Sir, I wanted to ask you that defenders have same potential as attackers have? 

Which is best for long run?

Hi Ishaan,

I think that it is harder for defenders now to reach the very top of the game.  However you can still become a very good player being a defender.  If you search for some video of Joo Se Hyuk, you will see how good you can get as a defender.
