@MrTheBojandelija - No problem. If you liked this video and my other stuff I really suggest you pick up the free training guide on my website. It's a great place for players to start realizing how good they can actually be. Follow the featured video on my YouTube channel. Subscribe. Follow the steps exactly. And keep me posted on your progress. I am here to help you become the best player you can possibly be. Let's keep pushing!
@draganfranz - Bold statement. I bet someone would like to argue with that one. Any takers? What position do you play? Are you part of this incredible movement? Are you dedicated to becoming a better footballer?
@TheSoccerEssentials honestly its a testament to his defensive abilities. His mediocrity with his feet are forgotten about by his pure ability to defend and win headers. Unfortunately, I think Thiago Silva healthy shows more promise because he is more complete.
@LocoAsasino - actually nemanja is very good with his feet, he just plays simple all the time. You will rarely see him take more than 2 or 3 touches on the ball. He knows his main priority is to defend the goal and if you ask me he is one of the best at doing that. What do you think?
@LocoAsasino his the best at defending he always pass the ball quick so his team mates can attack all the time. as for a great center back they dont always have to go foward, vidic scores more goals then your great center backs from corners!
@thenjay87 - Semi Professional Football. Who do you play for? Have you read the Free Training Guide on my website yet? Follow the featured video on my channel. Great place for players to start finding out more about themselves and tapping into their full potential.
@coolwygis - Ya too often! Some players are just prone to injury. Personally I believe in most situations, it is due to lack of proper care for their body.
@rawr4372 - Mm hm. I think you will find players who are willing to put their life on the line and go hard in tackles don't usually get injured that way, it's the players who go in light on tackles that usually end up getting bad injuries. Go in hard! You know what I am saying?
ahh I forgot to say it, u forgot something at this video, nemanja is also a great head scorer well u say he is winning header of course he is but I love his head goals, he is really dangerous at corner kicks ;) great video
@franxute44 - Yes he is and a great example for defenders coming up for corners. You have to want the ball and be willing to sacrifice your body to get in front of your marker. What position do you play?
hey man GREAT video, I play at central back at real life and nemanja is my best inspiration, of course Im a red devil, I love his playing so this video helped me a lot, keep working at this videos! now I will see that one u made from puyol ;P .
Great video. I'm glad that one of my friends/subscribers (ElijahEvansFreestyle) shared it.
My 6 year old is extremely skilled (as skilled as anyone I've ever seen, including Madin at that age). But he still has so much to learn about defending. These types of videos will enable me to teach him some defensive tactics when he gets old enough to understand in a fun way. It's always nice to see the best of the best do it. And using Vidic (we are United supporters) was just a huge plus!
@ElijahEvansFreestyle Please be patient. I have it on my To Do List but have over 50 player videos to do. Thanks for the comment. Who is your favorite player?
watch?v=qO2Qij2aI8M Tell those defenders what would have happened if they wouldn't have cleared the ball. DEFENDER, not peppy chop chop technical, get too technical in the back against Barcelona? then what happens? exactly. Get real Defenders like Cannavaro,Maldini,Nesta,Sergio Ramos. Defender's aren't there to be beautiful in the back.
@NearsL - You are right they are not. But they are meant to be skilled and smart. They have to know when to play beautfiul and when to play ruthless. That is a good defender. Are you a defender?
@TheSoccerEssentials yes,you are right they are meant to do that now'a days like you said since the game has changed they must be more like Nemanja. like Puyol before Pep stayed in the back,etc. I've seen Puyol attacking more etc. and yes I am, touching more the ball is something I have to do!
@NearsL you madrid faggot your only good because of ronaldo and hell be back at united soon ,madrid arent even that good they only won the champions leauge so many times because of the munich disaster FACT the spanish leauge is pathetic
@111111111111111111uk Um,yeah you're on my dick when clearly no one outside the Ligabbva can even beat Madrid or Barca, suck me on that you fuck. Get a LIFE. and no sir, no Fact in no damn Munich Disaster, FACT is the team was amazing,period. Fuck Off
Amazing defenders would be Cannavaro,Maldini,or Nesta. Defenders as a final chance,must do it. First thing is first,the goalie. the virgin goal net that still holds a 0-3 vs the whore. tell that to these amazing defenders, watch?v=qO2Qij2aI8M
Hey, i have decided to be a center back, but do i like NEED to be tall?? I'm quite good at jumping, and i mostly win the ball. But when its at a higher level, do i NEED to be tall??? Thanks.
@KingsnazurClick - You don't have to be tall. It does help in certain situations but it is not necessary as long as you are good at positioning and can win headers against taller opposition. Can you do that?
@TheSoccerEssentials When i am running if someone gives me a shoulder push i lose my balance and i try not lose my touch on the ball but i just fall to the other direction.Can you help me?
@alvinabraham97 - Seems like oyu need to improve your strength and balance. Are you doing any strength conditioning exercises at the moment? Also are you pushing players back (not fouling but protecting the ball and yourself) or are you letting yourself get pushed around?
Thanks for creating this, it's tremendously helpful. It was great to hear you point out specifics and then see footage of it in action. Your replies to comments and email tips are really helpful and provide solid insight.

im a Left Full back and im really offensive but that does so my teams defence isnt so REALLY good we have REALLY good defenders but on the left side its empty and im not faster then the most players any tips?? right now im just training at my speed is that good ??
@Halamadrid1210 - Okay I have it on my To Do List. Please be patient, I already have over 50 requests for different players. Thanks for the great comment. Have you picked up the Free Training Guide yet?
hey Dylan, plz tell me that how can you develop your game intelligence....i am very weak in tactics, dont know sometimes that what to do with da ball, and where to go and find open spaces to receive passes... i really wanna improve this thing....
i also watch soccer matches and compilations on soccer players...
@rome9ro - Romero you haven't sent me a message? Still waiting. Send it to my INBOX so I can write longer messages - tell me about your issue in more detail. Waiting upon your response.
@TheSoccerEssentials well that would be a red card but they will score on you though!I had to learn it the tough way and I play cm,dm, and rwb,lwb,am.
@DemonXtar - Hah definitely. It's his presence on the pitch. He makes you think when the ball is at your feet. That's what good defenders have the ability to do. You should make the attacker nervous and scared when you are approaching. That comes from knowing in your mind that you are going to win that ball and there is no way he/she is going to get past you. You know what I mean?
Can you do a vid about wingers on the midfield that must defense and attack. Like young and nani and robben ribery di maria. I hope you understand what i mean. Thanks like ur videos
@moekoe3 - Yes I do understand. I will put it on my To Do List. Please be patient. I already have over 30 players to do. Thanks for the ideas. Who is your favorite winger?
@Metin2Creatus - I will put it on my To Do List. Please be patient. I already have over 30 players to do. Thanks for the ideas. Is that your favorite player?
@pksc6 watch how they play. when they pass and where the decide to put the ball when they get possession. Anyone can learn a lot if you watch how both teams play the game instead of just watching the game. that is just my advice and what i personally do.
@pksc6 - Watch specific players. Watch what they do both on and off the ball. The biggest thing is to keep watching and really looking at the specific touches and movements the players make. The more you watch, the more you will understand what I'm talking about. If your a young Soccer player you may not realize the quality of every touch and movement. Biggest thing. Just keep watching! How many games do you watch per week?
@bigmessifanvs - Smarts. Speed. Purpose. Have you watched my Andres Iniesta analysis? There is a good part in there about effective dribbling. Go to my channel and search - Iniesta
@IWakeUpToSweat - I know its easy to hate Man U because everyone likes them (especially people who don't know much about Football just say they like Man U). But you have to respect the way they play. They are in the top class of modern day Football. Would you agree?
@nathands123 - Yep but hes back in the ranks again and ready to impress. Well see if he can help United retain their title. City looks pretty dangerous these days. What do you think?
@imarus21 - I will put it on my To Do List. Please be patient. I already have over 30 players to do. Thanks for the ideas. Who is your favorite player?
thanks a lot dylan, I've always looked up do vidic and puyol but I never really noticed what made them so good, and you pointed it out to me :) could you make a video about john terry? he, puyol, and vidic are my three role models that I love to learn from
@TheSoccerEssentials Cool thanks. I'll have to look it up. Great video series by the way. Im a striker so i loved the C Ronaldo and Neymar analyses but these most recent ones are just as helpful to me. Thanks for the great content.
@AdamTheCtor - Much appreciated. And I know what you mean. It makes you think twice when you have a defender like that on your ass. Thanks for the great comment.
thank you so much! i've been wondering what i could do to improve myself as a defender. my coach always tells me to clear the ball but i know that option wont always work.
@GardianV3v - Ya that's one of the sad things of Youth Football. Poor information from so called "coaches". Unless you have to clear your lines to relieve pressure or stop a goal try to play in a creative effective way. But definitely don't be foolish on the ball, especially if you are the last man back. 2 touch. Have you picked up the Free Training Guide?
I wanna try out for ODP and I need you to make a video with some tips on how to look really good with the ball and how to impress coaches really well.
@IWakeUpToSweat - Exactly. Even as a center back there are times to get on the ball and dribble (effectively) but most of the time you should be looking to play quick two touch. You are not on the field to show off. You are there to protect your team and start attacks.
@soldierkiller29 - Did you get my weekly newsletter? I just put out a helpful article on that. Also go to my website and type in the search bar - How To Prepare For Soccer Tryout - in that are tips of how you can impress on trial day. Does that help?

@pksc6 watch how they play. when they pass and where the decide to put the ball when they get possession. Anyone can learn a lot if you watch how both teams play the game instead of just watching the game. that is just my advice and what i personally do.

@tehcucumber223 - Yes very good points. Thank you for this good advice. How many games do you watch per week?

@pksc6 - Watch specific players. Watch what they do both on and off the ball. The biggest thing is to keep watching and really looking at the specific touches and movements the players make. The more you watch, the more you will understand what I'm talking about. If your a young Soccer player you may not realize the quality of every touch and movement. Biggest thing. Just keep watching! How many games do you watch per week?

@bigmessifanvs - Smarts. Speed. Purpose. Have you watched my Andres Iniesta analysis? There is a good part in there about effective dribbling. Go to my channel and search - Iniesta

@HeavensMadManPro - No problem. Thanks for watching. I would say best defender in England (center back at least) for last 3-4 years. Would you agree?
TheSoccerEssentials 1 month ago
@TheSoccerEssentials I think I do agree with you. He looks scary to face hahah. Lucky that I'm a defender as well.
HeavensMadManPro 1 month ago
@HeavensMadManPro - Definitely. Defenders still have to get forward though. What position do you play exactly?
TheSoccerEssentials 1 month ago
@TheSoccerEssentials I'm a left full-back. I like that position, I've played there since I can remember.

Great video man
Vidic is the best center back..... I misss seeing him play for United, because of his injury :(

@nathands123 Same, I'm not a ManU fan either.

@IWakeUpToSweat - I know its easy to hate Man U because everyone likes them (especially people who don't know much about Football just say they like Man U). But you have to respect the way they play. They are in the top class of modern day Football. Would you agree?

@IWakeUpToSweat I am a die hard Man United fan
nathands123 1 month ago
@nathands123 - Yep but hes back in the ranks again and ready to impress. Well see if he can help United retain their title. City looks pretty dangerous these days. What do you think?
TheSoccerEssentials 1 month ago
@TheSoccerEssentials He's out for the full season :( Im a United fan and am missing him........ But when he plays United dont concede much

Thanks for the video. Can you do one of these videos based upon a defensive midfielder eg Busquets, Scott Parker, Mascherano.

@cmanslash - Honestly, I tried to do Terry but I could not find any quality footage of him on YouTube every video was like 240 p.
Do you have any other good center backs in mind?

@TheSoccerEssentials Cool thanks. I'll have to look it up. Great video series by the way. Im a striker so i loved the C Ronaldo and Neymar analyses but these most recent ones are just as helpful to me. Thanks for the great content.
SourNippls 1 month ago
This guy is honestly terrifying. I can not imagine trying to hang onto the ball with him that close. Wow.
I'll have to watch more of this guy when I get a chance, and most definitely try to defend closer. As always Dylan, thanks for making this video.
Liked, Commented, and Favorited. :)

@AdamTheCtor - Much appreciated. And I know what you mean. It makes you think twice when you have a defender like that on your ass. Thanks for the great comment.

thank you so much! i've been wondering what i could do to improve myself as a defender. my coach always tells me to clear the ball but i know that option wont always work.
GardianV3v 1 month ago
@GardianV3v - Ya that's one of the sad things of Youth Football. Poor information from so called "coaches". Unless you have to clear your lines to relieve pressure or stop a goal try to play in a creative effective way. But definitely don't be foolish on the ball, especially if you are the last man back. 2 touch. Have you picked up the Free Training Guide?

I wanna try out for ODP and I need you to make a video with some tips on how to look really good with the ball and how to impress coaches really well.
soldierkiller29 1 month ago
@soldierkiller29 TALK ALOT. That't very important, and don't try to "look good on the ball" just pass and play your position well.
IWakeUpToSweat 1 month ago
@IWakeUpToSweat - Exactly. Even as a center back there are times to get on the ball and dribble (effectively) but most of the time you should be looking to play quick two touch. You are not on the field to show off. You are there to protect your team and start attacks.

@soldierkiller29 - Did you get my weekly newsletter? I just put out a helpful article on that. Also go to my website and type in the search bar - How To Prepare For Soccer Tryout - in that are tips of how you can impress on trial day. Does that help?

I mean by he is never afraid to do something risky and go's for the ball without thinking or hesitating
TheIsmet914 1 month ago
@TheIsmet914 - Exactly. If you hesitate you lose. Just go for it. Believe in yourself. Does that make sense?
TheSoccerEssentials 1 month ago
What I learned is vidic always fights for the ball and not the player and doesn't care about getting injured
TheIsmet914 1 month ago
@TheIsmet914 - He is ruthless and a warrior. He's a great defender. Are you a defender?
