Center back is the only thing I can do. I'm 19 and have been playing for like 2-3 years. Since I was a beginner, they only put me in defense to run at the opposition to create pressure. I started loving it and got really good at it. I am not that much of a dribbler but can steal and clear the ball well.
Nothing better than a crunching tackle early to put the glory hunters in two minds.......I know i have done my job as a stopper when the striker wants to punch the shit out of you.
There is not a better feeling in football than completeley owning an attacker who thinks he's the most skillful and talented player on his team and completely shutting him down
I enjoy stealing the ball from my enemies, I like to watch them fall and roll on the floor, unable to do something. At first they curse you but after a few tackles they become sad and desperate. If you do your job well you will observe them with a smile on your face as they fall into their knees and cry like babies at the end of the match. No one will think you are the most valuable player but you don't do it for personal glory, you do it for the glory of the team.
During school, I act as a nice, average body built, teenager who wouldn't hurt a fly.
During a football match, as a defender of course, I have complete and utter freedom to hit any players I want, especially those idiots who think they're so cool and pro at dribbling. I personally love being a defender because I always shoulder tackle players to the ground and simply walk away LIKE A BAOWS!
when you say football people immediately think of amazing goals and impossible shots or any kind of attack but i think that defending is really difficult i play in the middle of the field but i've played in defense for 4 years in my team and it was absolutely awesome the difference from attack to defence is that instead of making goals you just save them and you feel a greater sense of accomplishment :D
It really isn't pretty but I think that it'll be really useful alot of times I thought if I only I would've slide tackled that I could've saved it, hopefully if I practice it alot I can do it really well.
@Marcinjan1 actually thats not true, if the tackle is classed as dangerous, but you get the ball, then the man, the ref usually lets it go, then warns the play to keep his studs down/use one foot/dont come from behind, at half time or full time, or any stoppage. *FOOTBALL is about crunching tackles, hard work, commitment, more crunching tackles, more hard work and more commitment. you obviously have not dont a refereeing course
Alot of these tackles are fouls.This not what soccer is about. When you tackle and make contact with attacker its a foul. It does not matter if it was before or after you got the ball.
It's too ironic that a lot of these would now get straight reds in what it meant to be: The Best League In The World. It's the most profitable for foreign owners, I don't see it holding onto the title as the best much longer.
They key part in the whole team is everyone but being a defender my self, I honestly know how hard it is.Some players come at you with speed so you have to make the right tackle or your off with a red card.Some players come at you with skill and it is very hard to put a foot in or you might trip the player over and then you have a free kick to defend and some players just cross the ball in and when the ball comes in the box and its in the air you have to be ready and look big.
This is pretty bad.......the ''art of defense'' without one clip of Vidic,Cannavaro,Baresi,McGrath,Adams. I dunno what goalkeepers were doing in this either.......
I Love to play in the Defense, i play for 11 years now, im 17 and i play defense since im 7. Its soo a nice feeling to destroy the others chances with nice tackles, and then the try it with new tricks but they fail al the time :D That gives me such a nice feeling as a defender xD uuh damn then they get Frustrated and try to tackle when i steal the ball from then, but at this they fail more tne at make some pussy tricks xDD
@Maninboxers hmm.... i would say positioning and reading the game is there best weapon, slide tackling is there last resort. If your a good defender it wouldn't get to that.
I disagree. I believe slide tackling is an art form, rather than a last resort. A good defender should have, in my opinion, accurate slide tackling ability. Secondly, I think it would be extremely difficult to be able to position yourself perfectly and be that intelligent over 90 mins at the pace football is played these days, depending on the league of course. In other words, your gonna get found out at some point in the fast leagues and slide tackling may help if this is the case.
i watch this vid before all my matches now and it shows that footballs not all about fancy tricks it about the defenders saving the goalkeepers arse!!!!
defenders often dont get alotta praise its harder to be a defender than it is to be a striker because of all the paitence knowledge posistioning needed, one untimed tackle can lead to a pen, not running out to the passing threat at the right timing can lead to a goal, when striker is dazzling the defender with footwork and they must place that foot in well timed. when u watch world class defenders like puyol and the duo of vidic and ferdinand they take defending to an art form
@justiceisheregoogle Actually most of them got the ball first, so they are legal. But because of the stupidity of referees today, a lot of them would have been called as fouls, especially with the types of referees that they tend to have in world cups now, they're the worst.
@Roufelos ya but gk more bec when i was young i was a bad very bad sucking goal keeper okay? .. some one shooted the ball igot it but i keept on the ground 1 sec all was on my to get the ball phew i was still alive xD
man i'm a ref and i wish young players and coaches and parents understood that went it comes to slide tackles as long as the tackler gets ball first and both feet r parallel to the ground, the slide tacle is legal
I'm a striker, and nothing is better than a defender playing dirty, it means the defance cant handle me, its just when defenders make perfect tackles i get annoyed and i loose my concentration on the game..
