Ask a question about the Italian defender

Counter-attacking is Italy's constant tactic, Nesta has world-class ability but too many injuries, Cannavaro is not tall but has a good header and tackles, Maldini was really good when he was young, and most of the accolades were achieved at the club. If it weren't for Buffon, Italy wouldn't have won the title in '06. If these people can form a line of defense, it is really a concrete line of defense.

Italian defenders have always been talented, the 94 World Cup said that Baggio led Italy all the way to the final, but that was based on a strong backline, Maldini, Baresi, Bergomi, Tasottti, Costa Curta and goalkeeper Pagliuca, by 98 Zambrotta, Cannavaro is already a fledgling, but there are still Iuliano and Bergomi, the farewell performance of the 02 World Cup horse team, Cannavaro, Nesta, Zambrotta has matured, '06 was their most glorious year, with the emergence of the great left-back Grosso and Materazzi's outstanding contribution, but it was Cannavaro's.

That's for sure, these are the best defenders in the world, won the World Footballer of the Year, and the Italians are very talented in the position of defender and goalkeeper, in addition to the above there are Tasotti, Baresi, Costacuta, Bergomi, Zov, Zenga, Pagliuka... A Toldo made the Netherlands depressed at the European Championships that year. Italians are most famous for their star defenders, and Italian football plays defensive counter-attacks, creating batches of defensive talents.

The reinforced concrete defence is not just the man you mentioned, it is synonymous with the entire history of Italian football.

Of course, Italy's bucket formation in '06 won the World Cup without being favored!!

Yes back then, but not now. Nesta can't play the main team, and the substitutes are barely there; Caravaro is 37 years old and has a noticeable decline in ability; Maldini retired; And Buffon is not back to the bravery of 06 due to injury. Now it's up to Chiellini and some of the young defenders to be as tough as the Italian defenders of the day.

It's not how strong the defenders are! It's a conservative way of playing! 11 men defended in the game. Can you not have a concrete-like defensive line??

The defense in football is a system, this is similar to the barrel principle, it does not have to be the strongest personnel, but it must be very good, and it is very team discipline, and the overall defense will become strong.
