description: "Mario Alberto Yepes Díaz is a Colombian former professional footballer who played as a centre-back. He is well known for his time in Paris Saint-Germain, where he was considered to be one of the best defenders at the time, being dubbed by fans as \"Super Mario\". During his time in Italy with Chievo, he earned a reputation in the media as a solid and physical old-fashioned man-marking centre-back, known as a \"stopper\" in Italian football jargon. He served as the captain of the Colombia national team between 2008 and 2014."
