Andrea Barzagli (4 Viewers)
- Thread starter Dostoevsky
- Start date
He didnt allow him the angle to score, and intercepting that had a high chance for penalty imo

Each time i see barzagli play, i remember why i like italian football so much, and how mediocre pieces of shit the rest of the league's defenders are
Came at juventus, fixed the backline, beeing the real commander making bon and chiello play to their potential, but whilst remaining by far the best defender we got.
never blunders, never loses the duel, surprisingly good feet for his strong build
and lets not forget the few time when he bursts out of the defence with the ball and crosses the entire field
Best juventus defender since Cannavaro, and longer at a high level then cannavaro.

Cannavaro reached a "special" level during the 06 season. but over a 5 year period, he never kept as long at high level as barzagli has been.
Both are simular. regular height strong complete centrebacks, incedibly gifted in winning duels and anticipating, sheer impossible to pass, good in the air for their heights and commanding the backline.

I remember against real, how many times he stopped ronaldo in 1v1. today, simular.
players going in duel with him are lost before they engage

wel thats why i said "detante", wich is a frensh term for the ability to leap off the ground for headers. Cannavaro had amazing timing and detante and won nearly allways the header against much taller forwards.
Another thing, was acceleration. He had some burst in him
here is a vid, with questionable music, that highlights how good he was at 2006WC. the footage is from just a few games against world class opponents
Its breath taking. And barzagli reminded me of him today

Cannavaro was like the maradona of the defence. He was quicker than barza.
I think both are comparable in the way of how good they are technically when it comes to defending.
Barza is not as explosive or technical as canna.. but is no doubt world class and has the composure of the legendary italian defenders of the past.
UNlike Chiellini and Bonucci.... this guy is made of real legendary material.
I would love to include chiello in that league... but he doesnt have the technique or the IQ of the top of the line breed like barzagli and canna.

Slow down, Barza certainly is really good now, but Comparing to Cannavaro in his prime is a bit too much, the guy on the form of 2006 was probably one of the best defenders ever.
