My Take
What impresses me about Aldair is the artistry of defending. Born in Ilhéus, Bahia, this 183 cm centre back anchored the Brazil side that won the 1994 World Cup. In a national team famous for dazzling attack, doing the unglamorous work of breaking up plays and reading danger takes real character. To me, his long, beloved tenure at Roma proves that reliability can earn as much devotion as flair. I have always had a soft spot for the quiet professionals who hold a team together from the back, and Aldair is a textbook example.
