Since its launch in 1992, the English Premier League has witnessed the passage of the best defenders in the history of football. Sir Alex Ferguson says, “Attack gives you wins in matches, and defense gives you titles” A strong defensive organization is the most important factor for top coaches, including Ferguson and Portuguese Jose Mourinho.

The Chelsea team led by Jose Mourinho in the 2004-2005 season is still the best in the Premier League so far. John Terry, Ashley Cole, Marcel Desailly and Ricardo Carvalho in the defense line would not have been achieved without them.
