Becky Sauerbrunn voted her the best defender in all of Europe
Sauerbrunn's contribution to the team is more important than the individual accolades. She helps her teammates shine and plays the facilitator role. She isn't flashy on paper and her stats won't leap out of the FIFA site's glossy FIFA site. But, she is still a great defender.
She is the NWSL's defender of year twice. However, she doesn’t consider herself the greatest player in the world. It may be her humble nature that makes her stand out amongst the world's best. She might be able to improve her game as a defensive player, and her thorough analysis of the game may explain why she has been named the best defense in the world.
