Materazzi wasnt like this in the past seasons,you would see glmices of brilliance and you would see some of the worst defeding you have ever seen,but he always had heart and he always loved and still loves inter and he always gives his best,NO ONE CAN DENY THAT,in the past you cant say he was good,cause sometimes he would play well and sometimes not.
But now is a whole different thing,he is decisive both in defense and attack and now you see he plays with his brain much more than before,as of right now,if he can continue with this form,then yes no doubt in my mind is he a better defender than cannavaro and nesta.
Lol cannavaro,did you see what happened to him in the last few matches?he is getting played just like a doll and lol i dont even consider nesta even a medicore defender anymore,after what zlatan did to him in the derby lol they revoked his defender card.
And i am not counting Costa and maldini,they are both great players even though they are milan players,they are to milan fans what legends like meazza,zenga and javier are to inter fans.
