introduction
The development of full-back players in recent years has shown a trend of diversification, and in the Premier League, there have been atypical full-back players such as Manchester City full-backs Cancello and Liverpool's Arnold.
Traditional full-backs, with average offensive ability and strong defensive ability, have good physical confrontation and defensive ability in the backcourt. Modern full-backs, focusing on speed and timing of the forward insertion.
Shift from traditional defense to attack.
This article will take stock of the 5 most expensive right-backs in world football in the world today, to see what are the characteristics of these 5 players, and the development trend of the full-back position in world football in the future.
TOP 5 : 10,000,000,000,000,000 euros
Fifth in the right-back rankings is Manchester United's player Wan Bissaka, who is now worth €38 million.
As soon as we talk about Wan Bissaka, we know that his biggest feature is his contribution to the team on the defensive end.
WanBisaka is a typical defensively more offensive player, and Wanbisaka has a good ability to sprint forward, but is constrained by his cross footwork, so that the effect of his attack does not meet the expectations of fans.
TOP 4 : REES James 55 million euros
Fourth in the right-back rankings is Reece James, who plays for Chelsea. At present, the value of Rees James has reached 55 million euros.
In Chelsea's 343 system, Chilwell on the left and James on the right are at the heart of Chelsea's attack on the flanks.
After Reece James was injured, Chelsea were also slow to find a return to the peak of the time.
It's also a good illustration of how important Reece James on the right is to the team in a three-centre-back five-back system.
TOP 3 : Cancello 60 million euros
Third in the right-back position is right-back Cancelo from Manchester City.
Cancelo not only plays at right-back, but also plays well at left-back.
He is a rare player in world football today, who can contribute to the team on both the left and the right.
Higher up on the flanks, Cancelo is also able to offer more tactical play, and his long-pass vision and long-range shooting ability are elements that every manager in Europe craves so much.
TOP 2 : Ashraf 70 million euros
In second place is Ashraf from Ligue 1 giants Paris Saint-Germain, who is now worth as much as 70 million euros.
Ashraf can perform well at wingback while also helping the team at right-back.
He is an attacking defender with speed on the flanks and has been instrumental in helping the team occupy the width of the pitch and impact the depth of the opponent's defence.
TOP 1 : ARNOLD 80 million euros
At the top of the right-back position is England player Alexander-Arnold.
The 23-year-old Arnold, who is worth €80 million, is the heart of Liverpool's wing.
He's not a typical speed guard, relying on bottom crosses to help the team. His style of play ushered in his own era, with Arnold able to deliver key passes to the team both at the back and in midfield.
At the same time, he came to the area behind the ribs, and his ability to keep the ball in passing was also the envy of all wingers.
Alexander-Arnold's recovery into the middle is far more threatening than traditional full-backs handling the ball in a fixed wing-back position.
