A lot of you aint respecting that he's been in this game 40+ years and his picking players on how they performed for him.
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!
This guy sounds like he winged his way through a managerial career.... what a legend lol
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
He still deserves some respect. I mean he won UEFA Europa League with IFK Göteborg, that's pretty remarkable if you ask me
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.
Torbjörn Nilsson was the best goalscorer 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 semi final of the 85/86 european cup against Barcelona where he scored two goals.
Sven knows what he's talking about.
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
People on here are calling a great manager a buffoon smh. The man won titles with Lazio when Inter, Milan, Juventus, Roma and Fiorentina were super strong.
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.
"Sven, you picked your wife as a keeper. Why?" "She is the best. And she is a keeper. She also never broke my Hart."
This comment deserves more likes 😄
Just don't mention Ulrike and Nancy!
It's so very funny)))
@@adeelbaig8167 does it? Shite patter.
His Lazio team was world class. Channel 4 for those who remember
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.
The best guest on Skysport in years. That talk took me 20 years back in time. Made me very emotional.
Sven is fantastic. He did really well with Manchester City.
I feel you bro, i feel you.
FINALLY! Someone who recognizes Sinisa Mihajlovic!!!! Am watching this 20 times
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.
You know... I just read about a week ago, that Eriksson is declared THE MOST SUCCESSFUL FOREIGN coach in Serie A history! Winning THE MOST Coppa Italias (4 - with three different teams) 2 Scudettos, and European Supercup....And don't forget, Till the late 2000's, Serie A was the best league in the world (now is behind EPL, and right about leveling with LaLiga), but in the 1980s & 1990s it wasn't just the best, but it was officially dubbed "THE NBA OF FOOTBALL"! And he achieved all those trophies in those two decades!
So... truly one of the greatest coaches ever!
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!
Hey respect for the great Sven Goran Eriksson! for us italians he's a legend.
as a chelsea fan i always have admired serie a
4:20
Host tries to pronounce "Gullit" correctly (almost gets it right?)
Sven Göran Eriksson pronounces "Gullit" in a strong Swedish accent
Host stands corrected
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 😂👏
It's not a Swedish accent, he named all of them in the italian way
Even though I am a Kiwi, Rudd Gullit is one of the reasons I have been supporting Netherlands since 1988!
Nilsson was an absolutely incredible striker.
One of the most underrated ever.
Not often spoke of.
But he had everything
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
The disrespect he’s getting in the comment section. There’s a reason he is a top 15 manager of all time and you man played a few career modes and think you are better than him. Lol
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
Have some respect England fans. Eriksson won 18 trophies in 3 countries, was well-liked by 95% of the players he managed, and has been praised by Diego Simeone and Roberto Mancini as having had a big influence in how they view football today as coaches. It's true that he didn't do great as England manager, but he also didn't do crap.
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
That team actually looks sick. Mancini was extremely skilled. Baggio was literally a god on the field. Yes Nedved on LB makes no sense but he said he had to put him there. And Nedved was actually so good all around that he could play anywhere.
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?
It's funny how he's not allowed an opinion on his own 11
It's also players he's managed so at the time he will have had better experiences with certain players.some of those may have gone on to be great and legends at other clubs etc but what would be the point in stating the obvious names that we could all just list off..it's interesting to hear about how and why he picked the players.interesting 11.i also think nedved could try underwater basket weaving and make it look elegant so left back he would do a good job if needed lol
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
Goalkeeper: Wayne Rooney. Because he was that good!
I read that in Sven's voice 😆
:D Made my day
xD xD
Hahahaha
😂😂😂😂
Respect to Sven. A great manager who won 18 trophies with a variety of league clubs in Italy, Portugal and Sweden, the first manager to conquer league-and-cup doubles in three countries. He also led England to the quarter-finals of the 2002 and 2006 World Cups, and Euro 2004.... 4 years on since this video and sadly he's been diagnosed with terminal cancer 😢 thanks for the memories Sven ♥
Sky Sports so hurt that a lot of the players didn’t play in the PL, god they’re so cringe.
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

This should be the interview process when selecting a manager.
Matthew Adshead I think it was the process for England managers 🤣
People in the comments thinking football is all about England.
Him not winning with your national team doesn’t make him a bad coach , it’s your team that’s so bad no coach could win with it
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.
Its true with Torbjørn Nielson, he had a different mindset, compared to most, but he was 3-4 years straight by far the best striker in the UEFA cup etc in the early 80's. Better than for instance King Kenny, K-H Rummenigge and Gary Lineker. And looking at the players S-G Erikson has to choose from, he's spot on.
If Nesta hadn’t been in that team I would have raged. What a player he was at Lazio. SGEs Lazio around 199-2000 was an insane squad.
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

Common man u don't know much about his positioning it's not FIFA🥴
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
4:57 The look of shock from the presenter when Jamie mentions another tv channel.
Love this team, full of technique, power and finesse.
prime nedved was a pure machine he never stoped running
You can see Sven's philosophy of playing his best players in the field in full swing here. He played Scholes as a LM for the same reason he selected Nedved as a LB in this XI, he was too good to be left out. Despite getting so much stick from the English fans & media, he was pretty good for England. Lost only 3 competitive matches inside 90 minutes during his lengthy tenure. Absolute top, top manager. Winning 3 trophies with Lazio in a single season during the best era of Serie A was probably his greatest achievement. One of the greatest managers in football history in my book.
Fascinating, love this interview. Nice to see a conversation about football as if it exists outside of England!
Nedved was an absolutely sublime footballer. Possibly underrated.
look at the aw he has when talking about his past players
More of this kind of interviews please! Really interesting.
Enrico Chiesa was one of my favourites players growing up, such an amazing player!!
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
Really enjoyed listening to him, a great manager
I could listen to his stories all day! Love it when sky sports does these...
“Sven you’ve gone with Wes Brown as right back. What’s the thinking there?”
“Ooooh I mean Wes. What a player. Big, strong. He was a chameleon on the pitch. When I say chameleon, I mean I’ve never seen someone look so much like a black guy and a white guy at the same time. Ita was incredibleeeee”.

Amazing tribute to Torbjörn Nilsson
Well deserved.
Torbjörn Nilsson was THAT good! He was a bit of a sensitive soul though so he never succeeded outside IFK Göteborg, not even in the national team.
I was in Milan Italy years ago and went to watch an evening game, Pavel Nedved come on as sub in a cup game against Milan and he was the turning point, he just looked class on the pitch, a cut above a lot of others playing that night, ended up 2-2 they were 2 nil down before he came off the bench
If you think about it, Sven was the guy that really started many of the best footballers careers. Veron, Baggio
The scouts and youth coaches are forgotten..?
One of the best ever. The answers on the questions are genius!!
He masterminded City’s first victory at Old Trafford in 26 years I think. Petrov played a blinder that day.
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.

He’s off his head. Pavel. Nedved. Ballon D’Or winner. Left. Back. Surely your best player plays in his actual position...
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
Nedved robbed Henry for that Balon D'or but yh legendary player regardless
He LITERALLY said Nedved never played defence in a formation but he can't leave him out
Listen.
He really swears by the 442 lol

True. Really great player, prob the best Swedish player ever. Too bad he was playing still for IFK Göteborg in the fall of 1982, or Hammarby would've become Svenska mästare.
Right at the end of his career when Veron played in the World Club Cup against Barca he was totally sensational. Nearly beat them single handily; when they were without doubt the best side in the world. Beautiful game from a wonderful player... was like one man trying to hold back the sea and he nearly managed it.

You're right there pal! Sven is bonkers!
Because Carragher can actually think for himself.
LOL
Yeh hes totally Insane rite enuf. All those clubs were wrong. Yawn.
One the great coaches of 80s-00s football
Legend of the game
Nedved was my favourite player. He was amazing.
Modric is a bit of a copy of him in terms of elegance in midfield. One of the most underrated players ever.
Like Verón
Verón also was amazing
Nedved better, both footed , first player I seen take corners with either foot .. legend and a machine
Pavel Nedved as an LB? Lol
lm sure but lb? lol
Josh Gray why did you comment this 5 times
Did you hear what he said?
Josh Gray echo?
mab m bugging me too!
Played Nedved at LB, Gullit as striker, Veron wide right...classic Sven. Off his face!
I love that he said Baggio!!!!
I don’t understand why people think he’s taking the piss. He picked an awesome team there. The only surprise was GK.
He's always reminded me of Elliot Carver the James Bond villain in tomorrow never dies 😂😂
This man is crazy!!
Eriksson always said that Kasper was one off the best goalkeepers in the world, he said that when he was at Manchester city or when he was trying to sign him from Leeds. One or the other.
Get well Sven 🙏
Not sure if I’m supposed to look at it sideways or upside down 🤣👍😎
Baggio was out of this world , his touch is unique in football , a pure talent .
he dominated the world in one of the hardest football Era full of legends and MMA defenders ,no VAR no protection he was the king with a broken body ,he played football in high level with 7 knees surgeries.
even the legendary Baggio of Viola Erikson who dribbling all teams+goalkeepers was just a broken kid without his natural knees.
without injuries,better manager and better mental with hard work even maradona have no chance with baggio in football
Sven and the story he could tell wow
Torbjörn Nilsson was like Zlatan. Just a little little bit better
He was not better than Zlatan, stop smoking crack.
Finally some sensible person came to the showed other world best player exist.....or it was just Terry,Ferdinand,Lampard, Gerrard....bla bla bla bla
Great to see Nedved and Mancini getting some love!! Absolutely class players
People calling this guy a buffoon and idiot have no clue about football history. Don’t base his career on England (which weren’t that bad) look at his overall career and trophies. He’s one of the greats
For the record, he is picking this XI based on how they performed for him, not their Fifa rating....
This is England's best manager. Thank you for having him on your show. Its been a pleasure to see such a football pleb.
SERVANT OF THE WATCHFUL you idiot England are the bottlers they haven’t won a trophy since 1966. Sven won the Serie A with Lazio against world class Juventus & Milan teams. He also won the UEFA Super Cup, UEFA Cup Winners Cup & 2 Coppa Italia’s with Lazio as well as winning the UEFA Cup with Gothenburg. He was up against Capello, Lippi & Ancelotti who had much better teams. He also mentored Mancini & Simeone who have gone on to become good managers. You prefer Southgate who hasn’t won anything in his career he isn’t even as good Roberto Martinez who at least won the FA Cup with Wigan, what did Southgate do other than get relegated with Middlesbrough.
@@adamllana1443 but his a rubbish international manager, generally in football terms in Italy he was great I have to agree. Another than that, he is still a football pleb in 🏴
SERVANT OF THE WATCHFUL do you not think winning the UEFA Cup with Swedish team Gothenburg is a good a achievement?
SERVANT OF THE WATCHFUL do you consider Southgate a good international manager? Well I got news for you Roberto Martinez is better at both club & international.
Adam Llana Alf Ramsey won the World Cup in 1966, I prefer him. Your copy and paste bs won’t change that.
What a gentleman
I mean I’ve meet him several times and I’m from the same city or village kinda thing like him, he was a great coach and he is a great guy! I’ve played in Sven is cup (the cup he created in torsby Sweden) where I met him once I think you shouldn’t say he’s best team is bad...
Nedved left back?? And for Carra to question Baggio?? Fml, best player in the first half of the 90s by a mile..
Wasn't better than Romario
Hakeem Warsama yes he was lmao
@@sonofthetiber Don't get me wrong, he was an amazing player as a left winger. But it's travesty to play him as a left back, like England pushing Scholes to the left.
Nedved played left wing back as part of a dynamic Czech formation at Euro 96. People's thinking on this is far too regimented. Nedved could cover every blade of grass no matter what outfield position you put him in.
@@simonrose3009and still be best player on the pitch.. could have him Lb and Gerrard RB for people who don’t know football
