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

[paulosantiago]

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

[benadrylcucumberman]

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

[dickyhernadi]

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

[SimoneFumasoli]

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.

[trollingone]

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

[Timliu]

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.

[RM-grmc]

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

[Drvol]

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

[rizalbojesz]

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

[joshjenner]

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 .

[seanpatrick]

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

[simonforrest]

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

[aNiSPoPsTaR]

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

[notdisclosed]

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.

[graziflorida]

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 !

[andalanjawabarat]

Two best Italian center backs and two great Brazilian full backs. cant argue with that.

[alexkos]

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

[chunkz]

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

[mattiasantangelo]

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.
