ta-fc Posted 7 December 2011 Posted 7 December 2011 Love it... In the interests of a bit of fun I've categorized them into 4... The scrapper - gets wedged leaving an array of bodies in there wake, can't pass 5 yards - David Batty The Player - distributes the ball from anywhere on the pitch to within 2 foot of its target, refuses to tackle, track back or generally move from the centre circle - Garry Parker The Legs - quickest player on the pitch, easily takes any man on, final ball completion is 6/10, would rather jump into the crowd rather than make a 50/50 - Lloyd Dyer The all rounder - possibly the player every team wants, can pass, shoot, dribble and head. Spends too much time filming shampoo commercial's - Lionel Messi Like I said don't shoot me just a bit of fun... Merry Christmas to all.
GLC Posted 7 December 2011 Posted 7 December 2011 the best definitions of the different types of Central Midfielders in the modern game. Anyone care to take the risk and oblige? Just for fun really as they are banded around in various disguises and interpretations. Box-to-box midfielder The term "box-to-box" is often used to refer to the most dynamic all-round/complete midfielders, who provide both defensive and attacking prowess. The most versatile of players, they typically possess exceptional stamina and are usually skilled at tackling, passing, shooting and also good at keeping possession Deep-lying playmaker Some players prefer to set up an attack from a withdrawn position, and are often coined deep-lying playmakers, mainly because of their ability to spread play and dictate the game from a withdrawn position. Despite their deep role, they are not classed as defensive midfielders as tackling and defence are not the main function of their roles, and they may have to be supported by a holding midfielder. Deep-lying playmakers are typically given a moderate amount of defensive responsibilities, but are granted freedom positionally to dictate the play as it evolves, as well as a license to attempt long, riskier balls, to the forwards. Attacking midfielder Two possible positions for an attacking midfielder are indicated in the blue oval.An attacking midfielder is any midfielder who is stationed in a more advanced midfield position to assist goalscoring.[3] The attacking midfielder is an influential position and requires the player to possess good technical abilities, an eye for a pass, shooting, running, and dribbling skills Centre midfielder Centre midfielders play several roles on the field of play, and are probably the most important in terms of setting up attacks. Their position enables them to have an all-round view of the match, and as most of the action takes place in and around their area of the pitch, midfielders often exert the greatest degree of control over how a match is played. This section of the field is often known as a team's "engine room", because great teams rarely succeed without skillful, commanding central midfielders. Defensive Midfielder A defensive midfielders job usually consist of screening the defense by harrying and tackling the opposition teams' attackers and defenders. Covering the positions of full-backs, midfielders and even centre-backs as they advance into attack. Directing the distribution towards the flanks or further up front
