Foreword: As we all know, the biggest personal honors a player can get in his career are the Ballon d'Or and the World Footballer of the Year. In the past selections of the Ballon d'Or and the World Footballer of the Year, the players from the front and midfield are the most popular, because of the advantages of the position, so that their talents can be presented most directly, so they are favored by people. But once, the Ballon d'Or was taken away at the same time as the World Footballer of the Year, and he was the protagonist of this article, Cannavaro.
Fans and friends, do you all have the impression of Cannavaro now, or the Italian young marshal who led the team in the Chinese Super League? Let me lead you back to cannavaro's playing field today!
As a teenager, he used to shovel Maradona
Cannavaro, full name Fabio Cannavaro, was born on September 13, 1973 in Naples, Italy, aged 49. Because Cannavaro's father was an avid Napoli supporter, he was inspired to join the team from an early age: at the age of 10, Cannavaro successfully entered the Napoli echelon; at the age of 16, Cannavaro was selected for the first team.
It is said that when Cannavaro was still in the Napoli youth team, he once shoveled maradona in training with the first team, and just when everyone blamed Cannavaro, Maradona gave him his own sneakers as a sign of encouragement.
Meeting Lippi is like meeting a "nobleman"
Although he entered the Napoli first team very early, it was not until the age of 20 (1993) that Cannavaro qualified to play in the top flight (which was stipulated in Serie A at that time). At that time, the head coach of Napoli was the noble man who later became famous in the world and was also the nobleman of Cannavaro's life - the legendary coach "Silver Fox" Lippi.
With a solid defense, the fledgling Cannavaro immediately won Lippi's trust and became Napoli's main defender. But Cannavaro's first bond with Lippi was very short-lived, and he only played for Napoli for two years before moving.
Formed a "defensive triangle" with Buffon and Thuram
Cannavaro, who left Napoli, went to another Serie A team, Parma, where he met Buffon and Thuram, forming a frightening "defensive triangle". During his six years at Parma, Cannavaro helped the team win two Coppa Italia titles, one Super Cup and one UEFA Cup, and was named the best defender in Serie A in 1999.
After that, Cannavaro was introduced by Inter Milan, but due to injury problems, Cannavaro has not played at Inter Milan. In the end, Cannavaro was abandoned by Inter Milan, and the thirsty Lippi immediately introduced him to Juventus.
Join Juve, win the World Cup, transfer to Real Madrid!
In 2004, on the strong recommendation of Enshi Lippi, Cannavaro joined Juventus. Cannavaro's arrival has made Juventus's defense more powerful, and although he has only played two seasons for Juventus in total, Cannavaro has played 74 of his 76 league games, which is enough to see how much the team relies on him. In these two seasons, Cannavaro has won two more Serie A titles.
The summer of 2006 was unforgettable for Cannavaro: that year, Cannavaro followed his mentor Lippi to lead Italy to the long-awaited World Cup; after the World Cup, Cannavaro joined La Liga giants Real Madrid.
Cannavaro at his peak, the "ceiling" among defenders
Because he led Italy to win the 2006 World Wave Championship, Cannavaro, as captain, won the Ballon d'Or and the World Footballer of the Year award without suspense. Cannavaro (1m 76), who is not tall, can become a top defensive player, fans are divided, in general, it depends on experience and awareness.
Although the height is not very high, But Cannavaro in the scramble for the header may not necessarily fall behind, relying on the early position; in addition, Cannavaro's ball shooting skills are very good, the next set is stable, the attitude is not to say, so it is impressive.
Cannavaro's version of Pro Evolution Soccer Mobile Game, which was launched on the 2nd and 14th, was chosen at his peak moment, Real Madrid (June 17, 2017), and we will personally feel Cannavaro's defensive strength in the game.
In this moment version of Cannavaro setting, 99 jumps, 99 defensive ability and 99 enthusiasm, absolutely in line with the cannavaro defensive players "ceiling" temperament; the other 94 explosiveness, 93 physical contact and 98 steals, but also show that Cannavaro is not a "good stubble", not only defensive strength, but also very fierce.
Overall, Cannavaro's extreme speed may not be so fast, but his defense is indeed very fierce, the speed is also very tough, the double defense is particularly top-notch, in the wing 1v1 single head,it is really difficult for him, the technical winger meets Cannavaro is really uncomfortable.
Conclusion: How strong Cannavaro's coaching level in the coaching era is, we dare not jump to conclusions, but Cannavaro in the player era is definitely the "ceiling" among defensive players. Cannavaro's ability to beat the crowd of forwards and midfielders, winning both the Ballon d'Or and the World Footballer of the Year award, is enough to show how strong his ability is. Fans and friends, let's experience Cannavaro's peak moment together in the "Pro Evolution Soccer" mobile game!
