Cesar is the best FB in the PL at the moment, no doubt. Yes, Brana is exceptional as he defends well and attacks just like any FB, but Cesar has that spark. Luis is a great attacker but is caught out sometimes as he needs to adapt to the PL. Only others from other clubs that are close are Zabaleta and ...... yeah that's about it.
Cesar is one player who has definitely benefited from Mourinho.
Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher think so.
"For technical defending, not making a mistake, not being in the wrong position, not getting caught out… I don’t see [Azpilicueta] making a mistake. And I have to say the Chelsea defenders aren’t far behind him; Gary Cahill, John Terry and Branislav Ivanovic. But Azpilicueta, when I watch him, he’s as near to perfect as possible when it comes to defending; he’s immaculate.-Gary Neville. Source: Sky Sports.
I totally agree. I think those Chelsea players, all of them, they defend properly. We see that in terms of the number of goals they’ve conceded, the clean sheets they keep. Azpilicueta is an out-and-out defender. You very rarely see anybody get the better of him. He’d be my number one [in the league].-Jamie Carragher."
