Do you guys know about Paolo Maldini ?
Nearly never made a tackle, despite beeing defender. He had good positionning and just held off defenders, covering the area. Leaving the tackeling to expendable players, like midfielders. (expendable as, if he tackles and misses, he doesnt leave a big gap in his back)
Well, i heard this maldini guy was quite good !
What marchisio does mostly, is world class positionning, forcing the player to do a 1v1, wich they never do, or move away/pass away.
Because of this, he allways had more interceptions then tackles
