well, he was in the defensive middle field, but played a very aggresive style, thus forebroding his role as our greatest Libero, only Lothar Matthäus comes close.

Before Beckenbauer, football was amazing, but when he arrived, it became a high art.

He played in midfield during that world cup and later became a sweeper, never a centre half!!!

Everyone classes him as defender but i keep constantly seeing him attack. I keep trying to find videos showing his defending ability,

never ever ever was he a “centre back”

Some confusion among modern day viewers. In a time when shirt numbers clearly defined the player’s postion within the team structure Beckenbauer as No 4 was a half back or wing half, who performed a largely attacking role at this stage of his career. He was given a specific job to nullify Bobby Charlton in the 66 Final which robbed us of both player’s attacking flair. In his later career he made the more defensive position of sweeper his own.

I think that Franz Beckenbauer is the best defender of all times. He was very strong, infact he knew defend and to score.

Most people say that Pele is the most complete player of all time but in my mind Franz Beckenbauer is the most complete player in the history of the beautiful game. I mean Beckenbauer was one of the best if not the best defensive player of all time but as if that wasn´t enough he also had offensive abilities that could make most forwards and offensive midfielders green with envy. I am not saying that Beckenbauer was a better player than Pele but I am saying that he was more complete.
Robygol89
yes i have the same impression also watching this video but maybe not so advanced… more like e playmaker next to defence…
Robygol89
