On the football field, the strikers who make the goals win the loudest applause （掌声）.

Some think they are the only heroes that can get the top awards.

The Italian footballer Fabio Cannavaro has proved this view wrong. He shows that every player in a match counts. He did this by winning the FIFA Player of the Year award on December 18.

The 33-year-old Cannavaro once helped Italy to get its fourth World Cup title. This time, he competed with two strikers Zine Zidane and Rinaldinho. He finally beat them. A lot of people said this award should have gone to a striker. But Cannavaro has again beaten this view.

Cannavaro learned to play football in a town of Naples, Italy. Later, he became a ball boy at the city’s stadium. That was before he entered the Series A game in his country.

While the Italian football clubs were criticized （批评） because of scandals （流言）, he set a role model by trying his best to do well in every match. It has encouraged other players and given hope to the country’s football spirit.

Cannavaro stands out most for his leadership. As captain of Italy at the World Cup, he knew how to bring out the country’s defensive tradition. A lot of top defenders were born in Italy.
