	Franco Baresi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Franco Baresi (born May 8, 1960 in Travagliato, province of Brescia) is an Italian youth team coach and former football defender with A.C. Milan, acknowledged as one of the greatest defenders ever to play the game.
		Baresi led the AC Milan team and its defense for the best part of a decade; a period during which Milan's defense was considered by many observers to be the best back four in history consisting of Paolo Maldini, Alessandro Costacurta and Mauro Tassotti.
		On March 4, 2004, at a gala ceremony in London, to mark the 100th anniversary of the foundation of the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA), the international governing body of football revealed the FIFA 100.

		No country appreciates the beauty of defending more than Italy, and in Franco Baresi the nation was blessed with one of the greatest practitioners of the art.
		In 1990 Italy was riding high on the back of AC Milan's back-to-back European Cups, and Baresi was typically immaculate at the defensive heart of a team that swept to the semifinals without conceding a goal, only to crash out to Argentina on penalties.
		Baresi was outstanding, keeping Romario and Bebeto quiet for 120 minutes, only to miss the first penalty in another shootout defeat.

		It may not be a knee-slapper, but anybody who knows Baresi even just a little bit will find more than a grain of truth, for Fulham's new director of football is one of the most taciturn men in football.
		Baresi's experience, with 760 matches for AC Milan, three European Cups, six Serie A titles, 81 caps and a World Cup final lost on penalties is obviously a huge asset to any club.
		The image of Baresi, who rarely showed emotion beyond his trademark boyish grin, crying his eyes out on the Rose Bowl pitch is one of the enduring memories of that competition.

		I was talking about how Baresi was the leader of the that team that marked an era in the 80s and 90s.
		Two greats of the game, imo Baresi is only eclipsed by Beckenbauer in the art of defending, and eveb that is only by a small margin.
		i've only seen a few clips of baresi so i guess i couldn't have a fair opinion but maldini at his prime was the fastest, strongest, most intelligent, most versatile defender i've seen in my life time and also the most perfect tackling technique i've seen in my life time.
