SimplySoccer thank you!
SimplySoccer thanks for replying my comment 👍
SimplySoccer can you do a video on something like top ten defenders or attackers in the pro leagues
SimplySoccer Hi there I've just watched this video an I really think that this is really helpful. Im a defender at heart I never want to score goals cause firstly I'm not attackingly good and secondly I find it boring to just score goals. However there are major setbacks lately when some of my friends starts to ask me where I'd prefer playing and when I say I'm a CB many would not believe me because I'm 5 ft 1 inch. It's sad cuase being a CB has always been a dream and I had played a few times in CB. Did some recovery tackles after a corner where every single one wasn't up to recover. Tbh my body shape is somewhat like luke shaw. Big and short. But don't get me wrong when I come and make a tackle it's always a brutally clean tackle to a point where people make referee the problem to the game. Still I really need your help In assessing a problem I have. How to time ourselves to a tackle. I'm bad at stand tackling and i always do slide tackles. So I've been watching Diego Godin cause his stand tackles are solid and hard. Way better defender than Ramos, and also I've been analysing this young defender named Milan Skriniar. He's compose as a defender. I really love his standing tackles. Maybe you could make another video if does not hinder you in any way to help people like me to know when to time a tackle and how to stand tackle in a certain situation? Or maybe have pictures of attackers and deduce whether isnit the time to slide or to stand there we could get the rough idea to when's the right time to tackle. Btw this video's a very good one. Thank you and have a very good day.
SimplySoccer if only sweden could’ve watch that fouling part
Some tips for defending
Never stay flat footed
Know your surroundings
Communicate with teammates
When the opponent makes a bad/big touch , that's when you make the tackle, unless your 100% sure that you can make the tackle
Be aggressive
Julian + he no mercy. for me as a striker (and wing player) its very hard to get past a defender who is cold blooded and does have no mercy. Go for the ball and not the player. Kick the fucking ball away if u have the chance. Don't let the attacking player do his strength. Amen
GM intertamendTV its hard to defend against an attacker who dives..
You forgot patience
Julian what do you mean never stay flat footed? is it staying on your toes
Dough Boy it means that you should never stand in one place doing nothing you should always be ready
I'm so happy channels usually just pay attention to attackers but the defense is the platform of the team
hater
Hamza Abuarqoub why..?
true
The defender is the most important position of the game because they’re like a wall to protect your goal
A good rule of thumb for going after the ball is if you can arrive before the ball or at the same time you can try for the ball. If you arrive after the ball don't "dive in" or try to get the ball from the offensive player. Jockey and apply pressure. As a defender your job is not to win the ball, but to prevent the other team from scoring. Stopping the forward momentum of the offense and forcing a backward pass that allows for your teammates to recover into defensive position is also considered a win.
I also like to attack the ball when it is still in the air and the offensive player has not settled it yet. I see a lot of kids allowing the offense to settle a bouncing ball then turn and face them. It is much harder to beat a defender with your back turned to them. Don't let them turn!
If a player is running straight at you in your defensive third of the field and they are going to run by you... Don't let them cut into the middle of the field where they can get a shot off. Force them to the outside to take a lower angle shot... your goal keeper will greatly appreciate it! Consider a purposeful foul. Don't hurt anyone, pull a jersey or obstruct the player. Never ruin another players career by injuring them!
Never under estimate the power of applying extreme pressure. Even pros make bad passes when they don't have time to pick their head up to find a pass. The easiest way to frustrate a more skilled team is just applying extreme pressure. Get in their grill immediately! Once again this does not mean diving in. You should have a fast approach but a slow arrival.
Great advice and I’m an attacking mid so this helped me learn from the defenders position
Well said.
Wow great advice
I like the fact that youve putted clips of defenders illustrating your points
No he put clips of attackers playing poorly
The two most important things to do as a center back when defending a really fast guy is don’t let him turn and tackle really hard because they will get scared of you. Be physical
No one ever likes to play defence, so it is always up to me to stay back. I like defending though
Same here
Same bro
As someone that love to play defence (and good at it) you don't know how annoying to play against peoples like that😂
I wanna attack, but I am naturally better at defending so that's what I play and I quite enjoy it actually
Me too
Tactically:
- Don't try to win ball high up, run straight back
- Defend deep
- Don't slide tackle
- Press from mid, force him wide
damn thats some good advice... ive got to play CB next season n im not looking forward to it cos im shit at headers, but also it depends how high your pressing
daquan94 Yes it does. I'm confident you will improve your defensive skills. I wish you best of luck with your season :)
Alos GOL
i love slide tackling
What do you mean by defend deep?
Do defending against tall/strong attackers pls
Myles Goulbourne You CAN'T beat Zlatan ! 😂
Nicolas Lacroix I need to know how to do it for the big donkeys that are about 7 foot in Sunday league
Lendoggydog If they're tall they'll have less balance so get low and push them with your body. (I'm 5'11" /180cm 177 lbs / 78 kg and managed to stop counter attacks against tall midfielders. They'll be further from the ball (tall= longest strides= less contact with the ball to dribble the same distance than the average player= less ball control) so when the touch the ball calculate when they will touch it again. When they make contact with the ball, and it goes more than 1 foot away from them, tackle as fast as you can. This way they hopefully won't be able to react quickly enough because they have to "react" to YOUR mouve in order to stay in possession of the ball.
Lendoggydog if someone crosses the ball to them they'll probably take the header but you can still try to get a better placement and plant your feet correctly in order to jump the higher you can. Remember! You should have a better balance and footwork so try to get a better position than them. Don't try to think of these tips in the match because you will get confused. Just train and everything is gonna be fine.
Training quality+ training quantity + experience= success
HAHA
Finally You did a video for defenders 😂❤️
Im watching this to avoid being exposed by defenders as a fast attacker
Kyran Crawford-O'Gorman Same
Lol I'm a defender and I do the same on attacking videos.
Lol same here 🤣🤷🏽♂️
Nah I’m a defender.
@@YashRaj-wz3su and Indian who is fast soccer player
Lmao
almost all modern clips in this video is showing Ramos .. then a 10 years kid come and say he's overrated ! :D
he is lol,you dumb*?His defensive abbility is way ,way worse than some of the top defenders in the world
yeah you're right all this clips is photoshopped xD
TheLibero I didnt say the defending showed here was bad.But overally through his career ramos wasnt close to his counterparts
can you make a simple comparison in any website and show me the result ?!!
that general talking isn't correct at all .. yes Ramos do a lot of fouls and get cards but in defensive actions he's the best !
TheLibero nope not at all,dont talk about football if you dont know football
Great vid. Loved that you found clips to play that go along with what you were saying. Very helpful.
Thank you so much! This vid helped me out a lot.
This is a great video!
Iam so happy that Ramos is an example of defence tutorial ...❤️🔥one of the greatest wall of football 👍🔥❤️😎
Thank you 😈 so helpful 💪🏽
As a defender I would like to give a tip. You have to stay strong. Because in the league I’m playing in they put u16/17 in their teams while it’s u15. And those can be strong so you need to use your strength and aggressive to push them or cover the ball. Another tip is to use your shoulder/hand to push them at throw-in or corners I always do that and it helps a lot.
Thanks man, I’m trying to improve a lot so that I can get into a team I’m trialing for and your videos are helping me a lot. Keep it up please 👍🏼
Help to help man!
This is pure gold!!
Thank you for using AC Milan players in your video! Perfect examples for this video! #ForzaMilan #Kaka #Maldini #Nesta
Thank you soooo much I have been looking for something to help me defend against fast opponents!
You're welcome man!
Thank you!
Thanks this really helped I play RW and LW and I don't like playing and defensive positions unless a attack minded full back. There are some Strikers on my team who are really fast. One time we did a scrimmage and I thought of this when I was put at CB. We only conceded 2 goals and scored 8 on a half field scrimmage. I know I'm late but thanks. 👌
you dont like playing
Thanks for the video!
No problem!
Thanks 🙏
Love your videos bro
This really helped👌
Could you do a defending vs skillful players? And Keep up The Good work :)
Absolutely. That's a good idea!
Amud Al Jafar
do not give them any space.
Wait until he goes a certain way and kite him for as long as possible.
Only go in for the tackle when it’s inevitable or easy.
Use your body to guide him away from your goal, but don’t get too physical as a smart attacker with good dribbling will simply take the ball around you.
+Amud Al Jafar it is the same as this video. Skills take space to perform, if you eliminate the space, they cannot do skills. Use your body, be aggressive
“Ok”
@@thivthiv7696 Bro they can do so mzh...
Ramos is the best defender in the world.
sergio for president
2nd best. Virgil is better right now
Sou obrigado a falar isso aqui ta uma porra Yeah Sergio is the goat over the last 9 years or so but last season it was VVD but that doesn’t mean that Ramos is better overall 🤷♂️
Virjil Van Dijk- "Am i selling tea Amtsar? "
@@jyothisgopal6238 yes yes you are
Thank you bro, keep it up
No prob!
Sooooooooo good video man Keep it up!!!!
Thanks mate!
Will help me improve a lot
thanks man this helped a lot
Glad to hear!
Thank you, I was getting smoked yesterday from this one fast ass dude 😂 should’ve watched this earlier
Andres Nolasco so did I today. I couldn’t catch up.
I am a right back and i am (most of the time) the fastest player on the pitch but it is still very helpfull to watch this.
They put their legs on the line because they got million $ salary. For my games which I paid to play, I would let it go and save my legs.
Delboy 100%
stop playing football then
Great video.
Thanks!
Love your videos ❤️
Glad to hear!
My idol : Paolo Maldini, playing simple and smart
If i was a football player i would choose ' Central Defender Midfielder ' (CDM) Because i can defend and sometimes score goals as well.
Any advice for an average, short right back that plays for the cadets(U17)?
Thank you man
No problem!
I'm thankful for this because u don't really do defending videos keep up the great work
Cheers!
Ive always struggled with balls in the air and i was not that great with the ball under pressure as a cb cause i knew tht if i lost the ball it most likely would end up in a goal
Maldini the legend🇮🇹
Really good advices
Thanks!
I already knew that. I’ve been playing cb for like 8 years already , most forwards tend to be super fast; I’m used to it but sometimes they get some space in which my speed is just not enough.... so I’d like a video on how to increase my speed
Bro Run run run.Ez increase in speed.
Quality content
Thanks mate!
Nice
As an attacker it will push at random times and try to e
Intercept the ball as much as I can, getting my teammates the cover me if I get beaten
What a great video the best defending video on TH-cam
Trust me I know I’ve played for professional clubs in England (e.g Notts Forest,Notts County,Derby County)
Thanks mate!
i have a game soon and is semi final so is important to go final and their whole attack is fast so i usally play cam but i have to play defensive mid cuz coachs choice and i need tips to not let them score
Thanks😀
No problem!
One more tip:
If the player faces up to you one on one not especially trying to use pace, mainly trickery, look only at the ball and wait and wait and wait. Usually he will eventually perform a heavy touch. This is when you step in and take the ball. Diving in early is exactly what they want and they can just tap it past you and burst into the space you left behind,
Great tips, brilliant vid, should help me on my defense, thx a lot
Good point!
SimplySoccer not really for defending against pacy players but just skillul and good dribbling but players who are fast often are good dribblers so thought it might help! Great vid though really improved my game
Hermoso video, agradeceria subtitulos en español pero bueno, creo que se entiende.
MI DUDA ES, SER DELANTERO O DEFENSA
As a really fast striker my worst nightmare are defenders who are very good at intercepting.
The rest I can manage to beat them in speed, strength space etc.
No you are so cool and love your videos
Thanks!
I have a little problem what do I do if I misjudge the ball as a cb do I hit it out of play or what
Right now I’m too slow and rusty cuz quarantine hit me hard so I’m trying to get back in my feet atm
@SimplySoccer what is the second song
Did you film it
Well, as one of the fastes mf in my sunday league, defenders anticipate or don't let me turn are my nightmare.
I might turn and get away but if they did a good job making it hard for me, by the time I turn and accelerate, the space I wanted to attack is already covered
This actually helped me 😆😆
Thank you so much
But weirdly im known as a wall
Basically Sergio Ramos analysis
I’m playing in a coed game in twenty minutes, and I want to make sure the strikers (usually guys) are put in their place... I’ve been playing soccer for 17 years! I’m ready to play
Haha go get them!
Hey guys i need some help
so i"m like a naturally,good defender but i'm having trouble choosing a position.i"m 15 my height is 5ft 5inch have a mesomorph body type and i"m pacy but not that much
Im a striker wen i saw this video i was like ow shit no more goals for me
How do i defend against strong and physical attackers
2 years ago, it was just Ramos clips, and now we can make a whole movie out of Virgil Van Dijk's brilliance 🔥💯
4:13 Always
Great😆
Sigit al Suep I’m documenting my journey to becoming a pro footballer on my channel, check it out of it interests you ;)
Can you do a video on how to defend against a striker who is bigger/taller and stronger than you please?
Planning on it!
It's nice to show experienced world class players since they are the epitome of the sport itself. However, can we get lesser famous players with brilliant tactical and athletic ability who may not play for the Reals and Chelseas but would be excellent players to learn from? Analysing the top 0.001% is wholly useless for teams lower than the first division in any league on the planet.
The best way to learn is to study the best and focus on the small things that they do. I've picked up a lot that way and slowly improved in smaller facets of the game which has made a huge difference. What I would suggest doing though is watching players that are top class but not very physically gifted in terms of speed or athleticism because you have to be much smarter particularly when defending and that's where you'll pick up a lot of useful tips because it shows you things like positioning, body shape, how to stay aware in certain situations, how to be a step ahead of players or how to coax them into a mistake. Guys like John Terry, Gary Neville, Phillip Lahm, Loic Perrin is actually a very good example of a great defender that is undersized at CB, Javier Mascherano is another good example of the same thing, Mario Gaspar is another,Fabio Cannavaro, I think the best example I can give though as a guy that is a fantastic 1-on-1 defender and a good all round footballer is Cesar Azpilicueta. Go and watch those guys and it's incredible the amount you'll pick up.
Thx for the help so I know how to avoid defenders
Unforsaken Lion I got skills so if we ever be vs each other ik what not to do
We need a how to defend against tall players
You forgot the most important aspect of defending anything: be strong, have no fear
How to defense against stronger playerd
I have try in all position....defender is toughest ❤️❤️...
I’m a Center Back!
@your modern day friend maybe fuck fullbacks.
I’m defender who’s 17 years old
Me too
Hey dave, you should make a video on ma homie Hector

Yay kaka
I have a video dedicated to Kaka if you're interested: th-cam.com/video/aamVYfjxaPo/w-d-xo.html
Am slow midfielder but now I think I have it perhaps
❤️
One important thing is to improve your speed and agility
I noticed a lot of slide tackles for defending, any defending tips when you play in a league where slide tackling isn't allowed?
Tobi Logar California league
small tip: let them make mistakes. If you keep them in front of you they are bound to mess up a pass or skill move.
3:06
Ironic how you say don't dive in, when Ramos is known for that
Devin Andreas idiot dive in here means a kind of a slide tackle
This is late but Ramos isn't known for diving in but for being a bit dirty in his approach
Never two players can atack the ball the same time...if one is with a atacker another one need focus in his next moviments and atack the ball with intelligency....defends just need learn moviments...and of course left feet or right feet push the players to weakness sides....or normally they push the ball for their normal best feet...the balls in the air the hardest you do need constantly follow middle/gaps and not every time players...and be agressive is important... to not give the best confidence to the atacker...when have the ball try push the ball always to the lines not middle...you lose the ball in middle have a lot of place direct to the goal and lines need do different ways...
Im not sure how to angle my body when I jockey
How to defend against a fast attacker: Be Faster! Lmao
nice, can i defend against messi now?
You are fine if you play your angles and don't give them space to run into
If you can keep a team to 0 then your team only needs one goal yo win. If you allow one goal your team needs 2 goals to win. Defense is everything.
Ramos is the GOAT at defending
no
Tobi Logar Thank you
Maldini is, he was so smooth with tackles and slides. Ramos took so many red cards and in my opinion is one of the dirtiest player right now. Maldini only got one red card in 25 years of carrier
Maldini
No doubt ramos is the best defender today.defender who can also can score goals.and can stop best player.lets give example = M salah.
