O Fenomeno Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 2001 Hyppia was the best CB in England right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
O Fenomeno Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 Danny isn't WC Technically a superb footballer(best creative force Portugal have had since Rui Costa but criminally under used shifted to the wings ala Scholes) Injury prone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michel Kane Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 Stam/Hierro/Blanc/Kuffour were the stand out CB's at that time even though Blanc got raped by Crespo in the UEFA Cup final Maldini was still playing LB and would only play as a CB for the NT that's when Zoff adopted the three at the back for Euro 2000 Porchy illustrates my point perfectly here. When talking about standout defenders, there's a reason you HAVE to name 1-4 players because of the nature of their position. Different defensive units require different kinds of defenders so have to take that into account. For example, lol @ Vidic in a Barcelona team. Lol @ Pique (even though I'd think he'd fare a little better than we think) in the current United team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

O Fenomeno Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 Campbell was very good But for two years Ayala was so solid(2001 y 2002) Immense in Champions League(best defender) and in La Liga(best defender as well) He was badly missed in Korea/Japan He was carrying an injury hence why they crashed out of the group stages Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Infamous Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 when rafa was at valencia ayala was top 3 in the world carried them to a uefa cup win if i remember correctly along with Mista Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
O Fenomeno Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 Yeah it was Vicente scored as well Mista scored twice That was Drogba's breakthrough yeah in mainland Europe the way he deaded Liverpool/Newcastle It was a shame he went into the final unfit and it was too easy for Ayala to contain him Back to Cannavaro Kane is right when he said defensive units play a big part Because Cannavaro was a beast in a three but trash in a CB pairing Hence his best performances were at Parma/for Italy from 97-2000 He was found out badly in a two while at Inter/Real Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
