Do I want to be the best defender in Europe? Of course. Any defender will tell you that - who wouldn't want to be the best?
I've always liked taking the ball out of defence and I will carry on doing that but at the end of the day I'm a defender, and that's what I want to be known as - a defender, getting in the blocks and the headers that people don't recognise I do, the dirty stuff that every defender should do and should be good at.
As a competitor, you always want to go against the best, so whoever guards me, I'm hoping it's the best defender from the other team.
I was really good, I had a coach who said to me, 'If you want to be a top player, you will need to play as a central defender. If you want to be a good player, you will be a midfielder.' I think he was wrong but, maybe as a central defender, I could be much better, I don't know!
It could be the best defender or the worst defender. I have to have the attitude that I don't think anyone is going to deter me from getting to the basket. Maybe help defense can come over and affect it, but not the first guy.
Usually I've had two jobs: be the best defender and the best scorer.
The Queen of England is Defender of the Faith but the President of the United States is Defender of the Constitution, which defends all faiths.
I'm a defender first and foremost, and if I'm playing right centre-half, I am even more of a defender than the wing-backs.
Baresi was not tall but he was a great player, while Cannavaro was the best defender in the world - hopefully I will be the same.
When I played, I just wanted to guard the best player, and I didn't want him to score. That was just it, just competing. Along the way, it just kept building that I could be a great defender.
Best defender I have played against? Carles Puyol
Sergio Ramos has everything to become the best defender in the world, if he is not already.
For me, Thiago Silva remains the best defender in the world.
Sergio Ramos is the best defender in the world, but it's not just me saying this.
Paolo Maldini never won, but he was the best defender in the world. Gianluigi Buffon never won; he was the best goalkeeper in the world for many years. But this is the story of the Ballon d'Or.
Ashley Cole is a fantastic defender. I have seen him keep the best players in the world quiet.
It's a tough situation as a defender to be put in. I understand what they're doing trying to protect quarterbacks. I've been on the receiving end of a few of those where you appreciate them trying to take care of you a little bit, but I do see the conflict that it puts a defender in.
