What is the level of world class football defense?

Successfully break up the opponent's strong attack. And experienced, winning with speed and impact.

I think the level of football in Europe, especially the defensive level, represents the trend and direction of the development of world football, and the defensive level is very high.

At the top level, their defense is like an impregnable wall, it is difficult to break through the shots, and even the ball will be robbed.

World-class football defence is also top-notch, and opponents can't score goals at all.

The team that can defend the most: Italy.

Italy, a European team, has won the World Cup four times, and Jianshan is second only to five-star Brazil and tied for second place with Germany. Speaking of the Italian team, although they have an unforgettable striker Roberto Baggio, Italy do play defensively, and the Italian team's backline is called "concrete", watching them play the ball, it feels like they are hiding in the walls, sniffing out the cold arrows.

In the 2006 World Cup finals, Italy finally defeated the French team with defense and won the World Cup, and then Italian defender Cannavaro beat Zidane to win the World Footballer, which shows the importance of the Italian team's defensive position. It's a pity that we didn't have the opportunity to see the Great Wall of Italian Steel in this year's World Cup!

Note. The Italian national team has a glorious record and has dominated world football for a long time, winning four World Cups, one Olympic football title and two European Championships. As of the end of 2017, the Italian national team has won 802 international A-level matches, 424 wins, 219 draws and 159 losses, with a total goal ratio of 1386-802 and a total goal difference of 584 goals, ranking among the top in European football.

In the 2018 Russia World Cup European qualifying play-offs, Italy lost 0-1 to Sweden on aggregate over two legs and was eliminated, missing the World Cup finals for the first time since 1958.

On July 11, 2021, Italy defeated England in the final of the 2020 European Championship to win the European Championship. On March 24, 2022, in the semifinals of the European play-offs of the World Preliminary Championship, Italy lost 0-1 at home to North Macedonia and missed the World Cup.

The team with the best defense in the World Cup is Morocco.

The Moroccan men's national football team is a men's football team that represents Morocco in international competitions and is governed by the Royal Moroccan Football Association. Morocco has played in six World Cup competitions and is the first African team to qualify directly for the World Cup final week and the first African team to top the World Cup final week group.

The best result in the World Cup was reaching the round of 16 in 1986. Morocco won the Africa Cup of Nations in 1976 and finished runners-up in 2004 by host Tunisia. On December 17, 2022, in the third-place match of the 2022 Qatar World Cup, Morocco lost 1-2 to Croatia and finished fourth.

World Cup

The FIFA World Cup, referred to as the "World Cup", is a football event that is participated by national teams from all over the world, symbolizing the highest honor in the football world, and has the greatest popularity and influence. The World Cup is held every four years, and any FIFA member state (region) can send a team to register for this event.

The Brazilian national team is the team that has won the most World Cups and has permanently retained the previous World Cup winners' trophy, the Remet Cup, after winning three World Cups. The birthplace of modern football is England, whose team won the World Cup for the first time in 1966. The current World Cup trophy is the Hercules Cup, which was first lifted by four-time World Cup winners Germany in 1974 and has been used ever since.

Soccer teams are defensively inefficient. Compared with low post defense, high post defense is more physically demanding and risky, but it is always high risk and high reward, modern football.

There is a lot of emphasis on the transformation of attack and defense, and pressing high is to hold the initiative in your own hands, take the initiative to attack, and get a counterattack opportunity in the position closest to the opponent's goal.

Definition and impact of defensive pressing

Defensive pressing refers to the pressure when the opposing player receives, dribbles and passes, the successful defensive pressing is to grab the ball back for their own side, the defensive pressing data can reflect the overall defensive aggressiveness, the higher the data, the worse the overall aggressiveness, the success rate of defensive pressing, this data is very interesting, in fact, it reflects the level of the individual ability of the defensive player, the higher the success rate of defensive pressing.

The high-level pressing emphasizes the integrity of the whole team, the frontcourt players limit the space behind the ball-holder, coordinate the midfielder to limit the opponent's passing line, the central defender comes out to grab, limit the potential receiving point, and the three-line linkage can play a high-quality high-level pressing.

In 2019, De Gea made the top 15 best saves in goalkeepers.

The best conductor of the overall defense in football is Sean Dyche (Burnley). Dyche prefers a 4-4-2 formation, with all four in midfield defending in depth, with the latter four all defending to the fullest extent possible. Birmings Enley have a very patient and determined attitude, which makes it very difficult for opponents, which forces them to play long balls from the outside.

Burnley relied on set-pieces to score from set-pieces on a large scale, and despite the limited budget, Burnley have remained competitive and Dyche deserves credit.

As the so-called goalkeeper can hold up half the sky, a good goalkeeper is absolutely rare for a mature team, generally speaking, the goalkeeper position is the most experienced position, many players are twenty-five or sixteen years old before they begin to become famous, but in recent years, football goalkeepers have shown a blowout, and a lot of young goalkeepers have emerged, as for the top three goalkeepers in active football, Snail Jun believes that it will be De Gea, Neuer and Courtois. Of course, there is no particular order of ranking, the focus is on performance.

First of all, De Gea, as the Premier League goalkeeper, De Gea's role in Manchester United is self-evident, in the period of Manchester United's internal and external troubles, De Gea used magic saves again and again to help the team save the danger and protect the city, after all, in last season, Manchester United's state is really bad, the team has frequent contradictions, and even because of Sanchez's salary problem, De Gea and the team are also in conflict, although the contract has not yet been renewed, but for De Gea, there will definitely be no shortage of the next home, and now the Western media broke the news, Manchester United want to swap goalkeepers with Real Madrid, but there seems to be no substantive news, but this does not affect De Gea's quality in the goalkeeper position.

followed by Neuer, when it comes to Neuer, we have to mention Germany's choice in the goalkeeper position, Neuer and Ter Stegen play at the same time, these two are enough for any team, but in the German national team, Ter Stegen has to sit on the bench, and in the final analysis, it is because of Neuer's strength in the goal-line position, especially Neuer's ability to attack also gives more support and command to the backline, many times, Neuer can be the last playmaker of the team to sit in the rear command, it can be said that Neuer is now experienced, excellent quality, and definitely has the strength to rank in the top three.

The last is Courtois, although Courtois is not very comfortable in joining Real Madrid, especially for Blues fans, he is also quite dissatisfied, he just left, and slandered Chelsea, and even publicly wanted to dig Hazard, the big mouth attribute is not liked, but if anyone has the strength of the goal line, Courtois is still very strong, tall, Courtois has long hands and feet The coverage area is large enough, basically the half-high ball is not much of a threat to Courtois, Unless it is a dead corner or a chance to hit the ground will be a little bigger, but it is not very smooth for Courtois, who just joined Real Madrid and suffered a downturn in Real Madrid, Real Madrid's goal is not good but is scored, and it is estimated that Courtois is also a little depressed. However, in terms of strength, Courtois is still fine, otherwise Navas will not be squeezed out.

The goalkeepers who can rank in the top 10 are Casillas, Gianluigi Buffon, De Gea, Neuer, Bravo, Joe Hart, Lloris, Peterch, Thibaut Courtois and Cillessen.

Yashin, Zoff, Banksy, Hilton, Schmeichel, Buffon, Chilavert, Kahn, Tafarel, Ikita.
