I would prefer Juan Jesus to be Our Captain… he already been in the club for years, and he’s improving a lot… he always fight, and he loves this shirt so much… he deserve to wear the armband… and for Rano, he have no single thing to proof that he has the ability to command on the field… lack of concentration, and he have no idea how to boost the team’s mentality…

Regardless of his skills of players, i think yes he is. He has been chosen by Zanetti himself and agreed by all the lads proving he’s worthy enough for the arm band. Unfortunately He’s the most senior player in the team along with naga if im not mistaken.
Yes there are players who has better leadership skills (seemingly) such as vidic, hernanes, ambrossio because they were the captain in their previous club. But they are new guys. Naga? No way. Juan, he’s still unstable and too young for the position, it may creates jelousy or else. Yet he might be the next captain in 2-3 years. Handa? He’s not a leader type. He’s not talking much in the team or dressing room.
Rano still has much to prove to be acknowledge to hold the legacy of Zanetti, but I believe he will earn that as the time goes by. He’s no match to Zanetti’s charisma a leader, but he’s a gentleman as far as I heard about him.
