As football evolves and player roles continue to shift, more and more importance has been given to the centreback. While they’re not the type of players to get all the media attention, modern systems and tactics have transformed the centreback into one of the most sought after positions, with the price tag of world class players in this position rapidly trending upwards.

I remember when pep at barca used to let the center backs build from the back and even converting midfielders into center backs . Pep was accused of "playing with the ball at the back ". Now every single club in the world ,from the lower leagues to the highest is playing this way now. Pep is a genius
It's not peps idea but Johan's
@@niiadjeidsane9071 pep has to implement it and it's not easy to implement. It's also his style of football also because cruyff team does not play like pep team. And I have seen cruyff as a coach with koeman ,pep , stojkov ,romario etc. You are not talking to a kid . I have seen those teams and I have seen Pep team. Pep is a genius . And cruyff never played defenders in this way either .
@@curtischarles5299well, Koeman was indeed the first ball playing defender I have seen live. He was like van dijk in terms of passing range and style, but even better at doing it. He was the first playmaker of the team.
@@XPL80 man the first time is saw koeman I was shocked . He was the defender that changed the way defenders played. I remember his one /two passes moving straight through the midfield . He literally 2as like a midfielder at the back. In those days you will never ever ever see a center back pass the ball comfortably. They usually would win the ball and play it long . Kick it out at times .
This is why when I see these wanna be fans now disrespecting koeman it makes me boil . Because if they knew the legend this man was they would not behave like this .but they dont know the history . But oh my ,they are the greatest fans on the planet . We dont have to like how he coached and I'm not to keen on his style but you have to respect this man. This man breathes barcelona . That's why he came and sometimes wasnt even paid and told the club when they can ,pay him. That's someone who loves barca . They respect players who grab the money and go .more than a real legend himself.
Paying the ref
Pep's Barca had Pique doing this long ago, Brazil's Lucio, But i think Franz Beckenbauer was the pioneer of this style of CB perfected by Lothar Matthäus.
I always admired how comfortable and creative Pique was on the ball. Despite his tall frame, he was really really technical.
@@khush1894 Exactly
It was called the libero in ol days
I watched Marco Matterazzi play his only season at Everton in 97/98 and he was an early example of the ball playing CB. He was excellent under pressure and always tried to retain the ball. It was a breath of fresh air after some of the dross that played before him in the 90’s.
No wonder why Emery bought Pau Torres so quickly, he had been vital to Villarreal's progression since debut
Pau Torres is one of my favorite CB I'm genuinely surprised big clubs aren't going for him including Dan Burn
@@gabrielalohan728 Not sure if he is physical enough for the premier league or bundesliga or serie a even. He’s very good tho he could prove me wrong. I think a better transfer would’ve been to Atletico Madrid but it’s difficult to say no to the premier league
@@emilevangheem6165and his aerial duel success rate is pretty worrying for a Premier League CB
@@katman9900 true forgot to mention that
His progressive passing is excellent
Frank de Boer, Frank Rijkaard and Ronald Koeman were amazing ball-playing CB's. There were examples of great ball-playing CB's before the '80 and '90, but when the back pass law changed, it was clear the Dutxh had a head start.
It helped that Rijkaard spent his early career at centre half, Sacchi converted him into a DM and honed his discipline and passing range even more by the time he came back to Ajax. Seemed unfair back in the day when Rijkaard and Koeman were our starting CB's for the national team, shame how we failed to win a world cup with three generations of great players...
talking about defensive position, do you know why many good managers were playing that position when they were still players? like pep was a defensive mid, klopp was a right-back, frank rijkaard was mainly devensive mid and he played center back as well, koeman center back, ten hag center back, pochettino center back , and so on you name it.. do you need a certain intelligence to be in those positions? I'm new to football so I'm curious
Favourite center backs, pivot, and midfielder, and right back,
It's Johnny Stones!!
Best in the World that guy with his... everything
Beckenbauer regen 😂.
The Barnsley Beckenbauer 🥶🔥
Lisandro Martinez is also a beast and underrated, his carries and vision are superb and also his composure on the ball, doesn’t yield to an opposition press
His passing range is more impressive than his nasty little personality
Under rated 😮? Who under rated him?
Sadly he destroying career at man United. You should join some big team who win trophy.
VVD is an absolute monster: Great in defence but adds so much to Liverpool's fast-forward football. Can also contribute the odd goal from a power header too.
Awesome quality video with great stats. Would be good to see a vid of the DM evolution and best candidates here in variations? One of the best footie vides I've seen recently.
I havent checked it but it would be interesting to see Militao's stats. Very often you see him picking Vinicius with a pinpoint long ball or dribbling through the first line of pressure.
His dribbling for a defender is very good. I guess one could say cuz he’s Brazilian but also his long balls are crazy too
@@chris.48he's played fullback before so his technical skills aren't too surprising
My favourite Centerback is not even a Centerback😂 John Stones. Great video and I already took my notes. Thanks man.
I think he’s still technically an inverted centerback but I don’t even know anymore haha what a player. Maybe my favourite player from last season
Haha, I was fixed on Stones during the CL finals. What a player.
he's a false centerback in the best way possible loll
Wdym he is not cb. He eas cb for his whole career. He just takes cdm position when city has posesion
@@skrskrskrr5033you know what sarcasm is?😅
thank you guys for getting the video out!!🙌🙌🙌
Great video, as always. I would love to see a similar video on the importance of goalkeepers in build-up, analyzing the characteristics of some of the world's top keepers within the context of their clubs (whether they use more short or long passes, safe or risky, etc)
My favorite CB is Lisandro Martinez ❤
He seems like a beast in tackling and Offensive Engagement but his ball Playing Qualities are just exceptional and he's very press resistant like Busquets etc.
Brother you're a Man United fan, ofc you're going to say Licha
@@nolo_the2nd
It's not about Man United.
I always admire a good player whenever I see one, regardless of his Club.
😂😂😂red blood ditected
Sadly he play for man United. He should have join big team who win trophy and real winners .
Moore, Beckenbauer and Scirea were the pioneers of this particular approach to center back role. They were really good with the ball and had excellent passing range, but short and long. They were also extra attackers when needed (specially Beckenbauer and Scirea). Baresi (the ultimate defender IMO), Stieleke, Tresor, Passarella, Krol, the other libero from 70's Ajax whose name I don't remember, were also excellent ball-playing defenders. Probably I missed some old players anyway.
Then came lots of other defenders with these skills, many of them former CDMs or FBs: Koeman, Rijkaard at Ajax (94), Aldair, Montero, Mihajlovic, Nesta, Stam, De Boer, Maldini (when he played CB), Costacurta (who was far better technically than people give him credit for) Hierro, Onopko, Desailly, Blanc, Matthaus in the latest stage of his carreer, Lucio, Materazzi, Marquez (as good as Pique on the ball but far better all around defender, if you ask me), Ferdinand, Carvalho, Terry (yes, he had fairly good passing range), Bonucci, Pique (one dimensional player lucky enough to be someone's son), Ramos after Mourinho, Varane...
My point being, it has always been important to have some order on the build up from the back. It gives the maneuver flow and speed to guarantee possession and a swift transition. Of course in recent times the importance of the role has gone to the limelight. But it has always been there.
You never dissapoint, great video!
Love your analysis man keep up the good work!
One of the best video about tactical analysis, instant subscribe for me, please upload more!
Excellent analysis! 👍
Really enjoy seeing different type/style of players. Very informative.
Well I'll love that you make a video about David Alaba's style of defending. Love the channel💛
Am here before you get to a million subscribers !!! Your academic perspective on football is amazing
I love your channel bro. Keep up the great work ❤️ love from South Africa 🇿🇦
I love it when Football Meta post keep up the work lad❤
Football meta. Your analysis bangs as always ⚽❤
I started watching football 2 years ago and I have learnt a lot from your channel Keep the great work up🙌 and can you make a video about inside forward?
Great content and analysis ! Shout out from France ;)
Excellent analysis! Salute!!!!
Great videos, enrich us more with football knowledge
Thank you very much for thr information
Quality video, really educative
Your video are really informative
Great vidéo, the only comment I have here is how is Saliba not mentioned in this list... The struggles Arsenal have faced defensively but mostly offensively (due to his amazing ball carrying and compsure under pressure) when he was injured were ridiculous!
Victor Lindelöf is really underrated in my opinion.
Lindelof at man city will be a beast to be honest
Plays just like John stones
Saliba is ball player and carrier and monster defender. If his back holds up he will be CB of the season.
I’m sending this to my all my teammates, they need this!!
Great video. Any chance you could do a video on Fiorentina's kamizake tactics? It may not be the most marketable video but the fact that they made two finals last season could serve as a hook
Can you be doing match previews and match reviews ? You're the best football analysts on RUclips.
Great video bro
Good job..I like Thiago Silva a lot and Icerdi
Bonucci is the best ball playing center back ever existed. Creativity & vision accurate passes
Finally my boy Bastoni getting some shine
Ramos i like his aggression and not easily giving up
Cristian Romero of spurs.... He is really underrated. His vision and line splitting passes to striker and wingers is top notch.. And his aggressive style of defending and front footed defensive style is also really interesting. And he is one the main reason for the Argentine Copa America and the World cup success..
Amazing stuff
Not even a mention of lisandro martinez? I know his time hasnt come yet but still, this ball playing CB video. Other tham that this is truly fantastic channel im glad i stumbled upon you guys. Cheers amd have a good day
Wow thank you❤
Thanks for making a video on my most favourite position.
Lenglet is so underrated,he is good with the ball and a good defender and he’s also a left-foot
He was so good in 18/19 pairing with Pique, but that disaster in Anfield was the downhill turning point for him
Sergio Ramos was the combination of all the above mentioned CBs and more quality in attacking set pieces.. He was an anomaly.
Thankyou
Ruben diaz had the greatest betwernness centrality against young boys for ucl.
The beautiful of game starts at the back then they rest should enjoy the game without panic
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Ajax had Dailey blind there's also Lisandro Martinez what do you call them huh
Lisandro Martinez, Laporte??? These two are adept on the ball. Maybe you should try doing a vid for left footed cbs!.
Thigo silva is so good with the ball
Virgil vandjik❤
What app or software are you using for the tactical board?
Wow bastoni , I knew it this guy was good with balls
lisandro martinez and john stone are my favorite
Laport is so good at it to
Nathen ake is also very good with his passes and its almost similar to that of Ruben
Dias ♥️
Top top video. I love the attention to the little details like Van Dijk stopping the ball. You're fast becoming my favourite football tactics channel.
I'd love to see a series of these types of videos: different types of holding mids, different types of wingers etc
Thanks mate, that's a good idea, I can definitely plan those out🙌🏻
Favourite Center Back was Ledley King.
Can you do Mourinho 2011/12 RMA
When he said Bastoni I was like “this guy knows football”
Can you please do something like this for cdm
Please explain 4 2 4 formation 🙏🙏
Wish we got Bastoni too
Hello! Can you please pick a lineup eg (433) and analyse best players in specific positions. eg best goalkeeper, center backs Left and Right backs etc. let each position occupy a single video.
I want to train my players and I wish to know each of those players does differently with others.
positioning, movement, positional awareness, scanning etc.
How about Thiago, You did not talk about Silva Thiago...in Chelsea!?
Van Dyke long passes with minimal backlift are elite.
Dont you think wingbacks can allow ball to roll since they dont hv time to stop and then pass + they don't have to look 90 degrees but 45-60 degrees?
Thiago Silva has been one of best for last 10 years
W vid
The only problem with Bastoni is that he can only really exist in a back 3
My favorite Lisandro Martinez of man united
My favourite cb is van dike
Rafa Marquez at Barcelona
No mention of Fabian Schar?????
josko gvardiol Is just different and still has room for improvement
Lisandro Martinez should have been in this video. Top guy
Jaric was possibly the best ball-paying CB of all time. Wand of a left foot.
Jaric from PES 6 master league tram? 😂😂😂
@@mustafajuventino9964had a good freekick stat
@@mustafajuventino9964 Darn right. The perfect foil for the lanky Libermann or the Swedish hacker Sremer.
@@mattegan3439 do you remember Vornander in PES 3? He was a rock at the back lol
@@mustafajuventino9964 The Vornander regen ended up being a pretty decent CB. Slow, but massive! Got his head on everything. Think Jaric was just Dulic with a wand of a left foot :D
when you talked about ball carrier i think you should have choosed stones and not rudiger but maybe im just baised
Robertson had pass inside if he scanned before he got it lol.
tihago silva
my man what happened to the captions
Why cant u guys upload more regularly 😭😭😭😭
Weekly uploads this season! (Hopefully lol)
New profile pic? Nice one but liked the old one more. But not bad either
Yeah I'm happy with this design, I'm not a logo designer so took me ages, I like the colour scheme but I'm aware it's quite a basic logo haha
This explains why, in Palmeiras, Luan still have chances to play even failing in some important defense moments Lol
Levi Colwill
Levi cowill
thiado silva
Van dike ❤
Harry McGuire.. one of the best ball playing defender
there are 3 types of cb. 1 ball carrier 2 ball player 3 john stones xD
Excellent explanation
TIMBER PLEASE😭😭😭😭
This is what kinda player i was. Much lower level ofcoarse
JOHN STONES
John Stones
Gerald Pique
