Defenders these days

[épieur]

Is there any defender around these days who wouldn't be second-tier in any other era of football?

 

I mean, go back 10-15 years - Cannavaro, Desailly, Thuram, Maldini, Nesta. Or guys like Campbell, Stam, Hyypia, Ayala, Hierro, Kohler. Seems to me all of that bunch could walk into any side in the world today and instantly be proclaimed the best defender in the world without challenge.

 

What happened?
