Fabio Capello's Best XI Football Players 

I refuse to believe this guy is 76, he looks like he’s 50

I closed my eyes and it sounded like an Italian chef cooking a spaghetti dish.

"More or less, my best 11. It's 14 but it's the best!"

Baresi and maldini..can't go wrong with that

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.

Finally someone mention Redondo

I love that he goes with Dejan “the genius” Savicevic besides the issues they went through

R9 played 645 minutes under Capello and made it on his greatest 11! Damn! The goat of football O Fenomeno!

Redondo is one of the most underrated players. We got robbed of so many years through injury. Had to retire early like MVB ☹️

Ronaldo and Basten will have perfect assist from Totti, pure class

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 .

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.

Could easily have picked the WHOLE Milan team from 94.. Desailly, Albertini etc.... WHAT a team that was.

Savicevic Genius...🙌👏👑

Totti will give them thousands of assists i'm sure , Capello sayed all i need to put totti , my favourite all time player

Imagine having Buffon, Carlos, Maldivian, Baresi and Cafu lining up every week! 90’s and early naughties were the golden era.

I was shocked he mentioned my all time favourite player Savicevic!!! Since i think they had a fall out but its good see

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 !

savicevic. absolute beast

Savicevic + Redondo 😍😍

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.

Holland trio + Savicevic = doom

He choose Redondo, intelligent man

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.

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

he looks like old man character on UP movie

The Neapolitan music... It's like putting bagpipes while a Welsh talks.

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 signed Emerson for 3 clubs he managed so I was surprised he left him out

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

Redondo & Rijkaard, what a best ever! Surely, for the same time, Redondo could play with Makalele but Real Madrid had broke the duet.

Praticamente il Milan

Nice sense of humor at the same incredible coach

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.

What a great gentleman.

il Genio!

Sono passati 20 anni e passa, ed ancora non si è levato la fissa di mettere Savicevic a centrocampo... 😑

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.

Can't believe he picked Van Basten and Ronaldo over Crouch!

Savicevic, before the guti passes it was him .

WOW! What a team, Mr. Capello!!

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.

What? No Heskey?

describing Van Basten as a "really professional player", that's like calling Beethoven "an excellent timekeeper"

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.

and beautiful landscapes cit.

Redondo era un jugador tremendo!!! 😊🇦🇷

Grande squadra, giocatori incredibili, Marco Van Basten, è stato meritato, lui è lì, la coppia di difesa perfetta, terzini...

Remembering trio Rijkaard, Gullit, & MVB AND Brehme, Mattheus, & Klinsman as neighbors 😂

This starting xi would be the best team in the world if they play at their prime.. Absolutely.

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 !!!

Laureus: Fabio, please choose your best XI. Capello: They are 14, but they are the best 11... King! 👑

Love the background music lol..

Totti as a playmaker would be dream land for any team

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.

Offcourse, hé couldn’t go without Van Basten...🙏🏼

That back line.. very nice.

Love how much thought he put into this

He’s not talking about his England Team then.

The most underrated soccer player of all times : Roberto Donadoni!

Great man

Redondo's forward-back heel against Henning Berg was awesome (RMFC V MUFC) in the Champions league.

Savicevic one of best ever player....ronaldinho before ronaldinho

Ottimo filtro a centrocampo, perfect interdiction in the midfielder...

Baresi wasn’t just a defender he was an exquisite playmaker too His pin perfect passes from 60 metres are legendary Boss

Legend

"My best 11. It's 14... But it's the best" - Fabio Capello

Genius!!! 🤓👏🧠🧠🧠

What a team! This would Billions today..

I love the way he emphasizes "professional", we need more managers with his sterness.

Redondo 💙

Totti always

Fantastico Don Fabio, l' avrò rivista 50 volte la sua Top XI

so far the most true choises i ve ever seen.all of them monsters

Nema bez deja genija I Dan danas ga postuju I cene u milano

Cafu, Maldini, Baresi, Gullit, Savicevic, Van Basten and Rijkard 7 de 11 son del milan extraño a mi milan :(

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).

*Such fitting music!* On a side note, _I expected him to be rather grim..._

TOTTI is a LEGEND

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 😔😟

Che fenomeni in campo😮😮😮😮

you are do so much amaizing changes on football clubs it is amaizing

Im surprised he didn't put his golden boy, panucci

i love capello, he is one of the greatest coaches

What a squad!

Magnifique équipe

When Capello said " the best", so it must be "the best", btw, i like so much his defense team

. . . ma la musica da mandolino . . .

Great mister

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

Redondo❤️

Savicevic, Genije.. 👍

this just cant be beaten.....respect!

Did not expect Savičević, though Berlusconi forced Capello to play him or get fired.

Bravo Fabio Viva Gorizia ❤ SALUTE da ISTRIANO
