S8 Ep28: Who are the best right backs in the world? Squawka Talker Round Table

The Squawka Talker Podcast takes a deep dive into the rise and rise of the right-back in world football, looking at the different types of player within the most evolving position on the pitch in 2022.

Host Feargal Brennan is joined by Squawka's Chief Writer Muhammad Butt and Football Scouting and Analytics Expert Josh Williams (@DistanceCovered) to discuss the right-backs tearing up tactic sheets in 2022, from inverted playmakers and freight trains to shutdown corners and accidental forwards.

The team look into the metrics behind Trent Alexander-Arnold, João Cancelo, Reece James, Achraf Hakimi, Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Matt Doherty - amongst others - to see what characteristics make them the best at their role and see if they can be compared to the legends of Dani Alves, Cafu and Javier Zanetti.
