Question: Among the players born before the year 1986, how many of them would remain in his position and defense while the team attacked?
Evidence: players born before the year 1986 refers to strftime('%Y', birthday)<'1986'; players who would remain in his position and defense while the team attacked refers to defensive_work_rate = 'high'; Should consider DISTINCT in the final result;

SQL:
SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT t1.player_name) FROM Player AS t1 INNER JOIN Player_Attributes AS t2 ON t1.player_api_id = t2.player_api_id WHERE STRFTIME('%Y',t1.birthday) < '1986' AND t2.defensive_work_rate = 'high'
