Franco Baresi: The Man Who Schooled Maldini, and Frightened Maradona

Рет қаралды 533,211

Күн бұрын

The Milan man of the century, Franco Baresi heroically captained the Rossinieri out of the Serie B and into the club's most decorated period. The loyal libero was at the heart of a back-line that is generally regarded as the greatest ever. A tough tackler with an unmatched ability to read the game, Kaiser Franz is undoubtedly a legend of football and THE icon of AC Milan.

My dad shared an elevator with Franco Baresi, Alessandro Costacurta and Paolo Maldini in a hotel in Milan sometime in the late 90s. He was so starstuck he didn't ask for a picture, but his colleague took one after they left the lift, so there's a family photo in my collection of my dad smiling liking an idiot with three famous Italian football legends walking off in the background.

Baresi is an absolute legend, and like you addressed he was undersized for a centre back. Just goes to show his knowledge of the game. Another similar Italian is Fabio Cannavaro who was also only 5'9 and considered undersized for a centre back. But his performance at the 2006 WC was nothing short of legendary. I'm from Ireland so I didn't really mind who won that WC but it was hard to pick a side with Cannavaro and Zidane being two of my favourite players. I enjoyed seeing Italy win but it was a heartbreaking way for Zidane to end his career.

Baresi was a defending legend. AC Milan in the 80s, they virtually had the Italian International defense on their side. Baresi, Maldini, Costacurta. One of the best teams I have ever seen. Lets not forget other great defenders like Cabrini, Passarella, Kaiser and a defender who is not well know because his national team was weak at the time. I am talking of Elias Figueroa (Chile), he was awarded best player in Sth America 3 times, Brazil wanted him to play for their national team. He was also awarded best defender in 1974 WC where Beckenbauer also played, captained and won WC. He was outstanding. There are no such defenders anymore, they cannot read the game, cannot dribble under extreme pressure and have no timing in tackles. Ie Ramos, sent off 28 times and a liability.

Great job on this video. Although I’m an Inter fan I have no problem saying that Baresi is THE best defender I’ve ever seen play the game. A true legend ✊️

Well-researched with some great photos and video footage. That was a very interesting documentary about one of the greatest defenders the game has ever seen.

Just discovered this channel, and I love this video. What a classy defender. Does much to dispel any illusions about ball-playing defenders being a really recent phenomenon x

Man I remember singing the Franco baresi song walking home from school in junior high with my best friend And this was in Johnson county , Kansas in the 80s. That’s how legendary baresi was, American kids in Kansas knew who he was

Narration was top notch, Baresi was a Class act, this level of quality at milan is unmatched in football history, i mean the italian league at that time itself is unmatched in quality even today across europe.
