- Опубликовано: 4 авг 2024
- While many agree that Paolo Maldini is the greatest defender of all time, from a purely defensive aspect, it’s not wrong to say that Fabio Cannavaro could be was the 2nd best defender of all time. In his prime, he was an absolute menace on the pitch. Even the fastest and best dribblers had to be at the very top of their game just to avoid him in open play.
So how GOOD Was Paolo Cannavaro Really?

Do you guys think Cannavaro is an all time defender or overrated? 🤔
I haven’t watched him but ima assume he’s a all timer obviously if he gets in the same convo as Maldini and nesta
All time
MAKE A VID ON STEVE MCMANAMAN PLEASE
Mike a vedio about Alesandro nesta
All time fs
I still remember Cannavaro performance in the 2006 world cup, it was the best defender performance I've ever seen a national tournament. A true legend and leader 👑
Zambrotta and Nesta were better more
@@MadPaperMario oh the tears☔️☔️☔️☔️
@@MadPaperMario not really Nesta was injured for most of the tournament, Italy best players in 2006 world cup was Cannavaro, Buffon and Pirlo.
@@ah21111988 he played brilliantly in the group stage for Italy better than. Cannavaro fraud
@@ah21111988 Not to forget Totti, he came from a bad injury with 70-80% fitness and gave 4 assists in that worldcup. He was joint highest assists in that worldcup with Figo.
Cannavaro in 2006, is elite defender.
His wc 2006 is one of best individual performances ever.
when I started playing football as a kid, because of this man I voluntered to play cb position while everyone else wanted to be a striker, pure charisma, pure talent best of best
The streets will never forget fabio
He’s trash and bad looking
He is not even that good overatted player
@@MadPaperMario shut up kid, you started watching football in 2018, can´t even wipe your ass properly
Champion team leader & best defender on the best defensive team.
@@MadPaperMario I assume you are 'generatrion z' kid? who was born in 2000 or later... Otherwise, Cannavaro was a beast and a monster he could jump and tower up against Zidane/Adriano(Inter.) and win a Header while he was 175 only.. Go sleep kid.
Fabio's athleticism was unmatched
Its his speed. No point for strikers to have great airgame or wtv if the defender gets there first. CB should be one big dude and one small dude. During attack the bigger dude should stay behind as the last man but and the smaller cb should roam further up.
Smaller body also means lesser energy burnt. Messi, Park Ji Sung, Ashley Cole, Evra every super athletic players tend to be smaller in stature. I'd like to see Haaland scoring against faster defender, all CB are slow and stocky nowadays but tthe strikers are supee fast.
The Italian commentary of the second goal in 06 semi final with Germany, is pure gold.. screaming Cannavaro few times and then that delPiero goal
ANCORA CANNAVARO!!
As someone who is also 175cm, I take offense to being called 5'8! 175 cm is 5 feet and 8.88 inches which rounds to 5'9!
I'm 5'5" 💀
@@smoke91My uncle is 4'9 lol
Now I feel happy being 180 cm
😭😭😭 my apologies king 👑
you are short.
Never doubt the "short" guys. I miss seeing him play
Moral of the story - whichever position you play on the football pitch, you can make up for any of your weakness with aggression and intelligent play. If you have an excellent reading of the game, you can use that to overcome any flaws, and play the game well into your 30s and maybe even hit 40.
perfectly said brother 👏 🫡
In football size, strength, or physicality doesn't usually matter except for GK and CB, and thats what makes Canavaro unique. He is severely undersized for his position but still he manages to become one of the best in his position. He might not be the best, but he surely is amongst the best
Size no but strength is the most important thing you need as a defender as you need to be physical
@@fildafernandes4366 Yup you need both upper body and lower body strength. Cannavaro was deceptively strong for his size. His shorter height also gave him a low center of gravity, meaning he could make tight manuevers more smoothly, thus helping him keep up with dribbling forwards.
Just like Casillas. A goalie who seemed to be short for his position but still showed the world who he really is with his speed and reflexes, which I guess could be as a result of how he maneuvered his body with his lower center of gravity as well.
@@mohammedahmmed9827Iker is 6'1 he isn't short in fact he is taller than Yann Sommer
Everything matters for all positions, a strong winger can also be helpfull, its not a must ofc
Maldini is probably the best ever, Beckenbauer and Baresi are in contention as well (even tho, personally, i wouldn't say Beckenbauer was just a defender, he had a lot of other qualities and he played in a very different way from most defenders) but 2006 WC Cannavaro was the best defender of all time (just in that tournament) and it is not even close...people really need to go back and be reminded of that performance, it was almost a supernatural performance, surreal, if you are young, you probably never experienced seeing something like that from a defender, but you probably did when watching CR7 and Messi playing.
True, but when R9 has Cannavaro in his all time XI that just shows all you need to know about his defending
@@RaymarFootball I mean yeah, it would be pretty hard to not put him in an hypotetical all time 11 to be honest, i think with Maldini at LB and with Beckenbauer and Cannavaro as CB.
Kids compare Van Dijk to these legends 😂
@@kelvinocw seriously? I think Van Dijk is a very good CB but for god's sake, he's just two levels lower the guys @micheleduritto was talking about.
@@vladimirmandingo6033 Good during ladies era.What’s youur age mate?
Bro put back the old music 😂😂😂 the ambience was insane
1.75 is 5'9" no??
If you round it up
5’8.9” 🤣 But we can round up I guess
Thanks for being so accurate. We need it in the world!!! Thank you soo much!!! You are the goat! Thanks again. Than you
Just asked. I don't know about these American measures, which are quite unnecessary.
Same size as Baresi, both monsters 💪🏼
Even tho he was short, I remember that he was a beast at headers. He had such good timing and a good vertical leap, so he won many headers against taller forwards
Also baresi was 5'9 (176cm) and is in the top 5 defenders ever
Baresi was a libero, not a stopper. He was required to be good with feet and a decent defender
@@antoniousai1989 still a central back, also libero (real ones, not modern ones like stones, calafiori etc) used to sit behind the main defence, so basically baresi was alone behind 3 players and caught players with his extreamly good positioning and timing, didnt had to be good with the ball actually.
beckenbauer was a "modern" libero, he was good at passing and shooting, was basically a cdm.
baresi is my goat of the defenders.
@@EnormeEkoH Yeah, but he wasn't a top defender. He was a good one, but even in his team, Maldini and Costacurta were way stronger in the defensive phase.
@@antoniousai1989 i disagree, i think no one ever has been as good as baresi, even Maradona himself said he was the beast, and asked for his shirt (even tho he destroyed that Milan all alone lol) there was also Maldini but was a 20/22 years old one, very young, hes clesrly in the top 3 anyway, personally the best as i said
@@EnormeEkoH Baresi> Maldini> Costacurta>Nesta>Cannavaro.. nonetheless Cannavaro is still an elite defender.
Great editing, well done to your editor!
thanks brother! edited it myself 😂😎
Cannavaro was insanely good. He could outmuscle and win headers against 6’4 strikers while outpacing even the fastest attackers
An absolute goat among the defenders!! Btw since I see lots of Italian football fans.. can we have a video on Roberto Baggio??
I even name my son cannavaro because this guy inspired me to play as a centre back with my size similar to him and I did well🔥🔥🔥🔥 Fabio Cannavaro
Letsgoo been wanting this one for a while
much love for the support brother 🙏
Bro put back the gladiator background music 😂in my your videos felt like we was going to war
I have fond memories of Cannavaro playing in parma,parma back in late 90's was pretty solid team.
Make a video about Alessandro Nesta next!
These videos make me appreciate just how skilled soccer players really are as athletes ⚽️
Point of Correction: Italy did concede a goal in 2006 when Christian Zacardo (if I remember correctly) scored an own goal in a 1-1 draw against USA. So Italy conceded 1 goal in open play which was an own goal and 1 other goal from Zidane's penalty in the final
It was a free kick
@@cms3000Free kick is not open play? I thought open play meant non-penalty goals. English isnt my first kanguage so pardon me
@@NphiniT it's not an open play.
Penalty, corner and free kick are not open plays.
Free kick is a set piece. Not open play @@NphiniT
I’m waiting for a Gattuso video since we’re talking about italian defenders, the guy is underrated, i hardly see videos like this on him.
he isn’t that good
He was always known as a headless chicken at Milan. Gattuslow mostly known for committing thousands of fouls and interrupting play.
@@lucatoni98 💀💀💀
Because it's hard to talk about him. Basically Kante but 200% more sluggish and 200% worse offensively. He's good at pressuring opponent but that's all.
@@lucatoni98 Cristiano Ronaldo still has nightmares from 2007 though 😅
Bek idola ❤
I saw him on several occasions when he was playing for Real and the team came to the hotel I used to work. He was not tall, you can say that he was short compared to his teammate van Nistelrooy but ,man, he had a body like a rugby player. Incredibly well built. Roberto Carlos was actually even shorter but the same shape. I remember wondering why the hell are they having even the forearm muscles so well worked out. So yeah, they surely perfected what they had compared with other players more gifted by the nature.
Tell me you're too young to actually see these legends play if in a video about Cannavaro you mention Maldini 50 times and Nesta zero times. Maldini was declining (still world class though) when Cannavaro was rising. But Nesta was even younger than Fabio and was concidered even better at the time!
I mean if R9 thinks Cannavaro was the better defender, I think that holds a ton of weight
@@RaymarFootball you cant be serious, a single player's personal experience means absolutely nothig. Everyone knows Nesta was on another level. If ou say other wise then ou should watch baseball or pickup chess
@@arablues4142 well I think one of the best attacking players in history definitrly knows the defensive ability of these legends more than any fans though. Nesta is still a legend of course
Great video. Please do one about Thierry Henry
I love his defending according to his size,it shows size doesn't matter in football
Next video do on Rudi Völler
Can you make a video on alessandro nesta next.
One of my fc mobile favorites
YESSSSSSSSS HE MADE IT MY LIFE IS COMPLETE
Another phenomeal short CB - Ivan Cordoba
he was used for marking player or zone and for speed, diff role than cannavaro, but amazing player nonetheless
Please make a video about Philip lahm 🙏🙏🙏
I would love to see some Greek players in future video's, we have and had some hidden gems
No drama
Legend cannavaro
Hey Raymar .please make a video of Ricardo Qureshma
He forgot to mention Alessandro nesta can u make a video of him
Please make a video about Mousa Dembele 😁
Champion team leader & best defender on the best defensive team.
Some of they say in fifa Cannavaro is bad and short and slow
But for me Cannavaro is a beast despite his Height
Bro, try to do one for Cristian Chivu, inter legend
He was better at Ajax
11 minutes of Cannavaro jacking up some of the game's greatest attackers. I had no idea he was that nasty. This montage is pure filth. 😤
Before Cannavaro, Italy had another two 5'9" central defenders: Franco Baresi and Pietro Vierchowod. Both World Champions in 1982 in spite of not playing.
Baresi is often considered the best pure defender ever and in the same league of Beckenbauer.
Vierchowod was considered the toughest opponent ever faced by Maradona, Van Basten, Batistuta, Lineker and many others. Even prime Ronaldo at 22 suffered Vierchowod at 39
Cannavaro got the glory for that fantastic World Cup
I like the video but can you make a video for jens lehmann😊
I’m a juventus supporter, having him playing for our team was like cheating. What a beast.
Goat ❤❤❤
In the 90's, only the very talented would become world famous. There was no internet & not many people had access to network television
Is the second chapter called The genius of david silva?
fixed it my man 🤣 thanks for letting me know
The 175 cm Cannavaro jump higher than 195 cm Luca Toni.
he got hops!
pls do luis figo next
Really young messi is not to be joked with 😂
there was one goal scored in open play against US an OG by Zaccardo
Baresi is 5’9. And he’s the greatest Center back in the modern era.
Beckenbauer at 5’10.5 is the greatest ever.
So it’s not about height, it’s about ability to read the game and having the agility and physicality to take the ball off the attacker as a Center back.
Usually a tall man short man Center back combination always is the best synergy.
Eg Puyol, Pique. Cannavaro, Materrazi or Thuram. Baresi - Costacurta/Madini.
One for ground interception/man marking and one for aerial dominance
Is Baresi really considered the modern era? The time period he played is closer to the likes of Beckenbauer and Bobby Moore than modern CB's like Dias and Saliba.
@@MR12AMAZING Yep. He retired in 1997, he was something like a link between them. The Captain was a very peculiar player, i'm sure that if he were currently playing he would be a top class midfielder hands down, an incredible mix between Rodrigo and Kante
Buffon, Cannavaro, Sensini, Thuram, Boghossian, D.Baggio, Véron, Fuser, Crespo, Stanic... That Parma was something incredibile for a non-elite club!
They spent elite amounts of money and did some elite accounting scams to achieve that.
@@Stan.k.Phlaps6447😂😂😂true
But it’s impressive if you think that Parma would easily win today’s champions league! Parma…..😂
@@simons9300 well, they didn't win then so I doubt they'd win today. They were pretty good and won a few cups in the 90s but they didn't even manage to win Serie A. They weren't that good, although they had some great players.
@@Stan.k.Phlaps6447 you joking right? The serieA in the 90s??? Take a look at the players there were in the serieA from the 90s and rethink what you just said about nowadays champions league 😂🤦♂️
@@simons9300 Serie A was the biggest league for most of the 90s, but they didn't win the champions league every year. I'm sure Italian clubs only won it about 3 times - Milan in 90, 94 and juve in 96 I think, might be wrong. Just like the Premier League is the biggest league now, but English clubs don't win it often.
I don't know how old you are but I remember the 90s very clearly. We lost English football from terrestrial TV when the Premier league started and they started broadcasting Serie A matches instead, so I remember it well.
Parma had very good players, but they were not a great team. Modern teams would obliterate them.
Make a video about Ivan Cordoba. I don't think ppl know just how incredibly good he was.
Puyol next!
My biggest surprise in this video is he had hair 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
he was never bald and by bald I mean actually balding.. he just chooses to shave it guard 2/1....
@@zorashki I know lol
Do Gullit on you next video please
Day 1 of asking Raymar to do a Video Covering Bolton Wanderers, Jay-Jay Okocha, Fernando Hierro, Ivan Campo & Sam Allardyce's Astute Signings!
Just a reminder: in the 2005/06 season, on the field, Juventus won the Serie A title with three points higher than AC Milan (91 against 88). Then, after the Calciopoli Scandal, the 2005/06 title was delivered to Inter Milan: if I'm not mistaken, they had only clinched the third place
Make a video about neuer
Can you do a video on how klopp rebuilt Liverpool?
your video quality is good but i cant get over your voice inflections
Cannavaro ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
"somehow" this dude is underrated
I really love these vids but my biggest gripe with the channel is not saying the stats. He could’ve showed his tackles,interceptions,tackles per game, clean sheets, 1on1s, times dribbled pass etc. he could even compare it with other great defenders to make it more significant.
Raymar can you make video about Malaysian footballer? #4
which one brother
@@RaymarFootball oh you see my comment thank you.I don't know maybe Mokhtar Dahari or other legend
Can you make a video of another
Small defender Franco baresi
I definitely will sir 🫡
Fabio looks that usa actor captain America 😊
he kind of does in the thumbnail 🤣
Btw you made the time stamp called “the genius of David Silva”… you might want to change that
appreciate it! I changed it brother
Baresi, Maldini, Cannavaro
hey, could you consider making a video on lorenzo insigne in the future? i think that he is insanely underrated and was a beast in his prime
i feel his star only shined post 2006 worldcup
Cannavaro has been a great defender and player. Having said that, i am a Juventus fan, so I know him well.
And i can tell you his team mate next to him was actually better.
I am talking about Thuram.
They were both almost equal but i give a little edge to Thuram and together they were just perfect. They were the 2 best central defenders in the world and if to that you add Buffon and even Zambrotta... Well that juve team was spectacular!!
Che Cannavaro. Che capitano😊
Make A video on gianfranco zola plssssssssssssssssss
If this video is about Fabio Cannavaro, how about after this a video for Roberto Ayala..played for Argentina & Valencia etc..
Underrated player Ayala
I enjoyed the video but why make so many comparisons to Maldini?
Alssandro nesta video
his shoulders were so broad and he was so powerful that they compensated for his height
Best Italian centre back of all time
Bro looks like Chris Evans in the thumbnail
baresi is also around that height
One of the best defender of all time ..
as Brazil has always had outstanding offensive players Italy has always had outstanding defensive players. Certainly Cannavaro has been one of the best but before him there have been Collovati, Gentile, Ferri, Bergomi, Costacurta, Vierchowod, Morini, Cuccureddu, Rosato, Burgnich, Guarneri, Cera, Salvadore, Picchi and the most elegant and technical Gaetano Scirea.
Serie A was the best league on the planet for 70 years. Of those 70 years, the absolute best decade of scorers came in the 90s and 2000s when all the worlds elite attackers joined.
Fabio dominated them all. So who cares if his clubs were less successful, he was often times the best defender in the best league with the best defense and defenders vs the best attackers.
Italians do it best
Best league for 70 years Serie A? Are you joking?
@@giannottister well when was it the best? Do you think La Liga and EPL were better the last 50 years?
@@matsalvatore9074 Serie A was the best league in the world from the mid-80s until around 2000. Certainly not for 70 years.
@@giannottister so where was the best league in the 70s n early 80s? Epl? Dutch?
@@matsalvatore9074 I think Dutch and Epl were the best leagues in the 70s and 80s; it shows in the number of Champions League titles won.
I agree that Cannavaro was one of the best defenders off all time, but I don't think Nesta was less. Italy ever had amazing defenders and goalkeepers, it's very hard compare them. It's the same with Buffon, because Peruzzi, Pagliuca or Zenga weren't inferior. But great video, keep going with other legends.
He was something amazing to witness... But I don't know if he was the second best italian defender of all time, Alessandro Nesta was one of the most perfect defender I've ever seen...
Well franco baresi is only 176cm too, and talking about pure defensive skill he is arguably the best ever played ❤️.....stalled players like maradona, platini and many more like nothing ....just like maradona said about him Baresi is the maximum of a defender ❤ and the god father of Great Maldini
Interesting there is no mention of what many consider the other best Italian defender of all time who was also 5’9, Baresi?
Great video though
My friend said "he never won UCL"
I said quickly "brooo he won World Cup ad he was captain in 2006"
he is crazy as a small man playing against big and fast attacking players though
He is average height. 175 cm is 5'9", which is average height in countries like the US, UK, Italy, France, Spain, etc.
@@sebfox2194 that height is too average for his position in europe…remember most of world class centre backs especiall those top class legends and current world class players is 180cm and above…if he is a sideback or defendsive midfield then his performances not that unbelievable but still in world class performance defensively..
Day 1 asking for a video on Totti and Cassano
And he's the most handsome Italian player of all time ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉
😂 handsome indeed
Queresma is 5,9 I think only euro footy uses giant tact’s but that’s why we have giant killing David and Goliath
Quaresma is a winger though. Wingers tend to be shorter, it's not like center backs.
