Scored 7-1, Dante is the highlight of a defense that hasn’t been leaked for two months

Despite the PSG be doing its part and leading the French Championship again, the Nice has been surprising, mainly with its defensive performance, where the Brazilian has Dante as the main highlight. Already 40 years old, the veteran has been commanding the team’s defense, which has not been leaked for more than two months.

It’s been exactly 76 days without Nice conceding a goal, with Dante as the main name in the sector, in addition to being the team’s captain. The team occupies second place in the national championship, but is the only one undefeated after the first 13 rounds, being just one point behind the team from the French capital.

Nice have one of the best defenses in Europe, and defender Dante, 40, leads the formation.

It’s a shame that he was marked by “knowing the Germans well” when, in fact, he was always a good player. pic.twitter.com/cHEarQSX6z

It is worth remembering that Dante was marked by Brazil’s 7-1 defeat to Germany in the 2014 World Cup, as he was a starter in the fateful game. Reserve for the campaign, the defender came in to replace the suspended player Thiago Silvabut ended up having a disastrous performance, along with all his teammates.

The player has been at Nice since 2016, without many spotlights since his last call-up to the Brazilian team, in 2014. At the time he was defending the Bayern Munchenbut shortly after the defeat he transferred to Wolfsburgwhere it stayed until arriving in France and consolidating itself once again in the scene of a European league.
