Playing different positions is so key to development. I was always the best finisher on my club team growing up, but my teammates had trouble getting me the ball. The coach moved me to CAM and I really didn’t want to. I learned to be the playmaker and get them the ball. I also found that it created a lot more opportunities for me to score. I was able to go much further in soccer because of this accidental change, and I would have never been ID’d for higher opportunities if I didn’t move positions.

As someone who has try-outs this weekend and knows just the basics of soccer, this really helps. Thank you and keep up the good work! Haha, I know what position I'm going for 😉
Advantages : 1- fast, i've never saw someone out running me lol . 2- good crosser and good at short passing. 3-improved my weak foot and using it for trivela shots and passes. 4-great stamina, I always stay keep my self together and the last who gets tired. 5- i can shoot with both feets and knuckle balls. 6- i trained on my controls and trying to control the ball with every part of my body so where ever the ball hits me i know where is it going, back , chest , thighs, head , and my feets. Disadvantages: 1- my vision is not that good, cant really count on switching sides, always pass it back to a midfielder. 2- i'd say my dribbling is 4/10 , but i've been training on them lately. I live in france and i would like to join the "stade brestois 29", they were playing in ligue 1 but now they are playing now in ligue 2. Do you think i can join them? How can i contact them or what should i say to them? Im 21 years old, 5'8 hight Keep dreaming guy's and everything is possible!
+William Smith cant imagine my self in that position lol , it take lots of responsibility, but i'll work on them man, hopefully i play in a pro club! Thanks mate :)
+Sultan Musa yh started to play yesterday, at least 10 matchs on a 5v5 terrain just to see my self and then im sure they will let me in 😄. So when i go back to france im confident. i still dont have a style of playing but im coping bale style lol.
+TMD Gamer6 Man,can you help me?I saw every video about positions.My dribble is 9/10,I have a good pass technique,I am not the fastest,but I am fast,I have vision 8/10,and I have ok stamina.which position should I play?
You are the greatest man alive. I just started soccer on a freshman team, and everyone there is skilled. This video makes me feel like I may have a chance with Right Fullback. Thank you so much.
So far i played every position and i basically tell my coach to use me where you need me. But my teammates don't really understand their position jobs and always think im trying to make them look bad when i tell them what they should do.
Good video with clear thoughts and suggestions being offered. Used to play as a defensive midfielder/right back & basically taught myself to appreciate the work load of both positions & their relative importance. Individuals really get a sense of how to read the game in my opinion from being in defence or as a defensive midfielder.

Thank you! My daughter just started playing soccer and I don’t know the game. Your videos are so helpful. I’m so excited to see where this journey takes us ❤
this is a very useful video for all the budding soccer coaches particularly i got a new idea from this, regarding 4-2-3-1 for my team thanks pl keep posting such videos
@Adiyat Rahman lmao 3-4-3 and especially 3-2-3-2 are far worse, especially defensively. 4-2-3-1 is very good especially if you've a very good CF, who's both quick but especially strong and tall. Someone who can hold the ball well, a targetman. In this formation you want both your backs to be able to both defend and attack, both should have a very good stamina. That way when defending your have 4 defenders and 2 defensive midfielders, and when attacking you've a numerous advantage (since the backs are moving up and you find yourself with 5 attacking players plus the striker.
@Adiyat Rahman Chelsea play a similar formation as what I said, as wel as some Bundesliga teams. 4-4-2 is far too set back, Barça switched from 4-3-3 to 4-4-2 and it's as boring as ever. 4-3-3 is the classical one and maybe most used one. (in various forms). 4-2-2-2 is being used as well, but it's not as strong defensively and you need specific players to play that formation. Quick note: a 4-2-3-1 doesn't always mean your 2 DM's do nothing but defending.... They play as 2 pivots, they're thinking ahead as well... And of course if you don't use a 10, you don't need 2 DM's, just an 8 who roams (a box to box 8), next to a holding 6 and a normal CM for example.
@Adiyat Rahman a 4-2-3-1 can be a 4-3-3 too if you think of it... (just a 4-3-3 but with a real target striker, the cam goes back and forward (like KDB), one DM thinks ahead and moves up when he can (like Xavi).
Thank you so much, this video was so helpful. I have a soccer game today and you helped me be like "even if my coach does not put me where I want to, it is ok!" Thanks for encouraging me!
Damn this just motivates me. Thank you! I never play soccer, and I really want to. So thank you for helping me to know more about soccer, God Bless to you!
I have not really played on a real team before but I met the coach during the summer and he asked me to play for my school. I wanted to play striker (just like everyone els) but i noticed that my best shot on Varsity is as a defender. Im about 145-150 pounds i bench 205, I'm fast, good at closing in attackers, taking the ball from them and my instinct is what i use most of the time to not fall for the fake faints and dribbles. But recently i have been watching your videos and it have been helping me a lot man. Keep up the good work Dylan!!
I'm quick and sharp, but really short. I play as a Right Winger for my team, however sometimes I feel i don't help my team enough as I tend to lose the ball due to my weak physique. Or, my team doesn't trust me enough. Can someone please tell me what I can do to solve these problems, and gain confidence?
+IIXercesII dont worry about your height. you can work on your physique, but MESSI is extremely short he's only 5"7. There's definitely advantages to being a smaller dude, and if you quicken up and get really focused and sharp, what you think right now is a defect can make you superior. (Messi uses his short stature to be very lithe and quick as a forward for exp.
Megatwilightwarrior Thank you so much dude! That's really helped my confidence, I need to prove to my teammates that I'm good enough to handle the ball and keep possession. Should I keep playing Right Wing or should I change up?
IIXercesII I think it depends on what you want to do most. I dont know if you play for a school team or club or what not but try playing both positions with friends or if you play for a school team try playing a role aside from winger in a club. The only real way to know what you enjoy most is by trying it, and I promise you, you'll be best at what you enjoy most because thatll make practicing and games more fun and help you focus.
Megatwilightwarrior That's one of the best advice I've received in a long time, I play for my school as well as my club, I play right wing in both teams. I've always played as a winger, I am not trusted enough to play CDM or CM due to my physique unfortunately. However, I will try to play in different positions preferably an attacking role. Thank you so much!
5'7" ish 110 lbs Pretty skinny Advantages: Pretty decent dribbling, good at finding space, good at picking out passes, able to accelerate extremely fast Disadvantages: sorta low stamina, bad at tackling, weak crosses/long balls I currently play at right mid, sometimes left mid/attacking mid and sometimes even striker. What do yall suggest? And based on the positions I listed what should I improve
I always play centre mid for my team and I'm pretty good at it I have scored 13 goals so far and its my 2 month here so I guess this is my personal record for goals BTW I play in u13
I'm 16 and I'm just starting to play soccer again in a team, it's been 4 years. Also I'm 6'1 My advantages are: + good dribbling + good passing + decent shot + good positioning + like to lead the game My disadvantages are: - quite slow - panic quite fast when under pressure - first touch - defensive timing
BDXVI Advantages: good at shooting, great vision, short passing, medium passing, strong, not fastest but not slowest Disadvantages: long passing/switching sides, headers, weak foot, stamina What am I?? 5’11 i have played as false 9 and attacking midfield, and winger, absolutely hate defending and not my best position
Advantage: 1-Fast,not many can catch up 2-Dribbling is perfect,I can beat defender easy 3-Stamina is okay,But I trying to improve 4-Defend is good,I can easy get the ball for my team 5-great at short passing and Crossing is okay,I trying to improve 6-Good at free kick disadvantage: 1-I'm bad at control,I don't know why😭 2-I Can't shoot with my left foot,I can only shoot with my right foot 3-I'm bad at long passing Other things: I'm 13 and my height is 5ft 9in,My dreams is to become a Chelsea F.C. Footballer WHAT POSITION SHOULD I PLAY!
What position should I play? 9/10 Pace 7/10 Shooting 8/10 Passing 6/10 Dribbling 8/10 Defending 7/10 Stamina I usually play as a LB or CB Any suggestions?
ManLikeKnuckle6 IMO I think you can play as a striker as stats I'd quite high you have got Good speed and dribbling decent but your shooting is actually good. If not striker you could an CAM as your passing is a 9 out of ten.
What position should I play Advantages -Tall -I can take free kicks/long shots -I can use both feet -I am strong and a good defender -I am good with penalties -I take corners -I can curve and knuckle the ball -Rabona -Great short and long passer Disadvantages -slow -not good at skills -hit the post a lot I usually play CB,CDM,CM,LB and RB
I would love to play at Left Back, becuase after watching of videos of Azplicueta, Alba, Alaba, etc. , you are involved both in the attack and the defense. Another thing, I figured out is you have to be a buff guy to play the fullback position. I am not looking to play pro, but more at a rec level. The only problem for playing this position is my lack of stamina.
Well your stamina is what of the most important in that position, along with speed. Your defelsive ability and crosses, also not simply crossing but also knowing where and to who, are the most important things on that position.
Thank you very much to explain the football positions! (I speak Espanish) I have been playing some positions like as goalkeeper, right back, and right wing, nowadays I'm taking some football coaching curces and I like to teach all I know.
Hi Dylan thanks for this video !! I would request u to make a video on HOW TO DO FANCY SOCCER TRICKS CONFIDENTLY ON THE FIELD. I know u follow the principle of BEING SIMPLE but As a soccer player every player has a desire to beat players by using fancy tricks like step overs , scissors ,Hocus pocus etc. Ill be Glad ...... if u do so THANKYOU
I’m fast , quick , good dribilling, good skills, good short passing , got the best stamina out there , good free kicks , great definition , good ball control . Disadvantages : I’m skinny but I’m working to get stronger, not very good with my left , horrible heading , bad defense. I’m 14 I can play as a Left Wing or the 10, I can also play Right Wing
Please help, What position should I play? 7/10 Pace 9/10 stamina 8/10 Shooting 8.5/10 Passing 7/10 Dribbling 7.5/10 Defending 166cm Right-Footed Can constantly be jogging around and sprint when necessary.
hi, its a great video on position and its responsibilities, i ve been coaching u/10 u/12 and u/14 teams and had the issues with especially the u/10 and u/12 players of whom all wants to be strikers , its difficult answering them and especially when the parents get involved , it becomes worse , with your video its made it so easy for me to explain to players their responsibilities and duties of being in that position. iam taking a lot from this video for my next class . thank you very much
played striker last season, spent whole off season getting fit and fast and being a better striker, understanding the game and being an accurate/calm goal kicker...gets to this season, playing goalkeeper and centre back whaaaat?didnt see that coming so learning a new skill now and realising i am suited to this position but i get the whole wanting to be striker thing...thanks for the vid
I am five foot one I play leftback am very fast but some how I don't understand that position I can't defend to good so what position should I tell my coach to move me to that will best fit me
advantages: I am great at defending in every situation and i can read the game very well. I am good at passing both short and long i have a good vision and i am a team player( in most situations i prefer to pass than dribble) i am very good at shooting with curve i dont have a weak foot Disadvantages: I am not very fast neither strong sometimes i get nervous when i have the ball my ball control and dribbling arent great i have never played in a team before I am aiming to play at an amateur team just for fun. I am 17 years old 6'1 feet. Do you guys think i can make the team? if yes which position do you think suits me the most? I would like to play as a LW cause i love cutting inside and shooting
Football is life I think because of your skills defensive midfielder could be your position. But if you train your strength you could be better in that position.
Sir but I'm 15 playing in an academy from 5mknths and I'm not in our team yet😞 I'm Lefty that's why I want to play right wing just like Salah but there is 2Rw already so ?!
Ghazala Farzana work hard, work with your righty let the coach know you want to play as right wing. But you have to work hard improve in evey way than the other winger.
Very good video. For better Visibility to learners, I suggest you repeat this video, yet utilizing Different Colors for Each position (Defenders Red, Defensive Midfielder purple, etc), but again you explain in a very clear manner, thank you very much
Pros : strong, aggressive, very good ground passer, amazing shooter, perfect weak foot, good at stand tackling, good jumper Cons : Slow, below average dribbler, not good at slide tackling.
This comment is 4 years old but, I think you can play as a slower version of Didrier Drogba. Bully the defenders, body them, and make more runs instead of asking for the ball on your feet for dribbling.
Which position should i be? -I have a very good shooting foot I shoot the hardest and very precise - I have a very good vision but my passes doesn’t always go through but I am working on it -And I am pretty fast but my acceleration is not the best - And my crosses are pretty good and I am pretty strong Things I am bad at: -I am not the best at dribbling -From when I get the ball it takes some time for me to get control of the ball before I can run -My stamina is a little bad
I dunno if anyone still would see this, but I'm a young and aspiring player (13 yrs old), and was wondering where I should play. Before this season I played up front (as a forward or sometimes even on the wings) or CAM, but this year, due to some squad injuries and lack of defenders, I played CB/centre-half for my team, as my coach desperately needed someone to fill in that spot. At first, I was thoroughly disappointed, contemplating how I, one of our team's best players (IMO at that time) was playing defense. In my eyes, the goal scorers/even assisters were the ones who got the glory and were the most important/fun positions to play. I always wanted to push up, but my partner CB had the same ideals, and he just did it, not caring about overall team performance but rather individual play. I, therefore, was stuck back, playing deep (my coach was defensive minded and we only played a high line against super aggressive teams that had superior speed on the wings). My coach consoled me about how improtant defense was and I was still disappointed for some time, till I realized that my strengths were positioning, soccer/football IQ and intelligence, determination, grit, etc. Mentally, I was a very strong player who understood tactics. This is why I played deeper than my partner CB who sometimes went all the way up to, per se, where the attacking midfielders were stationed. I then realized how fitting defense was for me, and explored areas. My strengths are as follows: (and in no particular oder or preference) - long shots - intelligence -positioning -set pieces -speed - touch and ball control -passes -vision -long pings/balls -reading the game -decision making - a bit above average at dribbling (I'd put this in an entirely different "mediocre" section if I could Weaknesses: - stamina (I have quite a bit, it's just not as good as I'd like it to be - skill moves (my main weakness, I'm not unpredictable and flashy, not really a showboat. - a bunch of other tiny technical errors - bad weak foot -headers -weak physique All in all, I think I'd like to play CDM or holding mid like Sergio Busquets, RWB (I'm right footed BTW), or just midfield. I liked paying CB but I want to play up a bit more, so I like the CDM option the best. I feel as though I can defend with my newfound knowledge of playing CB, can play the long balls, have the vision, and most importantly the intelligence and discipline required to play CDM. My only issues are that people tell me I'm still young, and have a lot of room for improvement and could very easily change positions. Playing RWB as a fullback is also a good option, as I can use my speed more effectively. My crossing is average, and not the best. Also, another issue with playing in the CDM position is my weakness of headers. Oh, I'm good at them, but I couldn't continually do them as my head just starts hurting. This is not the biggest of issues as I can train headers and improve. I do feel as though CDM is the best option for me ow, but what do you guys think? Thanks! P.S. - If you guys do reccomend CDM or any other position, please back up your opinion with validity and a fair amount of detail eg., don't say: play striker cuz it's fun, etc. I'd also know what areas of the game those postions and/or me as an individual should work on, and if you can, how to work on those areas. Again, thanks!
Naveen Ram In my opinion play as a CDM just like you said watch Sergio Busquets perfect example. My backup is that you are perfect combination of a box-to-box midfielder only you should improve heading and stamina because that's your weakness. You are smart and bring out the best of your qualities, good luck.
Forward if you could dribble go messi an get close and score with speed and dribbling. Mid field totally depends on your IQ finding the gaps for through balls, long balls. Defense or GK iddddk
I play Right Full back, but want to play Defensive Mid and Attacking mid. What I think holds me back is my footwork/dribbling skills. Thanks for making these videos.
Advantages: I am very fast. Nobody could outrun me. I can make through balls. I am a good finisher. I beat players by changing pace and accelerating away with speed not by skill. I have great vision. I know my teammates is and where the space is and also where the opponent is. I can pass with both feet. My weak foot is more accurate than my strong foot at passing. I can defend very well. I have the best ball control skills in my team. Disadvantages: I can’t cross with my right foot( weak foot). I am not confident crossing from the right wing with my weak foot. I can’t dribble more than 1-2 players. What position should I play?
Which position Should i play? Strengths: Fast Shot power Physically Two footed Nice skills ( Around the world, Akka 300, Berba spin) (Hard)Tackles Agressive on the ball 5'8 ft Tall Crossing Weaknesses: Shot Accuracy Passing Heading Vision Dribbeling Finishing I Have played: Striker,Left wing, Left Mid, Left back,Right back and Centre back
Freshman 5’7 Positions: LM RM CAM RB LB Strengths: Pace, crossing, weak foot, good at dribbling into space, fairly good in the air, good vision, Weaknesses: 1v1 dribbling, first touch, composure, weight of passes.
Some help pls.. 5'9.5" 147 pounds 16 years old Strong and powerful Shooting 7/10 Dribbling 2/10 Running/stamina 9/10 Passing 5/10 Defending 8/10 Goalkeeping 7/10 (bad at diving but good at blocks and clearances) Should I play cb sw or gk?
I was a right forward winger in high school my daughter is just starting in her social soccer development as a middle schooler. She is a very heavy runner and does not know her positions yet, this was helpful and I shared it with her coaches. Any advice?
Pros : my pace is quite good, my defending is great, my stamina is decent, im quite attacky, pretty good at passing, good with right foot and decent with left,, Pretty good at long distance free kicks and crosses, good vision and positioning, and pretty decent at dribbling. Im 6¨0 in height if that makes any difference Cons: Shooting accuracy is fine but shot power not good. Penalties: I hate taking penalties, and im not comfortable taking them My pace acceleration could improve a little What position fits for me?

(Messi uses his short stature to be very lithe and quick as a forward for exp.

Thank you so much dude! That's really helped my confidence, I need to prove to my teammates that I'm good enough to handle the ball and keep possession. Should I keep playing Right Wing or should I change up?
IIXercesII I think it depends on what you want to do most. I dont know if you play for a school team or club or what not but try playing both positions with friends or if you play for a school team try playing a role aside from winger in a club. The only real way to know what you enjoy most is by trying it, and I promise you, you'll be best at what you enjoy most because thatll make practicing and games more fun and help you focus.
Megatwilightwarrior
That's one of the best advice I've received in a long time, I play for my school as well as my club, I play right wing in both teams. I've always played as a winger, I am not trusted enough to play CDM or CM due to my physique unfortunately. However, I will try to play in different positions preferably an attacking role. Thank you so much!
No problem
5'7" ish
110 lbs
Pretty skinny
Advantages: Pretty decent dribbling, good at finding space, good at picking out passes, able to accelerate extremely fast

I currently play at right mid, sometimes left mid/attacking mid and sometimes even striker. What do yall suggest? And based on the positions I listed what should I improve
AJ striker if you get better at crossing
@@1476-r9s my finishing is sort of average

I always play centre mid for my team and I'm pretty good at it I have scored 13 goals so far and its my 2 month here so I guess this is my personal record for goals BTW I play in u13

MitchyBoyIsCool I Roblox and more! Yes great it
Nash if you love midfield but ain't like Kante, Iniesta or Modrić(resistant) you can't play there

8/10 Defending
7/10 Stamina
I usually play as a LB or CB
Any suggestions?
ManLikeKnuckle6 IMO I think you can play as a striker as stats I'd quite high you have got Good speed and dribbling decent but your shooting is actually good. If not striker you could an CAM as your passing is a 9 out of ten.
ManLikeKnuckle6 CM/CAM/CDM/LM is good for you
Play as winger becuase you are very fast but don't overwork yourself becuase of your stamina
You sound like a good CAM (central attacking midfielder )
ManLikeKnuckle6 would be good as a dm
Great video this really help my son who is starting a new soccer academy thanks for the positive statements regarding the positions. Awesome advice!
I'm relatively new to the game. What is the best position for me as I learn the game?
As you learn the game don't play in formations, play for fun. If you learn through competition you won't have fun. play on the street
What position should I play
Advantages
-Tall
-I can take free kicks/long shots
-I can use both feet
-I am strong and a good defender
-I am good with penalties
-I take corners
-I can curve and knuckle the ball
-Rabona
-Great short and long passer
Disadvantages
-slow
-not good at skills
-hit the post a lot
I usually play CB,CDM,CM,LB and RB
I would love to play at Left Back, becuase after watching of videos of Azplicueta, Alba, Alaba, etc. , you are involved both in the attack and the defense. Another thing, I figured out is you have to be a buff guy to play the fullback position. I am not looking to play pro, but more at a rec level. The only problem for playing this position is my lack of stamina.
You should check out Roberto Carlos, one of the best left backs ever
I play left back and it really is a great position
I'm number 11.
Well your stamina is what of the most important in that position, along with speed.
Your defelsive ability and crosses, also not simply crossing but also knowing where and to who, are the most important things on that position.
Thank you very much to explain the football positions! (I speak Espanish) I have been playing some positions like as goalkeeper, right back, and right wing, nowadays I'm taking some football coaching curces and I like to teach all I know.
Hi Dylan thanks for this video !! I would request u to make a video on HOW TO DO FANCY SOCCER TRICKS CONFIDENTLY ON THE FIELD.
I know u follow the principle of BEING SIMPLE but As a soccer player every player has a desire to beat players by using fancy tricks like step overs , scissors ,Hocus pocus etc.
Ill be Glad ...... if u do so
THANKYOU
I’m fast , quick , good dribilling, good skills, good short passing , got the best stamina out there , good free kicks , great definition , good ball control .

I’m 14 I can play as a Left Wing or the 10, I can also play Right Wing

hi,
its a great video on position and its responsibilities, i ve been coaching u/10 u/12 and u/14 teams and had the issues with especially the u/10 and u/12 players of whom all wants to be strikers , its difficult answering them and especially when the parents get involved , it becomes worse , with your video its made it so easy for me to explain to players their responsibilities and duties of being in that position. iam taking a lot from this video for my next class . thank you very much
+simon anthony Well if theres alot of strikers you should do 4 2 4 and then try to convince them to move back a little.
can you make video about injuries
yes please!^ and good stretches that prevent pulling muscles in games
+Kucukakyuz TV I pulled my quadriceps yesterday -_-
played striker last season, spent whole off season getting fit and fast and being a better striker, understanding the game and being an accurate/calm goal kicker...gets to this season, playing goalkeeper and centre back whaaaat?didnt see that coming so learning a new skill now and realising i am suited to this position but i get the whole wanting to be striker thing...thanks for the vid
where shoud i play?
Im fast but week
im right footed(very good)

ShadowX12 maybe cdm
ShadowX12 winger
This is one of the best stat vids I've ever seen. Sorry I'm late to watch it.
I am five foot one I play leftback am very fast but some how I don't understand that position I can't defend to good so what position should I tell my coach to move me to that will best fit me
left back? fast? can't defend? Jordi Alba is that you?
Richard Sargeant i dont advise 2 be a defender i think u could be a rm or lm
advantages:
I am great at defending in every situation and i can read the game very well.
I am good at passing both short and long
i have a good vision and i am a team player( in most situations i prefer to pass than dribble)
i am very good at shooting with curve
i dont have a weak foot
Disadvantages:
I am not very fast neither strong
sometimes i get nervous when i have the ball
my ball control and dribbling arent great
i have never played in a team before
I am aiming to play at an amateur team just for fun. I am 17 years old 6'1 feet.
Do you guys think i can make the team? if yes which position do you think suits me the most?
I would like to play as a LW cause i love cutting inside and
shooting
Football is life
I think because of your skills defensive midfielder could be your position.
But if you train your strength you could be better in that position.
my dad was like "you should be a striker" when I am literally worst shooter a person can be. I play goalkeeper and any midfield
Hema Patibanda lmaooo😭 i feel you
It depends on the formation like some formations have central attacking midfielders,while others have the central defensive midfielder.
5'8 average size teen
Speed 9/10

THANKYOU my coach was trying to explain this but I didn't understand and this video made me understand better THANKYOU
HAHAHA i sneezed right before he sneezed!! Weird 😝
This video is very helpful sir
Sir but I'm 15 playing in an academy from 5mknths and I'm not in our team yet😞 I'm Lefty that's why I want to play right wing just like Salah but there is 2Rw already so ?!
Ghazala Farzana work hard, work with your righty let the coach know you want to play as right wing. But you have to work hard improve in evey way than the other winger.
Very good video. For better Visibility to learners, I suggest you repeat this video, yet utilizing Different Colors for Each position (Defenders Red, Defensive Midfielder purple, etc), but again you explain in a very clear manner, thank you very much
Pros : strong, aggressive, very good ground passer, amazing shooter, perfect weak foot, good at stand tackling, good jumper
Cons : Slow, below average dribbler, not good at slide tackling.
This comment is 4 years old but, I think you can play as a slower version of Didrier Drogba. Bully the defenders, body them, and make more runs instead of asking for the ball on your feet for dribbling.
Which position should i be?
-I have a very good shooting foot I shoot the hardest and very precise
- I have a very good vision but my passes doesn’t always go through but I am working on it
-And I am pretty fast but my acceleration is not the best
- And my crosses are pretty good and I am pretty strong
Things I am bad at:
-I am not the best at dribbling
-From when I get the ball it takes some time for me to get control of the ball before I can run
-My stamina is a little bad
I knew it! Americans think there are only two formations in football.
Lmao exactly
I dunno if anyone still would see this, but I'm a young and aspiring player (13 yrs old), and was wondering where I should play. Before this season I played up front (as a forward or sometimes even on the wings) or CAM, but this year, due to some squad injuries and lack of defenders, I played CB/centre-half for my team, as my coach desperately needed someone to fill in that spot. At first, I was thoroughly disappointed, contemplating how I, one of our team's best players (IMO at that time) was playing defense. In my eyes, the goal scorers/even assisters were the ones who got the glory and were the most important/fun positions to play. I always wanted to push up, but my partner CB had the same ideals, and he just did it, not caring about overall team performance but rather individual play. I, therefore, was stuck back, playing deep (my coach was defensive minded and we only played a high line against super aggressive teams that had superior speed on the wings). My coach consoled me about how improtant defense was and I was still disappointed for some time, till I realized that my strengths were positioning, soccer/football IQ and intelligence, determination, grit, etc. Mentally, I was a very strong player who understood tactics. This is why I played deeper than my partner CB who sometimes went all the way up to, per se, where the attacking midfielders were stationed. I then realized how fitting defense was for me, and explored areas. My strengths are as follows: (and in no particular oder or preference)
- long shots
- intelligence
-positioning
-set pieces
-speed
- touch and ball control
-passes
-vision
-long pings/balls
-reading the game
-decision making
- a bit above average at dribbling (I'd put this in an entirely different "mediocre" section if I could
Weaknesses:
- stamina (I have quite a bit, it's just not as good as I'd like it to be
- skill moves (my main weakness, I'm not unpredictable and flashy, not really a showboat.
- a bunch of other tiny technical errors
- bad weak foot
-headers
-weak physique
All in all, I think I'd like to play CDM or holding mid like Sergio Busquets, RWB (I'm right footed BTW), or just midfield. I liked paying CB but I want to play up a bit more, so I like the CDM option the best. I feel as though I can defend with my newfound knowledge of playing CB, can play the long balls, have the vision, and most importantly the intelligence and discipline required to play CDM. My only issues are that people tell me I'm still young, and have a lot of room for improvement and could very easily change positions. Playing RWB as a fullback is also a good option, as I can use my speed more effectively. My crossing is average, and not the best. Also, another issue with playing in the CDM position is my weakness of headers. Oh, I'm good at them, but I couldn't continually do them as my head just starts hurting. This is not the biggest of issues as I can train headers and improve. I do feel as though CDM is the best option for me ow, but what do you guys think? Thanks!
P.S. - If you guys do reccomend CDM or any other position, please back up your opinion with validity and a fair amount of detail eg., don't say: play striker cuz it's fun, etc. I'd also know what areas of the game those postions and/or me as an individual should work on, and if you can, how to work on those areas. Again, thanks!
Naveen Ram In my opinion play as a CDM just like you said watch Sergio Busquets perfect example. My backup is that you are perfect combination of a box-to-box midfielder only you should improve heading and stamina because that's your weakness. You are smart and bring out the best of your qualities, good luck.
who is watching this during covid
only me ok then
Me
Football
Yes :)
I usually play CB but sometimes play CDM. I'm an absolute monster at CM, defending and attacking.
-short
-fast
-notthe best with aim
-can steal the ball easy because I'm 4'8" Lol
What positions would i be good at?
Quit because your 4'8
Forward if you could dribble go messi an get close and score with speed and dribbling. Mid field totally depends on your IQ finding the gaps for through balls, long balls. Defense or GK iddddk
@@rubensantana7063 messi is 5'7 This guy is a dwarf he should quit and play table tennis
@@ianmooresguard1721 im a girl but ok

work on your passing and dribbling. if you wanna play cdm or cam u gotta have good vision as well

I can defend very well.
I have the best ball control skills in my team.
Disadvantages:
I can’t cross with my right foot( weak foot).
I am not confident crossing from the right wing with my weak foot.
I can’t dribble more than 1-2 players.

this video help me so much!! I'm a full back and I didn't liked it that much but much after I learn how to do it and now I like too much my position
I was a right forward winger in high school my daughter is just starting in her social soccer development as a middle schooler. She is a very heavy runner and does not know her positions yet, this was helpful and I shared it with her coaches. Any advice?
Great presentations,👍
I play right back. I am happy with my position,but i think i would do a lot better as a left winger.I need to pursue my coach by keep working
Pros : my pace is quite good, my defending is great, my stamina is decent, im quite attacky, pretty good at passing, good with right foot and decent with left,, Pretty good at long distance free kicks and crosses, good vision and positioning, and pretty decent at dribbling.
Im 6¨0 in height if that makes any difference
Cons: Shooting accuracy is fine but shot power not good.
Penalties: I hate taking penalties, and im not comfortable taking them
My pace acceleration could improve a little
What position fits for me?
I have all the attributes of a winger, but I'm also good defense, I'm lost right now what should I play?
Its more of what you like better. I would rather have fun playing soccer instead of being serious about it. But thats my opinion
I play in the middle I have 3 goals in 4 games I play in the position I like. By the way great video
