muhammad harraz im sometimes LB sometimes RB sometimes CB xD

[@masoudmontazerijouybari4730]

Very good tips. One more tip, which is not very technical but very important, defend with your hearts! Like those Italian defenders, like you are the last warrior that the opponent needs to get through.. Have confidence in your defending, it is a natural skill, unlike attacking.. Defending is the heavy-load work of soccer, the bloody work, it is the job of hard and rough guys who have strong warrior hearts... Look at Godin... I'm a forward or midfield player but i've played defense a few times, and it turned out really fun once I put the mindset and accepted my role as a defender...Defense is the backbone of the team...without defense you will always lose.. Be that wall!

[@karakymoussa341]

Masoud Montazeri Jouybari very nice 👍👍

[@falconguy4335]

Basically my story i wasn't doing to great until i actually accepted my role and just stayed in the mindset that my team needs me and that if i don't try my best we will be weak (right now i'm a lonewolf at defense and need to teach some techniques to the other guys but i'm still able to carry the defense all on my back)

[@tatortot5753]

How you write so long?

WOW well said

[@malte457]

I'm a bench warmer, thanks anyway.

[@justvibing7774]

Left bench. If I'm lucky center it has a comfy cushion and an armrest

[@justvibing7774]

+Malte man that's my dream job

[@ProgressiveSoccer]

The only reason you are a bench warmer is because you have accepted it. Watch this video and change your mentality: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e2PJh4FrrbqJmbM

[@shaunakdeshpande8722]

+ProgressiveSoccer you have videos for almost everything huh?

[@rexthepekingese5435]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@ProgressiveSoccer]

Please, take pride in your defending. The best thing you can do if you want to get better at defending is.... ENJOY IT! Look for opportunities to defend and enjoy doing it. Enjoy making tackles, blocking shots, and driving opponents crazy!

[@ashleighmtz]

Thank you so much for this video. There are rarely any videos regarding defenders. Keep up with the good work.

[@ProgressiveSoccer]

Happy to help! Thank you for following me.

[@cianevans7497]

DYLAN BYRNE yess

[@comedianegan6911]

I'm a left-wing back

[@reynaldotellez6702]

As a defensive player, I learned about how to attack. I figured out what the best way to get past a defender because I was one and that helped me learn how to play offense. A tip is to notice the direction of the hips of the defender. As an attacking player, you want to go the opposite way of the defender's hips because this is the way that he will take the most time to get in position after reacting.

[@simpleduck9799]

OMG I’m trying out for soccer as a defender and this makes so much sense!!! Here I am looking for how to become a good defender while the opposite team’s offense is looking for how to become a good offender. And if I figure out the offense’s tricks, I can take advantage of the situation. Thanks!!!!!!!!

[@ikhwanariff2562]

Nope, just hold the X + R2 button. Ur good to go 👌

[@razzbarry6591]

Thanks bro 👌

[@hamzakhan8021]

Thanks dwah

Thanks man👌😂😂

[@richyungen7230]

[@TonyDaExpert]

Aggressive defenders are the bed because then I can have the most fun! Unlike lazy defenders which is boring

[@TonyDaExpert]

Best*

[@pukebrittney8590]

I agree, when I'm. defending I get very aggressive so the opponent I'm taking the ball from don't have time to think and mess up which gives you a better chance of taking the ball

[@lapzkidowski999]

+DylanTekkerz i try to be aggressive like pushing my opponent using my shoulder, the opponent pushes me so hard using his hands :(

[@lapzkidowski999]

Boo lol i dont wanna start a fight

[@Zigzagminecraft1010]

TonyDaExpert il nutz u

[@tomytmptheminecraftplayer9579]

Hey, Thanks alot bro i was suck at defending but after i watched this video i become the greatest defender (not really i think). My teacher just set me to captain. Thanks alot!

[@aseelb8024]

TomyTMP TheMinecraftPlayer go play minecraft bitch you have nothing to do with football

[@hayden6690]

IHave NoName Sheese take a chill pill

[@mikeymousesfirstwordwashot3201]

IHave NoName So people who play a certain game cant play a sport they like?

[@decidev]

Ousmane Dembele He has Minecraft in his name so apparently that means he can’t play football. Wow. Just wow **Slow Clap**

[@TheBoneytoes]

This video is very well made- you do an excellent job of simplifying some very important fundamentals. They also happen to be the very skills that my 9 y/o needs to work on. It's great to have such a thorough 5 minute video available to watch over and over while we drill these things a few times/week. Would love to see more videos like this!

[@dacushion]

"Don't be flat footed" Well shit guess I can't play soccer then

[@shujaman7868]

flat footed army!

[@5thhour826]

*football :)

[@lexabusch]

[@foggy2982]

Matthew Henderson football is British English and soccer is American English, football in the usa is another sport

[@faramund9865]

You can learn to walk on your forefeet when defending.

[@sezzie01]

Thanks for the video!! You've outlined all the things I was doing wrong (which was pretty much everything lol). Looking forward to trying out some of these new techniques in my game tomorrow :)

[@michaelmoyer7929]

Glad I found this video! I usually play goalkeeper, but I'll be playing defense for the first time in a game today. Helpful tips!

[@nithinrobert2967]

Thanks for the tip. It's very useful. Please give more tips to improve defending skills.

Great instruction. Most non contact ACL injuries in soccer happen while defending. Your tips of staying low, light on your feet, etc..., go a long way toward preventing these types of injuries.

Great video Dylan! This season I think I'm going to be playing a lot of center back even though I've mainly played winger/Striker all my career. I'm fast and physical but not great at defending so this will be very beneficial!
