In the continuing series on the details of defending (trying to make it cool again, ya know), professional players break down the fact that often the most important defender isn't a defender at all. The defensive midfielder can make the lives of all the defenders much easier. Former MLS center back, Stephen Keel, joins host Bobby Warshaw, a former defensive midfielder and defender, to break down the center back/defensive mid partnership; the responsibilities of the defensive mid; the different tactical options to deploy a defensive mid; and the various types of players who assume the role.
