NFL Fan REACTS to The Art of Defending in Football ⚽ 🔥

[@kian72olner]

Paolo Maldini is easily the greatest defender of all time. He’s the best left back of all time and genuinely may even be the best centre back of all time. He was a left back predominantly during his career but as he got older, he was moved more central and he hadn’t lost it. He was still unbelievable. Interceptions, blocks, tackles. He was immense at it all.

[@rihaan4619]

Period. Winning UCL at 38 being a defender and the captain is no joke. The Greatest Defender of all time and one of the greatest footballers ever.

[@pauljones77]

Although I agree he is the best, I wouldn’t say ‘easily’ 😂

[@romanoonamor7690]

The defender who "wasted" Messi is Nesta. A legend. One of very best defenders ever, and one of the 3 with the most class. He played for Milan AC (amongst others), where 2 other legends played: Maldini and Baresi (all 3 are well represented in the video)

[@DjDown1984]

Baresi, greatest cb ever imo

There was a time where Milan had Maldini, Nesta and the hugely underrated Costacurta at the same time.

[@pietroperetti1056]

7:05 That was a 36 year old Nesta against a 24 year old prime Messi. Absolutly majestic!

[@_youryen]

Fun fact: the first tackle on the video, Philipp Lahm, did not receive a single red card his entire career despite playing as a fullback and later on as a defensive mid. He also captained Bayern Munich to a Champions League win in 2013 an Germany to a World Cup win in 2014.

[@ahsenserhat9270]

He also scored at additional time against Turkey in 2008 Euro semi-finals. Match ended 3-2. It still hurts me as a Turk. But we knew that we witnessed one of the goats of the game at that night so it's not that bad.

Yes good defending is making a spectaculair tackle. Great defending is just preventing the opponent to create something by control of space and time. It's all about being at the right spot on the right time. Van Dijk is a great example of this: he has such great spatial awareness that he knows how to shut down an opponent without going to the ground.

It's really interesting to see how your knowledge is growing. First videos you reacted, you just sit calm and watch "some highlights" without any emotions. Now, you know what you are watching. You are able to appreciate what you see on these highlights.

[@fjveca]

you should absolutely watch Raymar's video on how good was Paolo Maldini, sometimes considered the best defense to have played in the game ever, he completely modernized how the defense is played to be more preemptive rather than reactive

[@sabineworner5202]

You should look at Philip Lahm, he was one of the best defenders of all time. He never got a red card.

[@gunnar4915]

You should check out Maldini(Centre-back) and Philip Lahm(Right-back) they’re both the best players in their respective positions ever imo

[@tobysfather411]

Love how fascinated you are by defending, it’s definitely a beauty to watch! Italy are known for producing amazing and elegant defenders such as Paolo Maldini. Also pls react to Phillip Lahm, one of the first defenders to play so versatile, amazing, and going forward with the ball as a wide-back/central defensive midfielder. Others like Beckenbaur, Sergio Ramos, Cannevaro, and many more are spectacular Center Backs to watch for defending. Marcelo, Cafu, Roberto Carlos, Lahm, Jordi Alba, Abidal, Cancelo, Trent many great full(wide) backs to watch for defending and how well they attack as well

[@ImSempTic]

Great reaction, I would like you to watch Maldini & Nesta. They are definitely one of the best if not the best defenders of all time & could be in our generation still.

[@MatiasDypala]

Maldini, Nesta and Cannavaro.

[@ParisDoNotFaceMe]

Maldini might be the only defender that could face Messi in 1 v 1

[@etme1000]

Also, another reason why a defensive position might work for you - eg a number 6 position, defensive midfielder, once you get back in shape - or central defender - is that that is a good position to start and build (construct) attacks, having the view of the entire field. For a strategic mind (a coach-like mind), that is a good position. And in modern football the entire team attacks, and the entire team defends - which means that a central defender or a defensive midfielder plays equal parts in organizing defense, and in organizing and participating in attack. Unlike in NFL, the roles of the various positions are not strictly separated, which is why you will see a nominal "left wing defender" running up and down the left flank, and assisting goals, or even scoring (eg Jordi Alba) - when their team is attacking; and then changing roles when the team is defending. The same, by the way, applies to midfielders and attackers - they all participate in all the functions of the team - ie the attackers need to be able to ply their defensive role etc. ,

[@panamafloyd1469]

@Luke's Sports Academy : 1000 times this. I admire new folks who want to be defenders. Most folks want the glory of putting the ball in the net. And @etme1000 is right about the modern game! One of the ways our guys (MLS squad) play here in Atlanta is to use our backs as a 'second wave' of attack. The #10 and the striker take it in, and if there's a defensive error on the opposing defense (GK punches out too far, defender misses a clearance and lets it bounce of the post, etc.) there's a back that picks the loose ball up and sends a rocket into the net through the chaos. Fun to watch.

[@voxstelarum]

Some legends that appeared on the video you should definitely check out: Franco Baresi, Paolo Maldini, Alessandro Nesta, Phillip Lahm, Fabio Cannavaro, Carles Puyol, Sergio Ramos, Rio Ferdinand, Giorgio Chiellini, Cafu. Also, check some videos on the cattenaccio play style, it's a style mainly focused on defending and counter attacking

[@JA-pf2my]

Defenders never get enough recognition! I enjoy your videos ! And I love how your learning to love the game. I feel like I’m seeing your passion for the sport grow.

[@justahusk8151]

One thing I find the most impressive which you didn't mention (but probably noticed?) is the risk involved in many of these tackles. It's a hard tackle to do without committing a foul to begin with, and then they do it inside the box, which means it's a penalty shot if they fail. Doing tackles inside the box MUST be perfect so you don't give the other team a penalty shot.

[@rednaskela4830]

Defenders also got to be careful not making dangerous tackles as they can result in yellow or red cards even if the tackle does not land on the player. Tackling with a straight foot at big speed and lifted off the ground is almost automatically a card, so you see them tackle with their chin or use the heel to wrap around the ball instead.

[@shaderunner8220]

Defense! I play CB/sweeper, so I can actually talk like I know something for once, yay. On sliding tackles, I basically stretch out my leg and my toe pointed straight. It helped in two ways- a) If I ended up catching someone's leg, it wouldn't be studs first, which avoided nasty injuries and cards for me, and b) your toe will move faster than your whole leg, and with enough practice I could make split second changes mid tackle to catch the ball with the tip of my boots. However I must say, while sliding tackles are fun, the best defensive lines would only use it as a last resort. As Paolo Maldini, arguably the greatest defender ever (and makes up a good chunk of this video), once said "If I have to make a tackle, then I have already made a mistake". The best defensive lines learn patterns and anticipate passes, intercepting them without ever needing to make risky tackles. I highly suggest you check out a video on Maldini at some point, he's a legend amongst legend, possibly one of the greatest footballers of all time. Other than that, also look up Rio Ferdinand and Namaja Vidic, possibly the greatest centre back duo in premier League history.

[@rihaan4619]

Awesome Reaction Luke! It's good to see you react to Defending and this was the perfect video as it shows both the old school and present modern Defenders. All the people recommending you to react to Paolo Maldini is a MUST. He is the Greatest Defender Football has ever seen and one of the Greatest Footballers. You should definitely react to him.

[@kevintherandomgamer7020]

my soccer coach in high school would tell us "either the ball gets past or the player gets past; never both" - that was our defensive mindset. led to a lot of yellow cards but still worked lol

[@psychologie4510]

The thing with tackles is that it is an absolut mind game between attacker and defender. Your Interpretation of the movement of the ball and the player has to be accurate in order to successfully, without a foul, go for an all in stop. Even in upper amateur football the attacker will be aware of the perfect moment for the defender to go for the ball so he might accelerate this second or stop or slightly touch the ball. It is amazing to go 1v1 while running a straight line!

[@mr.unlucky3081]

Can you react to "This Is Sergio Ramos - The Gladiator HD|" next, he is one of the best and decorated centerbacks of all time. He is considered as a bad boy like Zlatan, take note that his playstyle and attitude is tough, super-aggressive, to win no matter what, and that he defends like his life depends on it. He is the 2nd most red carded player because of his playstyle of putting his life on the line and that's why I love him. He also do tactical fouls, which contributes to his red and yellow cards.

[@callumfrizzell1117]

I played Centre Back all my life, just for my school and Sunday league etc, class feeling winning the ball and taking out the opponent too, not intentionally to hurt them but let them know your there. Loved it! Nemanja Vidić is by fare my favourite defender ever! Absolutely fearless!

[@DododudeDM]

A nice little tidbit for you: The term "Crunching Tackle" is often used in a situation where there's heavy contact between the two players, with an aggressive lunge or slide from the defender. Not the clean type like many are in here, but the ones where you can see the full power behind the actions, airing on the side of aggression rather than accuracy. It's a nice phrase to sprinkle in sparingly when you can really feel the crunch in your bones as one watches it being performed.

8:18 that clearance by subotic is equivalent to richard sherman tip for 49ers certain touchdown

[@libanhussein8013]

One thing you should know is that with tackle not only does your timing have to be right but you have to make contact with the ball before the player otherwise it’s a foul. Following the ball is more important than the player and any mistake can lead to a free kick or penalty kick.

Defending is still an underrated part of the game as evidenced by the fact the biggest individual awards of the game (Ballond'or, Fifa the best,...) are rarely given or nominated to defenders & goalkeepers. This video does an excellent job of highlighting the exciting part of defending. However, there is a lot more to defending than sliding tackles and interceptions. Things like positioning, tactical awareness, and anticipation are difficult to show on videos but are absolutely vital. Paolo Maldini once said: "If I have to make a tackle then I have already made a mistake".

Many defenders (players making defensive moves being defenders or forwards) intercept balls. The key is to intercept the oponents play and give the ball to a teamate, that way begining an attack. That is why in modern football the first defenders are the forwards, they have the responsability of initiating the pressing manuevers to recuperate the ball. Just intercepting and stopping the opponents advance isnt desireble. recuperating the ball and leaving your team in an adecuate position to begin the attack is the desired result.

Football is life in the UK, you're making us proud getting into the sport and you're more than welcome to visit 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧 Tackling in football is a tricky thing, it's why some players round and around and act it up. It's a non contact sport but you can tackle someone to the floor as long as your foot touches the ball first and is in your possession. That's why some of the tackles seem harsh but the ref plays on. Cos they touched the ball first before knocking the player down. (Putting it simply) Oh oh and! The next World Cup is being held in N.America, so get some tickets and go watch :P gonna be fun.

[@granlago2235]

About what you say in 5:50, it wouldn't be an own goal, because the ball was already going in. Own goal is only when you change the direction of the ball enough to turn it from a non goal into a goal. In every other case, even if it turns 90 degrees, it is considered that it bounced from you but still strickers goal.

[@ezekielduran4386]

It cannot be understated how valuable defenders are towards team success. As well as how difficult it is to perfect. Reading plays and players and the possible outcomes of combination play correctly is the most important aspect of the game to me. Just look at the World Cup. Messi had more talented line ups offensively than the last one, but needed a solid back line and quality keeper to win it all. And consistent winners of the championship league in a condensed time frame usually have a top 3 defensive line up in the world. Having played the majority of my days as a defender or goalkeeper those positions require the most competitive and alert minds in the game.

Great video reaction Luke... you are by far the best 'football learning' KZbinr channel out there mate! I think the biggest irritation in the football world is the way defending and defenders are so clearly and deliberately overlooked and ignored usually in favour of the 'glory boys and their wonder goals' alone... 'football idiot' hype is prolific! Even if you have never kicked a football it really is not difficult to work out that defending is anywhere between 80-99% of the game itself and yet everyone will incessantly talk about the only goal scored in the entire game for 99% of the time... speaking as a defensive player/coach it is just such a yawn and worse still... disappointingly ignorant! Even ex-defensive TV pundits will do it knowing that the fans and media have such little interest in anything else... it is also clearly prohibitive in really understanding the game of professional football itself! Many of the truly greatest games of football I've seen have been a monumental draw after 90 minutes of non-stop defensive football from both sides... not losing being just as important as winning a game of football... who'd of guessed? Brilliant as well as totally rubbish defensive play is quite clearly just as watchable footable as scoring goals/going forward yet you so rarely see any defensive play in football highlights, discussions, shows, Vlog's etc. Relegated to minor mentions and fleeting discussion. So facile it's irritating... the most important aspect of footbal is the least understood and least watched and least talked about by the vast majority of the fans & media. Having played, managed and then stood or sat next to these fans (parents) at games for the last 56 years it certainly gets very boring listening to so much uninformed nonsense about the game I love!
