Art of Defence - Old School

[felixg]

When men were allowed to play. Those were amazing times.

[MineBuilder]

I feel like defending was much more appreciated back then

Missing this football..
Where money was just their salary not business..

[OlawoyeQuadriAQDWittyOPE]

90's - 2006 was the golden era of football. We had the opportunity to watch great striker that will fall & rise up when fouled, Midfielders with mesmerising skill & commitment and defenders that were actual defender cantenaccio style. Bring back the old football and loyalty era not capitalism football where money is all that matters over competition.

Italian defenders are the best in the world, hands down!

[d.triantoro]

damn.. maldini... i dont know that defense can be so beautiful to watch

[ChewySauce-.-]

I have always loved the feel of attacking and even scoring goals but I know that deep down inside me I am a defender till I die. Love to see when defenders get love because sometimes we forget how important we really are.

[-Andre-Rodrigues]

Franco "You Shall Not Pass!!!" Baresi
The best of all times

[mamamaumamam]

Nesta made both Messi and Ronaldo look like regular player

[FAUST]

Legends!! I miss seeing this type of aggressive defending nowadays. Football has changed so much. Maldini my favorite of all time. Forza Milan!

[pedrosantos]

Maldini is in almost every tackle, legend

[azizboulivar]

Paulo Maldini is a great defender that i have never seen, all my respect to that great hero.

[greekshadow]

Puyol was the heart of the team. He played each like it was his last time playing football. Without him football is poor..I miss him

[cristianmariella]

Nesta, Maldini, Cannavaro, Baresi, Costacurta...5 Italians in this video.

This should mean something.

That Italy produced the best defenders ever.

[abdullahsaleh]

the best thing in this video that they start the video with the best defender neeestaaa

[ChewySauce-.-]

I really wish this video never ended. Such a masterful showing!!!

[affankhan]

people think that defending is dead. It's not. what you see in this video is legends winning the ball successfully before having any physical impact with the player. I see a lot of this happening in current generation too. But I have to concede that playacting really makes it hard for defenders to play phsyically.

[viktorholmstromeldemar]

The title should have been "Art of Italian Defence".

[AtgreatR]

Today all of these tackles would be given freekick to the oppenent. Football died in this gay era

[jaimefernandezestevez]

2:48 If I'm not wrong this is Roberto Carlos (1, 68 m) against Jan Koller (2, 02 m). I read yesterday about this Czech player and this play with R. Carlos :D
