Average AMERICAN REACTS To FOOTBALL/SOCCER 'Defense is Art' 

Little does he know that defender that headed while crawling is a own goal king absolute legend Phil Jones 🔥

I prefer watching defense that isn't dramatic.. that's the mark of a truly world class defender. Unless you're defending Messi in which case any tackle is automatically world class.

A good offense will win you games, a good defense will win you titles..

So see the clip where Messi gets tackled by the guy in white ? That guy is Alessandro Nesta & he is arguably one of the greatest defenders to ever live. To give you context, that clip was the soccer equivalent of watching Nolan Ryan striking out Babe Ruth ;)

Franco Baresi Italy vs brazil in the 94 world cup final is the finest example of defending that has ever occurred. IMO obviously

React to Maldini and Nesta art of defending

Andrea Pirlo - When Football Becomes Art by AS Comps

3:46 Lord jones

The day you posted this this was more or less demonstrated. Real Madrid won La liga. Not by attacking a lot which they have relative problems with since C. Ronaldo left and didn't guaranty 30+ goals. But by being incredibly defensively. The small guy you saw twice, it's Roberto Carlos. Arguably one of the best left backs ever. More known for his attacking output. Had one of the hardest shots in the world.

If you like the art of defens, you have to react to Philipp Lahm, who was one of the worlds best defender and he never got a red card. This is the art of defending

7:08 that wasn't the keeper lol

Everyone seem to had forgot all about Franz Beckenbauer from Germany and Jaap Stam from Holland!

6:36, really impressive, this Borussia striker was 2,02 (6'8") Jan Koller.

Little he knows about Alessandro Nesta and how even Messi could nothing against him

4:59 that tackle by Hummels is so freakin clean

5:49 we call the rescue the ball before it passes the line a "Clearance" so if you did it with your head it's a Head Clearance

I'm amazed and proud that our King Phil Jones made it on here

3:05 Puyol was a beast in the field, but always a gentleman even when they provoked him. you should react to Elias Figueroa, one of the best defenders of all time.

The acrobatic save at the end is by Rene Higuita playing for Colombia against England in a friendly match at Wembley stadium in London in 1995. It was given the name of the scorpion kick and he was the first to do it. You can find the save in various RU-vid clips.

3:45 A true legend 😂

So much of the work people dont understand when watching defending is how you take up space and close gaps as a defender. While someones defending the attacker on the ball, the rest of the defense has to make sure theyre all in line with each other and close gaps. Theres way more moving parts than you think

I started watching this guy’s videos when he had 2k and now he's pursing 5k👏

The guy with his face on the floor is a football defender from Italy called Phil Maldini. He's one for the future.

There's an expression in football/soccer: "Games are won at front, but titles are won at the back". That is, you may win matches by scoring a bunch of goals, but you'll never win a title unless you are solid at the back.

“Offense wins games, defense wins tournaments“ ~Jupp Heynkes

Great defence is never noticed. Great defenders notice issues before they occur and deal with them before this sort of last ditch defence is required.

4:33 mashe❤❤🔥🔥

That "little guy" that you saw jumpin high (white shirt, number 3) is Roberto Carlos. To me and a lot of people the best left-back (one of the 11 positions) to ever play soccer. Idol of my team, Palmeiras from Brazil and also idol of Real Madrid (biggest club in world).

It wasnt the keeper that got it the second time, it was the defender

I think you should react to Ashley cole. He is one of the best defenders ive seen. Top level. C.ronaldo said of him as his toughest opponent and Lionel Messi said same too once. He did a lot of last man , line tackles too...just one that deserved to be there was the tacle against ronaldinho( who was at his peak, as worlds best player at that time) in ucl final in 2006

You need to react to "A guide to understanding football in 4 simple steps" it'll put everything into perspective. It explains how the leagues work and the champions league (where footbal is at its best). Its like knowing in basketball why some games are more important like there's regular games (during the season) and then playoffs (The Champions League) where Ronaldo and Messi show also why they're great under pressure

You must see the Chilean Elías Figueroa, the best defender in history.

The art of defence with paolo maldini and nesta will make you love defending or puyol never give up

I enjoy his reactions

Oh you have to check out Carrels Puyol. He is the Yoda of football.

Can't believe they didn't add Ben Mees block in where he throw his head in front of the ball as it were being kicked!

Iker Casillas!!! My personal best goalkeeper of all time. You should definitely look into him if you love double saves!

Nice reaction as always! Please react to “Understanding European Soccer in Four Simple Steps: A Guide for Americans” by the channel Pen and Paper😁 The channel has a few other informative videos about for instance International Soccer and Transfers. The videos are quite short, so maybe you could react to a few in the same video? It will definitely make future reactions and interactions with subscribers more relevant when you know the context. Keep up the good work bro😎👊

Defense cannot be captured in small clips. It lies in manmarking, offside traps, zoning and covering open space. While watching the great goals scored by the likes of Messi and Ronaldo, we must sporeciate the fact that even they have been stopped so many times by great defenders. That's what this great game is all about. Love your reviews. Keep posting.

Definitely watch Van Dijk. He won the UEFA best ahead of Messi as a Centre back and almost won Ballon d'Or just being edged out by Messi, again, as a defender! Which is pretty rare. #VVD 2018/19.

Should react to the Joga Bonito videos made back in the day. They were awesome. All the goats imo are in there.

5:58 قوميز 😂😂😂😂😂💙💙

You should act to best team goals next

"This video is getting flagged for sure, after that... " xD

Defense does more than winning games, it wins you championships.

A lot of other comments saying this.... Tackling is a last resort. If you have to make a tackle it's because your team defence has been pulled apart or someone lost discipline. The best defenders are the players who unite their team mates to force the other team to make bad decisions and cough up the ball. No tackling necessary if it works. These kind of players often make good captains, it's why so many famous captains and leaders are centre backs

Nice video. Recommendation from me watch barcelona's tiki taka it's super beautiful.

Defending at high level is incredibly hard. Great teams always score a few goals a match. The real question is wether you can keep their score below yours or not.

FUTBOL IS ART

FTR UK uses both metric and imperial (we kind of invented imperial, when we had an empire...hence the name lool). The only 2 things we do different 1) fluid, sometimes we use litres but we also use Pints, we rarely use the gallon measure, although in Petrol/Gas stations we do, we don't use fluid Oz's though [unless its cooking], Get this...if you went into a Pub or Bar you would order a bear in Pints, but shots/spirits are in Metric measures lool, but if you went to an Off Licence/Liquor store, it would be in metric (usually ml) for both (occaisionally you find pint cans) 2) We use Stones and Lb's so when a US person says "dude weighed 200 Lb's" we have to convert that into a rough metric (2lb's is just over 1 Kg) or we have to convert to stones (14lb's in a stone). Even Kg though most UK folks have no idea about in relation to body weight , on mainland Europe its all Kg. Here its stone so I know I'm between 12- 13 stone which is about 200lb's. I actually had to work this out whilst typing and its pure coincidence that I chose a previous weight in lb's that was my weight. We use feet and inches for height and we sometimes use Yards in relation to pitches or sports fields, but sometimes meters??? and for speed and distance between cities...Miles, I know right??? We are EVEN more awkward than the US lmao We use both but not all of both...just most of both and sometimes only VERY specific parts of both, we are probably the most annoying population on earth when it comes to measurements. The irony being that many of the International "controls"/Official defined values for Standard Metric units are actually held in a London Institute

There are lot of tuff defender but when it cimes to cruel then thats only PEPE

Good offense wins games, good defense wins titles.

You should react to Sergio Ramos

that legendary phil jones moment

React to Maldini showing his excellent defending skills.

Please react to Carles Puyol, former captain and defender of FC Barcelona. A real Leyend!

You are wrong, attack wins the game but only defense can win you titles

attack wins you games .. defense wins you titles

Football dirty/horror tackle please 🙏

No john terry's diving head save?? what?.

Sadly we won't see many defense videos because with the best defense nothing happens... ^^

These are the moments that get people watching Soccer.

React to best Safes of Manuel neuer. At the moment probably the best (at least top 3) Goalkeeper in the world.

Watch Best Manuel Neur Saves , hes been the best goalkeeper in the world for a good while!!! His reaction time is unbelievable🔥🔥🔥

'Paulo Maldini and Nesta. The Art of Defending. Best duo ever.' Please react to this video.

React to goal line clearances

Jesús!

They can't touch the ball with arms or hands during the action (only the goalkeeper can use the hands) ... so many players use the head and sometimes the face

Can you react to Puyol, please? You won't regret it

Americans :0-0 is so boring , nothing happens

Great choice mate. I wish you rainbows.

Inches over centimetres anyday. None of that metric crap, the pitch has a 6 yard box, the penalty spot is 12 yards from the goal line. The penalty area is 44 yards wide and 18 yards long.

Best play was around 0:41 - 0:46

7:06 Uhm that's not the keeper

4:32 not luck at all. Mascherano is a master at tackling and fun fact he tore his anus in that play in the 90th minute! Thanks to that tackle, Argentina played in the final. Mascherano is a very underrated player. You should do a video on his defense.

Petition so he only reacts to football (soccer)

Alas the true art of defence is lost in modern football go back to the 70's and 80's to see the real McCoy, I'm not just talking about the rough house stuff but back then you were allowed to actually tackle without fear of the smallest of touches resulting in some twat of a centre forward /winger rolling around on the floor in "agony". The death knell was sounded when the tackle from behind was outlawed, one of those executed properly was a thing of beauty.
