A midfielder is the association football position. The midfielders are generally positioned in the field between the defenders and their team's front. Some midfielders play a disciplined defensive role, breaking the attack, and/or known as a defensive midfielder. Others blur the boundaries, become more mobile and efficient: they are often referred to as midfielders, playmates, box-to-box, or midfielder holder. The number of midfielders in the team and assigned roles depends on team formation; the collective group of these players on the field is sometimes referred to as a midfielder .
Most managers assign at least one midfielder to disrupt an opponent's attack, while others may be tasked with creating goals, or having the same responsibility between attack and defense. The midfielder is a player who usually travels the greatest distance during the game. Because the midfielder practically has the most possession during the game, they are one of the best players on the pitch.

Central midfield
Center or central midfield is a player whose role is roughly divided between attack and defense and dominates the game around the middle of the field. These players will try to pass the ball to the attacking midfielders of the team and forward and also can help their team's attack by making a run into the opponent's penalty area and trying to shoot into his own goal.
When the opposing team has the ball, the central midfielder may step down to protect the goal or move forward and push the ball-opposition carrier to recover the ball. A central midfielder who defends their goal will move in front of their central defender to block a long shot by the opponent and possibly keep track of the opposing midfielder making a run towards the goal.
The 4-3-3 and 4-5-1 formations each use three central midfielders. The 4-4-2 formation can use two central midfielders, and in a 4-2-3-1 formation one of the two deeper midfielders can be a central midfielder.
Box-to-box midfielder
The term the box-to-box midfielder refers to a hard-working and well-versed midfielder who makes them skilled in defending and attacking. Therefore these players can trace back to their own boxes to create tackles and block shots and also run into the opposing box to try to score goals. Trend changes and deviations from the standard 4-4-2 formation to the 4-2-3-1 formation impose restrictions on the typical box-to-box midfielder of the 80s, as both teams midfield roles are now often divided into "holders" or "content maker".

Midfield width
Left and right midfielders have a balanced role between attack and defense, similar to central midfielders, but they are positioned closer to the touchline of the field. They may be asked to cross the ball into the opposing penalty area to create scoring chances for their teammates, and when defending they can put pressure on opponents who try to cross.
The most common modern formations involving the left and right midfielders are the 4-4-2, 4-4-1-1, 4-2-3-1 and 4-5-1 formations. Jonathan Wilson describes the development of a 4-4-2 formation: "... the winger became a wide midfielder, a shuttler, someone who might be expected to cross the ball but also intended to make defense changes." The noteworthy example of a right midfielder is David Beckham.
Half wings
Historical position half wing ( half back ) is given to midfielders playing near the sides of the field. It becomes obsolete because wide players with defensive tasks tend to become more part of the defense as full-back.
Defensive midfielder
The defensive midfielder is a midfield player who is focused on protecting their team goals. These players may defend the zone in front of their team's defense, or men mark a certain opposition striker. The defensive midfielder can also move into full-back or center-back positions if the players move forward to join the attack. Sergio Busquets describes his attitude: "The coach knows that I am an obedient player who likes to help and if I have to run to the wings to cover someone's position, good." A good defensive midfielder needs good positional awareness, anticipating the opposing game, marking, overcoming, interception, passing and stamina and great power (to overcome them).
Matching the midfielder
A deep holding or deep midfield remains close to their team's defense, while the other midfielder can move forward to attack. The defensive midfielder may also have a responsibility when their team has the ball. This player will perform the shortest and simplest operands to the more attacking team members but can try some of the more difficult baits depending on the team strategy. Marcelo Bielsa is considered a pioneer for the use of defensive midfielders in defense. This position can be seen in diamond formations 4-2-3-1 and 4-4-2.
Initially, a defensive midfielder, or "wrecker", and a playmaker, or "creator", are often thrown alongside each other as the two central midfielders holding the team. Destroyers are usually responsible for creating tackles, retaking possession, and distributing balls to the creator, while the creator is responsible for maintaining possession and keeping the ball moving, often with long baits to the side, with older playmaker's deeper or "regista ". Early examples of destroyers are Nobby Stiles, Herbert Wimmer, Marco Tardelli, while later examples include Claude MakÃÆ' © lÃÆ'à © and Javier Mascherano, although some of these players also have qualities from other midfielders types, and therefore are not limited to roles single. Early examples of a creator are GÃÆ' à © rson, Glenn Hoddle, and Sunday Oliseh, while the newer example is Xabi Alonso, although the latter also has qualities that are mostly associated with operators or destroyers. The latest and third surviving midfielder type develops as a box-to-box midfielder, or "carrier", not entirely destructive or creative, capable of winning back possession and then progressing from a deeper position either by distributing the ball to his teammate and making a late run to the box, or by carrying the ball itself; The latest examples of players of this type are Fernandinho, Yaya TourÃÆ'à ©, and Bastian Schweinsteiger, while Sami Khedira is a destroyer with a tendency to carry, and Luka Modri? is a carrier with some quality registries.
Extremely playmaker
A deep playmaker is a defensive midfielder who specializes in ball skills like passing, rather than defensive skills like tackling. When these players have a ball, they can try again or pass more complex than any other player holding. They may try to set the tempo of their team game, retain possession, or build the game through a short exchange, or they may try to pass the ball long into the center forward or winger, or even pass briefly to the team in the hole, the area between the opponent's defender and midfielder. In Italy, the deep playmaker is called "regista", while in Brazil, it is known as "meia-armador".
Writer Jonathan Wilson describes Xabi Alonso's role: "although capable of tackling, [he] focuses on keeping the ball moving, occasionally sweeping long baits to the side to change the angle of attack."
Center half back
The center back position of the 'back center' gradually retreats from the midfield line to provide increased protection against the central attacker - a dedicated defensive role is still commonly referred to as the middle as the legacy of its origin.
Attacking midfield
An attacking midfielder is a midfield player who is positioned in an advanced midfield position, usually between midfield and team attackers, and who has a major offensive role.
Some attacking midfielders are called trequartisti or fantasisti (Italian: three-quarters specialist , the playmaker creative between forward and midfield), who are usually mobile, creative and highly skilled players, known for their nimble touch, vision, ability to shoot from distance, and skill. However, not all attacking midfielders are trequartistas - some very vertical attacking midfielders and basically an additional attacker who is in charge of connecting the game, lifting the ball, or giving the final bait, the secondary striker.
According to positions along the pitch, attacking midfield can be divided into the left , right and central attacking midfielder role but mostly it is important he is the striker behind forwards. A central attacking midfielder may be referred to as a playmaker, or number ten (due to association of jersey number 10 with this position). A good attacking midfielder needs good passing skills, vision, ability to make long shots, and solid dribbling skills.
Advanced Playmaker
These players usually act as offensive axis of the team, and are sometimes said to be "playing in the hole," although this term can also be used as something deep. The attacking midfielder is an important position that requires players to have superior technical skills in terms of passing and dribbling, as well as, perhaps more importantly, the ability to read the opponent's defense in order to pass a defense-splitting pass to the striker.
The main role of this specialist midfielder is to create good shooting and goal opportunities by using superior sight, control, and technical skills, by making a cross, through the ball, and headed to the knockdown to a teammate. They can try to organize their own shooting opportunities by dribbling or doing give-and-go with teammates. Attacking midfielders can also run into the opponent's penalty area to shoot from other teammates bait.
Where a creative attacking midfielder, advanced playmaker, is often used, he is generally a team player, and often wears T-shirt number 10. Thus, teams are often built to allow their attacking midfielders to roam freely and create situations as demanded. One popular formation is the "diamond" 4-4-2 (or 4-1-2-1-2), in which attacking and defensive midfielders are attacked to replace a pair of more traditional central midfielders. Known as "fantasista" or "trequartista" in Italy, in Brazil, the offensive playmaker is known as "iia meia atacante , "while in Argentina and Uruguay, it is known as" enganche . "
Invalid attacking midfielder
The false attacker midfielder has been used in Italian football to portray a player who appears to play as an attacking midfielder in a 4-3-1-2 formation, but which eventually goes deeper into the midfield, pulling opponents out of position and creating space for exploitation by teammates make a running attack; the fake attack midfielder will eventually sit in the central midfield role and serve as a deep playmaker. The fake attack midfielder is therefore usually a creative and tactically smart player with good vision, technique, movement, passing ability, and remote attacking ability. He also has to be a hard-working player, who can read the game and help the team survive.
"False 10 "or" central winger "
"Wrong 10" or "middle wing" is a type of midfielder, which is different from a fake attack midfielder. Just like "false 9," the particularity lies in the fact that, unlike the traditional playmaker who remains behind the striker in the middle of the field, the false 10 goal is to drift wide when it has a ball to help both the winger and the fullback to weigh the wings. This means two problems for the opposing midfielder: do they let 10 false deviations wide, and his presence, along with the winger and the defender, creates a three-man advantage over two; or they follow the wrong 10, but leave the space in the middle of the field for the winger or midfielder who move fast forward to be exploited. The 10-year-old is usually a traditional winger who is told to play in the middle of the field, and their natural way of playing makes them widen and look for delivery into the box for teammates. Sometimes, false-10 can also work in different ways beside false-9, usually in 4-6-0 formation, posing as a 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 formation. When another forward or false-9s falls in and pulls the defender away from the false-10s, creating space in the middle of the field, false-10 will then surprise the defender by exploiting this space and moving out of position once more, often doing offensive dribbling running into front toward goal, or run into a pass from false-9, which in turn allows them to create scoring opportunities or go for the goal itself.
Winger
In modern football, the term winger or wide player refers to non-defender players playing on the left or right side of the field. These terms may apply to left or right midfielders, left or right attacking midfielders, or left or right front. Left or right back like the rear wing or full back is generally not called a wing.
In the popular 2-3-5 formation at the end of the 19th century, the wingers remained close to the field touchline, and were expected to cross the ball into the center and front of the team. Traditionally, the wings are pure attacking players and are not expected to track and survive. This began to change in the 1960s. In the 1966 World Cup, England manager Alf Ramsey did not pick wings from the quarter-finals and beyond. The team is known as "Wingless Wonders" and leads to a modern 4-4-2 formation.
This has led to most modern players having a more demanding role in the sense that they are expected to provide defensive protection for their full backs and track back to retrieve the ball, as well as provide a skilled cross for the center forward and attackers. Some of the forward players can operate as a winger behind a lone striker. In the midfield of three players, specialist winger is sometimes placed on the wing alongside the central midfielder or playmaker.
Even more demanding is the wing defender's role, where wide players are expected to provide defense and attack. Because the winger's role can be classed as a forward or midfielder, so this role obscures the division between defender and midfielder.
The winger is an attacking midfielder placed in a wide position near the touchlines. Wingers like Stanley Matthews or Jimmy Johnstone used to be classed forward in the traditional W-shaped formation, and officially known as "Outside Right" or "Left Outside," but as tactics evolved over the last 40 years, the wings have descended into more field positions in and is now usually classified as part of the midfield, usually in 4-4-2 or 4-5-1 formations (but while the team is attacking, they tend to resemble 4-2-4 and 4- 3-3 formations respectively ).
The winger's responsibilities include:
- Provide "wide presence" as a passing option on the side.
- To defeat an opponent's wing defender with skill or with speed.
- Reading passes from midfield that gives them clear crossing opportunities, as they widen, or give them clear scoring chances while cutting into the goal.
- To double the opposing winger, especially when he is being "double-marked" by both defenders and full-fledged wings.
The prototypical winger is fast, tough and enjoys a 'hug' touchline, that is, run down close to the attack line and send a cross. However, players with different attributes can flourish in the wings as well. Some wingers prefer to cut the infield (as opposed to widening) and pose a threat as a playmaker by playing the diagonal pass forward or taking a shot at goal. Even players who are not considered fast, have been successfully relegated as wingers at the club and international level because of their ability to create the game from the wings. Sometimes the winger is given a free role to explore the front line and be released from defensive responsibility.
Typical capabilities of the wings include:
- Technical skills to beat full-back in a one-on-one situation.
- Pace, to beat the full-back one-on-one.
- Overflow capability when wide.
- Excellent off-the-ball capability when reading feedback from midfield or from fellow attackers.
- Good passing and calm ability, to maintain ownership while in opposition territory.
- The modern winger must also feel comfortable on both wings in order to adapt to the rapid tactical changes required by the coach.
Although the wing is a familiar part of football, the use of the wings is by no means universal. There are many successful soccer teams operating without wings. A famous example is Milan, who usually play in narrow midfield diamond formations or in Christmas tree formations (4-3-2-1), relying on full backs to provide the required width under the wing.
Inverted Winger
A inverted winger is a modern tactical development from a traditional winger position. Most wing players are placed on both sides of the field on their feet, with right footed players on the right and left foot on the left. It assumes that assigning players to their natural side ensures a stronger cross as well as greater ball protection along the touch line. However, when the position is reversed and the winger is playing outside on the opposite side (ie the right footed player as the left flanking winger), they effectively become support buffers and mainly take a role in attack.
Contrary to traditionally pulling the opponent defender out and down to the side before crossing the ball near the line-by-line, positioning the winger on the opposite side of the field allows him to cut the 18-yard box, either threading past between defenders or taking a shot on goal using dominant feet. This offensive tactic has found popularity in modern games due to the fact that it provides traditional wings of increased mobility as playmakers and scorers, as Domenico Berardi from a left-footed Sassuolo who achieved 30 career goals faster than any player in the last half century. Serie A football. Not only the upside-down wing players are able to push the wing-backs to their weak sides, but they are also capable of spreading and forcing other teams to maintain deeper as forward and wings toward goal, ultimately creating more chances score a goal.
Other midfielders in this tactical arcade include Lionel Messi and Gareth Bale, as well as Megan Rapinoe from USWNT. Clubs like Real Madrid often choose to play their winger on the "wrong" side for this reason; former Real Madrid coach JosÃÆ'à © Mourinho often plays ÃÆ' ngel Di MarÃÆ'a on the right and Cristiano Ronaldo on the left. Former Bayern Munich manager Jupp Heynckes often plays Arjen Robben's left foot on the right and Franck Ribà © right on the left side. One of the leading practitioners playing from both sides is the German winger JÃÆ'ürgen Grabowski, whose flexibility helped Germany to third place at the 1970 World Cup, and the world title in 1974.
