a relegation team
@@blikkz_5121 Chelsea relegated In 1987 and thrice in 1970s .... You were good in 1990s ... Your last title before 2004 was in 1950s (earlier than city's) .. just because you were on a temporary good form in 1990s (like city were in 1970s) doesn't mean you were a champion team ...not taking a diss at Chelsea history but just stating the facts
Footballing legend, and perhaps more importantly, a very nice and humble person.
Zola one of the best Italians to play for Chelsea, I wish Chelsea got him when he was in his 20s but overall a Chelsea great🇮🇹💙💙
Zolas a real icon of the Premier league always great player to watch
Helped in getting Abramovich to buy the Club, legend!
Should have guessed really before I commented guess the oligarchs have not reached New Delhi yet
Abramovich the genocidal zionist, hooray
Founded Chelsea basically
@@ColmK83 LMFAO
@@RememberPele cope
We just don’t get players like this anymore 😓 What a down to earth guy.
Ngolo
@@KTBFFH I wouldn’t exactly call ngolo down to earth. He’s not one to give an interview like this, he’s pretty shy.
Was a shame he never got a league title at chelsea
We were pretty close in 1998
@@Yamcha291 ik, but still he should have one
@@benmcnutt223 yeah I agree
Absolutely criminal.
A class of his own. Saw him in a testimonial a couple years back and still controlled the game. A real old school legend!
most underrated premier league player of all time, what a baller 💖
He was like the hazard of the 90s-2000s
I dont think he was ever underrated and I dont think anyone said that about him great player and a great manager at the time the most underrated player in premiership history was in the same team though Gudjhonsen not sure how you spell it but he was amazing
@@richardkent9275 yes Eiður Guðjohnsen, Brilliant forward.
@@HasibRaiyan one of my favourite players ever I think he was better then hazard in a league back then which was much more physical to not better maybe but as good
@@richardkent9275 yeah, a versatile player. He was a Striker mainly, with skills. Used to score some great goals.
The stand icon when chelsea started to become big six team, no more midtable team
No actually we were a top 6 team when Gullit came and started to manage us.
Trust. Most football fans are too ignorant and deluded to understand that Chelsea were getting big before Abramovich turned us into what we are today
If your a real football fan you would know we were getting bigger before Roman came. We were in champions league and we were called a top 6 club
@@HasibRaiyan in the 95/96 season, the season in which ruud joined yall finished in 10th, in the following season when you had gio, you guys finished in the top 6 and would consistently do so right up until the roman days, so no gio coming in was the massive change
@@FkProductions14 with chelsea i realise this, with city on the other hand it’s a complete different kettle of fish, city were a relegation side, where as you guy were regulars in the top 6
One of the all time greats.
wish I had the chance to watch him live 😔
If people think Chelsea - Liverpool only became a derby in 2003, they're either too young to remember or were just not paying attention.
Gianfranco said it himself, he was there when Chelsea won the FA Cup in '97. And he was also on the scoresheet when they beat Liverpool 4-2 in the 4th round.
I will remember that game (FA Cup Final 1997) for the two goals - the rest was boring!
1) Roberto DiMatteo's bullet shot within the first minute to open the scoring
2) Dan Petrescu's cross to Zola, which he picked up on he goal line and back heeled for Steady Eddie Newton to score the second.
Such a lovely gent, I am a gooner, but I have always admired the chelsea Italian contigents. Zola and Vialli where a joy to watch, unless they were scoring against us of course😀
The man is simply a legend!
Chelsea legend
Absolute Legend.
Zola is often overlooked. As an Arsenal fan I was screaming to the television every time Zola had the ball in his feet.. I knew he was gonna do something spectacular and I didn't tolerate it lol
Everyone loves Franco, such a gent ☺️
What a player, that video of him destroying 3/4 Liverpool players in a corner flag is iconic
Don't think there has ever been a nicer more likeable player ever tbh.
Players like this gem are a rarity .. Can't be too bad as Maradona understudy !! Super Zola
Magician🐐
First game I remember going to was Zola's testimonial
The game where he sent Carra for a hotdog
legend
Legend
They don’t make Italians like Zola anymore
The man
Our legend💙💙💙zolaaaaaaa😊😊😊
It's a shame he didn't stay a few more years and win a title or two. He deserved it. One of the few genuine world class players in the Premier League in the 90's. If he left on a free in say 1998, he could have taken his pick of where he wanted to go in Europe. But instead he stuck it out at Chelsea which for the ill-informed youth, wasn't anything like the Chelsea of the last 20 years. An absolute class act.
Great player ✌️💪
What a legend of chelsea
Ben Stiller's seen better days
Zola and lampard jeezee
A true Blue Legend
Everyone stay safe
Player!
Absolute legend of the game ⚽️
Still my favourite player, but he wasn't getting any younger and he clearly believed it was time to go.
Zola left chelsea at the higher top performance with aged years..
Chelseas best team of the prem era
Cech
Azpi
Carvalho
Terry
Cole
Makelele
Kante

Wise, Gullit, Vialli, Lebouf, Le Saux, Flo, De Goey, Desailly, Hasslebaink, Guðjohnsen, Cudicini, M Hughes and the list goes on.
@@HasibRaiyan Di Matteo, Ron Harris
@@rohithraman6488 and etc
Italiani c'è ne sono?
is Chelsea popular in Italy
@@keyuantejohnson9919 not so much but there are fanclubs
Zola > Abramovich
What does that supposed to mean ? 🙄😂
@@HasibRaiyan Zola was more important for Chelsea's development than Zionist Abramovich
@@RememberPele yes, I know that. Both have equal amount of contribution.
