Will this myth ever die.
I know people always post Maldini quotes ignoring he was one the best ever at sliding tackles. This tackling = bad positioning is at least arguable for a CB but how can anyone use that for a full back? I have seen people coming up with "Yeah he makes tackles as he is out of position", which is just nonsense. Fullbacks more often than not are up against tricky wingers one v one, how can FB win the ball without tackling him?
If we take Maldini quotes literally then he was a shit defender who made so many mistakes playing as a fullback.
