Internazionale — Best pictures!

Inter Milan’s Brazil international Maicon (pictured) captured the #1 spot in the FTBL ranking of defenders in the Italian Serie A after a goal in the Nerazzurri’s 2:0 away win at lowly Livorno yesterday.

Inter Milan's Brazil internationals Maicon (pictured Left) and Lucio have an excellent opportunity to join the FTBL World Top 23, our list of the world’s top 23 players, after the home game against Palermo tonight in the Serie A.

Internazionale’s Brazilian left-back Maicon (pictured) was part of the team that routed 6th-ranked Genoa 5:0 in Serie A action last Saturday, seemingly putting an end to his recent slump in form.

Genoa defender and Italy international Domenico Criscito (pictured) continued his meteoric rise in FTBL rankings as he helped Italy defeat Georgia 2:0 last Saturday in Tbilisi in World Cup 2010 qualifying.

Chelsea skipper and England international John Terry, the best defender in the FTBL world ranking at the moment, has been rewarded for his loyalty to the Blues with a new contract including a salary boost to 151,000 pounds a week.
