5 most overrated defenders in the world right now

#1 Sergio Ramos

Gloried more for scoring goals than saving them.

Without a shadow of a doubt, the most overrated defender in the whole world is none other than the Real Madrid captain. How he is still the starting choice of the Blancos now is something that is baffling, to say the least.

Perhaps, it is the captain’s armband that makes it an obligation to keep in the playing XI. The reason people rate him highly is due to his knack of scoring important goals and his undying spirit, however, when one looks carefully at him alone, they begin to realize his flaws.

For one, he has the irritating tendency of rushing out of his line to force the ball off an opponent. This not only leaves a gap in the backline, but also puts his comrades under pressure. Secondly, his fondness for recklessness always makes him a liability because he is just a red card waiting to happen.

Thirdly, he has the looks and the charm that enchants people. Everything about his exterior is filled with radiance, but on the field, he could do so much better.
