Why not? He's an absolutly brilliant defender.
Are people so mentally scarred by that 5 minute youtube video?
That Zidane rubbish aside, he played a massive part in Italy winning the world cup both defence and attacking wise (He holds the record in Italy for the most goals in a season by a defender). He makes a few nasty tackles and is an out and out WUM but its all in the game as far as I'm concerned.
If people can get past their dislike of the person they can surley accept he is a top class defender.
