What are the main qualities fullbacks should have
What are the main qualities fullbacks should have?
Fullbacks Should have two major strengths:
Pace, as they have to be constantly up and down the pitch and Co-ordination, So they dont drop every high ball. it also helps for them to be strong tacklers
Four strengths for me:
Pace, Positioning, Kick well with both feet and good ball handling skills.
As the full-back is a strike runner in the modern game, I like one that hits a straight line in mid-field and finds space. Hence while pace is desireable, you can break the defensive line with vision, good running lines and a step.
The full-back should also be an organiser who communicates to the defensive line in front of him. He must be able to link well and reliable in defence. the ability to kick out of defence is desireable but not essential depending on his other attributes. the risk being that if he can't kick the attackers can more easily pressurise him.
Afull back should have pace,be a good kicker,must be able to coordinate the back line and must also be a good defender since he usually is the last man to face the attackers.
