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

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!

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

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.

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

Such a humble and nice guy

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.

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

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

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

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

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

Love this man, he’s so humble...

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

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

11 a side is better

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

What a lovely bloke! :)

He's an incredible footballer

What a sound character Gianfranco is

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

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.

Even Maradona called Zola as his heir at Napoli

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

Legend.

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

WHAT a team btw..Jheeeez

legend

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

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

What a team

This TV presenter is really good.

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

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

Maradonna El D10S. yayyy 💥🥳

Best Affordable Icone on Fifa19 😂

Great team

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

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

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

Still Numero Uno!

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

baggio should feature

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

marcel so underrated

Gullit didn't even get a mention nice one

A lot of facts...

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

His English is actually good

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.

Nice

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

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

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

Baggio

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

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

rip diego

Basically Maradona and 4 others.

Maradona, Baresi and... Dennis Wise 😂

nice interview with ben stiller

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

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

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

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

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

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?

Aubameyang next please

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 😅

Desailly instead of Paolo "GOD" Maldini !!!

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

maradona and the next

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

This team concedes 0 goals.

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

Baresi played with maldini tho but ok

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

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

Then yellow teeth 🙌🏻

Ahha doesn't mention messi lol

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

A solid hair transplant

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

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

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.
