I dont know man, i've seen alot of great defenders in my 42yrs of my life watching football, but baresi, maldini, nesta, and cannavaro just different. Its debatable but i'll vote for them for the best ever defenders to ever live untill today.
Agreed. Back then being a top scorer wasn’t enough unless you play like R9 in pre injury (year 95-98). Nedved, Figo, Zidane, even Ronaldinho didn’t score the most goal but their ability and contribution to team was significant.
It was most likely because the idea of a 50+ goals per season was pretty much unheard of after R9. You would have your experienced strikers who may net in upwards of 35 goals for a few seasons but would then fall back down. This left more room for midfielders, defenders and even goalkeepers to scoop up the top awards. Then came Messi and Ronaldo (statistical anomalies) where you just couldn't ignore the heaps of goalscoring. Same goes for Lewandowski and Karim Benzema (on a more minor level). Also, goal involvement is seemingly a lot easier to track ahead of tackles, interceptions, blocks, etc...
