Man the Italians are the best when it comes to defending there’s no doubt, I miss the international team at the World Cup they were so much fun to watch hopefully they make a comeback and have a powerhouse of a team again.
If you are running towards the italian goalkeeper and see Nesta, Cannavaro and Maldini in front of them, then you know exactly that it was never an option to score a goal.
The best defender I have seen in last 40 years is Franco Baresi and very close second is Paulo Maldini... Nesta, Cannavaro, Ayala, Costacurta, Stam etc were all great...
He wasn't very offensive but at Paris, he always played with a proper cdm behind him like Matuidi for example and his speciality was his ball conservation and passing wich are main attributes of central midfielders.
@@julian-eu3xh for national team he plays more defensive with vitinha proper center bro , not arguing bro I was just telling heis also great with ball winning tackles
@@sheejashibu9069 I think Buffon, Neuer and Casillas are are all goat debate GKs. I personally favor Neuer but I wouldn’t disagree if anyone said otherwise.
Wow! Awesome video! The Italians have been the best defenders in the world! My four favorite defenders, of course, they played for AC Milan and Juventus: Maldini, Nesta, Cannivaro and Chellini! These defenders were legendary. The Italian defense helped Italy in being a world soccer power. Italian football needs to go back to its great roots of great, legendary defending to be a world soccer power again.
All of them, or almost all, great defenders. However, to me, Nesta sits above the rest. Not only because of his positioning, anticipation, tackling or general reading of the game. But because he was knocked down so many times through injuries and he still found it in him to come back every single time
The best and elegant defender of all time it’s Paolo Maldini…I will say after Maldini the best defender it’s Nesta so a duo with those two it’s an beatable… Then I bieleve third on that list is Canavaro… Then all the others…

everyone after baresi , watching him defend is like is pure satisfication . interception , slide tackle , goal clearence . bro was called sweeper for no reason
The best defenders of Italy has been from the team of work Cup 1982. All of them were a real warriors on the pitch : Baresi, Bergomi, Cabrini, Scirea, vierchowod, Gentile, Collobati.
7:02 That slide tackle by Nesta on Wiltord at Euro2000 final is the best one ever. Simply masterclass. Nesta, Cananavaro and Maldini are my favorite all time defenders (along with Lillian Thuram - the only non-Italian).
When you think about it - Scirea, Baresi, Maldini, Cannavaro, Nesta and Chiellini were considered best central defenders in the Worild at their peak time.
Franz Beckenbauer is on a different stratosphere altogether, because he was more than just a defender. But purely as a defender Maldini and Baresi are up there. Even Passarella and Scirea.

These videos are relatively new from the last 20 years, but Italy has been strong defensively all its life, the famous "catenaccio" has always existed since the beginning of football. 🇮🇹❤️🇮🇹
Superb defending. No other country defenders do this better. Absolutely insane. World Cup 2006 was when they put up their best form for the world to see.
Sono milanista e in passata abbiamo avuto difensori davvero insuperabili. Per me i migliori in assoluto sono stato Maldini Nesta e Thiago Silva. Subito dopo Stam. Se avessi potuto scegliere altri dufensori da mettere nella mia squadra avrei inserito Puyol. Un giocatore assolutamente al livello di quelli che ho già scritto. Mi piaceva molto anche a livello umano. Era la guida del Barcellona, un grande uomo prima che giocatore

Italian Serie A built one of the best midfielder on planet Earth right now, Paul Pogba of France. He never played in professional French Ligue 1, proven won the FIFA World Cup as the France national football team captain.
As italian, I can guarantee you that era is unfortunately over ... a corrupted federation destroyed Juve and italian football to make favour to traitors. We lost the spirit, before than technical skills About historical defense performances, I suggest everybody to go to see two matches in particular: Brazil-Italy 1994 WC final Holland-Italy Euro 2000 semifinal in Holland two 0-0 ended at the penalties lottery, two matches with the other side attacking 120 minutes, with great strikers, and a continuous and relentless performance from italian defender
As a die hard Juventus fan on America, I am sickened to hear this. I used to albe able to watch Serie A regularly 10 years ago; however, I haven't be able to watch Serie A anymore. What is sad is to see Italy not dominate in the World Cup anymore. Also, the great technical play and skills seem to be lacking with the Italian players. I was so fortunate to see Italy play on several world cups, winning two.
Es por eso que Italia tiene 4 mundiales ganados,para el tano,defender es un arte..solo así se entiende que ahora Italia carece de esos excelsos defensores y por eso ya no es esa selección que todos temían enfrentarse porque era difícil ganarle a la Azurri cuando tenían a los mejores defensores del mundo.
old school defenders, are the besTs! nesta, maldini, canavaro, puyol, samuel, lucio, tery, ferdinand, stam, bergomi, thuram, desai, campbell, and more...
1990's Italian league was the best thing in history of football. Best defenders (Maldini, Nesta, Cannavaro, Montero, Thuram, Cafu...) against best attackers in the world (Shevchenko, Crespo, Vieri, Inzaghi, Batistuta...)
وقتی اون شور، تعصب و غیرتشون تو دفاع رو میبینی، واقعاً قلب آدم به تپش میافته. این بازیکنا طوری دفاع میکردن که انگار دارن از چیزی خیلی باارزشتر از یه بازی فوتبال محافظت میکنن؛ از غرور، از هویت تیمشون. این که خودشونو جلوی توپ پرت میکردن، با آخرین نفس میجنگیدن تا گل نخورن، واقعاً الهامبخش بود. اینا فقط فوتبال نبود، یه جور جنگیدن برای هدفی بود که بهش ایمان داشتن. When you see their passion, determination, and pride in defending, it truly makes your heart race. These players defended as if they were protecting something far more valuable than just a football match-something like their pride, their team’s identity. Throwing themselves in front of the ball, fighting with every last breath to prevent a goal, was truly inspiring. This wasn’t just football; it was a battle for a cause they deeply believed in.
The only player that seemed to get the better of these Italian defenders was - Ronaldo Nazarhio (R9) (Brazil). He played in this era - (the 1990s) for Inter Milian. No one could believe it. But he did succeed against these types of Defeneders and became known as the "PHENOMENON*. I would like to see Messi (Argentina) and Christiano Ronaldo (Portugal) do what Ronaldo Nazarhio (R9) (Brazil) did against this type of Defending.

not many have i seen as observant as you
Franco Baresi in World Final 1994 has been the best defendet all time
sadly every single tackle if done now will be awarded against with a card even if it was extraordinarily great.
Yeah slide tackling is a thing of the past 😢, I can't remember the last time I seen one.
the easiest job in italy, being the national team's goalkeeper
Although my favourite is Maldini, but there was something different about Baresi , man had the awareness and vision of a midfielder 🤌
