Paolo Maldini, the man who made kids dream of becoming defenders
Literally the reason I play defence 🥲
Agree..
Dammm you right .. all kids wan be def no st
Yup, he was the reason I played in defense. The legend!!
Goosebumps
Maldini has played more CL finals than most teams have. Incredible.
That's old AC MILAN for you.⚫️🔴⚫️🔴😅
Lies again? Serie A Leader Sheng Siong
@@NazriB ????
@@NazriB i mean its not lies, if you even play in one final this is technically correct
And has won way more finals than the whole Man City team with Guardiola and all
I have never seen Thierry so awestruck by any man until Maldini. He’s the legends legend.
Us that were able to watch those teams and even before totally understand why. He exuded so much class on that field!!
Seeing arguably the greatest premier league footballer of all time fanboying over Maldini just tells you how great he was
@@Vman979_ Ahahaha
He was star struck by R9 as well. As someone who grew up in the nineties Maldini and Ronaldo and Zidane are the legends of legends.
Maldini is so handsome as well.
The respect they showed Maldini is why this show is miles above others. These aren’t just pundits, or retired players they are FANS of the game and show it. I loved this.
This was the best football show I’ve seen in long time! Perfect team of four. Funny, informative, competent. I am not subscribed to whatever platform allows to see their show live, but I always watched it on KZhead when uploaded
Right?? Jamie's joy on his face because he realised Maldini knows them shows how humbled they were and the respect they have for him. So genuine I love it❤
I AGREE MAN👏👏👏👏
The fact Henry was smiling, polite, and simply star struck speaks volumes. Not just anyone. It's Maldini. He looks good Great human Etc When a world class player like Henry can admit he was scared of Maldini, yet still remain humble and star struck that says all you need to know
Very good point.
The way Thierry said "He said he loves us" sounded like a groupie 😂😂
💚🌍
Theirry says this it means something. Maldini class act
Absolute benders
😂😂😂😂
Just look at their face. After Maldini said that, they had a face of kids opening their christmas presents. Even the usually bitter Carra.
Maldini is one of the rare players that are loved and respected by almost every fan. Class on and off the pitch
@Roxxx ut's not the CL trophies. Sergio Ramos has won 4 and a world cup and two euros too. But has definitely not as much class as Paolo Maldini ! You need only to give quick glance on their red cards ! Maldini : just 3 in his entire career, as a defender !
Who ever hate Paulo is not a fan of football
What's funny is that he's not liked by some old milan ultras because he's always been against those neanderthals.
@@LoveMusic-bp4iv do u speak English?do u understand English? Why u get nervous when lws7394 he just said the same thing: use Google translator and u would realize he means he appreciates more Maldini than Sergio ramos
Yo colo love your edits
As a LFC fan, Milan were terrifying, kids today won't understand that Kaka, Ronaldinho, Pirlo, Schevchenko, Cafu, Crespo etc were scary, but Maldini was a monster. Imho, the best defender that has ever played the game.
Ahh what days.. what players. Luis Figo, Zidane, Ronaldo, Rivaldo. And those goal keepers no one talks about
The era before that was better. Maldini, Baresi, Rijkaard, Guillit, Van Basten
bravo
@@tonywilliams7152 actually Maldini was there too 😂
No one cares
"I won five...but I lost three." that's a winner's mentality right there 💯 legend of the game!
We lost to Marseille, Ajax and Liverpool. We deserved to win the 3 matches.
@@KingMaldini03I think the one against Marseille was a massive missed opportunity in 1993 as was the final in 2005. Milan blew it big time in the early 2000’s because they won the Champions League in 2003 blew a 3-0 lead in the semi-finals in 2004 & than lost the final in 2005. It’s interesting why Milan blew significant leads in that period when their defence was the best on the planet.
@@NoName-jq7tjquarterfinals in 2004*. I agree, we had such a marvellous team
@@federicopaolo9388 Yes but the defence is possibly paradoxically or the psychology of the team is interesting. Nesta, Maladini, Costacurta & Cafu & others blew massive goal advantages in the early 2000’s. Milan should have won 3 Champions League in a row. This is something doesn’t get mentioned. For me the peak of Milan was the 1993/94 side. It had the nucleus of the Saachi team completely evolved by Capello into a menacing machine.
@@KingMaldini03 It's crazy how close Maldini was to winning all 8 UCL titles. He barely lost all of those three matches by either 1-0 or by penalties in Liverpool's case.
Maldini: “I’ve won 5 but lost 3😂” The fact that this man had the opportunity to compete for the UCL winners medal EIGHT TIMES is 🤯🤯🤯
He’s famously labeled himself “the biggest loser in history” (3 CL finals, 3 Intercontinental Cup finals, 1 WC final, 1 WC semi, 1 Euro final) rather humble of him, considering his 7 Serie A titles and 5 CL, including a Serie A 3-peat, 2 in a row CL’s, and an invincible Serie A title (91/92).
@@bcbitchkkv also he fucking played in Serie A when there were 6-8 genuine contenders every year with world class players.
A bit like lebron, lol
@@avikon7407 a truly underrated league . The atmospheres are great , good players , great competition. Wonderful

Maldini is one of my all time favorite players. Such a class act. Absolute legend
In all honestly, he’s the greatest defender of all time and it’s a crime how attacking players are discussed in the GOAT categories whereas defenders like him isn’t 🤦♂️
@@hellohi1445 exactly.. he is among the greats

I grew up watching maldini back when Italian football was the best. What struck me was his professionalism. He was cool and calm unlike plenty of his fellow Italians who have a reputation of losing their temper. Legend
"If I have to tackle, I have already failed" - Greatest quote by a defender ever!!
I still don't understand the actual meaning of this
@@thevi_ it's about out thinking. About using the brain rather than physical strength to stay ahead of the opponent.
@@thevi_ il significato della sua frase vuol dire che se lui fa una scivolata,mette a rischio il gioco della partita, la palla può non uscire fuori e gli avversari possono riprenderla e fare contropiede;oppure regali una rimessa laterale alla squadra avversaria e la squadra riesce a salire nella difesa e riesce a pressare di più.Quindi il suo ragionamento è quello di anticipare l'avversario e passarla sempre in avanti così sia la squadra non perde il senso del pressing sia allontani la probabilità di un possibile contropiede.Ti consiglio (se non ho hai ancora fatto ovviamente) di andarti a vedere dei vecchi video su KZhead delle sue giocate,vedrai che raramente riesce a fare una scivolata,cerca sempre di recuperarla in modo che non esce e temporeggia in modo unico gli avversari; se guardi i suoi video capirai perché per la stragrande maggioranza dei tifosi e giocatori lui sia considerato il miglior difensore di tutti i tempi,non gioca in difesa solamente per non fare passare l'avversario,ma è anche un giocatore molto intelligente,ne vedrai pochissimi come lui.Spero di esserti stato d'aiuto,ti auguro una buona giornata.

Maldini has a great sense of humour. Proper legend
“I used to love Thierry Henry, but now we have a bigger star”. 😂😂😂
Its funny how Micah and Carre asking Kate to meet Maldini like a child asking his mother to go for a meet and greet, Henry is like the eldest son who quietly sitting wanting the same thing but letting the younger brother ask for it. Lol
You must be the elder son , 😂.
Even getting tackled by maldini is an honour. The way Maldini tackled the ball. Bending his leg and aiming the ball while sliding. The way he read the situation and the play. What a player
you know the first time I watched Aaron Wan Bissaka tackle the first thing I thought of was that looks exactly like how Maldini (and Nesta) used to do it - almost telescopic leg right at the ball every time haha
Best
Never saw that again in current defenders, the capacity to steal the ball and tackle the attacker without violence.
Wan-Bissaka looks like he's break dancing. Maldini looks effortless

The fact that Carragher mentioned the 2005 final and Maldini didnt even mention that 2 years after that the same AC Milan team that he captained dominated the final and beat Liverpool clean shows the class of the man
That is the irony...Liverpool were the better team in 2007. In 2005 they were played off the park.
Liverpool was destroyed in 2005, but won.
An example of making others look good too
actually Carragher mention 2 champion league...Carragher said "we meet at 2 champion league"...he mention the 2005 one because he got Maldini shirt in 2005
I've won 5, he said.
For anyone who hasn’t seen Maldini play in his prime, I’m sorry. The absolute 🐐
Carragher at 6:45 saying “he knows me!” And laughing like a little kid full of wonder. That’s the impact of a true legend. Huge respect@ 6:45
"I used to love Thierry Henry,but now we have a bigger star"😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The new generation will never understand what a football legend Maldini was.
They won’t man 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
KZhead
They will. He's actually a legend to the younger generation because of FIFA. Every kid plays FIFA and he is the best defender you can buy in the game. He's like some God in the game.
@@CharlieF.O KZhead won’t do him justice enough
Criminal when they compare him to modern defenders.
I am fan AC Milan and maldini but the level of respect Henry shows is beyond football.
This, younglings. This is the greatest defender of all time. Almost 1000 games as a defender and not a single red card. Not once.
Unfortunately he got some red cards in his career, but I see what you mean. He never got it for being disrespectful or for trying to enjury people, I don't remember them all but he was pushed to get the red card for the teams better
Paolo Maldini was an icon in the heart of the defence for AC Milan. No wonder no one has come close to him 5 Champions League medals and lost 3 finals. What a Legend of the game🔥🔥🔥💯👌🏾

One of the rare 'knocks' against Maldini were his relatively lower statistics when it came to tackles, and a wily Italian journalist tried cornering him once by suddenly quoting his tackling stats during the interview and then asking why they were so poor. Maldini, without skipping a beat, replied: "If I have to make a tackle, then I have already failed". That just about floored the journalist, and the segment on Italian TV became famous. In fact, before 'going viral' was a thing, before the internet, the quote actually became world famous. It goes to show you that Maldini just saw the game very differently than how other defenders and pundits saw it at the time. While they were more concerned with tackling, he was focused on positioning so that he didn't have to make one at all. The quote also shows his situational awareness about what the interviewer was trying, and his sharpness of mind to give him a response that while true, turned the tables and made the journalist lose his composure. While his dad played for AC Milan for 12 years and won the Champions League both as a player and as a coach with Milan, Maldini was in 8 Champions League finals and spent 24 years playing for the Rossoneri!
Maldini’s dad never won the Champions League as a coach. He was European champion coaching Italian Under 21 Team three times
As an Inter fan I have nothing but respect for this guy. A true legend. It's funny how no pundit talked about the club or the match but they just became fan boys. It says it all.
I mean your Italian how can u hate your own countryman 😂
The fact that even Thierry Henry was fan-girling over him tells you all you need to know about Maldini. Paolo Maldini, Franco Baresi, Bobby Moore and Franz Beckenbauer are the greatest defenders ever to play the game.
if you're gonna make that list, Nesta needs to absolutely be there.
Yea Nesta is in there above Moore unfortunately
And by unfortunately, i just mean it’s sad moore would have to drop down but it’s just facts
@@aigamisoumalaka990 no Booby Moore is greater than Nesta…
@@vb2388 ... and then you woke up from your dream.
I can understand Maldini better in speaking English than my English teacher what’s going on in England 😂
Well, is your English teacher scouse?
You could say the same about Carra 😂
Hahaha..alex furguson is one of them
Better than Harry Kane
@@BardiaSaeedi At least that accent originated and is unique to England. Maybe that's why so many want to immigrate here. 😂
Football generations will never forget Maldini, the man epitomizes class, absolute legend who was majestic in all definitions of a pure defender.
Maldini and Baresi are probably my two favourite defenders of all time. There are two statistics in football history that will always be mindblowing to me. Messi's 92 goals in one calender year and the fact that Baresi and Maldini played 196 games together as a central defense pair (Maldini played most of his games in his career at left back, which aren't counted in this stat) for AC Milan and in those games only conceded 23 goals.
I think Maldini is the GOAT of defenders, but the stats above is misleading. They actually played 297 games and conceded 221 goals. 23 goals was probably the average goals conceded per season they were together - which is still very impressive.
@@anashamidithe stats is actually true. They only played 196 games together as the starting centre backs (Costacurta was the starter alongside baresi, Maldini was a left back) and in those 196 games they only got scored on 23 times. As crazy as it sounds this stats real.
Fun fact Milan conceded moar goals this season 😅
The definition of aura, class, greatness and elite is Paolo Maldini.
Sums up everything I want to say man, his charisma within the team, his football is just class and beautiful to watch. What a legend. And what a privilege it was to have seen him play through his prime.
Paolo Maldini in unquestionably the biggest star in that segment. What a legend.
Yeah sorry but no. Give some respect to Thierry henry will you.... guy should have won a ballon dor 2003 and made worlds defender eat the turf
@@goodebening6564Maldini is more respected and more of a legend than Henry
Henry was great but there haven't been any better defenders than Maldini. There have been better forwards than Henry, it's not disrespectful to say so.
@@goodebening6564 Is Henry in the conversation as greatest striker? No. In fact if anyone mentioned him in debate it would be followed by laughter or shaking of heads. Is Maldini in the conversation for GOAT defender? Not only is he in the conversation, most have him number 1 CB/FB all time including myself. Ask anyone on the planet, who would you take in your team? I reckon over 90-95% would pick Maldini over Henry.
@@jimsim8736 nah henry was one of the greatest strikers I've seen and he is defiantly the greatest player to play in the premier league. Although I do believe that there is fowards that have been better than him but maldini is the goat CB imo
Even for me, who just watched Maldini when he was 35 until his retirement still think at that age, he's still in his prime. I cannot imagine how good he was playing in his prime. Absolute legend!
He was exceptional...
Even at that age, when he was approaching his 40’s, he was still world class. He was elite for over 20 years at the top level!
He was like what you saw, but he seemed to be everywhere without spending too much energy or looking stressed about anything.
I remember him man marking CR7 out of the game in 2007 when CR7 had just been crowned poty and young poty days earlier. Maldini has everything and made it look effortless - Class, Poise, Leadership, Integrity, Elegance, Presence, Grace, and an unmatched aura.
Maldini is iconic. Pure class and grace.
5:29 the way all three of them got starstruck and started discussing 😂😆THE GOAT 🐐
The “woooo“ all three of them just shows how great of a player nd human Maldini is
Paolo Maldini is the legend of legends, Henry’s reactions summed up how immense he really is
And cardinale severed him from Milan
My 5yo son watching Maldini videos and suddenly leaps of progress in his defending. Even his coach was like what happened and then I just said he started watching Maldini. You could see the admiration for that name in the coach's eyes
Ngl, if I was running down the pitch with the ball at my feet and saw prime maldini staring back, I'd bow, give him the ball and griddy out the stadium.
5:51 Maldini was and still is a perfect human being: defender, captain, sportsman, champion, gentleman, knight, fashion icon, husband, father, friend, fan, philanthropist, humanitarian, businessman, spokesman, sport director and so on… A role model in every possible sense and every possible situation. Everything he touches turns to gold. Just look at Titi, it seems he’s in love with him. You could said some (or some more) bad things about Maradaona, Pele, Cruyff, Zidane, Platini, Romario, Ronaldo, Totti, Henry, Gerrard, Best, Buffon, Cannavaro, Matthaus, Van Basten, Weah, Benzema, CR7 or even about Messi but this man is flawless. His level of divinity and nobility is out of reach.
couldn't agree more
One of the best comments I've come across
@@namanverma1939 Thnx bro.
Puyol too
beautifully written that’s how I feel about him also! 😊
Jamie saying "he knows me" sounded like how I would react in that situation 😂. Maldini, what a player! I don't think anyone can dislike him.
“I won 5, BUT I lost 3!” Mentality of a winner right there!
So heartwarming to see Henry's sincere compliments to Maldini. Also, both of those guys are incredibly sharp dressers and look incredible for their ages!
"Does he know us?"😅 Well as a crazy Maldini fan I just want to say this: everyone is a superstar until they meet Maldini.
Crazy Maldini made his debut 40 years ago next year... Still looks like he could go at least 45 mins. Looks great.
It's crazy..maldini play against maradona,R9, Zlatan,and CR7
Insane genes
@@mugiwaraluffy6791 Add Messi to that list aswell Messi has played against Nesta and Maldini. There is a list of legends that Maldini has faced.
Damn I wasn't born then, and I look older than him.
From 16 to 41 years old, 902 matches in Milan, and (besides his debut season) with his lowest match number in a season being 19 matches in the 2001-02 season.
I love Italy since ‘90 and I live in France and the rivalry is always there, so hearing Henry throw so much respect at Maldini, in that generation, just adds another level
I'm watching this with a huge smile on my face! Paolo there's nobody who does not respect or love you! You'll always be the ultimate defender and one of the best players in the history of the sport!
You can see the emotion of a player like Henry talking with and about him. He's been the idol of players like Puyol, Roberto Carlos, Sergio Ramos, Marcelo and so on. Everyone in the football industry knows that when you talk about Maldini, you are talking about someone that is over the definition of legend.
That's true 👍
Arguably the greatest defender of all time. What a legend.
Arguably? Who else is there 🤣 Zidane even praised how good maldini is
Franco Baresi, another milan defender, arguably better than maldini
@@hnature1973 oh I don’t think so everyone always gets excited when Maldini has to deal with R9. Baresi was good but Maldini I think is better. I’d even say beckenbauer was better than Baresi but I’ll deffo give him third place

Maldini made me love football. Overall defensive ability = Check, Elegance on the ball = Check, Game intelligence = Check, Leadership = Check, Sportsmanship = Check, Loyalty = Check, Big game player = Check, Consistency = Check... could go on and on. Paolo Maldini basically ticks every box. One of the very few players who were simply perfect at every level.

@@johnnyawsm8942 or even more unfair and play him with Baresi - boom 1991-92 Serie A invincible trophy (58 games unbeaten), and 93-94 Serie A champions with just 36 goals in 34 games, but 15 goals against.
@MetalForTheMasses did they really score that little? That defense was absurd. Insane quality The only thing that comes close is the juventus bonucci barzagli and chiellini. We were allowing like 20 goals per year not more than 30.

An absolute colossus of the game. His impact cannot be understated. He made defending an art.
We use the phrase GOAT too often, but Maldini is immortal & is one of the GOATs of the game, certainly as a defender he was the benchmark of excellent.
He's certainly the best defender I've ever seen and I barely saw him play. I'd still like to Add Moore and Beckenbauer to the all time defender list aswell.
Moore is not close to maldini or beckenbauer
It also helps that he was mentored by another GOAT, Franco Baresi!!!

Paulo Maldini is the greatest defender of all time 🐐
This guy is a legend, that said from an Inter Milan fan.
The greatness of maldini can only be explained like this, when an opponent has a good game against maldini, the person immediately becomes famous and great, and there are just a small handful who managed that. Love Maldini forever, and love Thierry, such a monster striker but so respectful when he sees a master
“I won 5, but I lost 3” imagine winning more CLs than losing! Nothing but an absolute world class legend.
Maldini era was insane. Italy was pumping out some of the greatest defenders to ever play the game.
Maldini is like the perfect human being. Incredible athlete, one of the best of all time in his sport, probably the best defender of all time, incredible discipline, humble, never got arrogant, classy and handsome, family man, fantastic leader, intelligent and smart... I don't blame them for being starstruck like this 🤣
I remember the day he retired, I could not stop crying! What a player, what a human being! Unconditional love for his team, a winner, a humble man! UN CAPITANO C'É SOLO UN CAPITANO, UN CAPITANOOOO C'É SOLO UN CAPITANO!
My word. What a player he was. The name itself is enough.
The aura radiating off this man is insane he's got an all time great in Henry oozing over him
I've never seen a better tackler than Maldini. Every time he tackled someone he never fouled them - such clean and effective tackles with very few yellow cards and I'm sure never a red. Add that to his brilliant positioning, pace, technique on the ball, great overlapping attacks and supreme sportmanship and you have an absolute legend and icon of the game.
Power, Speed, Technique, Timing, Ambidextrous, Determination, Fair Play, Positioning. Maldini is the greatest defender of all time. Even in current times there is not asingle defender that even comes close to his level.
Maaannn CBS struck gold with these guys 🤣 Class interview with football legend

Maldini is one of those rare players who is nearly universally liked and easily walks into any all time world XI A true generational talent that we'll likely never see again and as other people have already mentioned, he ticks every box. His quality as a player, the trophies he has won and how long he was able to maintain that form of consistency. Truly incredible
maldini is not a plyaer.. he is ICON of game
Maldini looking as good as ever
