INFO:

Silvio Marzolini is a former Argentine football player who played for Boca Juniors (1960-72).

A left back who starred for Argentina through the 1960s. He was really difficult to play against. He wasn’t that fast, but his positioning was so good he didn’t need to be. He was very impressive to everyone at the World Cup in England. He had such good control that it gave him time and space to play the ball away safely.

Marzolini could go forward too– was really comfortable on the ball.He is widely regarded as being one of the best left backs of all time, playing this position for the Argentine national team in the 1962 FIFA World Cup and the 1966 FIFA World Cup. He played a total of 28 games for Argentina


Playing career

He started in the young divisions of Ferro Carril Oeste, and debuted in first division in 1959. Only a year later he moved to Boca Juniors, with who he won 5 league titles. He played a total of 407 games in all competitions for Boca, putting him 3rd on their all time appearance list.

where do you see videos of him?

If you ask me, the "classic" SBs for argentina are Zanetti and Marzolini

[thefourhorsemen]

in world coup `66 he was elcted as the best left side back of the tournament by the press, real madrid and milan search him, but he don`t leave boca juniors, so i think his stats should be updated, and there who saw play marzolini say that he was better that zanetti......

[HFClub]

From what my argentinian relatives tell me, this player had a substancially large step while running, thus his not so fast leg movements didn't take him much speed. I think he deserves TS-83 and Acc-79/80.
Also his curling was not top notch, but maybe 80 would be more truthful.

He owned a body extraordinare

I got two others sources saying his height is 183 cm:

[Brezza]

183 looks closer to the truth, he looked nowhere near as tall as Rattin.

[Fevernova]

he looks sooo skinny for that height-weight ratio...

[nianka97]

Today, in fox sports argentina a host said marzolini was the best left side back in argentine history being a right footed.

[Brunus]

Height: 1.88.

Look at the photos of the team's Boca 60s.

Marzolini had almost the same height Rattin.
