Wonderkid Left-Backs

The position of full-back in football has developed dramatically over the past decades. Their primary task used to be defending the flanks from the opposition and their forwards but modern-day full-backs are considered much more than that. They have far more emphasis in the attacking third and build-up phased of the game with defensive principles in some cases becoming almost an after thought.

The modern full-back's fundamentals are a direct result of the influence of great Brazilian players. Renowned for their flair, speed and attacking presence. Players like Roberto Carlos laid the foundation for today's modern full-backs and together with fellow Brazilian's like Dani Alves and Marcelo they set a new standard.
