Cristian Chivu — Career, News and Analysis

Cristian Chivu has one of the cleaner defensive careers you can point to in European football. A left-footed centre-back who could also play left-back, Chivu combined reading of the game with neat passing and a calm presence under pressure. He rose through Romanian youth football, starred at Ajax, moved to Roma, and won the Champions League with Inter Milan in 2010. Fans remember his tactical intelligence, set-piece threat, and leadership.
