Argentina legend Gabriel Batistuta has likened AS Roma’s Federico Fazio with some of the best defenders of past and present.
Federico Fazio moved to Tottenham in 2014 but the Argentine failed to make an impression during his time at North London and was consequently shipped off to Roma in Italy.
This move has worked well for Fazio, who is now a key figure in the center of the defense for the Rome based side and is currently regarded as one of the top defenders in the game.
Many have praised Fazio over his improvement during this time but the Tottenham flop probably received his best compliment in recent weeks from Argentine legend Gabriel Batistuta, who compared him with some of the best defenders of present and past.
When asked about the toughest defenders he has faced, Batistuta said in a recent interview, “Baresi, Nesta, Maldini, Chamot, Vierchowod. I think it was more difficult to get passed these than the players. Now I like Sergio Ramos, Fazio, Godin, Mascherano, Pique and Varane.”
