It's very much about defense, also.
So much praised Buffon, who's really the best one out there, owes big part of his success to the defenders in front of him.
He had Cannavaro and Thuram in Parma. He had the same duo together with Zambrotta in Juve, and he has Cannavaro-Nesta in the National Team.
But when he had old Ferrara and Montero, mistake prone Legrotiagllie and in bad form Iuliano, he conceded more than 60 goals in total in season 2003/04, which is 20-25 goals more than he was conceding every other season before and after.
