Message: [QUOTE="Wolfie, post: 3462652, member: 8770"] Its much harder though to quantify what a defender does compared to an attacker. Like i posted, Maldini was part of a defence that won the champions league conceding only 2 goals. Thats just insane, but how do you quantify that as an individual. You can measure an assist or a goal as an individual, but especially from years gone by when the metrics weren't tracked like they are now, how do you measure clearances, tackles, blocks etc. Its not a fair comparison imo, all you can go on is a players ability to perform in his position and his influence on a team. I dont really go to hard into the stats, trophies and award because there are too many variables. The Ballon d`Or for example with the way its voted on these days is basically Eurovision for football. [/QUOTE]
