Benoît Badiashile, The Defender Who Covers Ground
Badiashile is the insurance policy behind an aggressive defensive line, the player who turns and runs when the ball has gone over the top of everybody. He covers the distance calmly rather than desperately, gets his body between the forward and the goal, then shepherds the danger out towards the corner flag. That left foot also means the ball leaves the defence on the correct side without a wasted touch.
His problem has never been ability, which is why the frustration around him runs so deep among supporters who have watched him play well. Long spells on the treatment table keep interrupting the run of matches a centre half needs to build an understanding with his partner. Defending is a relationship, and relationships take repetition rather than talent to develop properly.
