Cannavaro regards Ramos highly

One of the reasons why he is different from the other defenders is that he can score some crucial goals for his team. It is for this reason why Fabio Cannavaro lauds the Spaniard while speaking to FIFA.com.

The former Ballon d’Or winning defender said: “…He surpassed all expectations [after being shifted to the centre of defence from right-back] because besides being a great defender, he also scores a lot of goals – and that is always nice.”

While a defender may be judged by his ability to defend, given that Ramos can do that very well already, he has the bonus that no other defender in the current time of football provides: a genuine scoring threat.
