My Take
Paolo Montero strikes me as the very picture of a warrior defender. Rising through Penarol before conquering Italy with Juventus, where he reigned for nine years and lifted four Serie A titles, he carried South American fire into one of football's toughest leagues. At 178 cm he was never the biggest center-back, yet his menace and reading of the game silenced strikers all the same. I am drawn to defenders who refuse to give an inch, and Montero personifies that defiance. Now passing his philosophy on as a coach, he remains a living emblem of Uruguayan steel and pride.
