Daniel
Alberto Passarella:
was one of the most commanding sweepers/defenders in World Cup history.
He was the perfect leader for any team, and became captain for both
club and country at an early age, but he was also exceptional in the
air and scored an impressive amount of goals with his head. Indeed,
his scoring record is quite unique for a defender. In 298 matches in
the Argentine league, he scored 99 goals, and in 70 international caps
he scored 22 goals! Of course, the highlight of his career was to win
the World Cup in 1978 on home soil. In Mexico 1986, at 33, he was included
in the squad, but due to injury didn't play a minute in the tournament
Argentina went on to win. In 1989 he retired playing and took over as
national coach for Argentina in 1994, leading them to the quarterfinals
in France 1998.
