How any Juve supporter could pay respect to the Bernabau faithful is beyond me. For I see them as scum. And just because they were nice to DP, does not mean I suddenly change my opnion of them...Its a pitiful incident to use to argue with me.
Yes. As captains, i value aggression. I value manliness. Off the field, i value manliness in other ways than purely muscle and ferocity, such as valour, honour, integrity, but these are not prime ingredients for a Captain of a football team.
To compare DP's trophy cabinet with Terry's is also useless. for Terry has not played for the vast majority of his career with a team attracting the best players in the world, and able to buy the best players in the world. It takes time to establish this, regardless of the massive input of russian petro$$$$...and we established this many moons ago, as a club.
Maldini and Baresi, were rarely vicious, but their positions, perhaps not much more, demanded they show more warrior like tendencies, to inspire respect in their colleagues. The others...I stand by the suggestion that they were or ar wonderful captains.
I do enjoy the decency of our club over the years, but decency, like in business, in anything competitive, very rarely brings success. Keano was rarely decent, but he was as responsible for HIS united team's succes as players far more technically gifted...Anyone who saw him, and that era, will be forced to agree with this on factual, not subjective grounds. Yet his main assets were aggression, nastiness, ferocity...I would prefer to see him now, that DP, even at his age. Because he would not accept such shoddy performances around him, and if Melo was ignoring him, Melo would be scalped as soon as the cameras were off the players...
