Sven Goran Eriksson makes astonishing choice in selecting his Ultimate World XI | MNF 

Pavel Nedved. Left back. Sort your life put

*out

Ian Griffiths don’t think he gives a damn about the formation mate. Just wanted to put a world class player there that he managed... not rocket science

Guys in the comment section won nothing in the game laughing at a guy who has. Oh yes the internet 😂

young french Torbjörn Nilsson was the top scorer in the Uefa Cup 81/82 and in the European Cup 84/85 and 85/86, while playing for a Swedish “amateur” side. He scored more goals in european football than anyone else from 81 to 86 when he suddenly retired at the age of 32 to become a chef. One of his last games was the semifinal of the 85/86 european cup against Barcelona where he scored 2 goals. Sven knows what he’s talking about. Don’t underestimate Torbjörn Nilsson!

Sinjin Smyth please expand I’m interested 😂

Bro that's what all managers do. At least this guy is just saying it as it is.

Yes managers and consultants are the biggest bullshitters. They let people below them do the work and tell them the facts.

@Sinjin Smyth There's definitely something he's doing right.

@Sinjin Smyth lol tell

Goteborg had a very good team. Even after Eriksson left, they won Uefa Cup again and reach European Cup semi-finals, where they lost in penalties vs Barcelona, after winning 1st leg 3-0.

@@LuisFerreira-kn2nn Yeah but Sven led the way with his sucess. If he didnt win that first Uefa Cup, I dont think IFK would be as good later in the 80s.

@@jogabonito5027 sometimes, is harder stay at the top, than to reach the top

​@@LuisFerreira-kn2nn No offense, but I dont think you know that much about Ifk Göteborgs history. Before Svennis won the Uefacup the club was in a chaotic state, several board members were forced to resign, and they had millions in debt. The year Svennis won the Uefacup they even had to take out a loan just to travel to the game against Valencia. The victory in the cup saved the clubs economy, there is no way the would have managed to be as succesfull later in the 80s without that revenoue that the Uefa cup win generated. They might even have been forced down in the swedish 2nd division.

@@jogabonito5027 no offense taken. I just say, sometimes, is more difficult to stay at the top. Eriksson was a great coach. He came here, to Portugal, to benfica, were they won the league back to back, and reach uefa cup final.

Yep he's a great coach. His team was silly but I see his logic he couldn't leave out Gullit or Nedved in fairness. Lazio legend won us the league brought some great players people are simps.

Abdi Ahmed that’s what I have been trying to say but these thick England fans don’t understand. Those teams had world class superstars as well as world class managers like Capello, Lippi & Ancelotti.

He was but not anymore. Just like you have great players for couple of season n go shite.

@@franqueworren7323 yeah, that's super annoying, exasperating even,

He never coached Gullit at his peak. Gullit was at his majestic best when under Sachi. That AC Milan team was one of the best club sides ever to play the game. Erickson coached Gullit when he was in decline.

Better than Christian Vieri or Hernan Crespo though? Not a chance.

@@ScrivScrivener Of course it's a matter of opinion, but neither Vieri or Crespo has ever been top scorer in europe and Torbjörn has a vastly better goal average then them. He scored 14 goals in 14 games for IFK in the European Cup and 12 goals in 14 games in the Uefa Cup. And, again, it was for a swedish amateur side against big teams like Barcelona, Hamburg and Kaiserslautern.

If he was the best striker Sven ever coached? Maybe, maybe not but he was in the same league as the players he had in Lazio, Sampdoria, Benfica etc. And I thinks it's great of Sven to give a shoutout to Torbjörn who is criminally forgotten and anyone who laughs at that only shows his ignorance.

Not the goat of Sweden its Ljungberg Larsson ibra then him

Sven knows best. hands down

This comment deserves more likes 😄

Just don't mention Ulrike and Nancy!

It's so very funny)))

@@adeelbaig8167 does it? Shite patter.

Football Italia days. Veron, Dino Baggio and Nedved. That Lazio team was worldclass and the Parma team he managed wasn't too bad either. Anyone who used to watch Football Italia wouldn't be disrespecting Sven like they are. Too many influenced by the British tabloid press, The Sun and News of the World in particular

That Lazio team he managed always flopped in Europe - even lost to Leeds United one year. Thrashed by Valencia another as well.

@@franklingoodwin bollocks, Sven was a bang average manager - and I was a massive fan of Italian football in the 80s, 90s and early 00s.

I made reference to his players not him. He pretty much is what mourinho is now at spurs.

@@ziggywiggy3650 that comment was a response to somebody else. His Lazio team was also worse than the sum of its parts. He did win the league with them so credit where it's due. But they were always humiliated in the Champions League. Most expensive team in the world by far back then as well. They were spending money back then that wouldn't look out of place today.

Pppffff Sven Eriksson made Sinisa a better player because he knows he had a special weapon! Unbelievable left foot scary. In western Culture they dont like/recognize serbian players.. they want to see Beckham or Hooijdonk they are good but Miha they dont care

@@redstar612 I agree! Freekicks, only Juninho is on his level. His contribution from defense was probably unrecognized because there wasn't much attention to deep lying creative players. In this era, teams would have had their defensive midfielders tackling this guy to stop him from passing out from the back. That left foot was out of this world. Till this day, whenever I go out to play, I imagine myself to be Sinisa LOL!!! (I know am nowhere near)

I remember Mihajlovic and he wasn’t a great defender

@@Gouldinho25 Yes! But his left foot was without a doubt, legendary

@@Gouldinho25 i agree he wasnt the best defender ... but that left foot made him a great defender.

Sven is fantastic. He did really well with Manchester City.

I feel you bro, i feel you.

as a chelsea fan i always have admired serie a

Hilarious

The host was way off. The English say Hullit for some reason. You have to say the G like a hewbrew :) (like L’chaim 😂) thats the dutch G

@@olafAFCA exactly 😂👏

Shteno Exactly, too many people talk and have no clue about it. Some even weren’t born,

Late 80s 90s and 2000s belonged to serie a. 96-2003 was peak of footballing quality.

@@alxnd_r6345 YOu obviously know NOTHING about the 80's, when Juventus had Platini, Napoli Maradona, Milan the great Dutch trio, Inter had the German great trio, Udinese had Bieroff, etc, etc...

@@Shteno Did u read my comment at all? I said those 3 decades belong to serie a. around 2000 that league had better players than all of todays team combined

@@alxnd_r6345 YES! You said LATE 80s! And it's not just late! But ALL THROUGHOUT the 80s! That's the point!

He was a bluffer who was fine when the players were able to do it for him but would sit on his hands doing nothing when things were going wrong, instead of being proactive and doing something positive to earn his money. For England, the "Golden Generation" team basically picked itself when fit, considering how few English players there were available in the PL, Sammy Lee took the training sessions and I remember one substitution where there was a mix up regarding which player came off/went on and so the wrong one was made, yet Sven sat there twiddling his thumbs instead of getting up and taking control......It makes you wonder what he actually did for his money! Then on top of all of that, he was secretly touting himself out to clubs like Chelsea for the money when still England manager and instead of sacking him, the FA were daft enough to give him an extra million as a golden handcuff while he was still under contract anyway.

@@seanscanlon9067 says the man who hasn't even managed a 5 a side under 6's team... 😔

@@vduigdtgfffhhjufd2042 Good to see that you did not actually disagree with what I actually said then, which I am guessing is because it was all true. Oh and by the way, I've never driven in a Formula One car before either but if I see a driver stall his car on the starting grid or crash into the tyre wall, then I reckon I can make a judgement call on it. You do get right that you don't have to have done something yourself or to even know how to do something yourself, to know when somebody has done it badly or wrong? If you want to disagree with what I have said then that's fine, but then argue your case with things to support it, and don't just go for the tired and lazy "show us ya medals then" approach. Sven was a failure with England and anyone who thinks otherwise is deluded, and he then went on to be a failure at Man City and Leicester too. Oh and let's just say for example that Alex Ferguson was to later say much the same as I did about Sven, does that suddenly make my views right then? Call me old-fashioned but I go by what's being said, rather than who is doing the saying and if what's being said is accurate and valid, then that should be all that matters. So you can have that little life lesson for free, as well as never dry your mouth on the corner of somebody else's towel.

@@seanscanlon9067 sorry so because he didn't win the world cup with a depleted England side he's a failure? Or because he didn't win the league @ City with Darius Vassell up front with Nedum Onuoha and Richard Dunne his CB partnership? Please sir do your research before you call one of the most successful managers of all time a failure solely based on your opinion that his time in England wasn't "successful" lool... There is a life outside England you know mate...

@@vduigdtgfffhhjufd2042 He did not only have to win the WC with England to be a success, he just needed to do better than flopping as badly as he did, where he did no better than and in some cases worse than previous managers but for a lot more money. I'm also not sure where the depleted England part comes in, considering he has the likes of: Beckham, Campbell, Carrick, Ash Cole, J Cole, Defoe, Ferdinand, Gerrard, Hargreaves, Keown, Lampard, McManaman, G Neville, Rooney, Scholes, Seaman, Sherringham, Terry and so on to pick from, and how many League winners from several countries and CL. Mind you, he also gave caps to James Beattie, Lee Bowyer, Sean Davis, David Dunn, Francis Jeffers, Anthony Gardner, Paul Konchesky, Zat Knight, Gavin McCann, Chris Powell, Michael Ricketts, Jlloyd Samuel and Alan Thompson too, so....... He also did not quite understand the concept of the best 11 players do not necessarily make the best first 11 team, so tried to crowbar in all of Scholes, Gerrard, Beckham and Lampard into the same team, with Lampard as one of the most attacking and highest scoring midfielders totally wasted in a defensive role at the bottom of a diamond, instead of being decisive and not so wishy-washy and choosing one of Scholes, Gerrard or Lampard as his main attacking midfielder and then choosing from the likes of Barry, Carrick or Hargreaves in the defensive or other roles for balance and have them playing in their normal positions, instead of Gerrard on the left wing......And it was even made easier for him too when 3 became 2 when Scholes retired from international football, yet Sven still couldn't grow a pair and make the call. Then you had the farce of him choosing a 16 or 7 year old Theo Walcott (can't quite remember) to warm the bench at the 2006 WC despite only having played 13 senior games and none of those were for Arsenal so no games at all then in the PL, whilst leaving behind proven PL goalscorers like Darren Bent, who was the top scoring English player in the PL that season, Andy Johnson and Jermain Defoe. OK so none were world beaters but at the time had to have been better choices than Walcott. Yet considering Rooney and Owen were starters and Crouch would come off the bench, he just wasted a selection that could have been used elsewhere......Even Vassell perhaps? And no I would not necessarily have expected Sven to win the PL with Vassell, although he picked him 22 times for England when he did not have to, so in his judgement rated him but I would have thought they should have been finishing above 9th, which was one place behind Portsmouth when Ciry failed to win 23 of their 38 games that season and managed to lose 13, when his players included Joe Hart, Micah Richards, Stephen Ireland, Dietmar Hamann, Elano, Benjani and Daniel Sturridge. Oh and just for the record, Sven is not one of the most successful manager ever, unless you mean one from about 2,476

I read that in Sven's voice 😆

:D Made my day

xD xD

Hahahaha

😂😂😂😂

one reason is that he played just one international game at a major tournament and that was before his european cup breakthrough. during his best years sweden failed to qualify for euros and world cups

Stop trying to justify him. Let me go and put Lionel Messi in goal for my Ultimate XI then. Come on man. 🙄

Hes allowed, thus he gets this segment on skysports, its funny how people arent allowed their own opinion on this.....deal with it.

@@rickylovesyou I am quite well actually lol I didnt lose any sleep. I'm saying that in the comments it's all people jumping on him saying about nedved left back and he's a fool etc but not listening to what he's saying

Nedved player left back in 532 with his former club and national team.

positionally, his team is ALL OVER THE PLACE!

Well no not literally?

and he was far better for England than any of those near him in time.

They swear they’re right about everything and then they have dumbasses agreeing w them 💀

I'm English but I liked Sven. He did well for England. Top manager with a proven track record. He was amazing in Italy tbh.

Flop , cluless clown as manager, wasted scholes

Yeah I remember that team from championship manager 99-00 lol.

Man I'm already raging at his strikers smh

👍

Yeah Nesta above Jt and Rio too

Yeah Nesta was a bona fide proper defender

Matthew Adshead I think it was the process for England managers 🤣

Yes, the UK football-elite is still so selfcentered and selfabsorped, and thats why England wont win anything international, easily seen by english managers in PL. Chris Wadlle and others pointed this out 20 years ago. Beckham vs Mihajlovic is an example, and yes to question Roberto Baggio is plain sillly.

I think youre being a little harsh

@Frank Wharton-Hughes Right these people are so weird

That’s why he failed at england

Tbh though, he could have put Gullit at CB, moved Mihajlovic to LB, and played Nedved on the left flank.

U most definitely don't play football. U think Nedved couldn't be as potent as Philip lahm or Roberto Carlos? LB are very dangerous LM

Who cares? He never played in PL.

@@andjelkozlotvor goo goo gah gah

jabo babo he played Scholes LM come on man

The England team was not bad by any stretch of the imagination.

Stupid comment, England’s team at the time was full of talent and he put Paul Scholes at left mid? Stop with your bias

@AJ I suppose it depends on how you measure that really. I think even now England are ranked #4 in the world via rankings.

English people in general are overated. They got where they got in the WC because they played with crap National teams. They're National team was always overated. They think they are the best, when they are actually second divison in Europe.

Well deserved.

Me too, that Fiorentina team was a joy to watch, him Batistuta, Rui Costa, Jorg Heinrich, Francesco Toldo, Angel Di Livio e.t.c... It's great to see his son Federico Chiesa following in his footsteps at the same Club...

Chiesa and Crespo at Parma. A great partnership

@ShiftCtrl85 How did you arrive to that conclusion? (Not a Utd fan)

@@mistereuro4738 seems pretty obvious to me

Of course Gullit was better. He was arguably the best player on the planet in his prime.

Gullit played a different role on the pitch,Redondo, Seedorf and Pirlo were better midfielders than Scholes

@@FranciscoGarcia-qi7bx oh dear 😂

Exactly, that's why Neymar is a fraudmar

The scouts and youth coaches are forgotten..?

Martin Petrov before the injuries was incredible. Trade Petrov for Scholes in that 2004-2006 England team and they win at least one of the tournaments.

Siraaj Uddin agreed, nonsensical. Also thank you for typing in extremely short sentences, I’m not very intelligent so it helps.

Appreciated mate.

He's jus trying to get as many top players in the team as possible which is what alot of people do making ultimate 11s. Its not that serious
