Tracking Tracking is one of the hardest parts of soccer because of the game’s constant ebb and flow. At times, it seems like a thousand things are happening at once. Yet, it’s still the defender’s responsibility to read and analyze all that information and consistently pick the appropriate course of action. The best defenders are capable of watching the ball and tracking opposition’s runs at the same time. Tracking does not necessarily mean chasing after opponents, chasing a game and players are foolish.
