Franz Beckenbauer. One of the most influential figures in the history of German and world football. You don't win 2 Ballon d'ors as a defender for nothing.
Player, manager, president, ambassador, you name it. Franz Beckenbauer has done it all and achieved unprecedented success in just about every one of those positions.
Suffice to say that Beckenbaur was good. However, the question of the day is how good?

Yes. A few were better than him defensively (Baresi, Nesta, Figueroa, Scirea, Moore, Maldini), but as an overall package no defender comes close. If he continued playing in midfield, he would've probably become the greatest midfielder of all-time as well - he is simply the best non-attacking footballer of all-time.

Despite the current managerial memes, I truly think Koeman deserves to be up there amongst these, alongside Frank De Boer. Not on the scale of Figueroa, Maldini, Moore and Co. But certainly an honourable mention imo.

Few years ago, my dad introduces me to Franz Beckenbauer My dad has been watching football since his childhood in the 70s Few years ago, he used to watch old matches, particularly 1974 and 1990 world cup final on KZfaq and talks greatly about him About how he was a calm and composure kind of player, how he orchestrated the whole game from the back, and what a great leader he was on the pitch He also said that as a manager, he's still calm and composure like his playing days Rarely screams and when he needs to talk to certain players, he calls them to came to the bench Since then, i became a Bayern and German fans like my father ever was

Beckenbauer wasn't a defender, in the *_strictest_* sense. He was a " total footballer " . He played as an attacking midfielder during the 1966 & 1970 world cup's . Moved to sweeper with the national team around 1971. And even then. The role for him, was to have more space, from which to launch, rapid fire counter attack's, by bringing the ball out from the back. Beckenbauer could play anywhere on the pitch, in any position. He could pass, dribble, tackle, head, shoot, take free kicks. All at a tremendous elite, world class level. Definitely one of the three best European players I've seen.

At the beginning of his career, Beckenbauer was a center-half with Bayern in a 2-3-2-3 WW-Metodo tactic, but the coach Zlatko Čajkovski changed the tactic to be a 4-2-4 to adapt the team for the european matches, which means he shifted Franz in the defensive back four and the right half and left half stayed in the midfield, but Franz still had the same influence concerning Bayern attacks. With the Mannshaft, you're right he became the official sweeper after the 1970 world cup, but only because Willi Schulz and Schnellinger stopped with the national team. For example, against Scotland in October 1969, Franz was a sweeper in a 1-4-2-3 tactic with Schulz and Fichtel as stoppers.

He won the Bundesliga five times and the DFB Pokal four times He won the Championsleague three times in a row in 74' 75' 76' He won the Uefa Cup in 67` He won a Worldcup in 74` He won a European Cup in 72` He played in the infamous 1966 Worldcup final He played in the "Greatest match of all time" between Germany and Italy in the 1970 Worldcup semifinals, where he dislocated his shoulder, but stayed on the field carrying his dislocated arm in a sling, as Germany had already used their two permitted substitutions. He won the Ballondor twice He won the 1990 Worldcup as Germanys Coach He was the heart and soul of Bayern Munich, RIP Kaiser

Cruyff always said that Di Stefano was his idol and model. Pelé and Hidegkuti admired him. Di Stefano was the most influential player in Europe because European football had lagged behind South America in terms of level due to WW2 and Alfredo inspired every coaches in the european continent because he was "too futuristic" (and still is by the modern standards). High technical level, killer instinct, physical condition, stamina, tactical awareness, he had everything. Without Di Stefano, there's no Cruyff or the offensive sweeper Beckenbauer.

The chilean defender Elias Figueroa was considered the best defender in the World Cup in Germany in 1974, where Germany was the champion with Beckenbauer as a captain.

I agree. There’s Matthias Sammer, but his injury ruined him. And he don’t have the elegance and royalty feel of Beckenbauer.

The guy is wrong about Beckenbauer marking Cruyff out of the final. It was Berti Vogts who man marked Cruyff in that game.
