[quote=Anonymous]Yeah, there is physicality, height, endurance, etc. but for me the most important quality that the bets defenders have is the ability to read the game. They have soccer intelligence. When they look up the field they can see the danger, not just the imminent danger, but the potential danger in the next two or three phases of the game. And then they get themselves and their team mates into the right position to deal with it. When you watch a defender at the top of their game they make it look effortless. So a good defender needs to be intelligent. They also need to be an excellent communicator, as they need to organize the defense and midfield. Often in the kids games defenders are looked down on as the kids who can’t score. Totally wrong. It is a tremendous position to play.[/quote]
