Does anyone else really enjoy watching world class defenders just as much as forwards?
Thinking back to the likes of Puyol, Maldini, Baresi… sometimes it’s a thing of absolute beauty.
I get particularly half-mast when Dunky does that beautiful diving chest back to Sanchez, or Veltman pockets his winger.
Defending is a real art, and while there are some real lummoxes still around (Mings, Maguire) some of the defending in the PL is absolutely exceptional. Thiago Silva, at 38, is masterful IMHO.
