Who was/is the best defender of all times?
My pick would go on Laurent Blanc (very underrated). Carried France in WC 1998 and Euro 2000, good skill and good physical, ex-forward he was able to score, and our defense went to shit after his retirement
pic unrelated
roberto carlos
Ramos
João Pebbles

Laurent Blanc isn't fit to tie either Paul McGrath's or Franco Baresi's shoes.
José Nasazzi
Young B'resi.

>searching in national football and not club football
I don't know. It will probably be Alessandro Nesta or Franz Beckenbauer, maybe Antoni Szymanowski
also Thuram was better than Blanc

>inb4 nesta, maldini, baresi, stam, beckenbauer, sammer, thuram, desailly, cannavaro, samuel all of whom are better than laurent blanc

It makes me remember a game in between La Lazio and Napoli where Gascoigne and Maradona were both totally drunk and on drugs on the pitch.

Maldini wasn't very good
total team baby
>>76275889
Just different class of teammates.
Mozer

> Desailly
He was Ujfaluši tier. Strong list otherwise.
>>76275878
Blanc > Samuel
>>76275878
