I. Of the top 10 active

rear guard

Personally, I have a top 10 center backs of today (Old Horse is retiring this summer, so I won't talk about him).

The following rankings are in no particular order and are purely personal.

1, Cannavaro 06 World Cup of Cannavaro has been the peak ~! Performance can only be described as perfect.

Except for an own player's oops and Zizou's penalty that had nothing to do with him.

Cannavaro didn't let a single man threaten the Italian gates! But the transfer to Real Madrid

After a period of discomfort with the defensive system coupled with increasing age, the former World

soccer ball

Sir, there is a downward trend in the performance of the first of the defenders.

In clubs and national teams

In the center of the town defense and header saves have gone deep.

The England and giants Chelsea captain is no slouch! Repeated injuries this season let Terry in the first half of the tournament played very little, but in February after a full comeback, Terry quickly shoulder Chelsea shock Manchester United's heavy responsibility, in February he appeared in 12 league matches, Chelsea maintained a superb 9 wins and 3 draws, in the Champions Cup is leading the team to consecutively chopped down the three strongest, although his late center back partner has been changing, but Terry's pugnaciousness is no one to replace. The Blues' defense, in its latter stages, was comparable to its heyday.

3, Nesta when the world's first center back! Although with the rise in age, injuries have a certain impact on its, but the strength is absolutely indisputable! The most elegant defender, the only defense can also do so pleasing to the eye, there is no need to spend too much language to describe.

4, Puyol Catalan soul, fighting spirit burning unceasingly Spanish warriors

! Physical and determined! His presence tends to put coaches at ease quite a bit.

With Barcelona this season

The sinking has left him exhausted at the back, but it's not his problem alone.

5, Ferdinand record transfer price of England iron defender.

29-year-old Ferdinand, in his golden age reflects the strength of the top center back, in the appearance of 35 league games, Manchester United maintained as many as 17 games without losing the pitch, he and Vidic's combination, the integration time is very short, but in the fastest speed to reach the highest level of tacit understanding, the two of them in the line of the center back, is definitely the Premier League's number one line of the center back, even if Vidic is injured, the adaptability and the commanding force of the strong Rio, but also with Brown, O'Shea and other old comrades to reach a high degree of tacit understanding in the new line of defense.

6, Lucio defense ferocious, agile, outstanding header, more valuable as a center back he will often insert assists.

Threaten the opponent's gates and cause surprises to the opponent's tactics!

7, Vidic and Ferdinand composed of Manchester United's unbreakable defense, a season of only 22 goals lost to create a record of Manchester United's Premier League history of the fewest number of goals lost, visible in the depth of its defensive capabilities! He is tall, bold and aware.

Like a mobile Great Wall in the back line, it is difficult for the opposing forwards to take advantage of him! And when it matters, he can often set up the odd goal from a set piece.

8. Leader of the backcourt of the Kolotoure Arsenal.

The speed of the long steal fierce, and more and more mature, more and more reassuring, in the young Arsenal seems to be a needle in the sea.

9, Gallas is not tall but determined, good sense of defensive anticipation, good at staring and close pressing, his speed and experience can ensure that it can complete the repeated up and down runs on the side.

The most underrated defender of all time! Used as a patch at Chelsea due to his ability to play anywhere in the back line, and only played his preferred center back when he arrived at Arsenal, definitely one of the most technically sound and versatile defenders in the world!

10, Materazzi tall, strong defense, excellent positioning skills, and often surprising moves in the attack.

But the frizziness is a problem for all Italian and Inter players.

of fans are having trouble being comfortable with him.

Another recommendation for the most promising new stars in the linebacking corps, all around 20 years old and with a promising future.

1, Ramos came to Real Madrid by the center back was gradually transformed into a right back.

Real Madrid's future "Maldini"! The main defender of the national team, the main defender of Real Madrid, 3 goals for the national team, 16 goals for the club, the ability to dominate the right side of the defense and assist, 22 years old, almost perfect physical condition, sunny face, unimaginable room for improvement.

In the words of the Italian Sacchi, "This lad often reminds me of Maldini, who had everything he needed to succeed: talent, strength, energy.

If he can stay humble then he will be the best defender in the world and he can achieve as much brilliance as Maldini.

2, Mertesacker no matter from the physical conditions or personal ability, Mertesacker can be called a new generation of German soccer center back leader.

Accurate judgment and good aerial ability make the 1.98-meter tall man look comfortable defending in the middle of the field. As the Bundesliga's top defender in terms of height, Mertesacker seldom lets his opponents take advantage of him, and his big clearances in the penalty area often nip crises in the bud.

Due to Mertesacker's superb insight into the situation on the field, Mertesacker will always be in the key place at the critical moment, and he will not leave any opportunity for the opposing strikers to take advantage of his decisive kicks.

Scooping, shielding, long passes, and even an overhead barb clearance in the box are all part of Mertesacker's repertoire.

3, Piquet the future superstar that Manchester United poached from Barcelona's youth camp.

During his time at Barcelona, Piqué helped them win the Under-18 Spanish Youth League and was a candidate for "Catalan Footballer of the Year".

After performing well on loan to Zaragoza last year, he has returned to United this season and has been given a number of appearances during Vidic's injury and has shown the first signs of atmosphere.

4, Richards English iron gate Richards is Manchester City

A rising star who has sprung up in England, he has looked comfortable at both wing-back and center-back.

Strong body and fantastically quick turnaround speed have him booked early as England's future starting center back.

At the age of 14, Richards entered the Manchester City youth training program and achieved success, in the 05-06 season, Richards' slowly surfaced in people's eyes, this physical strong young defender has a strong impact on the field, for the team always injected vitality and ****, the 19-year-old British boy has a broad development prospects, which is the reason why Manchester City and its contract extension of up to 4 years of the reason.

5, Kompany Biba League 04 best player Kompany, has attracted the attention of many giants in European football.

As the absolute centerpiece of Anderlecht's defense, the 19-year-old Bundesliga rookie king has taken on too much responsibility.

Kompany 1.90 meters tall, weight 85 kilograms, born in April 1986, only 18 years old, he is already the absolute main force of the Belgian national team.

After an impressive transfer to Hamburg for €6 million, he is one of the players being coveted by the major giants this summer.

6, Kruca Croatia's young defender, this summer Manchester City spent 13 million euros to buy.

The 1 meter 93 tall Croatian was born in 1986.

Originally, his best position was center back, but because of his lack of English, manager Eriksson was concerned that he would have problems working with Dunn and switched him with Richards.

In three rounds of the league, City's backline has surprisingly not conceded a single goal.

Kluka has done a respectable job in a wing back position he is not the most familiar with, he may not be good at assisting but he is quite good at defending, in three rounds of the league, neither Boa Morte nor Giggs who are good on the left side of the field were able to find any bargains on the right side of the field for Manchester City.

With City bringing in good attacking players on the right like Elano and Giovanni, Cluca just needs to be at ease with his defense.

And Kluka has certainly done his part well.

Outstanding frontal defense, a clear advantage in the air, and a not-so-slow turnaround speed make Kluka's spot as the starting right back a solid one.

7, Zampata, the body of the outstanding, tenacious defense, only 21 years old Colombian defender this season, representing Udinese in the Serie A, 23 times, his performance is like the peak of the "rock" Samoel, sitting firmly at the back of the team's defense, many times to make the opposing team's strikers to no avail, which is one of the reasons for the excellent results of Udinese this season. This is one of the reasons for Udinese's excellent results this season.

After years of training in the Serie A league, Zampatta has grown into the attention of many big-name teams, Milan, Inter, Roma, Fiorentina, Juventus, as well as the Premier League giants Arsenal are interested in it to the account, this summer will be staged in a Zampatta's European giants crazy war.

8, Gare although only 21 years old, but the Argentine center back Gare in the La Liga game has long been famous, he has attracted the La Liga and even a lot of European luxury clubs favor.

In 2005, Garay joined Atletico Santander from Newell's Old Boys in Argentina and gradually took over as the team's starting center back with his outstanding performance.

Defensively solid and with free kick skills he scored 9 goals last season, the most by a defender in La Liga.

With both Real Madrid and Barcelona showing interest in him this summer, Gare is already destined for a path to power and his future will be one or the other between Real Madrid and Barcelona.

9, Breno this young man is the most commendable place is shoveling very cleanly, aerial confrontation is absolutely strong, also has a cool head under pressure, foot ball control work.

The best move is the surprise back-row insertion into the opponent's defense, and his positional sense is good, but the disadvantage is that sometimes the insertion is too deep and there is no one to fill in, so there will be holes in the defense.

Breno is recognized as Brazil's best rising star with the best combination of offensive and defensive abilities, and currently features similar characteristics to Puyol when he first started at Barcelona.

At just 19 years old, he has been officially working for Bayern since January 1, 2008

Effectiveness.

10, Raúl Albiol small Raúl young is the successor of the Hall Ayala, itself has a very good physical conditions, on the field, whether it is the position or steal are very eye-catching, the accurate judgment of the ball path and the ability to read the game have given us reason to optimistic about this 21 year old bat defender hope to become a rare Spanish history of the all-round type of defense will be able to, and in addition its passing ability In addition, his passing and scoring abilities are also commendable, a perfect player.

11, Criscito Criscito as a center back, has excellent positional sense, flexible pace and anticipation awareness, good at staring.

In 2006, Criscito was at Genoa and quickly became a starter, making 36 appearances and scoring 4 goals in that year's Serie B. It was an important contributor to the team's promotion to the first division, and made him one of the best of the new generation of Italian center backs.

In 2007, Juventus offered €5.25 million plus two players, Maschero and Konko, to buy back the center-back star from Genoa.

12, Alberta Chi Alberta Chi is considered to be Bologna's youth training camp after Mancini (current Inter Milan manager) and Pagliuca (former Italian international goalkeeper) the most outstanding member of the 15-year-old was elected "Adidas Italy's best young players", 16 years old was selected for the Italian U-17 youth team, and quickly determined the position of the backbone of the defense, Alberta Chi physical quality and sports talent is outstanding, 13-year-old practiced karate, and now has a black belt. Albertazzi is a physically and athletically gifted player who practiced karate at the age of 13 and now wears a black belt, and is also an expert golfer at a professional level.

At the age of 16, he was already 1 meter 85 and 73 kilograms, with good technical strength to play center back and left back, and was considered the best successor to Maldini,...

Arsenal attempted to emulate the tactics used to poach Cesc Fabregas from Barcelona, offering Albertacci €250,000 a year in the hope of getting him, and in August 07 at the age of 16 he still officially moved to AC Milan.

In addition, a few individuals more optimistic about the quasi-superstar level of center backs, they may now be away from the world's top there is still a certain gap, but in the next few years will enter the golden age of the guards, ushered in the peak of their careers.

1, Barzali Italy never worries about the lack of good defenders.

Balzalli is tall, strong, with good header skills and even better ground defense, Balzalli is currently the best center back in the whole of Italy, Nesta's successor, the absolute leader of Italy's defense in the next 5 years, and undoubtedly the next superstar among the defenders.

2, Mexes, who became famous at a young age, is another successful product of Auxerre's "star factory".

Starting his career at Auxerre at the age of 17, he became a starter at the age of 18, and was dubbed the "new Blanc" of France. Currently 24 years old, with excellent physical qualities and maturity beyond his years, Mekses was selected for the French national team coached by Santini in 2003.

He is now the absolute core of Roma's defense, and Roma's defensive tactics revolve around him.

As the rear commander, Mexes drags back to keep the formation intact; his footwork, which is not normally possessed by fullbacks, is also his strength, and long passes from the back can often tear apart the opponent's defense directly.

3, Pepe joined Real Madrid last year with a transfer fee of 30 million euros! In the case of Ramos, Metzelder and Cannavaro, three world-class center backs, Real Madrid still spent a huge amount of money to introduce Pepe, which is certainly superb.

Looking at this season's performances, the occasional hairy moment has landed him in the middle of accusations from time to time, but there have been a number of highlights as well, and I look forward to the 25-year-old's future performances.

All of the above are center back options, not listed separately as the wing backs are equally talented.

II. Top ten center backs

1, the top ten center back rankings are as follows: Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Chiellini, Umtiti, Godin, Laporte, Ramos, Koulibaly, Varane, Van Dijk.

3, Vertonghen is a persistent veteran, after years of experience, Vertonghen has turned into a world-class defender player, one-on-one defense is Vertonghen's strengths.

5, Umtiti is the world's first-class defender, although Umtiti's size is not as high as those soccer superstars in the world, but Umtiti's soccer anticipation thinking as well as speed are able to exceed many strikers.

6, Godin is a very handsome-looking soccer field defender, Godin has the spirit of perseverance, if not able to achieve the ultimate victory, Godin must not choose to give up, so Godin is the world's role model for defenders.

7, Laporte is because of the technology first-class but low-profile performance of the guard, Laporte all day to study a variety of blocking technology, but once the Laporte has been ignored by the national team's head coach.

8, Ramos is a very team-oriented soccer player, in the soccer field Ramos will always pay attention to the dynamics of teammates, teammates have any need to help, Ramos will certainly choose to step forward.

9, Coulibaly is the backbone of his team, Coulibaly is a very calm athlete on the field, despite facing the enemy team's crazy attack, Coulibaly is still able to remain calm and think of a variety of countermeasures.

10, Varane is the world's very young soccer defender, and in Varane's soccer career achieved countless honors, although in many seasons, Varane due to their own team reasons are not able to play their own strength, but also did not give up.

11, Van Dijk is a very good top center back, many soccer players will take Van Dijk as their learning example, in the game Van Dijk can guide their teammates, organize a variety of emergency tactics.
