My Take
Ivan Cordoba is one of those defenders Inter Milan fans will revere forever, and I count myself among his admirers. Undersized for a center-back, the Colombian made up for it with ferocious timing, intelligence, and bravery in the air that defied his height. He was a rock at the heart of the Inter side that finally broke through, captaining them and lifting a treasure trove of trophies including that historic 2010 treble run. I love that kind of player, all heart and positioning rather than raw physical gifts. For Colombia and for the Nerazzurri, he was the very definition of a warrior leader.
