Has there been a better defender than Nesta since 2000?

If he didn''t get injured in 2006, Materazzi wouldn't have played in the final. Materazzi scored the equalizer and provoked the red car. Who knows how the result would have been different with Nesta instead of Materazzi

Sergio Ramos

>this coming from the resident Messi dickrider

Kek

>>74581690
Baresi is the GOAT defender

>>74581476
Cannavaro. Maybe John Terry.

The best side of his game came as a CB

cannavaro

>>74581476

Yes.

>Boateng
>Lahm
>Hummels
>Terry
>Ferdinand
>Ramos
>Puyol
>Alves
>Cannavaro

Just to name a few. There are at least 10 more on Nesta's level...

>>74581476
John Stones

>>74581476
Serge Aurier
The focus and determination he brings to the game is unmatched

For me, it's Paul Scholes.

>>74581958
Bait or plain retarded?

not really, no.

>>74581958
all wrong.

>>74581476
Palmieri

>>74581476
For me, it's Diego GODin

>all those milennials spouting names of players they only know from wikipedia

>>74581626
but still, Materazzi provoked the penalty that Zidane scored, so it would have been 0-0

>>74581626
>red car
Since when are automotives allowed on a football field?

Ricardo Carvalho is the most underrated defender of the last century. He wad a beast in his prime. Not better than Nesta but deserves a honorable mention.

>>74581476
Vidic

>>74583749
he is just a squad player and you know that

>>74583555
for a very long list there's not much I disagree with, good job anon

I don't think I'd put Puyol in Elite personally but I can see why you would because of his great leadership

February 26th 2011

Lennon skips past Nesta who falls flat on his ass so Lennon could cross the ball to Crouch to win the leg 1-0 at the San Siro.

They qualified to the next round.

>>74589936
The picture shows Yepes though

>>74583555
Where would you put Toby Alderweireld and David Luiz?

>>74589936
kek, wasn't yepes around 36 here?

>a defender who defends well is a system baby
Ugh, why do good players always play to their own strengths? Such pussies.

>>74589969
>>74590077
I couldn't find a picture of Nesta, he still got passed Nesta though.

>>74587829
He technically won it in '82

>>74589975
Same place I'd put John stones. In the fucking trash.

>>74581476
> got Nesta's autograph one time
>He had the same cold expression in his eyes
Is that what makes defenders GOAT? The scaring forwards with their gaze?

>>74583080
chiellini is shit m8
Boipucci and Barzagli are the real deal, well Barzagli used to be

>>74581476
he's arguably te best defender of all time, so no.
But /sp/ does't know shit about football so retards will post some dumb meme playre and claim he's better

>>74581765
baresi would play in a role like marchisio or modric if he played now.

>>74583555
materazzi and panucci are better than bonucci.
Bonucci is a great leader and organizer of the defense, but he's mediocre in actually defending, 1 on 1 against another player.
Materazzi and panucci had his same ballplaying skills but they could actually defend.
The fact that bonucci is rated so high shows the terrible level defenders have been in the last decade
