@@정시치 Lmao, best team of Asia history means nothing. Asia has never accomplished anything in football. The best teams are worse than Europe's worst teams
Cannavaro for me is one of the best defenders of all time. His performance against Holland at euro 2000 was incredible. He literally shut down EVERY TOP PLAYER. Messi, r9, Henry, berkhamp, kluivert, Ronaldinho, zidane, sheva, torres, totti, del piero, inzaghi, amongst many more. His performances against Holland 2000, and Germany/France 2006 was the best performance I’ve seen from a defender.
shearer thought he could get the better of the then inexperienced cannavaro but failed to get the better of him despite cannavaro being shorter than him.If I remember correctly,italy won that match 1-0
@@migrantafrica Premier League is much harder. The Man City and Liverpool team right now might be the best teams of all time. And back in 2008, 2009 and 2011, did you see Man United? They were in the Champions League final all those years.
Pro Baller Serie a had the most ballon dor’s winners, more UEFA champions league winners than premier league had the 90s serie a is more advanced than premier league now lol, put maldini against salah and salah would literally be put down in baresi’s pocket and cannavaro tackles.
In france 98, one of the commentators, said the Italian has finally found a replacement for Franco Baresi. In 2006 in GERMANY, he was describe as Fabulous Fabio. And Garry Bloom in the semi final against Germany, said he is awesome. I am glad he won the world cup and balon dor.
In clubs and national teams, Cannavaro played against the greatest: Ronaldo & Ronaldinho, Messi, Shevchenko, Del Piero, Vieri, Inzaghi, Crespo, Batistuta, etc., and he stopped them all
He stop messi?lol Remember Madrid with cannavaro vs barca with messi 2-6? I think You need to watch the match highligts between madrid with cannavaro vs barca in youtube more.
Ricart Jhon Parhusip that was one game it happens he has stopped Messi at old age. Te Brazilian Ronaldo has beaten Maldini but maldini has also stopped him it’s the striker vs defender battle
Wonderful defender and one of the greatest defenders of all time. His wonderful defensive prowess, tackling, aerial ability, and pace make him deserve the Ballon d'Or. Italy was lucky enough to have Maldini, Cannavaro, and Nesta together in one team.
People always said he flopped at Madrid, but think about it. This guy played along side Ramos,Helguera and Carlos which was a hardest job at that time. Ramos wasn't yet a good defender, well...you know about Helguera and Carlos was more offensive defender. Fabio was the one who actually defend and just one season he arrived here he achieved 1 Laliga during one of the greatest Barcelona's era. This guy is one of the greatest defender of all time.
First Ramos never was good and still not good defender He is above average that’s all I’m Madrid fan but I’ll always would say puyol a whole another level than Ramos Second of all it’s jot because of Barca Playing in Spanish league that was more offensive and you score alotta of goal totally different than playing in the the Italian league very tactical with no spaces
I don't think he flopped, but at the same time he was surely declining and "cashing out" at Madrid. When at Parma and Juventus Cannavaro was insanely and good and a totally different player than at Madrid
In 1995 Parma team, I saw a young but short tenacious defender with superb marking and tackling abilites. He was a nobody back then and I thought to myself thinking he might be a great player one day. His defensive partner was just as good.
I always love cannavaro. Not a tall man, but technically sound. Never has any aggression against anyone on field. Just as smooth as a rolls royce. Loved his time at Realmadrid
What a player he was. Proper old fashioned defender that put his body on the line every time. None of this modern play out the back nonsense but can't actually defend
@Leonardo Russo Cannavaro was better than Baresi. I have seen many defensive lapses by Baresi, who struggled with the rule change of passing back to keepers. Numerous times Baresi literally forgot he couldn't. Was funny to see. Scored a tonne of own goals too. Cannavaro on a whole other level and it showed as he captained Italy to a World Cup and winning a Ballon Dor.
@@Masked_Official Then you don't know football my friend. Baresi Beckenbauer Nesta Scirea are all far better than Cannavaro. Just say you wanna be different from the others by having a controversial opinion
@@forestadamo4209 Why would I want to be controversial? It's just my opinion. Just because it doesn't match yours doesn't mean I don't know about football. Stop being weird and arrogant. You are just an armchair fan like the rest of us. No need to be rude.
@@Masked_Official Sorry if that offended you but my reaction is like the nicest you gon have by having such "opinion". I just think you don't know the difference between "I prefer Cannavaro other any other defender" and "Cannavaro is better". That's like saying Maguire is better than Ferdinand, it may be your opinion but it doesn't change the fact that it's false
@@forestadamo4209 It didn't offend me. It clearly offended you. I am not gonna get into a debate with you. I don't know you. Your opinion doesn't really matter to me. You don't hold any weight on me. I saw both players entire careers and I believe Cannavaro was better. If you think otherwise, great! I just don't go telling you that you know nothing about football or imply that I am better. The fact that you so strongly believe your opinion is the correct one is seriously worrying not because if its true or not or if I agree, it's in the manner you project your arrogance - that just doesn't bode well for anyone who discourses with you or crosses your path. People like that are just annoying. This conversation between us ends here. Have a good one.
Im Brazilian, but I think Cannavaro was a monster, he totally stopped ronaldo / Brazil in the world cup of 2006. One of the best defenders that ever existed, his race in the field was incredible. I mirror him enough in all my games!
Idiot! Getting carried away after watching this video. Brazil played France in 2006, Makelele and Vieira bossed the midfield that game. Watch some football before hysterically commenting on RU-vid videos, lol
italian defenders was something amazing )) baressi , maldini, nesta ,cannavaro ......... with crazy defensive skills )>) chielini and bonucchi even not near to this guys )) italian Calcio was incredible, absolutely best tournament in the world .....
Rare player, respect his opponent even thou come charging in. The difficult guy to go against, Ronaldo stares at him, direct handshake after fouling Roberto C. I remember grewing up only seeing him the only small centre back of any of this generations of giants, partnering the likes of Lillian Thuram. Imagine like having Michael Owen upfront, as Owen is nice, but this is the bad lad. If it ain't the ball, then nothing shall passes me, hahahahaha. With that handsome smile, as hot as Monica Belucci, even a prime minister can fall. Same class as Maldini and Zidane, Romario. Rare indeed
It would be a lot better if you explian specific player's technique like Piotr foot does in his videos Btw you are one of those few people who uploads video of old classy players instead of just messi & ronaldo, so thanks
Un difensore d'altri tempi. Uno che non aveva paura di sporcarsi i calzettoni e alle volte di sembrare anche "macellaio". Al giorno d'oggi me ne vengono in mente pochi che in Serie A giochino come lui: Chiellini della Juventus, forse (ma forse) Skriniar dell'Inter. Ma Gianluca Mancini, per quel che ha fatto vedere, mi fa ben sperare come possibile "successore spirituale"... vedremo
@@francescodestefano7757? Is better pyke than ramos? Hahah or hummrls or boateng or Puyol? Come on, ramos is the Best with Maldini baresi and cannavaro
@@ignaciogarciaperez5278 sorry, i thought you were referring to the fact that ramos is stronger than cannavaro or maldini, yes ramos is stronger than pique.
One of the greatest defenders of all time, only defender to win a balon dor and only surpassed by dani alves in amount of trophies won. It’s a bit weird how he’s rarely talked about in the media
Cannavaro was excellent defender for football of 20 years ago. I'm afraid that by today's standards he would be considered too rough and a lot of his contacts would be considered as fouls and earn him extra yellow cards. I am particularly convinced about that after that penalty kick for England against Nederlands at 2024 EURO semi-finals.
Now people here is the evidence when people say R9 was untouchable well it's not always the case because the amount of times he was stopped by cannavro is unbelievable. Please do not get me wrong r9 is probably the greatest striker ever but you to have remember defenders are there to stop counter attacks from strikers like Ronaldo which is a very difficult task, considering Ronaldo's electric pace , skills and power the Italian defender's know when to take him out of his stride by making artful tackles and challenges.
5:31 He was also going to Win a Seria A with Parma,but mafientus tentacles prevented this with the usual cheats.That goal not valitated from referee was emblematic.
The Paolo Rossi of Italian defenders. Perhaps a level below the VERY best (Maldini, Baresi, Sicrea, Nesta, Facchetti). But he peaked during a World Cup winning campaign, and those 7 games certified his legend in national folklore.
