there are a lot of top defenders

"Of course, there are a lot of top defenders who are not that tall, Bobby Moore who has won the World Cup, or Franco Baresi who, in my eyes, is the best centre-back in the world. I didn't get to see Bobby Moore playing, but Baresi is very fast, plays well on the ball, commands the whole defensive line when he's only 5ft 9in or 5ft10in."
