Center backs are usually tall, and possess good heading and tackling capabilities. Some well-known CBs playing today include Fabio Cannavaro, the Real Madrid player, William Gallas and Alexandre Song of Arsenal and John Terry of Chelsea. While CBs usually remain in the half of the field that contains the goal they are defending, some tall defenders often go forward to the opposing team's penalty box, when scoring with one’s head is a possibility. Center backs therefore, have a defensive function to perform and a crucial role to play. Their skills have become an indispensable asset to every football team.
