Cannavaro, majestic as he was, was a master of the dark arts. All the great Italian defenders were/are, with the excpetion of Maldini. The rest of them will pull your balls if needs be.
Yeah, Baresi was a fair play kind of dude. But he'd hurt you if he had to. He came from an era of men kicking men. Franco would be sent off so often in the modern game, what with players and refs being what they are now. But as Cattle points out, it's the assaults that make Pepe the cunt he is. He'd have gotten sent off for that shit 30 years ago.
I was baout to post the same thing til I realised you already did. Being a "master" of the dark arts means performing them successfully. I.e not getting caught. In that regard Pepe and Ramos are novices.
