   Are defenders good in the air?

   • Imagine a defender wins an aerial duel but heads the ball right back to the opposition more often than not. That says the player may be good in the air physically, but has limited technical ability with aerial balls. A defender with strong heading ability is an asset at both ends of the pitch.

   • Composure. Much like forwards, top defenders must be extremely composed. The pressure of knowing that any mistake on your part could be costly for the team can be daunting for some, which of ten leads to overthinking and errors.
   • Communication. Preventing a goal is more easily achieved as a unit, and there is the need for clear communication to make this happen. If one player in the defense is not on the same page as the others, an error from that player can be costly for everyone.
   • Concentration. In a regular game, strikers can often afford to make defensive errors without getting punished. This is because there's still a lot of ground to cover even if they lose possession in the final third.
   • Anticipation. A world-class defender cannot afford to be reactive all the time. Often, you need to anticipate the decision of the attacker and set yourself up to defend against it BEFORE the move is actually made.

   • Giving no time to react. One of the best words to describe a good defender is “suffocating”. You have to be a player that gives no space and no opportunity for attackers to think.
   • Correct positioning and stance. It is fundamental for any defender to always have the correct positioning and stance towards the attacker. Like the picture above, always try to approach the attacker at an angle and never squared and straight forward to them.
   • Developing your patience. Patience is key for any defender to develop their patience. The reason why it was so hard for me to defend correctly when I started this position is because I wasn’t patient enough.
   • Anticipating their next move. As a defender you need to get to know your rival: How he moves? To what side he likes to dribble the most? What is his strong foot?
