Milan Wins it All; Maldini Best Defender, Kaka Best Player &...

[VivaItalia]

'Special place'
Brazil hat-trick 'Learning and improving' Maldini honour
Maldini was crowned Best Defender after his 22nd campaign as a Milan player ended with him lifting club football's most prestigious trophy for a fifth time. He may now be 39 and the oldest winner of such an award, but he promised more to come, saying: "We've been the best team in Italy, Europe and the world over the past 20 years. And the cycle hasn't ended yet." Čech, meanwhile, came top in the goalkeeping category for the second time in three years despite missing three months of the 2006/07 campaign after suffering a fractured skull. The Chelsea FC No1 recently kept his 100th league clean sheet and was named the the best player in the Czech Republic for the third successive year.

cannavaro won fifa player of the year.... but when you look at him play do you honestly see the best player in the world? hell no. theres way better attacking players who deserve it. defending is easy thats why defenders hardly win it.
