Why are so many people on this forum fetishising height? Not sure if it’s insecurity or whatever (and I am not aiming this directly at you as it’s a debate I’ve already had on here with someone else), but Cannavaro is one of the best centre backs to have ever played the game and he was 5’9 on a good day. Similarly, Mascherano was one of Pep’s CB’s at Barca and he was perhaps even shorter than Cannavaro.Can anyone explain to me what's special about him? There is nothing there, he is slow, not strong, very short to be a CB . The only reason he plays at all is because he's not Otamendi . He will never be a high-level player
According to a number of different sources on the internet García is 6’0. He isn’t too short to be a CB. If a 5’9 CB can captain his national team to a World Cup and win the ballon d’or in the process (the last CB to have done so) then I don’t see how a 6’0 lad isn’t tall enough to be a CB, no matter what league he plays in.
