A key part of making it look effortless is helped by fact he nearly always played on teams that dominated possession which meant he was nearly always facing forward…
True but by saying that I think you’re saying that anyone could have done it
Not at all. He was very good but its defo a factor.
It’s a pity he’s such a horrible bastard.
He’s the most overrated underrated player in that period too.

Sensini-?-?-Bogasian at a guess-Buffon
Zola-?-Apollino-Dino Baggio at a guess-Thuram-Cannavaro
Fella beside Zola is very similar looking to Christian Vieiri but don’t recall him ever playing for Parma
I dont have the full team list, but is the fella beside Zola not Hristo?

Yes, it is. have no recollection of him playing for Parma
Actually I think that is Asprilla and not Thuram
It was 95/6, he went to Barca at the end of the season.
This is the squad list from that season. Incredible. Heady days of Serie A. They finished 6th.
It is yes.
Bennarivo and a young Fernando Couto in the middle of the back row now that i have names to go with the faces
That squad though
Bucci
Buffon
Couto
Sensini
Cannavaro
Dino Baggio
Zola
Stoichov
Mussi
Beniglione
Asprilla
Brolin
Pippo Inzaghi
Mother of God the training sessions must have been something else.

Crespo and Thuram arrived there after that time too. I’ve heard they won a couple of cup competitions but why did they not perform better in Serie A/Champions League?
The Champions league was actually for champions at that time
Man united would be the only English team to win the champions league in the past 30 years or so if they kept it to that format.

The 99’ team wouldn’t have won it then though.
In the mid to late 90’s? Runners up and 3rd place were entering by that stage. Remember reading somewhere that Fiorentina knocked Arsenal out of the Champions League in 98/99.
Lets keep this discussion to great footballing teams and club sides please.
