Technical excellence

As we enter the 21st century we can see it has become essential to have a team where all players can play with confidence and technical ability. Top coaches have sought central defenders who wish to play out and develop play through the thirds. Playing ‘out from the back’ has become a popular phrase used by many top coaches and teams.

The modern game, in fact, has become dominated by ball playing defenders; players like Thiago Silva, David Luiz, Sergio Ramos, Vincent Kompany, Mats Hummels, Giorgio Chiellini and Gerard Pique - players who are arguably the best defenders in the modern game. There is a trend to this list, something they all have in common. As well as their ability to defend; to tackle, spoil play and intercept, they are also known for their ability with the ball. Notably, their ability to carry the ball. The modern defender is not just a great passer of the ball, he is adept and confident at running with it.
