totti is the second highest goal scorer in Serie a but he wasn't a striker ! he was CAM!! a true # 10. last time I checked in 2006 totti was wearing the #10 cuz he was the best pass and attacker on the field.
Esattamente loro 4. Però diventa una top 14, perché non si può togliere nessuno della prima lista 🤣 forse Rivera, Zoff e Del Piero li abbasserei un po’
@@RussingtonS4678 gentile??haha he was a leg breaker ,cannot evn be kept in the same class of baresi,maldini,nesta,bergomi,screa,veirchowod,fachetti,ceasre maldini cannavaro etc....
@@netaji-thebritishslayer No. In 94 Italy had an average team, Baggio was their key player pushing them all the way to the final. But ppl only remember his missed penalty and nothing else.
I can't really argue against any of those players in the Top 10. Mazzola (maybe even both of them), Rossi, Scirea and Totti deserve to be mentioned though, especially Sandro Mazzola.
What is really amazing that these guys have this talent in the sixties, while somewhere else people do not have countries or even a soccer field . These guys were competing in the World Cup
I'm 65 and I've seen a lot of great players. I can say Gaetano Scirea is certainly missing from this list. As a "libero" he received only one yellow card in his entire career, never a red one - he simply did not need to commit a foul to stop the opponent. World Champion in 1982.
I've been a Serie A fan since '91 when Baggio was at Juve; I followed him from the U.S. WC back to Italy and that's how I became a fan, LOL. I've also studied older players. I have no issue with this top 10.
Sorry but Roberto Baggio is the greatest and most talented Italian player of all time. In World Cup 94, Maldini was definitely highly rated but to be Frank EVERYONE was looking at Roberto Baggio. Everyone was talking about Baggio or Romario and that’s it. These are the worlds greatest Footballers at that time and Baggio for me, way ahead of Maldini in terms of talent and Maldini is an all time great as well. That tells you how high the bar is set for Roberto Baggio. He’s the best Italian player bar none. Romario at least had strike partner Bebeto who was also almost as amazing as Romario. Baggio was alone, in his own lofty ability to carry Italy on his own in the attacking department and that speaks volumes that he could get Italy so far
yeah I lost my shit when the skipped over totti!! this dude who made this video is the biggest JUV FAN!!! soo sad! if totti would have left for Real M. he would still be the highest transfer ever in Italian football. He would have gone for 100 + mill then add that with today money!!! u could be looking at 180-220 Mil for a player like totti now of days!!!
Silvio Piola has to be in the list, and in a very high position. N. 1 Serie A striker, World cup and Olympic games winner. A legend, time does not cancel greatness.
2 of the top 3, Del Piero and Baggio, both had to reinvent their game very early in their professional careers because of injury. Got to wonder what might have been if they didn't have to make these adjustments. Credit to them that they were still great players anyway
@latentconcert5626 or mid-late 90s... Del Piero was so good as an emerging young player, that Juventus sold Ballon d'Or holding Baggio to give Del Piero his spot.
Del Piero after 1998 is not even on the level of Di Natale, not to mention the likes of Baggio, Totti, Zola, Mancini, Antognoni, S.Mazzola, V.Mazzola, Rivera, Meazza, and even Baloncieri going back to the 20s. All stronger players than him. And I'm leaving out wingers/fantasistas like Conti, Causio, Corso, Donadoni but that's the position in which Del Piero played the most after all, together with second striker position
@carlosimotti3933 Del Piero wasn't the highest scoring striker ever, although he is Juventus' top scorer. He was more the creator or link play forward while Trezeguet or Ibrahimović were target man. Del Piero was a class act! Since this is fantasy we're to imagine having each player at their peak, or even combination of various roles or styles they adopted over their career. Not whine about what they were like after they'd lost their peak - which all players will eventually
Maldini is a legend because of his longevity and the prizes he won, but in all earnest, he doesn't even come close the magic of Baggio. It is not even close.
Maldini realistically is No.1. Just because he's a defender and not a attacker people tend to disrespect him. Like they usually do with defenders and goalkeepers.
Hard to argue against any of the players you listed. Personally, my top 5 would be Baggio, Pirlo, Maldini, Riva and Buffon, in that order. I would also add an eleventh great Italian player, Sandro Mazzola. He was sensational.
It's tough to have to exclude Cannavaro, Paolo Rossi and Totti, but I have to agree with this list. I feel bad, but narrowed to 10 this list is correct.
Thought about picking my top 5, top ten is hard enough, players not mentioned Cannavaro was immense at times, also Costacurta, and Nesta were quality 🇮🇪🍀 🇮🇹
Ill give you more than 10. Baloncieri, Combi, Monzeglio, Allemandi, Ferrari, Libonatti, Monti, Orsi, Guaita (last 4 players were Argentinians, however they played for Italy), Meazza, Schiavio, Piola, Rava, Foni, Collaussi, Olivieri, Andreolo (he was from Uruguay, but he played for Italy), Ferraris, V. Mazzola, Boniperti, Carapallese, Amadei, Borel, Montouri, C. Maldini, Trapattoni, Bulgarelli, Domenghini, Rivera, Facchetti, S. Mazzola, Riva, Burgnich, Albertosi, Corso, Boninsegna, Prati, Anastasi, Chinaglia, Zoff, Capello, Causio, Bettega, Gentile, Scirea, Cabrini, Collovati, Antognoni, Conti, Graziani, P. Rossi, Tardelli, Altobelli, Bergomi, Pruzzo, Bordon, Vierchowood, Tacconi, Galli, F. Baresi, Costacurta, De Napoli, Carnevale, Giordano, Francini, Massaro, Zenga, Vialli, Pagliuca, Mancini, Ancelotti, Donadoni, Giannini, P. Maldini, Schillaci, R. Baggio, Evani, Signori, Zola, Albertini, D. Baggio, Ferrara, Lentini, E. Chiesa, Toricelli, Simone, Tasotti, Toldo, Casiraghi, Ravanelli, Conte, Di Biagio, Di Livio, Vieri, Del Piero, Peruzzi, Panucci, Materazzi, F. Cannavaro, Nesta, Buffon, Zambrotta, Totti, Pirlo, De Rossi, Gattuso, F. Inzaghi, Tomassi, Toni, Cassano, G. Rossi, Barzagli, Chiellini, Camoranesi, Bonucci, Di Natale, Quagliarella, Balotelli, Immobile, Insigne, Jorginho, Donnarumma, Veratti, Barella, F. Chiesa... It's over 120 players and I'm sure that I missed some of them... There were also Sivori, Schiaffino, Altafini and more players from other countries who played for Italy, however they played for Argentina, Uruguay and Brazil before they stared playing for Italy. Same as Monti and Libonatti in 20s and 30s of previous century...
It's a great comment with a vast knowledge of the history of the game. But as I replied to you under another video you can't include Orsi, nor Montuori, etc , ESPECIALLY if you decide to exclude Sivori, Schiaffino and Altafini, because the situation of all these players was the same. Actually for example Orsi was more successful in his national team than Sivori (he left it still very young). Indeed Orsi was the best player for Argentina in the Olympics in 1928. So it's best not to include players who became Italian later in life. Otherwise Di Stefano, Puskas and Kubala should be among the best Spanish players ever, because they acquired the Spanish citizenship. Btw fun fact: Di Stefano could have become Italian in the same vein of Schiaffino if he had played in the Italian league (they were more or less the same age and they both had Italian ancestors)
@@davidemaglio5745 Thank you. I can exclude Orsi from this list, it's not any problem. However, I think that Orsi won much more than Montuori in his carrier. Orsi was not important player for Argentina in Olympic Games 1928 and Copa America 1927, he was just part of the team. Anyway, yes, I will remove Orsi fromItaly players list and I'll put his name in Argentina best players list.
@@mikoajdariuszmackowiak2141 Orsi was awarded as the competition's best player at the 1928 olympics dude. He would be known as "the Amsterdam arrow" from then on
It's an impossible list because of how many legends Italy has had in football, but to put in Pirlo and Del Piero while leaving Totti out is insane! 🤦🏻♂️
@@majesty1842 of course because they played in teams stacked with others great players. Totti almost his entire career was alone carrying AS Roma... you value the players not the accolades of teams, and Totti is better than both Pirlo and Del Piero.
Must include Francesco Totti (one of the most talented ever), Salvatore Schillaci (Golden Boot Winner at the 1990 World Cup), Bruno Conti (1982 World Cup Team).
Schillaci? LOL. He doesn't even belong to a top 100. Besides that World Cup, he had one good (not great) season and that's it. And most of his goals were tap-ins. Not a great player at all, he just had a very brief period when everything was going right for him. Similar to Piatek in AC Milan.
My Italy Dream Team ever: Buffon - Facchetti, F. Cannavaro, F. Baresi, P. Maldini - Pirlo, Rivera - Meazza, R. Baggio, Del Piero - P. Rossi. 2nd: Zoff - Gentile, Scirea, Bergomi, Cabrini - Totti, De Rossi, S. Mazzola,V. Mazzola - Riva, Piola. 3rd goalkeeper Zenga, and it's 23 players Italy best squad of all times.
@@Pro-qu8ko Oh yes, you're right. It's only 23 players squad, so there was no place. However, theye were very good players, especially Benetti. Anyway, Ithink that players in my Italy Dream Team were better and they have more achievements.
I agree with your team in general. I was never a massive fan of Zenga because outside of a couple of years in the late 80's he wasn't better than Pagliuca, Toldo, Combi, Albertosi etc. De Rossi over Tardelli/Benetti/Bulgarelli is a no for me. He had a great career but his quality is slightly less. I see him and Bagni as similar quality players but de rossi more celebrated. Mario Bertini? Conti, Causio, Donadoni? Bulgarelli was the star of the italian natonal team and most influential player in the 60's. He must be in. Rossi wasn't a great player at all, he had a great tournament. Altobelli, Bettega, Anastasi were vastly better players. I suppose if we are talking Legacy, you have a point. Overall one of the better teams i've seen.
@@Pro-qu8ko I think you are probably Italian, so I believe that your knowledge about players from Italy is bigger than my, that's why I respect your point. However, I think Paolo Rossi (RIP) was pretty good until 1980, after that he was great in Spain'82 and I'm pretty sure that Italy would not win World Cup without Rossis goals. Also he was very good in Argentina'78, he was 1982/1983 European Cup best scorer. In general, I agree that Rossi was not on greatest players of all times level, but he was Balon d'Or winner and by the way he made me crying in WC'82 semifinals vs Poland. Talking about Zenga - yes, he was good at the end of 80s and he had great defenders, really great defenders. You can put in his place any of goalkeepers you remind me. Same about De Rossi/Tardelli. After all you can see that my Dream Team is either offensive and that's why I have not found place for some midfielders...
@@mikoajdariuszmackowiak2141 yes, Rossi, like Giordano was good in 78-80 before suspension but imo you take away his 3 games in 82, he is nowhere in this discussion. Greatest and best are two different categories IMO. for example, mario corso, Beppe Signori, beppe savoldi, claudio sala, chiesa, montella, etc were very good players but didn't achieve what much lesser players did ( in quality) like inzaghi and rossi. tbh, as much as i dont like inzaghi the player, he had a better career than rossi and was a similar style player
You can almost make a top 10 for line Top 10 defenders: Buffon Zoff Baresi Maldini Scirea Picchi Vierchowod Nesta Cannavaro Facchetti Chiellini Bergomi Midfielders Pirlo Antognoni Domenghini Valentino Mazzola Ancelotti Gattuso (top 3 in his role during his era) Albertini De Rossi Tardelli Rivera Attackers/10s Baggio Meazza Conti Riva Rossi Mancini Del Piero Totti Toni Vialli
Your list is fine (There is no argument with the top 2 choices), however, a few HUGE names are missing such as Sandro Mazzolla, Marco Tardelli, Paolo Rossi, Roberto Bettegga, Gaetano Scirea, Giacinto Facchetti, Angelo Domenghini, and Roberto Boninsegna. Sandro Mazzolla in the 1960s and 1970s was on par only with Gianni Rivera and was truly a World Class Player.
Definitely Baggio no 1 for me , Italian90 was one of , if not the best world cups ever and Italy were great to watch especially Baggio , very unlucky not to get to final ,love Maldini aswell , and thought Cannavaro( dodgy spelling???) would be in the ten ,
Great stuff; didn't do the latest is greatest 👍🏾👍🏾 One issue==> maldini is never a better defender than baresi. When baresi was playing he was Italy and Milan's outstanding defender (many occasions when maldini was on same pitch). 🙂🙂
All the names on the list deserve to be there, but it's hard to narrow them down to ten... I feel players like Silvio Piola, Valentino Mazzola, Scirea, Totti (and also Sivori who was born in Argentina but played also for the italian national team as an "oriundo") and probably a few others I can't recall at the moment should be in there.
A top 10 list is bound to be unfair. By the way, the number 1 player voted by Italian pundits and leading sport broadsheets like the Gazzetta dello Sport was Luigi Riva, in more than one occasion. European champion '68, runner up World Cup '70. 35 goals in 42 matches for Italy, that means an average of 5 goals each 6 games, which only the very best strikers in the world, of all time, have achieved. Anyway, each spot should have at least 4 or 5 players as joint 2nd, joint 3rd and so on to be much fairer.
I’m no expert, but I happen to know Paolo Rossi and Christian Vieri each scored nine World Cup goals. So shouldn’t they be on this list somewhere? Rossi, Vieri, and R. Baggio are in a three-way tie for Italy’s best ever in that category, as no Italian player ever accrued double-digit World Cup goals to their name. Now, “Career World Cup Goals” is obviously not the most foolproof of statistics (it’s sort of like “Number of Super Bowls Won”, for American football 🏈 players), but I would think the players with the most *ever* would probably have to land in the Top 10……. right?
Facchetti was 3 in the 60s, so was Baresi in the late 80s or early 90s, german Schnellinger was 3rd in the early 60s as well. Beckenbauer was a defensive/central midfielder, it's a fairytale him being a libero
For a channel is normal to nkt include francesco totti but i wanna say, as italian from rome (where totti play all his carreer) that he was incredible, at least at he same level of alexander del piero, he was physically strong, not so slow as lots of people think, very skilled and a great leader, i think baggio was a little better and maldini is just the perfect defender, but i will say that add totti as 3rd/4rth and delete the last player in the list is the right choice
I was a kid in 80's but almost every Italy games I saw Alessandro Altobelli was their best player. But I dont know who are the 10best Italians anyway. Many have claimed here that Totti should be in over Pirlo, I dont see it that way. Baresi was most talked defender at 80'-90's but all this comes from Finland perspective and my memories. But still I'm football couch for kids nowdays... bye
Gianni Rivera, Gigi Meroni, Totti, Baggio, Gigi Riva, Enrico Alberosi. e a detta di chi li ha visti giocare, Beppe Meazza, Valentino Mazzola. Bagigalupo.
Demasiados porteros y defensas para una lista de diez. Realmente Paolo Rossi y Baggio podrían haber sido los mejores, pero a ninguno de los dos le interesaba el fútbol.

¡Gran explicación sobre el análisis de correlaciones entre activos! Ahora lo aplico en mis decisiones.🍒
Totti should be at least in top 5

In World Cup 94, Maldini was definitely highly rated but to be Frank EVERYONE was looking at Roberto Baggio. Everyone was talking about Baggio or Romario and that’s it. These are the worlds greatest
Footballers at that time and Baggio for me, way ahead of Maldini in terms of talent and Maldini is an all time great as well.

He had a great career but his quality is slightly less. I see him and Bagni as similar quality players but de rossi more celebrated. Mario Bertini? Conti, Causio, Donadoni? Bulgarelli was the star of the italian natonal team and most influential player in the 60's. He must be in. Rossi wasn't a great player at all, he had a great tournament. Altobelli, Bettega, Anastasi were vastly better players. I suppose if we are talking Legacy, you have a point. Overall one of the better teams i've seen.
@@Pro-qu8ko I think you are probably Italian, so I believe that your knowledge about players from Italy is bigger than my, that's why I respect your point. However, I think Paolo Rossi (RIP) was pretty good until 1980, after that he was great in Spain'82 and I'm pretty sure that Italy would not win World Cup without Rossis goals. Also he was very good in Argentina'78, he was 1982/1983 European Cup best scorer. In general, I agree that Rossi was not on greatest players of all times level, but he was Balon d'Or winner and by the way he made me crying in WC'82 semifinals vs Poland. Talking about Zenga - yes, he was good at the end of 80s and he had great defenders, really great defenders. You can put in his place any of goalkeepers you remind me. Same about De Rossi/Tardelli. After all you can see that my Dream Team is either offensive and that's why I have not found place for some midfielders...
@@mikoajdariuszmackowiak2141 yes, Rossi, like Giordano was good in 78-80 before suspension but imo you take away his 3 games in 82, he is nowhere in this discussion. Greatest and best are two different categories IMO. for example, mario corso, Beppe Signori, beppe savoldi, claudio sala, chiesa, montella, etc were very good players but didn't achieve what much lesser players did ( in quality) like inzaghi and rossi. tbh, as much as i dont like inzaghi the player, he had a better career than rossi and was a similar style player
Very hard job to do such a list, i think it was pretty well handled. Bu so many other names could have been there….
Meazza is N. 1 Italian and the best pre wwii player in the world.
Francesco Totti
Players I've seen play:
1-R.Baggio
2-Maldini
3-Del Piero
4-Totti
5-Baresi
6-Buffon
7-Pirlo
8-Nesta
9-Cannavaro
10-Vieri
You can almost make a top 10 for line
Top 10 defenders:
Buffon
Zoff
Baresi
Maldini
Scirea
Picchi
Vierchowod
Nesta
Cannavaro
Facchetti
Chiellini
Bergomi
Midfielders
Pirlo
Antognoni
Domenghini
Valentino Mazzola
Ancelotti
Gattuso (top 3 in his role during his era)
Albertini
De Rossi
Tardelli
Rivera
Attackers/10s
Baggio
Meazza
Conti
Riva
Rossi
Mancini
Del Piero
Totti
Toni
Vialli
Baggio goat standing death man 😢😢
Your list is fine (There is no argument with the top 2 choices), however, a few HUGE names are missing such as Sandro Mazzolla, Marco Tardelli, Paolo Rossi, Roberto Bettegga, Gaetano Scirea, Giacinto Facchetti, Angelo Domenghini, and Roberto Boninsegna.
Sandro Mazzolla in the 1960s and 1970s was on par only with Gianni Rivera and was truly a World Class Player.
1 Rivera
2 Riva
3 Baggio
4 Baresi
5 Maldini
6 Mazzola
7 Del Piero
8 Totti
9 Zoff
10 Chinaglia,Prati,Nesta, Scirea, etc.etc.
What do u think of gianluca paliucca goal keeper if i said his name right
I’d agree with that list
Definitely Baggio no 1 for me , Italian90 was one of , if not the best world cups ever and Italy were great to watch especially Baggio , very unlucky not to get to final ,love Maldini aswell , and thought Cannavaro( dodgy spelling???) would be in the ten ,
Baggio for Number 1, where are Giuseppe Signori and Totti or was that only a dream of mine.😂
Great stuff; didn't do the latest is greatest 👍🏾👍🏾
One issue==> maldini is never a better defender than baresi. When baresi was playing he was Italy and Milan's outstanding defender (many occasions when maldini was on same pitch).
🙂🙂
E stupendo ha vedere sto video
Gaetano Shirea and Nesta should be at list.
Donadoni was a great midfielder
Bruno Conti,Boninsegna,Sandro Mazzola,Domenghini,Bergomi
All the names on the list deserve to be there, but it's hard to narrow them down to ten... I feel players like Silvio Piola, Valentino Mazzola, Scirea, Totti (and also Sivori who was born in Argentina but played also for the italian national team as an "oriundo") and probably a few others I can't recall at the moment should be in there.
Molto ben fatto
A top 10 list is bound to be unfair. By the way, the number 1 player voted by Italian pundits and leading sport broadsheets like the Gazzetta dello Sport was Luigi Riva, in more than one occasion. European champion '68, runner up World Cup '70. 35 goals in 42 matches for Italy, that means an average of 5 goals each 6 games, which only the very best strikers in the world, of all time, have achieved. Anyway, each spot should have at least 4 or 5 players as joint 2nd, joint 3rd and so on to be much fairer.
Pippo Inzaghi!
1. Maldini, 2. Baresi, 3. Rivera, 4. Baggio, 5. Buffon, 6. Zoff, 7. Pirlo, 8. Totti, 9. Del Piero, 10. Scirea
Zola should be in the list
Argentinians are also ethnically Italians, mostly.
Dino Zoff probably influenced more games than anyone else on the list
Maldini is number one. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Salvatore schillaci 🤌
I’m no expert, but I happen to know Paolo Rossi and Christian Vieri each scored nine World Cup goals. So shouldn’t they be on this list somewhere? Rossi, Vieri, and R. Baggio are in a three-way tie for Italy’s best ever in that category, as no Italian player ever accrued double-digit World Cup goals to their name.
Now, “Career World Cup Goals” is obviously not the most foolproof of statistics (it’s sort of like “Number of Super Bowls Won”, for American football 🏈 players), but I would think the players with the most *ever* would probably have to land in the Top 10……. right?
Totti, Schillaci, Cannavaro, Zola, Rossi? I don't rate Baggio as highly as number 2 either
I dont know why Baggio is rated so high
Biggest name missing: Paolo Rossi
Hi there I who's weiting number 1 totti my bad keep going 🙏🥰 amazing Chanel u got
Pearlo, Cannavaro, Buffon, Totti
Maldini first ever defender to be shortlisted for the Ballon d'Or...
Beckenbauer received the award twice
Facchetti was 3 in the 60s, so was Baresi in the late 80s or early 90s, german Schnellinger was 3rd in the early 60s as well. Beckenbauer was a defensive/central midfielder, it's a fairytale him being a libero
For a channel is normal to nkt include francesco totti but i wanna say, as italian from rome (where totti play all his carreer) that he was incredible, at least at he same level of alexander del piero, he was physically strong, not so slow as lots of people think, very skilled and a great leader, i think baggio was a little better and maldini is just the perfect defender, but i will say that add totti as 3rd/4rth and delete the last player in the list is the right choice
I would delete del piero for totti
@@LIMON5390 Del Piero is the Best
Carino
Cannavaro definitely
Nesta shouldve made the cut.
No arguments with the top 4 especially…you could shuffle that around a little and most would still agree
Toooootttttttttttttttiiiiiiiiiiiiii! Also Cannavaro & Rossi.
Blasphemy, Roberto Baggio is not #1
No mention of Totti?
You know nothing of Italian Football.
Pretty accurate but you cannot put Del
Piero and Pirlo without Totti. He was at least their same level, probably even stronger.
i only knew 1 of them but he happend to be number one
Shouldn’t Meazza be higher? He isthe maybe only Italian player who, at least for a few years, was considered the world’s best.
Ronaldo and Messi shood watch some videos of Roberto Baggio than that understand what class is
Robbi Baggio is my favorite of all time
I was a kid in 80's but almost every Italy games I saw Alessandro Altobelli was their best player. But I dont know who are the 10best Italians anyway. Many have claimed here that Totti should be in over Pirlo, I dont see it that way. Baresi was most talked defender at 80'-90's but all this comes from Finland perspective and my memories. But still I'm football couch for kids nowdays... bye
Gennaro "Sometimes Maybe Good, Sometimes Maybe Shit" Gattuso 🇮🇹
Gianni Rivera, Gigi Meroni, Totti, Baggio, Gigi Riva, Enrico Alberosi. e a detta di chi li ha visti giocare, Beppe Meazza, Valentino Mazzola. Bagigalupo.
Scillachi at number 1
Baggio and Buffon are my favs but the best should be Baressi
Demasiados porteros y defensas para una lista de diez. Realmente Paolo Rossi y Baggio podrían haber sido los mejores, pero a ninguno de los dos le interesaba el fútbol.
