- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 1 พ.ค. 2020
- Traditionally, positions on the field have been referred to by a standard naming convention like Forward, Midfielder, Defender, etc. Recently, the Numbering System is used more frequently. This video explains the rationale behind the numbers and provides player examples for each position.

The numbering system made logical sense in the old 2-3-5 formation
Thanks! I recently made the top team for my age group, the coach and other players would be using these kinds of numbers to describe positions on the field and I would be very confused on what they are talking about. So thanks for helping me understand what my coach and teammates are talking about :)
Number ten has always been a very versatile role: Pelé, Maradona, Platini, Zidane. Playmakers who could score tons of goals as well as leading a counter attack from their own box.
bro ......did you forgot messi!!!!!!!!! #1 playes?
Messi
Great video, very well explained👍Will you be doing any videos on the different player roles? (e.g. Regista, Libero, Trequartista etc)

Excellent video - each roll explained really well , all makes for a better understanding when watching football on TV . Q: can you explain the 'false 9 role' in detail and give examples of players who you think do that roll really well ?
To understand the False 9 role better, check out this video: th-cam.com/video/leUrXgH0Ye8/w-d-xo.html
Excellent video, thank you!
Thanks for the basics❤
Thank you for this video
Thank you, very much clear
Great video with great explanation, really helped me for this year's World Cup! Thank you!
Answer to your question:
Love #10 Luka Modriç. :)
Thank you for a good explanation.
Beautiful Explanation! Thank you!
Top notch explanation. Kudos
Perfect explanation for an American. Thanks
In my opinion 4 4 2 is the best formation in football and if your team has two AMAZING central midfielders, then that’ll be way better than usual
True, it is one of the most balanced formations. For a flat 4-4-2, both your central midfielders will need to be #8. Otherwise, a diamond 4-4-2 needs to be deployed with a #6 and #8.
Great video Soccerspective!
I've been wondering why Messi passes the ball so much, instead of taking the goal himself. Now I get it: that's his job. Thanks for the explanation!
i love your explanation dude
Thank you coach!
Messi would better be described by the false 9 role.
Agreed. He has played in that role quite a lot.
whaen talking about playing false 9 we mean we are not using a real striker we are using actacking midfielder to sit on position of a striker but playing like atacking midfield
@@obe_tz1186 in my head a false 9 is just a centre forward. They play deeper than a striker and act like a midfielder but not in midfield
Awesome! Thanks!
Have learn from your explanations sir.
excellent. thank you!
I’m trying out for the top team in my state, this helps out a lot thanks
I really appreciated your explanation
Great video, well explained all the roles and very great examples you have used.
Decent video 👌
Good explainer thanks
Very good explanation
Great video !
A very good explanation sir I really appreciate it
Him: Some examples of number 6s NGolo Kante: hold me beer
Ok
He is winning Balloond'or if France win the Euro's too
@@SwarajBawankar everhyped
He is more of an 8
@@F0_0 yeah since last season and this one during Champions League matches !! He does go ahead to assist
Modern keepers should participate more in the game as a sweeper-keeper. Like Edwin van der Saar and Manuel Neuer
Great presentation.
Thank you...🙏🙏🙏
Great work
Great video lad. Great explanation for every role, i just wanted to say for good explanation for the number 10 could be wesley sneijder! as he almost won the balon dor

Love this
Thank brother for help.

Dude i have a doubt in double pivot of a 4 2 3 1 formation you have two holding midfielders one on the left half space and the other on right half space. And in the double pivot if the left sided midfielder is a box to box number 8 and the right sided midfielder is the number 6 defensive midfielder, then when your team is playing through the left side you have your box to box midfielder to take part in the attack and progress the ball
but when your team is playing through the right side your team doesn't have a box to box midfielder on the right side instead you only have a number 6. So when your team is playing via right side the defensive midfielder doesnt move that high on the pitch and stays deep. So how can we progress the ball through the right side without a box to box player on the right. Pls reply
Hi,
Thanks for your comment and I hope you have liked the video and subscribed to our channel.
The way the 4-2-3-1 works, your #8 and #6 players are responsible for the entire central area of the pitch, not just the right or left. So, if the ball is on the right flank, both your players would take up positions according to the ball position - which could mean that both are on the right side of the field temporarily.
Formations are just static representations of a system of play. They don't dictate how players play during ball movement and transitions.
Hope this helps!
@@Soccerspective thanks a lot and I've subscribed.
Casemiro is a no. 6 but he as scored quite a lot goals for Madrid and has taken part in attacking plays to moving higher up the pitch ...and then also returning back to his role defensively ...you have to play according to the requirement ....pep's team keep on changing formation during matches👍
Excellent explanation. First time I understood the numbers and what they do. Yes indeed, Messi is a no. 10. The best players are no, 10, so of course, that's what he was. He was also used as a false 9. Now he's no. 30 in PSG. What's that? Pls cut out the music, it interferes with the excellent commentary.
great video
No.7s and number 11s have become inside forwards rather than wingers. Number. 10s have dropped deeper into 3 man midfield and almost play like another 8 ie like Modric.
Agreed 💯
modric is not a 10. he just uses the 10 shirt
Funny to associate it as fixed roles but I always considered as below. It helps to associate strategies and player styles but not mandatory to be in real life game.
1 GK
2 DR / MR
3-4 = CB
5 Defensive mid central, can be the cb according to team formation
6 DL / ML
8 mid central; helps both in defense and attacking, the one called box-to-box.
7 winger position, no matter the left or right side. The one that will run to cross the balls. In a 4-4-2 formation he'll be the MR or ML
9 the attack whatever style is.
10 Usually the most offensive midfielder, playmaker, dribbling, the maestro.
11 can be winger, or second striker based on the team formation.
Back in the days, we used to associate numbers with the position not with roles:
For example, Pirlo is number 6, Messi is number 7, Zidane is number 10, Modric is number 8 and Ronaldinho is number 11.
But guess what? All of these players have a rôle of a playmaker.
Pirlo is deep lying playmaker or regista.
Xavi is a playmaker (in his debut, he was number 6 a regista like pirlo).
Zidane is an advanced playmaker.
Messi and Ronaldinho are wide playmakers.
With that being said :
6 can contain various roles according to the tactics in place, like defensive midfielder or ball winning midfielder or deep lying playmaker
8 also can contain a Box to Box midfielder or a protector midfielder or playmaker
10 can be an advanced playmaker/trequartista like Zidane and Ozil or a support striker/Raumdeuter (nowadays called 9.5 sometimes) like Benzema and Henry or an advanded playmaker/Mezzala like De Bruyne and Kaka.
11 contain wide playmaker or attacking wingers or wide midfielders
., the GK has many roles like helping building the attack from the back as first line of attack and he his leading and organizing the defence and the walls because of his vantage point like a coach on the field , and he is the first line of attack ( to distribute the ball )
Sir, did you watch another video and comment on this one by mistake? The exact sentence mentioned in the video is "The #1 player's role is to mainly be a goalkeeper. There is no alternate role." The purpose of this video is to explain the "primary" function of each role. So, I would recommend watching the video again and editing your comment.
To answer your questions, I have a UEFA A License, US National Youth License and have played football professionally. Thanks for watching Soccerspective!
@@Soccerspective ok sorry nice diplomas but you forgot to detail the other roles of a GK after his main role on this particular video and only watched this one. And despite having many licenses millions of coaches in the world are jobless or work as teachers of sports at schools because the competition in paying football clubs is very tough and does not forgive and they get sacked very fast ..this is what confused me. Because for the average guy they think a GK only stop goals ALL THE TIME. Please detail the unique specifications of each players you mentioned in your vids would be cool :)
excellent video
Thank you
You are the best coch
Gr8 explanation 💥....Soundtrack name?
Well made video
Glad you enjoyed it
Great video 💯
Glad you enjoyed it
Very good video. But you didn't say Lampard or Gerard. They are great No. 8s
Interesting Messi is not a Striker roll #9. Prolific scorer as he is.
Yes.leo Messi plays multiple position .as a cf,rwf,amf,ss
He's best as a cam
@@Midhuncb Messi doesn't play as cf. Forget the line up of 442 or 433. Messi role is mostly cam or false 9, not striker.
Nicely explained and the examples u gave 👏🏽👏🏽🤘🏾👍🏾😇
Can you help me I struggle tracking back and I play right wing 11
Thanks
thanks you pro
Can you please explain the position of the other numbers beyond 10, like 13, 22, etc? Thank you!
Numbers 1 to 11 are the main roles in a football team. They make up the start 11 . The others from 12 and above have no tactical use they are just use for identification of players. When the players on the bench are substituted into a game they take the role of one of the numbers already on the field.
Note: the numbers on the players jersey don't determine their playing or tactical positions, hence a player wear number 23 can playing in any of the starting roles. I hope this helped u understand more a bit
@@innocentbadboymusic3133 Yes, your explanation answered my question. Thank you very much!
#6 is a backline number
#5 is defensive central midfield
(especially 4-4-3 diamond in the midfield)
Literally the only country in the world that insists on calling football soccer. It was invented before "American football"
the first name of ''football '' in england was ''socker'' and then Association football-rugby then association football..then football... the americans are right to call it soccer because in the 18th century in England it was called socker like in socks
@@moha1900 no because the first competitive football league in England was the "football league". Everton FC were St Domingos FC, not SC
Liam read the rest herewww.britannica.com/story/why-do-some-people-call-football-soccer Inevitably, the names would be shortened. Linguistically creative students at the University of Oxford in the 1880s distinguished between the sports of “rugger” (rugby football) and “assoccer” (association football). The latter term was further shortened to “soccer” (sometimes spelled “socker”), and the name quickly spread beyond the campus. However, “soccer” never became much more than a nickname in Great Britain. By the 20th century, rugby football was more commonly called rugby, while association football had earned the right to be known as just plain football.
@@moha1900 so it was still called association "football" that was just slang
This was a amazing video
just a little too loud music..
What position should i play if im short and am kind of slow, but I have good pases and am strong
Central defensive midfielder or central midfielder. I would suggest u not to play on either sides bcz lack of pace would hurt u. Central backs shoudp be a little tall and strong to cope up with aerial duels and stop the attackers.
@@DrShahidKhanJaveed thanks man! Now that I think about it, I really feel very confortable playing on the center.
@@antoniomariona871 u can play as a number 8 box to box cm. Ur strength and passing quality is what a number 8 CM needs the most.
@@aldrinbenny5412 thanks man! Is there an specific example of a player so I can watch videos?
@@antoniomariona871 Scholes, Iniesta, Veratti, De Jong, Kante.
Where did you find the Chelsea vs Juve game??
American football should be called Soccer. Not another way around.
Shut up we can call it whatever we want
@@samueltakata7153 no
Fuck USA
Soccer is the Oxford-er abbreviation for Association. The English created the sport. The English called it Soccer. This is also why most English speaking countries call it Soccer. Anyone who doesn't know this doesn't know the history of the sport.
Or handball lol
whats background music name called ?
Nice
Tans for the video
That's awesome!! Something that I 've noticed the #6 of Brazil are always left backs,the #5 are always defending midfielders and #3 and #4 centre backs. Could you explain me that??
Different countries apply different numbers. Most of south American countries replace number 6 with number 5. In Argentina central defenders are 2&6 (Ayala/Samuel). Left back is 3 and right back is 4.
In England, central backs are 5&6 while central midfielders are 4&8
In Netherlands the defence line is numbered from right to left. RB is 2
CBs are 3&4, LB is 5. In Sweden the entire formation is like that. You have 6&7 DMs, 8&9 AMs, 10&11 CFs.
O cara do vídeo tirou as informações do cool dele
Super
This video is having 433k views by the time I am watching it 😁
Luca Modrich THE example of the 10
Any examples of current Sweepers? I know they're rare but there's gotta be a few out there right?
After the role of the Sweeper was pioneered by Franz Beckenbauer and Gaetano Scirea, the most recent examples that come to mind are Lucio at Bayer Leverkusen and Bayern Munich. Another example is Traianos Dellas with the Greece National team. Unfortunately, the new norm is the Sweeper Keeper. With goalkeepers like Manuel Neuer playing as the sweeper, this position has almost become non-existent.
Ederson
Crazy how alphonso davies can play LB and winger. Only 19 years old.
Coz of his offensive quality, speed and finishing. Being a full back u already have the traits of playing offensive on the flank
make a video Soccer Positions by skills
Good
Ronaldo used to play as a number 11 and cut inside while taking on defenders until he was older recently we see him as a 9 striker. Because now the speed has slightly decreased
This man is a barca fan
I taught I was the only one that noticed
@@aweadejoke4111 yh, I peeped the bias
Football is a game full positions and responsibilities
Ronaldo is a winger at heart
Very informative
I should play number #7
Me too
