More interesting would be someone that throws around these terms ad nauseam explaining, very thoroughly, what they mean by them. I'm really getting the impression that they're nothing more than "fallback categories" to praise considering other aspects of the guy's game aren't worthy enough. Plus, they're just vague enough to get away with most people overlooking...
Oh, furthermore, I'd love to see these guys' definition of "bandiera" while they're at it.
In my opinion, it's a player that leads by example. When the team is mired in shit, he rises to the occasion and elevates his teammates, as well. He'll always, at minimum, be "the bright spot" in worst case scenarios that others look to. He's gotta do this day in, day out.
Del Piero and Buffon personify this.
The other guy does not in the slightest.
