Makelele was a beast. It was too bad Real Madrid let him go he deserved more respect. This 2006 French team with Zidane Henry and Makelele was fire too
@Twoyutes74 That year after his horrible season with Madrid, Zidan must have been waiting for the worldcup to start so he could linkup with Makelele n Vieira. They did all the hardwork for Zidan The only mistake the team made was leaving out Ludovic Giuly, he would have been perfect at the top alongside Henry
I don't know how old are you, but before Makelelé has been some other great CDM (here in Spain we called them "pivotes", pivots) like Redondo, Mauro Silva, Dunga, Mattäus, etc. Some of them even better than Makelelé, in my opinion.
@pedrohernandomenchaca5355 The original role was founded before the 1990’s It was founded in the 1930’s The first defensive midfielder a man named Luisito Monti deployed by Vittorio Pozzo Who was revolutionary for football formation at that time Knowing for his metodo system But Makelele excelled in that role and got the role named after him cause he wasn’t just a defensive midfielder He started as winger in Nantes (I could be wrong of the club name) He was fast , agile and capable of dribbling He was capable of play making too When he was Real Madrid often burst to the opponent box and playmake When he went to Chelsea that’s when Jose mou made him classic dm again But he revolutionized how dm in modern football from his days with Madrid and little bit prior to that
Only in England was it refered to as the Makelele role In Spain and Italy they played with these holding midfielders long before Makelele came to Chelsea. In England they were use to playing a standard 4-4-2 formation with two Centre midfielders who usually took turns in going forward and sitting.
Florentino Perez's biggest mistake was selling this man during the galacticos era. In word of zidane when he bought Beckham and sold makelele: "he bought a convertible but sold the engine"
I'd say this man was the main reason Chelsea won those back to back titles, much like when Kanté won with Chelsea the year after he won the league with Leicester. That position is so god damn important for a team.
En términos defensivos, seguramente, junto con Mauro Silva. Pero en otros sentidos (distribución de juego, conducción de balón, pase largo, etc.) los ha habido muchísimo mejores: Busquets, Redondo, Matthäus, Vieira, Luis Suárez (el del Inter)... Makelele era un especialista en la recuperación del balón, de los mejores que ha habido, una auténtica bestia parda, pero creo que considerarlo el mejor 5 de la Historia resulta un poco excesivo.
Zidane's words about Beckham arrival and Makelele departure: “Why do you need to add a gold layer on a Bentley, when you have already lost the engine?”.. so true! Without Makelele and Casemiro Real Madrid would have never won all those champions leagues!
On a interview he said to roni : « i don’t care of your playstation moves if do this i make you go to hospital »the only player able to defend against roni
I’m pretty sure (without looking it up) under the same Real Madrid Presidency of Florentino Pérez, he allowed Makélélé to leave as he considered him surplus, and same year refused to sign Ronaldinho as he was “too ugly to sell shirts”!!🤦🏽♂️
The Galactico failed both in laliga and in ucl. But Madrid learnt their lesson. Look at how loaded their midfield has always been. Their midfield selection don't play around anymore😂

Vieria was alongside Maka to give Zidane full offensive freedom. Don't forget that part.
@@Twoyutes74 lol, vieira and makelele together. it can not get better than this

Makelele's father told him..... ((you'll Never be respected from someone Who dont respect you once))
So Makelele décided to go
Bousquets could never.
He was so good, they named the CDM role after him🌎

@pedrohernandomenchaca5355
The original role was founded before the 1990’s
It was founded in the 1930’s
The first defensive midfielder a man named Luisito Monti deployed by Vittorio Pozzo
Who was revolutionary for football formation at that time
Knowing for his metodo system
But Makelele excelled in that role
and got the role named after him cause he wasn’t just a defensive midfielder
He started as winger in Nantes
(I could be wrong of the club name)
He was fast , agile and capable of dribbling
He was capable of play making too
When he was Real Madrid often burst to the opponent box and playmake
When he went to Chelsea that’s when Jose mou made him classic dm again
But he revolutionized how dm in modern football from his days with Madrid and little bit prior to that
Why doesn't the world konw them ? @@pedrohernandomenchaca5355
Redondo was amazing
His playing video should be taught to prospective defensive players. Guy was a beast.
He was so good, we as kids in 2000's admired him a lot!
Forreal, his name is funny but somehow in my memories we rarely made fun of his name, we respected him too much for his talent
the archetype of modern DMs, one of my favourite players of all time
The guy is a legend
He defined what a holding midfielder is! Today when we speak of defensive midfielder we say ‘a Claude Makalele’ type of player!
Impeccable timing and reflexes!
Absolutely incredible guy to talk about ever
Best defense midfielder in 2000s
His tackles are crazy
Arguably the best to have played that position
demain chef
Falcao(Brasil 1982)and Redondo were much better than Makelele .
@@gostodemaisdaroca4052 Is that the reason why their position was named the "Makelele role"?
Only in England was it refered to as the Makelele role

In England they were use to playing a standard 4-4-2 formation with two Centre midfielders who usually took turns in going forward and sitting.
not even better than kante in that role tbh. as far as dmf's go , there a a few better than him in history, for various other qualities.
Claude makalele ‘AKA’ the original Kante
Florentino Perez's biggest mistake was selling this man during the galacticos era. In word of zidane when he bought Beckham and sold makelele: "he bought a convertible but sold the engine"
An Engine that every teams need
The born of Makelele role
What a player …. Wow….
During 2004-2007 Chelsea had been like playing with 13 men on a pitch when there're J.Mourinho & C.Makelele. together.
But they suffered in the champions league
Liverpool twice knocked them out n Barca once
The greatest defensive midfielder of all time
Bro stop 😂😂😂😂
LEGIT BRO CDM WAS NAMED FROM HIM
Matthaus
Fernando Redondo
Damn that offensive player at 1:06 had the turbos on
Makelele role modern dm's, but he himself praise kante and saying kante deserves on his performance, "kante role"
Both are legendary.
The GOAT
I'd say this man was the main reason Chelsea won those back to back titles, much like when Kanté won with Chelsea the year after he won the league with Leicester. That position is so god damn important for a team.
Yes after xabi Alonso and Kante and Makelele left their original teams looked at how all 3 teams slipped up in league table the following season
Un véritable combattant physiquement et mentalement ; un excellent lecture dans de jeux 👌✨👍
Very true. Excellent at. Reading the game f
Idolo ❤
The greatest DM to ever play the game ❤❤
Wonderful blocker in defending midfield

el mejor volante 5 clasico de la historia. Infravaloradisimo .
En términos defensivos, seguramente, junto con Mauro Silva. Pero en otros sentidos (distribución de juego, conducción de balón, pase largo, etc.) los ha habido muchísimo mejores: Busquets, Redondo, Matthäus, Vieira, Luis Suárez (el del Inter)...
Makelele era un especialista en la recuperación del balón, de los mejores que ha habido, una auténtica bestia parda, pero creo que considerarlo el mejor 5 de la Historia resulta un poco excesivo.
Camavinga must have watched this guy a lot
The best Cdm ever
Siempre entregaba el balón al mejor posicionado. Dejarlo marchar fue el único grave error de Florentino.
"makalele rules" 😎
First time seeing this clip didn't know he was this unbelievable truly underrated
He is not cz the cdm position is named the makelele role by most football lovers he was that good
This guy in a pair with Ngolo kante would be too scary for the eyes to behold
He used to pair with Essien, another great cdm
The best central defensive midfielder of all times
THAT CHANGE OF PACE IS SIIIIIICK OOOOOOHH LA LA
Zidane's words about Beckham arrival and Makelele departure: “Why do you need to add a gold layer on a Bentley, when you have already lost the engine?”.. so true! Without Makelele and Casemiro Real Madrid would have never won all those champions leagues!
04:26 superb marking
Packed him in the Icon SBC, its a good pull!
Makelele was on another level,can't be compared to Caicedo n Kante.
Not just good! He carried the best team ever on his shoulders!
Well kante is less aggressive but does his ball winning as effective! Kante's forward drives are so underrated too but not shades makalele' was Gold
I really see huge similarity with Caicedo, any Chelsea fan see the resemblance?
Damn, never seen a clip of him before now and surely didn't know he was this good..He was surely better than Kante.
some of his tackles dont even seem to make sense. Some of those seems so dangerous but when he did those it seems effortless.
Might be reaching but a well coached Moises Caicedo could come close to this. I see him more of a Makélélé type player than a Kante type.
Not with Chelsea. Should’ve went to Liverpool. Klopp would’ve done wonders with him.
@@hectorlopez113 yeah aiight
@@hectorlopez113Like Klopp done to Thiago
Kante is the modern age Makelele
Kante is a Makelele type player
Respect 🙏
Makelele, kante y Caicedo future
Obi Mikel!
Good vid. FYI in English the 'was' should come after is name. 'You won't believe how good Claude Makelele was'.
Him viera yaya toure are powerhouse
On a interview he said to roni : « i don’t care of your playstation moves if do this i make you go to hospital »the only player able to defend against roni
Vamos 💪
The only player to have a position named after him.
Kobbie Mainoo need to watch Makelele more it will make him become the best player in his position
Sad the Makélélé wasn’t in France 98 and euro 2000, France 98 zizou had incomplete team and he ended up carrying them with thuram
Joueur énorme
One of the best in 6 position.
the best
Song? 0:00??
Edgar Hopp - Ragnarok
He was Kante before Kante was Kante
We finally have a sucessor to Makélélé and his name is Florentino Luís ❤
Respect your opinion but 😂
Nah it's gotta be n'golo kanté
lol
Imagined kante and makelele play together
“Turbo Engine” Makelele.
The Mak - word
Super wow
If he can hit the opponent's foot he didn't say no !
His spirit moved into Moises Caicedo's body
Yep, just a pity his body can't do what Claude's body done 😂
@@rumiquedavids7275 Not yet, but if he stays hungry he can get close or exceed him.
I didn't watch this man playing but I think kante will be enough for me he was a timeless icon
This guy changed football, no 1 played this position and formation in umengland until jose
Anajua mpira
His replacement at madrid was played some of this video to understand his role 😂
I’m pretty sure (without looking it up) under the same Real Madrid Presidency of Florentino Pérez, he allowed Makélélé to leave as he considered him surplus, and same year refused to sign Ronaldinho as he was “too ugly to sell shirts”!!🤦🏽♂️
Yoda to write your thumbnails you have. 😂
Good old days when footballers knew what to do on and off the ball, unlike the clueless breeds now who go about letting their managers down
El Sancho Panza de Zidane.
I wonder why people keep mentioning this guy and ceicedo in the same sentence that's an insult to makelele
Moisés Caicedo 🔵🇪🇨 {4}
Most of his tackles were ill timed. Would see red in modern day football everyday.
No ways ! Régular tackles yesterday like today. A bit rude sometimes but he always plays the ball.
Casemiro doesn't agree with your words .
Bro buy a pair of specs, noob.
Makele/Vieira best combination in France
The real expert knows that Makélélé transfer to Chelsea was a big mistake from Real Madrid
Rare L from Madrid
The Galactico failed both in laliga and in ucl.
But Madrid learnt their lesson.
Look at how loaded their midfield has always been. Their midfield selection don't play around anymore😂
Good role model for Diarra and Kante
Better than overrated system player Rodri
😂
I can believe; because I saw him 🤨🤨

Of course i believe it, i saw it.
It’s always the short ones.
Kante
Caicedo
Kante and Caicedo are Central Mids. Makelele was a Defensive Mid.
오 쒯 마케렐레
You can't make those tackles now , it's straight red
he plays like kante
Kante was less technical than both
no need for fancy, he just wins the ball back and passes it to the nearest player.
Real Madrid made one of the biggest mistake of their history after sold him for Chelsea...
Camavinga has so much potential to be like him
Makelele was a beast but honestly Kanté is better n clear. Kanye is just everywhere and u can’t take the ball away from him easily, he has pace and better ball control more offensive and defensive …
Kanye is a rapper bro
He’s not football player
And then came Kante to fill his shoes
Makelele’s defences in this era would have attracted a lot of fake card bookings because football is now too soft and filled with a lot of actors 😅
Let's see you take a tackle to your ankle then we see if you will stand and continue to play.
Most futballers do not have any other skill, if makeleles tackle connects with the foot it's a year out n a younger futballer takes over.
Some of his tackles would be red today
nope
Next vídeo Roberto Carlos
You want to see his mistakes against France
He is overrated

Wtf he has been transferred to the Greek league!
When ?!?
