Cannavaro scoops FIFA World Player of the Year

ZURICH, Dec 18 (Reuters) - Italy's Fabio Cannavaro completed an outstanding year of achievement on Monday when he added FIFA's World Player of the Year crown to the European Footballer of the Year award he won last month.

Cannavaro, who captained his country to victory in the World Cup final in Berlin in July, beat off competition from Brazil's Ronaldinho and retired French great Zinedine Zidane in a vote by national team coaches and skippers.

'It's an unbelievable moment,' said the 33-year-old Real Madrid defender at the awards ceremony inside Zurich's opera house. 'It really has been a golden year.'

Cannavaro ended Ronaldinho's two-year reign as World Player of the Year after he also succeeded the Barcelona playmaker as European Footballer of the Year.

Zidane, who quit after the World Cup, previously won the FIFA award in 1998, 2000 and 2003.

'The competition was scary, it was so strong,' added Cannavaro. 'After winning the World Cup and the European Footballer of the Year award too, I do not think I can ask for anything else.'

Cannavaro is the first defender to win the FIFA award since its inception in 1991.

Only three defensive players have won the European award, Soviet Union goalkeeper Lev Yashin in 1963, West Germany sweeper Franz Beckenbauer (1972, 1976) and Germany libero Matthias Sammer (1996).

'It is not usual for a defender to be sitting alongside Ronaldinho and Zinedine Zidane, who get to do marvellous things all season, so I saw it as a victory just to be here,' Cannavaro said.

The Italian paid particular tribute to Zidane, his predecessor in the number five shirt at Real and a controversial choice on the World Player shortlist following his red card in the World Cup final.

'When I first came to Real everybody asked me what it meant to be wearing the same shirt,' said Cannavaro. 'I can only say now what I said then, it is an honour to wear the same number as such a great player.'

Like Zidane, Cannavaro has been involved in his fair share of controversy this year, not least when he helped Juventus win a second successive Serie A title only for the club to be stripped of the crown and relegated following a probe into alleged match-fixing.

Italy's World Cup success was achieved against the backdrop of that investigation and Cannavaro went into the tournament facing criticism after he defended former Juventus general manager Luciano Moggi, who was at the centre of the allegations.

'I would like to dedicate this award to Italian football,' said Cannavaro on Monday. 'Everyone knows the problems we faced before the World Cup and I hope this award can mark a rebirth for Italian football.'

Ronaldinho was still wearing his trademark grin despite being jet-lagged after flying from Barcelona's Club World Cup final defeat in Japan.

'It is a privilege to be sitting here next to Cannavaro,' said the Brazilian.

'I already feel like a winner because the nomination is a reward for my career so far. Now I just want to help my team and do so in such a way that I can make it to Zurich every year.'

Brazil midfielder Marta was named women's World Player of the Year after finishing third at the 2004 awards and second last year.

The 20-year-old, who scored four semi-final goals to lead Swedish club Umea into next April's UEFA Cup final, beat experienced American Kristine Lilly and Germany playmaker Renate Lingor. Giacinto Facchetti, who died in September, was posthumously given the FIFA Presidential Award.

'We will always remember him as an extraordinary player...but above all as a wonderful person,' said FIFA president Sepp Blatter of the former Inter Milan and Italy defender.

World soccer's governing body gave its annual Fair Play Award to the 2006 World Cup fans in recognition of what it called a 'highly impressive example of unity and understanding between different peoples'.

wuhuuuuuuuu....congrats my fav, cool kapitan...:love::clap:

Fabio Cannavaro, defensive artist

Some players are born to dribble past opponents and score goals. Others, like the recently crowned European player of the year Fabio Cannavaro, were put on this earth to stop them. The young Fabio grew up in the bustling Neapolitan suburb of Fuorigrotta, a stone's throw from San Paolo Stadium, and learnt his trade marshalling defences in the fiercely contested street games that were an everyday part of his childhood. Not surprisingly for someone with 394 Serie A appearances under his belt, Cannavaro has gone on to become an imposing defensive general with an instinctive ability to anticipate play and time tackles to perfection.

A product of the land of catenaccio, he is quite simply one of the world's finest exponents of the defensive arts and the latest in a long line of gifted Italian defenders. Should he claim the coveted prize, he will owe a small debt of gratitude to illustrious predecessors such as the elegant Giacinto Facchetti, who sadly died recently, the incombustible Franco Baresi and the evergreen Paolo Maldini.

Born on 13 September 1973, Cannavaro began his career in Napoli's youth teams at the same time as his hometown club rose to domestic and European prominence. Like his fellow ball boys at the San Paolo, he marvelled at the exploits of Diego Maradona in his pomp. But it was also the ever-dependable Ciro Ferrara, seven years his senior, who Cannavaro looked up to, and before long they would become team-mates and mentor and protege.

Debut for Napoli

Cannavaro made his Serie A bow on 7 March 1993 at the Stade delle Alpi against Juventus, whose famous colours he would one day wear. A 4-3 defeat proved a painful introduction to top-flight football and with Napoli in gradual decline, the fledgling defender had every opportunity to hone his famed mental toughness. With the trophy-laden Maradona era at an end, the southern upstarts were eventually forced to sell their crop of talented youngsters to survive, Cannavaro among them.
And so in 1995 the 22-year-old headed north to join Parma, where he quickly cemented his place in the first team, forming a formidable defensive partnership with fellow new arrival Lilian Thuram.

In a highly successful seven-year sojourn in Emilia-Romagna, the commanding centre-half was an integral part of the side that lifted the Italian Cup, the UEFA Cup and the Italian Super Cup and went so close to claiming the Scudetto. Club success was soon rewarded with international recognition, and he made his Italy debut on 22 January 1997.

French newspaper ??quipe? has named Marcello Lippi Coach of the Year and five Azzurri in its Team of 2006.

The controversy preceding and following the World Cup Final victory in Berlin has made for an uneasy relationship between neighbouring rivals Italy and France.

Nonetheless, with the prestigious Ballon d?r given to Fabio Cannavaro and this latest recognition, it seems Les Bleus are accepting the Azzurri? triumph with good grace.

L?quipe Team of 2006:

Buffon - Zambrotta - Gallas - Cannavaro - Grosso - Deco - Pirlo - Makelele - Ronaldinho - Henry - Eto'o

Coach: Marcello Lippi
