Is the art of defendng becoming lost to football?


Recommended Posts

Just the style of football that's being pushed now a days leaves defenders fairly open to attack. 

A lot of teams have aggressive play styles with full backs coming up the pitch more often than not leaving CBs exposed. and with the speed of wingers now they're typically left in the dust.

Very much so when people think that Ramos is the best defender in the world now. That's how far the standard has fallen. 10-15 years ago he wouldn't even get in the top 100. The game has changed too much in favour for the attacker now.

Ramos wouldn't have got in the top 100 ....holy fuck! He made his debut for Spain when he was 19 ,the youngest in 55 years he was named on both UEFA and FIFA teams of the year in 2008 he broke the Spanish record for a transfer of a teenager in 2005. Ancelotti has stated he is nearly as good as Maldini,but then again what would he know!

Too much wanting to play out of trouble in dangerous areas these days. There was nothing wrong with playing a few direct balls for the forwards to chase down if nothing else was on. Now a forward spits the dummy out if he doesn't get the perfect pass and refuses to chase things down
