People just don't seem to appreciate the defenders who are so good at marking, positioning, and being calm that they don't have to do Ramos' heroic actions. Maldini himself had said that his greatest traits and work came from doing the previous three so well that he didn't need to tackle more often than not. There are players who do their job so well, that it looks easy and unimpressive. Varane is one of those. Kinda like strikers who score tap-ins, the final result looks easy and effortless, however, it requires deep knowledge and reading of the game to get only one of those moments.
