[@jackmurphy6864]

@@Idris-ku9xm But they had Capello as manager. They were woeful in Europe with his dinosaur tactics. Hoof the ball up into the corner for the two big forwards to chase. That was basically his only tactic. The two in midfield, Vieira and Emerson were dreadful too - neither could run at that stage and were well past their best. No pace in the team either.

Del Piero was truly something else between 95 and 98. For me he was basically a 90s version of Messi. But then the injury. Despite being good, it's undeniable he wasn't what he once was and never reached his true ultimate true potential 🥲

[@andjelkozlotvor]

Baggio was better.

[@niuniuita]

@@andjelkozlotvor I agree in general but that Del Piero was unreal. But I would've liked to see a Baggio that didn't start his career with an iron nail keeping his knee together.

[@andjelkozlotvor]

@@niuniuita They're both legends. I was just pissed off by comment above saying Del Piero was a 90's version of Messi. That's very disrespectful to all great players from same decade like Baggio, Savicevic, Romario, Hagi, R9, Ginola, Okocha... After all, there wasn't players like Messi in 90's. He's so unique, just like many of earlier masters.

[@sr3821]

He got Champions League title, World Cup title, Serie A titles and his name is in FIFA 100 list. Not a bad career, eh?

[@jaxnorthmusic7863]

He was definitely one of the elite maestros of football at that time.

[@RasenRendanX]

The thing i love about this guy is the build up before he names drops a global icon like before he says Del Piero or Zidane. Very lovely story telling.

[@Sang-Drax]

Saw someone mention your channel on reddit as the "best football channel on youtube" and I was skeptical when I saw 3k subs, but after watching a couple of vids I see he was absolutely right and you're just criminally underrated.

[@anirudhb30]

The Del Piero compilation from 29:05 - 29:27 sent literal chills down my spine, even though I never had the opportunity to watch him play in his prime. Absolute legend of the game, at such a young age. Wow. What a ridiculous player.

[@robertoditerlizzi1983]

In those years I never missed a game of Juve at the pay tv and sometimes I went to the Delle Alpi. I can only say that I agree with the guy, Del Piero was the greatest player on Earth, at the same level of Ronaldo. Much Better than Zidane, he was devastating, fast, dribbling skills and the tecnique that we already know. Than he got injured in the final and he did a so and so WC tournament due to this injury, but in the 98-99 he started again to be the top, before that injury in Udine

[@mitadrusen]

He should've got the '95,'96 or the '98 ballon d'or.

[@syedmyaqoub858]

Del Piero was a monster before the injuries took pace off him. I had the pleasure of watching him when he signed for Sydney FC but yeah him in the 90's was the thing, only superseded by Ronaldo

[@andrewpap1789]

That goal was something else… outside of his foot volley legit impossible it blows my mind

[@Raydensheraj]

Del Pierro was an incredible offensive weapon...Striker and Offensive all-rounder...he was somewhat the guy Italy needed after Roberto Baggio.

[@chuckymcchuckface8768]

I wish Seria A could get itself together and rival the Premier league. The beauty and style of the Italian game in the 80s/90s was unbelievable. Loved watching football Italia in the 90s as a teenager.

[@FC-ju9et]

In an era when West Ham want 120 million (!) to sell Declan Rice, Baggio would cost double the price. Same goes for Del Piero, Van Basten at his prime and these stars that showed their class back in the day. I am not talking about R9, as he could cost even more, if he was playing today...

[@KimarKurosaski]

@@patmctallica3522 this is dumb logic because these guys were at the peak of their powers almost 13 years ago. If Messi and Ronaldo and R9 were 22 in 2023 they would go for 200 million today 😂

[@NereoSal]

The fact that you included the great Sandro Ciotti in this video really means you know your stuff about Italian football. My compliments!

[@CrisisAqua]

[@exquisitelemonade3039]

Looking at some of Baggio's club choices, it's obvious he veers from family like clubs to big business clubs and back. It strikes of a guy who knew he had to go on to higher levels but was at his happiest representing a club he loved.

[@dsanchez9703]

Im a big Baggio fan, i feel he deserved to have been on that 1996 Champions League winning team.

[@mitadrusen]

@@dsanchez9703 baggio in Juve is kind of like Cantona in United. Although, they are considered one of the most important players in their clubs' history, they needed to leave for the team to be reconstructed and rebuilded for the them to reach the pinnacle of European football.

[@handzar6402]

@@mitadrusen Baggio was also unlucky the play for these teams when they were at their worst. The guy was literally the best player in the world and one of the greatest of all time, but he never played for a competitive team. Plus, his injuries made it even worse. Juve's re-emergence had nothing to do with Baggio leaving.

[@Linkonpark100]

It's said that because of his quiet personality, Baggio preferred to play for smaller teams.

Been a Juve fan since the CL final against Ajax in '96. Im Dutch and I was 10 at that time, and it was the first time I saw a live match of Juventus. Such an amazing team. Huge Del Piero fan. This brings back so many great memories of watching these guys play when growing up

[@nichhodge8503]

I remember after Italia 90 (the 1990 World Cup in Italy which is still my favourite World Cup) Italian football was shown on English national TV (I had been watching it previously as my parents had SKY satellite tv which had Italian, German & Spanish football on Euro Sport) and all my friends liked Milan because how well they were doing plus they had the Dutch trio of Van Basten, Guillet and Rikjard with the odd one liking Napoli because of Maradona but he soon left so those people went to liking Milan. Non of them liked Juventus let alone properly supported them with their hearts like me and I was so pleased when Baggio came to Juventus as he was my favourite player

[@roryslaine7896]

I'm not disagreeing that Inzaghi was a great player, but he only made one appearance in '06 WC and it was as a substitute 😂 Totti, Del Piero, Luca Toni and Alberto Gilardino were all ahead of him in the pecking order. Still though, I also have very fond memories of that Italy 2006 team.

[@xaynreza6550]

Yet all the forwards scored first, Iaquinta, Gilardino, Inzaghi, Toni, Totti and then finally at the death of the semis in the last min, Del Piero strikes and blows Germany away to reach the final! What moment and experience that was!

Can't wait for the next one, you make me want to go back and read over old books I have about European football. Watching that video makes me wonder would you ever think of doing something on Parma? They were quality team who came out of nowhere, and had an amazing rise and stunning fall. Again, great work, this is the quality we come to expect from you. The fact that your budget is substantially less by many digits to a large sports network, and the fact you make something this good, goes to show the talent and dedication you have to this craft and hobby.

It’s strange, i watch these fantastic presentations from this channel and it spurs the memories i have of watching these clubs eras as they happened. Friends i was with, family members no longer here, im not sure if it was because i was in my youth but football was magical in those days, i watch todays top clubs year in year out and despite great football top players somehow it doesn’t feel as special, when you watched AC Milan in the late 80’s/90’s you knew it was special, or united in 99, something has changed, I can’t put my finger on it but back 20, 30 years ago every team seemed to have so much talent, even the minnows.
