Paolo Maldini does NOT get picked! | Gianfranco Zola | Ultimate 5-A-Side 

Not a massive fan of Chelsea myself (LFC fan) but you can't not love Zola - absolute legend and gentleman

One of the most polite individuals I’ve ever met . What a team as well 👏

I was getting annoyed thinking who would he put ahead of Maldini. Then he said Baresi and all was fine

Oof what a team. Excellent from Gianfranco. Chelsea legend.

Wonderful player and a gentleman. He said that Maradona taught him to do curling free kicks when they played together at Napoli. Old school knowledge.

One of the best 5 asides so far!

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.

If Careca had been fit for the 1982 World Cup with Brazil he’d be more famous as a World Cup winner.

Zola was absolutely brilliant and a very likeable bloke,i am a Newcastle supporter and i grew up watching zola at Chelsea and remembered wanting us to sign him so much 😂 great team by the way

Gianfranco Zola What a legend and such a gentleman. We love you Gianfranco sir.

Sardinian pride. Best player ever of our Island, our Nation!

Zola 5’6”, Wise 5’6”, Maradona 5’5” (but with his arm 6’5”)

Zola was there first great I remember since becoming a fan of the blues .... this guy will have a special place in every Chelsea fan’s heart

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.

Such a humble and nice guy

11 a side is better

Absolutely skilled player Zola, great to watch him play. ⚽

Love this man, he’s so humble...

Should try and get in more legeneds like this! So interesting to hear about older players

What a guy....i love him so much

Even Maradona called Zola as his heir at Napoli

Zola25 absolute Legend, Top Team Vice Gaffer👍💙⚽👏

What a lovely bloke! :)

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.

What a sound character Gianfranco is

He's an incredible footballer

Legend.

didn’t maldini and baresi concede 23 goals in 196 games? Great partnership

Yes Careca 🇧🇷 and Maradona 🇦🇷 ... Careca was lethal in front of goal

Zola is taller than marradonna being 5ft5 and zola is 5ft6

What a team

WHAT a team btw..Jheeeez

What a team! ..younger kids needs to see this lol

legend

This TV presenter is really good.

Buffon, Maldini, Baresi, Maradona & Baggio would've been better imo

Great team

Best Affordable Icone on Fifa19 😂

baggio should feature

Still Numero Uno!

Footballers back then: Pissed off when their technique wasn't on point. Footballer now: Pissed off when their hair ain't on point.

Maradonna El D10S. yayyy 💥🥳

Leaving Maldini for Baresi is forgivable but leaving Baggio is not!!!

Careca.. That man was a beast.. Before R9, Basten & Sheva.. There was Careca.. Complete striker he was..

One of the most skillful players to grace elite football. Ron Atkinson wouldn't agree with 4:21...

A lot of facts...

When you hear players like Zola talking About Diego and not even mentioning Messi you know and so are all the ones who grew up with Diego how Utterly Out of this world he was. When you think of the pitches and the attacks on Diego limbs you can’t deny Messi is not in his world and I’m not even mentioning all the World class players Messi had during his career…Diego had a few and that’s Why I’ll never take Anyone over Diego

You have no idea the great player Careca has been. Baggio was one of his first fan.

Glad he picked a striker that most will not of heard off, and he seems to have thought about this alot You can see he thinks more about things that most people do not appreciate He just does not name all the best names he can think off, he would like to have seem them play as a team

People that have played with maradona know he is the best ever

Zola voted best chelsea player? Error: zola is one of the greatest premier league players of all time

I almost heard, “I’ll go for Sarri”. 😂

His English is actually good

What's cool is that you can get Zola and all the players he chose in Ultimate Team. Wanna try that out some day, I think Baresi and Desailly would be dynamite in defense

Gullit didn't even get a mention nice one

wow no dislikes yet? guess this team is worth looking at then

I hate Italian football but I'm happy to admit that Maldini is the best defender to ever walk this earth.

How many footballers have players have played with so many actual world GOATs as Zola has?! Oh and Maldini every day! With Baresi. Two incomparable legendary defenders.

gianfranco sei in inghilterra da mille anni ancora hai la pronuncia da immigrato appena sbarcato ahahah! scherzo, sei un grande

Zola not wrong on Maradona btw,. He's the best we've ever seen.

Where's Cannavaro??? Won the World Cup for Italy and the Ballon d'Or. The only defender that ever won the Ballon d'Or.

Nice

marcel so underrated

When maradona was on fire. You knew u will win the game !!!

I wish this reporter knew a bit more of the sport of football, not only the Premier League.

Baggio

Maradona, Baresi and... Dennis Wise 😂

rip diego

as an interfan: YOU FORGOT THE BEST DEFENDER EVER!!

nice interview with ben stiller

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

”You must be proud right” ”Nah I’m very froud”

Can you get rid of the one dislike please who ever you are

Basically Maradona and 4 others.

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?

Actually Maradona was 1.65 cms. while Zola is 1.68 cms...

Aubameyang next please

Desailly instead of Paolo "GOD" Maldini !!!

This shows why Zola who was an amazing player, was a rubbish manager. He picks Marcel D, over Maldini, because he says they played together and had chemistry???? Maldini played centre back with Barasi and they STILL hold the record for most top flight clean sheets in football. I mean HOW MUCH MORE CHEMISTRY do you need?? Also in 5 aside you need players to drift wide if need be. Marcel was central and could not do drift left. Maldini was left back and a centre back. I love Zola as a player. World class. But as a manager, he is not very aware 😅

maradona and the next

This is what Rafa Nadal will look like in 10 years.

That's a ridiculous 5-a-side team.

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

He only left maldini out cos he had to put a Chelsea player in

I know they played together, but careca over baggio….no no no no Gianfranco! que cosa a fatto!

Baresi played with maldini tho but ok

This team concedes 0 goals.

My 5 a side team is people who still people in goal courtois defender Ramos and attackers messi ronaldo and hazard

Then yellow teeth 🙌🏻

A solid hair transplant

Ahha doesn't mention messi lol

No Paolo Maldini?????? 😲😲😲😲 Bein' with Chelshit has really fucked up his mind.

Buffon may play at psg still but hes terrible and fkn aeriola takes his spot

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.

Legend.
