Is the defense of modern football better or worse than before

Yes, of course.

With the continuous enhancement of the players' physique and the deepening of the study of playing style, football will definitely continue to develop. In fact, it is also related to scientific research, which continues to develop with people's continuous investment.

Naturally, it's good....Training conditions are improving, players are also improving their physical fitness, physical confrontation intensity, and defensive intensity are increasing. Modern football is increasingly emphasizing defense.

Of course, this is the continuous deepening of the research on the performance of players who can enhance their physique, and football will definitely continue to develop. Facts and scientific research is a truth, and people continue to invest in the continuous development.

Modern football is significantly weaker than the previous defense, the first midfielder and the back fight is not good at all, although the modern players eat well and the sports equipment is good, but the overall physical fitness is not as good as before.

Second, defensive awareness, modern football pays attention to midfield cooperation and then offense, but the defense line is simply like a fictitious, in the past, football paid attention to defensive counterattacks, so the previous league golden boot was basically more than 20 goals, because the defensive strength is large, and the players are actively scrambling.

The third pass consciousness, although modern football pays attention to the midfield, but the midfield really plays so well that there are almost no people, in the past, football paid attention to passing, and many midfield masters were produced in that era.

Fourth, teamwork, although modern football pays attention to the midfield, but what about the actual midfield cooperation? A lot of passes are either big or two people are fighting for speed, and the accurate one-kick pass that used to be can't be seen at all. Pirlo's kind of long ball is not seen in a century.

To reiterate the physical fitness, people used to scold the national football team, but I really went back to watch the game, whether it was passing physical fitness or awareness, the previous national football team could compete with the modern Barcelona Real Madrid teams. (See China vs. Brazil in 2002, the national football team was really strong).

Well, modern football has removed all the forwards.

Can it not be strong?

Now the defensive ability of football has not improved, and the ability of strikers to score goals has improved.

Yes, the defensive ability has decreased, which is different from the previous defense, and of course the offense has also improved.

Be. Because the players are so impetuous nowadays that it's easy to lower the defense.
