More on Marco Motta

A regular reader (hat tip to Phil) pointed me towards this article in FourFourTwo which serves as an introduction to Marco Motta:

Motta, who began his career as a winger, is a direct, explosive player with a sense of adventure. But the 6ft tall full-back doesn’t shirk defensive duties, relying on wonderful aerial ability and a tough streak. Some consider him calcio’s Sergio Ramos. Thanks to his idol Paolo Maldini, there is little chance of Motta going off the rails should he shine in the World Cup: “Maldini has always been my role model because of the person he is and how he is off the pitch.”
