Becky Sauerbrunn awarded her the title of best defender worldwide
Sauerbrunn is more valuable than individual accolades. She plays the role of a facilitator and allows her teammates to shine. Although she isn't flashy, her statistics don't stand out on the FIFA website. However, that doesn't mean she's a less effective defender.
Although she is the two-time NWSL player of the year, she doesn't consider her to be the world's greatest. Her humble nature might be what makes it stand out amongst the best players in the world. This attitude could help her improve as an opponent's defender. And her detailed analysis of the game could be what has made her the best defender in all of the world.
