[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Marketable at what level?

Who are the biggest stars of soccer (football) and the highest paid professional players? That seems pretty obvious — it’s the goal scorers and offensive play makers. Not to take anything away from defensive positions or skills, but that’s pretty much the way it is in every sport: basketball, American football, etc. Offense is flashy and the most marketable (with some exceptions, of course).

For the younger players you’re taking about, really strong and smart defenders seem to be rare indeed.[/quote]

Is this true (for young players)? I would think defenders are easily most kids and the wingers/  center mid were less common? [/quote]

not good defenders. Defenders who are as fast as the best wings and strikers, are good enough at tackling (something rarely taught my most coaches) to get the ball away from them and have the foot skills to advance the ball are rare. Even rarer are the ones who have enough feel for the game to know when to participate in the offense and when to drop [/quote]

This...and then find one who is left footed. Left back.[/quote]

True. Marcelo is amazing. Philip Lahm was too. [/quote]
