scarface2025 um, do u not remember when Messi made both Cannavaro and Roberto Carlos fall over at the age of 18 in the El Clasico? I maybe a Messi fanboy, but I’m not making this shit up...
EsophagusEater67 rly? Messi destroyed the likes of Cannavaro, Carlos, Pepe... etc. Every defense had a hard time stopping Messi. It would be hard for him to get past them but I’d say it would be also hard to stop him, he is, of course, the greatest dribbler.
Love this guy even if he is not the tallest player on the pitch still wouldn't lose any 50-50 challenges and lost his composure. A real inspiration for every modern day defenders.
Yeah. When I was playing at a high enough level as a center back, I became very aware of my height (1.78) and how it affected me and the team, being the shortest centerback in the squad. However I began watching videos of cannavero before every match and remembered that it's possible to win headers over 1.85 guys and that putting my heart and everything there is into the duel and full match, I would be invincible that match as Cannavaro was. Well it bares mentioning that is also helped the anxiety I felt before every match. On an ending note, I sincerely hope that alot of young defenders find inspiration in defenders like Cannavaro, Puyol, Maldini and the likes, because they always went Into every duel as if it were the last.
A true Napolitan gem is what he is. I remember being a kid when Italy won the cup in 06 and this guy played a huge part of it. I'm from Cuba, so in Havana I was amazed to see so many not only Italian fans, but many Italian nationals who were settled here going wild in the streets with caravans and chanting and full out pure joy.
Paolo Maldini, Fabio Canavarro and Alessandro Nesta are the three Greatest Defenders I have ever seen in Football. These 3 made defending an art form without making it ugly.
5'9 is average height but considered as small I. Football terms, but look at him destroys every height and wins ballondor as one of the shortest CBS in Europe 😂
Man, funny how people say bad things about Materazzi becauqe of stupid Zidane, the guy was elected defender of the year in Italy, the dream of any defender. I am French-Italian, Zidane is a champion, but overrated, without a team defending and fighting for.him he would have never done what he did in 1998 and 2006.
Still today Henry has darkness in the night remembering the world cup final against Cannavaro. Fabio Cannavaro won the ball on d’or when he was Juventus player, not a Real Madrid player
Im a real Madrid fan, when he come here he played very bad, without motivation but when he played in calcio and wity Italy. Omg i think he is the BEST defender i have ever seen. I really love his Style, 175 cm, the most intelligent defender in the history
About the ballon d’or we can discuss...but what a defender he was...despite being quite short he was extremely solid and tactically perfect...Defenders nowadays focus a lot on playing with the ball but when it comes to defend none of them gets even close to cannavaro
Look at the players he’s defending. Adriano, Zidane, Henry, Klose. These guys are monsters infront of goal and he made defending against them look easy when its not even close.
@@rocker4life318 yup he's underrated, he's from the caliber of defenders like Maldini, Nesta, Ramos, Vidić, yet he's not brought up enough when discussing who's the greatest defender of all time.
@@houssambouhou7846 i am Italian. He is not underrated he is Amazing. In the past we had a defense with Maldini Nesta and him. Maybe the best Defense ever

This guy won the 2006 world in my view. Everyone came to that world cup hoping to see Nesta in defence, Nesta got injured and Canavarro carried the team all alone. They conceding only 1 goal in open play for the entire world cup
Alemania goalkeeper school España teamwork school Brasil legends Argentinian gods Endgland unstoppable strikers Holand the best midfielders Greetings from Argentina
he was seriously underrated if compared to the recognition that Maldini and Nesta have. i was so happy for him in 2006, he absolutely deserves the honor. i think Maldini's performance in Italy's national team was just average, he always play better for his club than the national team. Nesta always broke his leg during national tournaments and absent from big matches. Out of the three, only Cannavaro had the mentality and health to give 110% for the national team
Sadly no more. Couldn’t even make it to the world cup this year. Lost to a mediocre team and got kicked out from the competition before it even started :(
ofcourse if I ask you who are the best deffenders in the last 2 decades ? You will say maldini, nesta, ramos or puyol they are great deffenders. But you'll never mention Cannavaro

best defender ever in my opinion. he is a beast, he is "one shot" defender
The 2006 WC germany vs italy is the game that Cannavaro demonstrated that he is one of the best defenders of all time
The best cb I've seen in my 52 years.
And it's not close
Whilst we are at it. My all time back 4.
Thuram Cannavaro Passarella Maldini.
No Scirea, Costacurta or Baresi?
Absolute the legend

Yes
This beast proves that being small isn’t a hindrance of becoming one of the most best defensive player in CB position.
Well you realise he's the average height in most countires right (5'9) if he was 5'3 it was a different story
Se ver um Zagueiro como melhor jogador do Mundo é surreal.
