Predicted Rating 89 Milan fans will surely be delighted by the news that club legend Franco Baresi has been honoured as a Legend of the sport by EA. Baresi spent his entire, incredible career at Milan for two-decades (as well as an additional five years there at youth level) during which time he created a legacy as one of the greatest defenders of all-time. Baresi captained the side for fifteen seasons and played alongside the likes of Maldini, Costacurta, Tassotti and Panucci to create arguably the most solid defensive unit in Europe. Following from the example of Franz Beckenbauer over in Germany, Baresi was one of footballs early sweepers and used his athleticism and mental attributes to read the game and gallop across the pitch to take care of any long balls going beyond the centre backs. Despite being a comparatively diminutive 59 tall, Baresi was known for his strength, tenacity and his ultra-reliable tackling. Expect Baresis positioning and interception statistics on FIFA 15 to be ridiculously high, perhaps even approaching 99. He is bound to be responsible for frustrating your opponents forwards time and time again when FIFA 15 hits store shelves in September.
