you can't have everything, I'll tell you one thing.......
And seeing Maradona, Zico, Pelé, or Gattuso
Unfortunately, the Maradonas and Zicos or Platinis or Pelés, that is the world-class players
fuel fantasies, dreams, interests because like Picasso or other artists, they shape trends, customs, habits
and above all, they bring entertainment.
Players like Gattuso or De Napoli are those that everyone has in a team because they have no appeal, and because they are just gritty.
Around the world-class players circulate a lot of money and interests, so even the transfer market when talking about them becomes a social phenomenon.

Sure, it's tougher to get the big players today, but we have to at least try... Because if you haven't understood yet, another precious piece has left: Kaká. And I wonder who will be playing soon, with Gattuso running the game instead of Kaká... The story about the taxes that Galliani talks about is all nonsense; it's clear that the presidents in Italy are blackmailing the state. Either you give us the conditions we ask for (the possibility of having ownership stakes, tax breaks, etc.), or we'll make the football spectacle worse and worse. How? Well, obviously by not buying anyone anymore... Aguero, Eto'o, Drogba, Essien, Gerrard, Mascherano, Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaká, Torres, they're the best in the world, and we can't see them play in our stadiums, what a shame... damn.

So you talked to me about Quagliarella, Lavezzi, and Cavani... Have you seen the 80s or come down from your high horse? Wake up, guys.
Atalanta: they had Stromberg, Evair, and Caniggia (runner-up in the world in '90).
Udinese: they had, and I say had, Zico, the greatest Brazilian player of the 80s; damn, Ronaldinho should just clean his shoes.
Napoli: Maradona and company, damn...
Milan with the Dutch, Inter with the German world champions, Juventus with Platini and Boniek between the mid-80s and the early 90s.
Roma before Falcao, and then Voeller.
Not to mention Sampdoria, Verona, and more.
In the 80s, everyone wanted Italy because we were rich and winning a lot.
Regarding today's game, have you seen how they play in Italy? All the matches are shit, the stadiums are getting emptier, and the big players you mentioned - who are they?
Ronald... the fat drunk, Pato who's 19 and just a promise, Totti and Del Piero who are old-timers... and who else for a laugh?
We're good at one thing in Italy: telling jokes. Oh right, Palermo has Cavani, but please.

Once upon a time in Italy, there were Maradona, Zico, Falcao, Platini, all in the same period. Let's look at the Italian defenders: Bergomi, Ferri, Wierchowod, Ferrara... Baresi, Maldini. Today we have Chiellini, Nesta injured to the nth degree, Cannavaro getting old... Midfielders: once, among Italians and foreigners, there were some greats like the two Dutchmen from Milan, the third was a pure forward, Ancelotti, Matthaus at Inter, and many others... We won’t even talk about the forwards. But why do you think Inter wins all these championships and then embarrasses itself in Europe? Because there are no more champions in Italy. Youth sectors have not produced a champion for years, with Milan since the Maldini era, at Juve if you say and think that Giovinco is a champion, I start laughing, and at Inter maybe Santon and Balotelli, but since Bergomi's time. Quality of defenders: today defenders defend zonally, they know how to do diagonals well, they probably have a good tactical sense, but when it comes to pure defending (that is, marking), very few know how to do it because man marking is no longer practiced.

clarification on ezekiel:
today it’s easier to defend because the quality is lacking...
In Italy, there are no qualitatively strong defenders...
Chiellini is not a phenomenon and like today’s defenders, he doesn't know how to defend...
Legrottaglie is a scandalous defender because three years ago at 28, he was still playing for Siena (actually, he wasn’t playing)... Santon is still to be discovered.
Our league, which once hosted champions, now hosts half-players...
We have no strikers, no midfielders, and no defenders...
We are really in a bad way.

Ferrara has made history with two great clubs, Napoli and Juve (the only team in the world to have faced charges for doping and sporting fraud)....... he won everything there was to win.....
he has been a great.

let's make a ranking......
as central defenders
Baresi, Scirea, and then I would say W. from Sampdoria, then there's a plethora of options for me, Ferrara follows these along with Bergomi.......and others......
Nesta and Cannavaro are not on this level, let's forget the Ballon d'Or of '06, Zidane would have deserved it if he hadn't made the mistake we all know.

Nesta and Cannavaro are inferior, much inferior, in Lippi's Napoli...
Ferrara led the defense, while Cannavaro was a great marker and that’s it in that defense.
Ferrara was part of the old school, good defensive ability and good control of the defense.

When it comes to central defenders, there are not many better. I can only think of Scirea or Baresi; I believe he is on the same level as Bergomi...

what do you think?
