Was he better than his modern counter parts like Marcelo, Roberto Carlos, Cafu, Jorginho, Leanardo, Junior, Maicon and Alves?
Who are the best Brazilian full back purely defensive wise?

 

[JCamilo]

Being Better than Marcelo is easy. Almost every medium full back is.

Nelinho up there with the likes of Junior, Leandro, Cafu, Jorginho. Not good enough as the two best Djalma Santos and Carlos Alberto.

Defensively, Djalma Santos.

daniel alves is not a great brazilian full back... maybe for barcelona not for brazil.
