Lisandro Martinez has impressed for Man Utd by G Nev is getting 'carried away' with Carragher unmoved in his assessment of the Man Utd star. MUFC
“No,” Carragher responded. “I think he’s a good player. I wouldn’t want a centre-back who was 5ft 9″ in my team. I would not.”
“We’ll see,” Carragher added. “We’ve had four games [of Martinez being in form]. You’re getting carried away. If Odegaard scores the opening goal then you’ll be saying he made a mistake. But for a defender to be 5ft 9” and play, never mind in the Premier League, at any level of football, he’s got to be a good player. Because that is not normal.
Carragher then used Bobby Moore and Franco Baresi as small centre-backs who had to be near perfect at other aspects of the game to “compensate” for a lack of height. “I didn’t see Bobby Moore play but Baresi was lightening quick, amazing on the ball, he organised the whole defence and he was still 5ft 9″, 5ft 10”.
