[@marctaddei7524]

+Jakiiz Jambo Ronaldo played against John Terry and Cole who were both in their primes. He faced the Milan side of 2005 which included Cafu, Maldini, Stam and a primal Nesta. Ronaldo also managed to play against Philip Lahm when he was on one of his best forms and against the best right back in the World of the 2010's Dani Alves. Don't get me started on the constant tackling against Ronaldo with Gerrard and Lampard in the Premier League. Ronaldo actually has played against some of the best defenders, and at a very young age. Messi however...

Zack 777 You make me laugh. Do you really think going up against a 32 year old Ferdinand, a 36 year old Nesta, a 33 year old Roberto Carlos, and a 32 year old John Terry is something to be "So proud of"?

[@acowinablender8211]

This is what defending is about. This doesn't show all of Maldini's and Nesta's talent because they were superb at intercepting and reading the game. These guys are the perfect example of a classic defender, defending with passion. Doing absolutely everything to keep the ball from going into their net. Of course there are many other great classic defenders, these two are just one of the best examples.

[@botulum]

+I'mSecretelyAFlamingo the same thing is with Makelele, the best defensive midfielder ever, people do not appreciate him, it is hard to find clips with his skills, true unsung hero.

Maldini was super consistent, and imo one of the fastes central defenders even when he was at his late 30s. Hell i remember him being 40 years of age, and still our best defender at milan. Bottom line is: the attacker had to go through them in order to score and to do that hed have to get some bruises on him cos these 2 guys fought the attackers they didnt just defend.

This video makes me sad. It highlights what modern football is missing. There is too much focus on attacking players and scoring goals in today's game. Don't get me wrong, goals are a vital part of the sport but stopping them should be viewed with the same reverence. However, the youth see all these attacking players with the glory and piles of money being thrown at them so nowhere near as many grow up wanting to be a defender. And this is why we have seen such a decline in class of defenders in the modern game.

Italy knew how to make defenders

[@Markovnikov90]

AFMakers "knew" indeed.. now our best defenders are chiellini , bonucci and barzagli...... even though I'm a juventus fan I don't even compare them with maldini nesta and cannavaro..

[@InnocentRain562]

Markovnikov90 They still are legends in their own right to be fair

[@lukelilly1572]

+Markovnikov90 Well to me defenders as a whole have declined. Italy still produces some of the best. Chiellini and Bonucci are world class. Rugani is an amazing prospect. Look at the best defenders of the last ten years, none of them even compare to Nesta, Maldini, Cannavaro, or Baresi.

Ramos? WTF! He could hardly handle top level forwards. Always fouling them - if he ever got near them. Messi owned him in pretty much every classico. His reputation is largely on the goals he scored rather than being a solid defender. The others on this list are way ahead of him.

[@Randomstuff3146]

Such a shame that Maldini couldn't get a world cup. It happened 4 years later in 06, and I would have wished he would have been part of the squad to be there with them when they won it. Maldini is a legend, but do not knock Nesta. He had injury problems but when healthy, he is ranked up there as one of the best defenders ever. Nesta had it all, instinct and was rarely beaten for pace. I remember that one clip of Messi cutting through Milan's penalty area as Nesta was next to him, slide tackled and got his foot on the ball before Messi could get off the shot. Nesta was 35 when this happened in 2011 in a Champion's League match. Imagine what a prime Nesta could do? oLivaz22 is right, youth players see the attention the attacking players get, and most kids wanna score goals. If you were to ask a youth soccer team who are the best soccer players of all time, they'll mention the players who score goals, you'd be lucky to hear them name a defender. As a youth coach of competitive team, I have one player that likes playing defense over any other position. I will be sending him a link to this video to see how two great defenders got it done.

They just got some oil rich owners that dropped a ton of cash in on the transfer budget.

Franco Baresi was the best defender of all time an absolute genius ... Paolo Maldini was more technically savvy and played with him and learned a lot from him (for example the legendary offside trap of AC Milan in the late 80s and early 90s was a power and despair for every top striker Time) ... Nesta was an elegant defender with a deadly stance ... in short ... Maldini and Nesta truly deserve the description "The art of defense"
