I closed my eyes and it sounded like an Italian chef cooking a spaghetti dish.
@Zdravko Keko nice joke dude
@Zdravko Keko Capello has never coached Modric and Messi
@Zdravko Keko why are you so stupid goddamn
Modric is not even in the top 5 right now
@Zdravko Keko if you read the description then you'll know that Capello put all these players in his own squad because he coached them all
I refuse to believe this guy is 76, he looks like he’s 50
@@rahulmodi8706 my mind is still arguing with myself that he is 73 😂
@@rahulmodi8706 sorry but yeah he looks way too young
You guys say he looks young. My social studies teacher looks like he’s 30 but he’s 80.
That's all that walking around posting letters
Olive oil.
"More or less, my best 11. It's 14 but it's the best!"
The funniest TopXI for sure lol
With the players he has managed I'm sure he had a hard time picking a single XI.
It's not even 14 it's 13
@@SkeledroMan CORRECT!
some are just options of others
Baresi and maldini..can't go wrong with that
Even tho I'm Italian I gotta say Cafu was an hell of player.
@Zdravko Keko hahahahah nice banter
@Zdravko Keko no
@Zdravko Keko What country are you from?
@Zdravko Keko hahahahaha what a prick you are dude
Finally someone mention Redondo
Remember his cheeky backheel vs Man Utd?!
@@lardosian I'd never seen him before that game. What a player
Frankly he's better than Keane technically, English media hype keane b4 the match with Madrid. Redondo even a giant in Argentina national team that consists of veron, ortega, simeone at his peak.
Best holding midfielder of all time!
redondo the last classic dmf.....
You understand what kind of badass teams a coach has been training, when his top eleven squad doesn't have Batistuta as striker and you can't even argue because there are Ronaldo and Van Basten already.
And Ibrahimovic
I would have picked Batistuta over Ronaldo. Anyway both great
@@miguelporras8366 😂😂
@@miguelporras8366😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@miguelporras8366Even Batistuta admitted Ronaldo is the best he saw.
R9 played 645 minutes under Capello and made it on his greatest 11! Damn! The goat of football O Fenomeno!
Better than Messi!
2006 world cup the manager complained about r9s weight problem but said the guy scores goals so I can't do nothing to Brazil media
I love that he goes with Dejan “the genius” Savicevic besides the issues they went through
They may have had issues, but Capello was completely aware how ingenious Dejan was.
Savicevic Genius...🙌👏👑
Redondo is one of the most underrated players. We got robbed of so many years through injury. Had to retire early like MVB ☹️
Thing is i believes science is the one that failed us at the time if they had the same injuries today the impact would be less damaging and their careers would've not ended that way same thing for Ronaldo
@@OmrRed92 Ronaldo's injury was absolutely terrible though..I mean.. It's not the normal sort of injury that happens to players..He was unbelievably unlucky but he still managed to climb back to the top of the tree even with that monstrosity of an injury
Underrated by people who know only zidane ronaldo messi ramos and cr7!
Underrated? Stop reading ratings
Even post-injury he won the Ballon d'Or and took the world by storm.
Ronaldo and Basten will have perfect assist from Totti, pure class
savicevic. absolute beast
Totti will give them thousands of assists i'm sure , Capello sayed all i need to put totti , my favourite all time player
Savicevic + Redondo 😍😍
Could easily have picked the WHOLE Milan team from 94.. Desailly, Albertini etc.... WHAT a team that was.
I was shocked he mentioned my all time favourite player Savicevic!!! Since i think they had a fall out but its good see
They may have had issues, but Capello was completely aware how ingenious Dejan was.
I was very sure Capello will put Totti as the last man in his lineup. Versatility, technique, vision and finishing all in one man, and not to mention a loyal player for Roma as well - a true legend of the game.
No Heskey, no Wes brown
@@levanabrzeni Might as well put Robert Green 😂😂
Totti? Lol he almost killed Balotelli
poor mans özil
@@26DeislerFCB shut up he was a one point possibly thr best player in the world
He could of just picked his whole Milan team from the early 90's , I watched more of them than any english team , they were awesome .
Channel 4 those were the days james Richardson
The dutch trio man they were incredible
@David Clinging Yes thats true about arigo and dont forget that he brought Italy in World Cup 1994 to the final.... He was an incredible Coach, but we have to admit that Capello did a good Job in Ac Milan too....
Filippos Siakavaras In Italy people praise Capello more than Arrigo. Honestly in 94 was just Baggio, even if he missed that penalty 😢 but that stupid noon final was a disgrace, the temperature was miserable.
@@paololuvara7955 yes thats right, 94 baggio was the leader in italys offense and brought italy alone in the final..... But they had also absolutely the best defense with baresi, maldini, costacurta and a good keeper with pagliuca..... The final was the worsest game in tournament and yeahh your right, it was fuckin hot to play football...... 🔥
I have NEVER seen cry Capello but 1 time. When Marco Van Basten quite playing soccer !! Marco was so beautiful to watch, pure class, pure elegance. Amazing technique, the most complete 9 of all times! What makes me sad is that, at Ac Milan, we never saw the real Van Basten. We only part of what he could do because of his ankle injuries, he never played 100% ! Just imagine what he could do without injuries. Lots of players have injury problems unfortunately. Same Ronaldo ( Brazil) had to deal with a huge amount of pain and injuries. R9 and MVV were the best 9 i have ever seen play !
Imagine having Buffon, Carlos, Maldivian, Baresi and Cafu lining up every week! 90’s and early naughties were the golden era.
R9 is the greatest footballing talent in history.
@@FatTodd, not according Capello and many others.
@@hermannus3894 You are talking out of your ass. Most players, trainers and many others still think R9 is the best ever.
@@hermannus3894 Look who talk😂
Fifa 05 Cafù 90 Nesta 94 Stam 93 Maldini 92
what a team! Fabio is surely one of the best managers of all time. His record speaks for itself. His AC Milan team was incredible.
Donadoni also very underrated.....he was a top player. He didn't score much, didn't have a great shot, but he could dribble and cross like only a few could.
Two best Italian center backs and two great Brazilian full backs. cant argue with that.
Actually, if you're going with a 4 back line, the better one is Cafu - Baresi - Scirea - Maldini. Maldini was a natural LB. However, if you asked me for the greatest team, it'd be a back line of 5/3 depending on if you're defending or attacking. Cafu - Nesta - Scirea - Baresi - Maldini.
@@SandroMagna you're probably right. I didn't get to watch Scirea. I grew up watching Maldini, Baresi, and Nesta. As a Milanista I've never seen a stronger backline than Milan's especially in the (early) 90s (+ Costacurta, Tasotti, & co.).
@@andalanjawabarat I'm a Milanista as well. Scirea was so good that an aging Scirea sat Baresi on the bench during the WC in the national team. If you ask me who the best ever CB is however, my answer is Nesta. No defender was as complete as him in every aspect of the game.
@@SandroMagna uff I didn't know it. I'm going to watch his video clips then. The only "problem" here is that the fact he was a juve player. I guess that's why I rarely saw him play or even knew that he was that good. Btw agree with Nesta. I picked Maldini because he played as good in two different positions, CB & LB.
Holland trio + Savicevic = doom
When the phenomenon is in the team, that team is already the best.
I had to pause the video when he mentioned Fernando Redondo just to comment on what an amazing player he was that rarely gets a mention anymore, injuries robbed us of a special talent. THAT Real Madrid goal against Man United is one of my favourites of all time
Assist
@@xtazy07 I never said Redondo scored the goal, learn to read
He choose Redondo, intelligent man
Grande Sir Fabio. after 30 years he still believes in savicevic, "il genio": one of those players that can fail 9 matches out of 10 but the day he finally plays good he's a sort of God.
Savicevic + Totti + Van Basten OH my God! 🤩
Totti😍😍😍
he looks like old man character on UP movie
More like postman Pat
when he mentioned Totti and his capacity to play in all the front, it was in that moment, when i realized Capello really knows about football
lol, him coaching milan juventus real and roma was not enough?
Definitely. When he coached England it wasn't really Capello's fault; blended team, good players but didn't seem stacked with their local rivals and definitely the ultimate reason why England failed because of that disallowed goal.
Goat
He signed Emerson for 3 clubs he managed so I was surprised he left him out
ni da me too
Redondo man.. Ahaha
yhea and panucci too
He had to choose between him and Savicevic. But as good as the "puma" is he can't even be compared to the genius of Belgrado
He never trained the best Redondo as far as I remember. I think Emerson would have made more sense indeed
Praticamente il Milan
La Migliore squadra dimentica di togliere Savicevic e mettere Desally insieme a Rijkaard e Redondo
They had such colorful players back then.
@memen Freeman VIVA Milan ❤
When Milan was the best in the world.
Redondo is more Real Madrid than Milan. Is a mix of Milán & Real with Buffon.
Some kids here wow..just WOW!! He chose his best, from players HE TRAINED !!! Pay attention kids, he never trained messi or cr7 or mbappe !!!
Redondo & Rijkaard, what a best ever! Surely, for the same time, Redondo could play with Makalele but Real Madrid had broke the duet.
The Neapolitan music... It's like putting bagpipes while a Welsh talks.
I don't think there will ever be a rightback/wingback better than Cafu. He was the best by miles that I've ever seen.
I completely agree Dani alves was great too but he can't eclipse cafu in my opinion.
Karlos fenomeno
Javier Zanetti is the greatest right back of all time.
I saw Cafu playing and I don't have such an amazing memory of him. (world cup 98).
il Genio!
Nice sense of humor at the same incredible coach
These (among others) were left out: Cannavaro, Thuram, Samuel, Zambrotta, Desailly, Albertini, Davids, Emerson, Seedorf, Donadoni, Nedved, Gerrard, Lampard, Del Piero, Baggio, Weah, Trezeguet, Batistuta, Ibrahimovic. Just to give you a perspective of what kind of players he managed during his career.
...Scholes, A Cole, Terry, Ferdinand, Rooney, Vieira, Van Nisteltooy, Kluivert, Hierro...
@@ricoriley1321 Scholes and Vieira yes :)))) The others a little bit on lower level than those I mentioned (maybe Van Nistelrooy) :) IMHO
Where is david beckham
Kaka
What? No Heskey?
He couldn't select gods just mortals.
@james newman lol, none will forget the world cup
got there just before me, i was just about the write this joke
James Newman Because he is the Lord. He don't need teammates.
James Newman heskey who?😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Sono passati 20 anni e passa, ed ancora non si è levato la fissa di mettere Savicevic a centrocampo... 😑
hahaha vero
Va be è sempre stato un centrocampista con i controcoglioni! Ci sta che lo metta 👍
Ci ha vinto una champions prendendo a calci il barca in casa sua. Per me può metterlo dove cazzo vuole, anche in porta.
Desmo Dromico ma scherzi?😂😂
Shadowsoul81 vero, ma non eravamo ad Atene, non a casa loro.
Laureus: Fabio, please choose your best XI. Capello: They are 14, but they are the best 11... King! 👑
They are 13 not 14 ... Roberto Carlos is one player not Roberto and Carlos
Can't believe he picked Van Basten and Ronaldo over Crouch!
are you feel good?? really?? Ronaldo is biggest forward in football history. Any trainer would pick him....
Yeah, I also cannot believe he did not put Robert Green above Gigi Buffon as well!
@@Timliu92 good shout! Another head scratcher that one for sure
This is Ronaldo the Brazilian. Ballon d'Or winner, world cup winner, top scorer in Italy and Spain and the world cup, Copa America winner. You're sure Crouch compares? Or is this a joke? Edit: just read that he never won champions league, won world Cup twice, record top scorer at world Cup, 49 goals in Europe...
Do you know who is Van Basten????😂😅
Quality. Exceptional understanding.
Of course he put the legendary Raúl. He even said that he is the best player he ever coached. What a player he was.
Redondo era un jugador tremendo!!! 😊🇦🇷
Grande squadra, giocatori incredibili, Marco Van Basten, è stato meritato, lui è lì, la coppia di difesa perfetta, terzini...
Baresi wasn’t just a defender he was an exquisite playmaker too His pin perfect passes from 60 metres are legendary Boss
All these old names from the previous generation! So many wonderful players; its like you get the feeling of the Schumacher Era in the Formel 1 back.
Redondo 💙
Savicevic one of best ever player....ronaldinho before ronaldinho
more like Messi before Messi
My best 11 4-1-3-2 Buffon Cafu - cannavaro - Maldini - R.Carlos Rijkaard Modrić - Zidane - Iniesta Messi - C.Ronaldo (Portugal) Best 11 number 2 Casillas Zanetti - Ramos - Nesta - Marcelo Viera Xavi - Ronaldinho - Nedved Henry - Ronaldo (Brasil)
Van Basten, GULLIT??
@@mmartijn78 both are excellent players, but I still give preference to these players. Of course,this is just my opinion.👍
Zidane and Henry 😂
Redondo's forward-back heel against Henning Berg was awesome (RMFC V MUFC) in the Champions league.
Cafu, Maldini, Baresi, Gullit, Savicevic, Van Basten and Rijkard 7 de 11 son del milan extraño a mi milan :(
This starting xi would be the best team in the world if they play at their prime.. Absolutely.
Grande Allenatore! Competitive, demanding, vocal and well balanced. Glad i saw the teams he coached play, with exception to National teams. They are after all a different animal.
England players number of appearances under Fabio Capello: (Figures including sub appearances) 14 - Gareth Barry 13 - David James 12 - David Beckham, Ashley Cole, Wayne Rooney 11 - Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard, John Terry 10 - Glen Johnson, Peter Crouch 9 - Rio Ferdinand 8 - Jermaine Defoe, Emile Heskey, Matthew Upson 7 - Wes Brown, Stewart Downing, Theo Walcott 6 - Wayne Bridge, Joe Cole, Shaun Wright-Phillips 5 - David Bentley 4 - Ashley Young 3 - Owen Hargreaves, Jermaine Jenas, Joleon Lescott, Michael Carrick, Robert Green 2 - Gabriel Agbonlahor, Phil Jagielka, Aaron Lennon, Jonathan Woodgate 1 - Dean Ashton, Darren Bent, Scott Carson, Carlton Cole, Ben Foster, Joe Hart, Michael Owen, Stephen Warnock
Savicevic, before the guti passes it was him .
describing Van Basten as a "really professional player", that's like calling Beethoven "an excellent timekeeper"
and beautiful landscapes cit.
As always strong mid field and defense, is a team to counter attack, and I'm not sure about Raul for left side usually he is a area strike, but agree with the structure
He played in that position with capello
Ottimo filtro a centrocampo, perfect interdiction in the midfielder...
The most underrated soccer player of all times : Roberto Donadoni!
Wow. Just this morning I was thinking of my Best XI. And I had exactly the same 4 defenders and 2 defensive midfielders (and Van Basten).
WOW! What a team, Mr. Capello!!
Nema bez deja genija I Dan danas ga postuju I cene u milano
Redondo❤️
Totti as a playmaker would be dream land for any team
I love the way he emphasizes "professional", we need more managers with his sterness.
"My best 11. It's 14... But it's the best" - Fabio Capello
And there are only 13
What a team, Capello was a great coach with an unrivalled c.v. It’s sad that he’s remembered as failure with England but that reflects worse on the players than him in my opinion. That World Cup squad of ours in 2010 were ok but had no fight, apparently they were ‘bored’ at the camp in SA. They needn’t have fretted, they flew home after a week or so 😔😟
and they didn't give you that correct goal
Totti: he can play here, here, here (può giocare qui, qui, qui) The most complete player in the team it appears. I don't dispute that Ronaldo and Van Basten were better forward, that Baggio had more touch, that Raul was a better finisher, but Totti excelled in all that and on top of that he has been the best passer in the history of the game (Xavi was a great passer too, maybe even better than Totti at a moderate pace, but the roman was better at first touch passes, sometimes behind is back or with a back-hill and let's not forget that Xavi had the best teammates and the best manager one could wish to have, thus they made it easier for him)
Totti vs Balotelli, most unprofessional player ever. Shame on him! Baggio was way better!
@@andreac392 I'd have kicked balotteli aswell!
Legend
Totti always
. . . ma la musica da mandolino . . .
Angelo Moretti con la tarantella hanno rotto la sacca scrotale.
Andrea Maccagni . . . e pensare che Capello è friulano.
Alla fine è la stessa cosa che facciamo noi in Italia quando si parla, per esempio, di calciatori argentini (i servizi di Studio Sport con il tango di sottofondo lol).
è vero ma almeno il tango è nazionale la tarantella no e ha anche cagato il cazzo
@@angelomoretti1874 Capello e da Gorizia
*Such fitting music!* On a side note, _I expected him to be rather grim..._
My favourite trainer. The best trainer in the history. He wins La Liga 96/97 when Ronaldo played his best season. Your teams were 'engrasadas' machines, tactics, pace, discipline, resilience, fight, an exceptional studies matches.
He’s not talking about his England Team then.
Offcourse, hé couldn’t go without Van Basten...🙏🏼
That back line.. very nice.
Love the background music lol..
TOTTI is a LEGEND
Francisco is my inspiration
Genius!!! 🤓👏🧠🧠🧠
certo che la difesa con Buffon e Cafu-Baresi-Maldini-R.Carlos è qualcosa di stratosferico , un mix di Italia-Brasile
What a team! This would Billions today..

Not a single English player though we was the England manager for 5 years :)
Wkwkww overhype player is what capello hates...
You couldn't name one player he coached for England that could be named before any of these options.
i love capello, he is one of the greatest coaches
Agree 100% Viva
When Capello said " the best", so it must be "the best", btw, i like so much his defense team
I like hits 11 alot. I'm not the greatest fan of Raul but i trust Capellos instincts any day to mine, so therefore Raul was magic. As a manager superb, one of the greats
Well… Capello said that Raúl was the best player he ever coached… so yeah you can trust him. Especially when he is not the only one who said that about Raúl. Raúl was extraordinary.
so far the most true choises i ve ever seen.all of them monsters
When Baggio played with Milan it was a time that he was hurt most of the time or else he would have made a bigger impact
Fabio didn't like Baggio. When he went back to Milan in 1997 he told he don't players like Baggio and Roberto should go out.
@@deBrilly Not exactly. He told him that he couldn't guarantee him the starting position. R.Baggio wanted to make sure he played a lot because he wanted to go to the 98 World Cup in France. Capello has always said that R.Baggio was a champion but when he arrived at Milan he already had some knee problems and could no longer train 100%.
There aren't many managers who are still living that could pick a better team.
Casillas Marcelo Puyol Ramos Alves Busquets Xavi Iniesta Cristiano Suárez Messi
@@AlWwW1 What has a combined Madrid, Barca 11 got to do with my comment? I didn't say there wasn't a better team in general. I said there aren't many managers still alive who've managed better players
Kevin McLaughlin oh my apologies, completely misunderstood the “coaches that have coached better players” part, I read it as a better XI. Sorry my mistake
@@AlWwW1 No problem mate 👍
