Thank you Zola for talking about maradona
When maradona was on fire. You knew u will win the game !!!
Baresi played with maldini tho but ok
Zola voted best chelsea player? Error: zola is one of the greatest premier league players of all time
Sardinian pride. Best player ever of our Island, our Nation!
Just when you think you can't like Zola more. What a sweet guy. Adding Tore Andre Flo to the list of great attacking players was both sweet and insane: no doubt representing his friend. Desailly is indefensible. Desailly was great, Maldini was an all-time great. But even then it's hard to argue with the choices of such a great player and seemingly a great person.
The man picked Dennis Wise over himself. Dennis Wise was good. Zola was great.
One of the most exciting players ever. What a compliment when someone the skills (and ego) of an icon like Maradona tells the club he departs that no replacement is needed, because you're already in the squad. Wowza.
gianfranco sei in inghilterra da mille anni ancora hai la pronuncia da immigrato appena sbarcato ahahah! scherzo, sei un grande
A solid hair transplant
Non ci hai mai capito un cazzo di calcio , buona tecnica , tanta corsa e ora dimostra come allenatore che non vale un cazzo
Then yellow teeth 🙌🏻
nice interview with ben stiller
Respect Zola. The Italian magician
This team concedes 0 goals.
Zola is taller than marradonna being 5ft5 and zola is 5ft6
Ahha doesn't mention messi lol
only because he spoke about players who play with, could you tell me when Zola and Messi played together please?
Buffon may play at psg still but hes terrible and fkn aeriola takes his spot
Yes Careca 🇧🇷 and Maradona 🇦🇷 ... Careca was lethal in front of goal
Love this man, he’s so humble...
Van der sar in goal ..fantastic goalkeeper and amazing at the ball ....i choose Vidic/ rio as my defenders enough said ! Maradona & ronaldinho up front and will make every defender dizzy ...messi coming of the bench ...and Sir Alex is my coach
What a team! ..younger kids needs to see this lol
”You must be proud right” ”Nah I’m very froud”
No Paolo Maldini?????? 😲😲😲😲
Bein' with Chelshit has really fucked up his mind.
as an interfan: YOU FORGOT THE BEST DEFENDER EVER!!
giuseppe bergomi
Best Affordable Icone on Fifa19 😂
United fan here, he broke my heart quite a few times over the years, but you just can't fault him, what an absolute gentleman Zola is.
I agree! Really like Zola
He only left maldini out cos he had to put a Chelsea player in
seb pz its ok. i respect your opinion.
@SuckMyThumb obviously not as good as baresi and desailly in his eyes. Nor mine
seb pz if he had to put a Chelsea defender in he would have put John Terry in. The greatest defender ever of PL
Legend.
What a sound character Gianfranco is
Desailly instead of Paolo "GOD" Maldini !!!
Where's Cannavaro??? Won the World Cup for Italy and the Ballon d'Or. The only defender that ever won the Ballon d'Or.
Baresi was better.
Beckenbauer won it TWICE
Beckenbauer and Sammer never existed then...
Zola 5’6”, Wise 5’6”, Maradona 5’5” (but with his arm 6’5”)
😂👏
😂😂😂😂 trusss
One of the most skillful players to grace elite football. Ron Atkinson wouldn't agree with 4:21...
didn’t maldini and baresi concede 23 goals in 196 games? Great partnership
Phil Payton well Chelsea 2004/05 just conceded 15 goals in premier league too
@Phil Payton Yep, pretty good. Milan conceded 21 in 34, and went undefeated in 91/92. The streak extended into the next season, and they went more than 50 games before losing
@GardEngebretsen liverpool this season have conceded just 20 in 36
That's not true at all, and would be an impossible feat. In just the 91/92 season, one of the best ever defensive season in club football history, the renown AC Milan defence conceded 28 goals in 38 games.
One of the most polite individuals I’ve ever met . What a team as well 👏
Adam Smith Hey Adam I'm a big fan, do more interviews with Chelsea legends. Ashley Cole, or John terry would be lit. I would love 2 see what their 5 a side would be!
Gianfranco Zola
What a legend and such a gentleman.
We love you Gianfranco sir.
He's an incredible footballer
Should try and get in more legeneds like this! So interesting to hear about older players
Soccer Am needs to organise a 5 a side tournament with all these great 5 a side teams players have picked..get it sorted Soccer Am ⚽
Has zola not played with del piero?
Never, Zola was too old and out of the national team when DelPiero played in the national team and Zola never played in Juventus
3:40 and apparently Maldini didn’t play with Baresi...
Even as a Juve fan, HOW DO YOU LEAVE OUT THE BEST DEFENDER EVER??????
21Youngstars ZH97 he thinks Desailly would be better for a 5 a side team, completely different to 11 a side
PLEASE don’t tell me he put in JT....(no disrespect)
A lot of facts...
I know they played together, but careca over baggio….no no no no Gianfranco! que cosa a fatto!
Leaving Maldini for Baresi is forgivable but leaving Baggio is not!!!
His English is actually good
Zola25 absolute Legend, Top Team Vice Gaffer👍💙⚽👏
I almost heard, “I’ll go for Sarri”. 😂
Jay when he was choosing coach sir.
Sarri never played professional football though
Mr.Peanutbutter 🤔
Delet this
Such a humble and nice guy
My retired 5 a side team is van der star gk my cb Roberto Carlos my lw Henry st pele rw Zola my midfielder Maradona
Thats 6 you idiot
That's 6.
My 5 a side team is people who still people in goal courtois defender Ramos and attackers messi ronaldo and hazard
No midfielder?
Great team
Buffon, Maldini, Baresi, Maradona & Baggio would've been better imo
Think on paper ur team is better. But he was going on team chemistry, which is why he picked Careca and desailly.
Hodor he played with the players he named so i think he knows better than some guy in the internet
Well the man Zola knows :)
Can you get rid of the one dislike please who ever you are
Did the host mention John Terry??? smh they over hype British players. Terry isn't in the class of Desailly, Costacurta, Maldini and a bunch of other players Zola played with. Don't get it twisted, Terry played in a global popular league so he got more exposure than he deserved.
Doc Dre Overhyping does happen alot, (especially here in England)but JT's titles include :-
5 Premier Leagues
5 FA cups
1 Champions League (1 runner up)
1 Europa League
3 UEFA Defender of the year
4 UEFA Team of the year
Rio Ferdinand:-
6 Premier League
2 FA cups
1 Champions League
1 World Club championship
Both players played just short of 20 seasons at the highest level of football. They played a similar amount of games for both club and country, scoring at a same type of ratio.
Doc Dre, spotted the Arsenal fan much?
@yung oreo i take Rio, Sol Campbell, Tony Adams and even Martin Keown over bluddy over hyped Terry. Kompany too.
yung oreo Titus bramble is the best cb in history
Not a massive fan of Chelsea myself (LFC fan) but you can't not love Zola - absolute legend and gentleman
5 a side team is a farce. It should be 11!! But he's team is solid can't lie but he didn't mention Del Piero, Gullit and Ravelini.
@WVY KING Ravanelli! 😃
@Fncbm Ravenelli*🤣🤣
ravelini 😂
I was getting annoyed thinking who would he put ahead of Maldini. Then he said Baresi and all was fine
@José María González Lol. Maldini didn't play nearly his whole career at FB because he wasn't good enough to play centrally! What?! What kind of thinking is that? We're going to have to agree to disagree. But if you look at almost any writers attempt to rank the footballing greats I think you'll find that the vast majority have Maldini ahead of Desailly.
@Michael Jenkins Desailly's awareness was one of his best traits. He was NEVER out of position. In fact, he was so good at it, that if you watch the french run in the euro that they won, often times Emmanuel Petit would drop back to let Desailly carry the ball, as Marcel would steal the ball without touching the attackers.
Maldini was amazing, but not perfect. His positioning wasn't always the best, hence why he'd be put as a fullback for many years, as his athleticism would allow him to catch up whenever he made a mistake. Even at this, however, Desailly was better.
No doubt Maldini is a top Italian defender, but I wouldn't dare call him betten than Baresi and Scirea. No way.
@José María González Wildly disagree. Maldini was a perfect defender. Absolutely perfect. Desailly wasn't close to perfect. His athleticism often got him out of problems that Maldini's perfect positioning stopped from happening in the first place. Maldini is someone who should be in just about everybody's greatest team ever. Desailly was a great player, but he's not at that level.
@Michael Jenkins Maldini was a phenomenal player. Great technique, great reading of the game. Desailly had all of that, and was also faster, stronger and had a better touch on the ball. Desailly, for France, was as important as Zidane in the euro 2000 and more important, in the 98 run, that Zizou.
Yeah, Maldini was phenomenal, but Desailly was better.
Lol
wow no dislikes yet? guess this team is worth looking at then
Baggio
Legend.
Please follow my instagram: ahmadmulyatarmizi
One of the best 5 asides so far!
Gullit didn't even get a mention nice one
It ain’t fifa
Mexiuz 7 shut up
@Abdulinho 11 so you are telling me Gigi buffon was at his prime at parma
Gullit wasn't at his prime with Chelsea
11 a side is better
Oof what a team. Excellent from Gianfranco. Chelsea legend.
Nice
What a team
English better than Harry Kane’s.
Not a high bar to clear.
Comedy genius.
Hugo Rake Ha ha ha ha ha ha
Filip Vikenes Well good for you then
Aubameyang next please

Asiimwe Osama why what’s the point I can tell you what he would say “I don’t need 5 me and black panther are the best team in the world “
