World Cup 98 quarter-final, France had Barthez, Thuram, Desailly, Blanc, Lizarazu. Italy had Pagliuca, Bergomi, Costacurta, Cannavaro, Maldini. They could play for a full month and still be 0-0.
@@lapulgamagic8386 your ‘truth’ is wrong. Beckenbauer won more and was more complete as a player. He could do anything that Maldini could do whilst also playing in midfield and was recognised as the second best player on the planet during his time (behind only cruyff).
The one that hit Messi at the start was nesta and the end screen dude is maldini both arguably greatest defenders Of all time and it’s crazy they were teammates
You should watch the double intervention by Cannavaro that was cut out of the video. It shows what a good defensive play can bring to a team. Also the guy who stopped Messi is Nesta. In that clip Messi is in his prime and Nesta is close to 40years old. Nesta is one of the best defenders ever and he purposely left towards take some space to then close them up. You should check out both Nesta and Maldini.
At 7:00 the small guy is Roberto Carlos. Small but normal. Behind him was Jan Koller, the tallest striker to play in the 2000's, a 2m02 monster, Czech national player
3:41 When the ball touches ur hand but ur hand is on the ground its not considered as handball or when defending and the ball touches ur hand but ur hand is like close to ur body and u're not making ur silhouette bigger to gain an advantage its not considered handball either
