Montero was very rugged no doubt but he was never top class in my view. Way too many fouls and red cards. In this era he would have been a Stoke City defender. Baresi, Maldini, Nesta, Carvalho, Desailly, Adams had more controlled aggression and hence more accuracy with their tackles. |

nateevs: Laws are now tweaked to favour attackers more. Most of these players and tackles wont survive todays laws. Montero wont play a complete 90mins for a season in todays football |

raumdeuter: I watched an old tape Chelsea vs Leeds. Ron "chopper" Harris for Chelsea and Norman "bite yer legs" Hunter with Billy Bremner for Leeds. Counted about 6 slam dunk red cards and a couple of assault charges in the first 5 minutes. I am not sure the ref booked any player in that period. 4 Likes |

Nihilist: I have seen a Montero live game, after hacking a player, he doesnt even wait for referees to give him card, he will jog out of the field himself knowing what he has done. That player wont kick football again for the next 3 months |

afrodoc2: Everyone has his style. Baresi, Maldini, Adams hardly tackled, however Paolo Montero was top class even with his agbero ways. Despite all his cards, he was a sure banker for Juventus for 9 years, and they were (arguably) the strongest and most consistent club side in the world during the period Paolo played for them. The triumvirate of Mark Juliano, Paolo Montero and Ciro Ferrara were like cash in the bank, with Alessio Tacchinardi sometimes dropping in. Of those, Montero and Ferrara were the most respected. 1 Like 1 Share |

afrodoc2: Emerson used to warn players that where he comes from if you nutmeg him, He has a right to end your career, So pass before you get to him The entire Juventus back line were animals Ciro Ferrara Paolo Montero, Alessio Tachinardi, Torricelli, Mark Iuliano And the Butcher of Bilbao. He didnt even get sent off for this tackle https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f9_f9UrizSk He broke Maradonas ankle and kept the boot he used in a glass case as a souvenir |

Ibime: Decent defender and tough customer. But all those fouls and red cards in that video just highlight suspect positioning and limited pace. That Juve defensive unit was very good based on the defensive midfield shield, the keeper behind them and of course their Italian coaching and mind set. However IMO none of the central defenders was individually world class, Montero included. |

afrodoc2: You could say the same about Bonucci and co today then. You cannot judge 1990s with the eyes of today. Pace was not an issue for centrebacks then. A defender could comfortably be World Class without pace eg Baresi, Adams and co. If you describe all these defenders as limited, then add Deschamps and Conte who were also limited, is that not supposed to be a West Brom style of team? However 3 UCL finals in a row begs to differ, not to mention a further final in 2003 plus semis in 1999. Nah, these guys were class. Breaking Juventus defence then was the hardest thing in football, and if you break it, Montero would hack you down and take one for the team. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Ibime: A very good defensive UNIT i agree. But let's not use team success alone to judge individual quality. So was Mark iuliano world class too or was ciro Ferrara world class? Just cos the TEAM had success does not mean every player in it was world class. I can easily name 10 defenders in that period better than Montero and his doped CB goons. |
Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by raumdeuter: 7:51pm On Sep 25, 2017 |
Ibime: I agree we cannot use football standards of now to measure footballers of those days. Footballers are faster and more tactical now, Those days it was pure natural skill and less of fitness. There were more specialists, Defenders arent expected to pass, its just to hack down attackers, Same with DM they arent expected to pass just twart attacks, Number 10 are just expected to dribble and create for the whole team and 9 to ghost around and poach. Most footballer and coaches of those days smoke heavily drink and some might even struggle to run 400m. But Juventus dominating the Serie A and making 3 back to back CL finals while having defence as one of their major strong point, that has to count for something in the book for Montero, Ferrara and co |

afrodoc2: Juventus didn't park the bus, and they still had one of the meanest defence, Someone was definitely doing the job. Maybe because Montero didn't have a strong National team then denied him of some of his respect |
