CDM is actually the most difficult position. That’s why top teams have top CDMs

This video was amazing. We need more of this. CDM is such an overlooked area and under appreciated role

CDM is the hardest positions to play especially single pivot, you need vast experience to play there in top flight football that’s why you rarely see young lads from club academies break into the team as a CDM. Academy Strikers and wingers because if they mess up there is no too little consequence.

CDM is where the real ballers play IMO. The 6 is the life blood, the engine, the heartbeat of the midfield. If your CDM isn’t clicking, your midfield isn’t connecting between the phases of play. Wish I could convince the kids this is the best position, not being some winger.

1. Follow the opponents press, then: a. Become a passing option. Turn forward and pass forward. b. Make space and be the third man. ( attract opposition toward your possession of the ball to make space for teammates.) c. When the opposing midfield jumps and runs deep forward find the space behind the enemy mf and capitalize. d. Overload in a wide area, create numerical advantages for your team, make as much 2v1 scenarios as possible.

This position is hard especially when you are in charge of having to close any gaps created in the midfield they are dead springs back to back , also handling pressure is very tough for many cdms , one mistake and boom you get a counter attack easily 👍 you have to be very smooth when turning and handling pressure

One of best strategy and instructional video I've seen, instant subscribe, more like this

Yeah easiest on video when you are creating plays and watching the pros do it rather than actually doing it yourself. CDM is absolutely one of the hardest positions out there that if you mess up you’ll most likely end up costing your team

와 최고다 진짜.....수많은 미드필더 강의 영상 봤지만 이게 최고네

As usual, quality content is also very detailed while also keeping in mind the bigger picture as to how what your explaining relates to the broader tactics 🎉🎉

I am SO grateful for this video. I am going to check all of your content because i'm sure the rest is just as amazing. This is so incredibly well explained and demonstrated. Thank you !

항상 잘 보고 있어요! 양질의 컨텐츠 감사해요:)

Choose your Defensive Midfielder type: 1) Anchor/Holding Midfielder 2) Deep Lying Playmaker 3) Destroyer/Ball Winner 4) Box-To-Box Anchor + Deep Lying Playmaker in double pivot formation are best thing if i want keep the ball. But if i want gegenpress and high press like crazy, i will choose Destroyer and Box-To-Box

필드 훈련뿐만 아니라 이렇게 분석영상도 필요하고 배워야 했는데 좋은 영상 너무 감사합니다. 미드필더 관련해서 더 많이 올려주세요

fantastic video, i would like too add number 5. which is when the left back pushes high up and the midfielder drops near the left backs position although this usually happens when teams dont do a full on press but sort of a semi press, kroos is a master at this. cheers

these videos are so well made, keep it up!

그간 유튭에서 봤던 미드필더 관련 영상중에서 이게 탑 오브 탑 입니다. 최고👍🏻

First time where I already do what is shown. Feel proud of myself

Merci beaucoup adjarama❤

GEM of a video

Loved it!

요즘 최애 축구 채널입니다 👍🏻

Brilliant video

Quality content….!! Subscribed❤

Great example showcases from many tiers and leagues, showing the basic principle of CDM in possession. I get the mentality of "Hey let's gang up against these pressers" and "it's me, I make creative moves and available!".

유익한 영상 항상 감사드립니다!!😊

Great content

¡INCREÍBLE VIDEO! ¡BRAVO!

Your video is very useful and clear! Will you produce videos about skill and positioning of central defender and full back? Looks rare in the internet when compare with video for offensive players

Nice content! I love it

Amazing content. I subscribed right away. Also the music is topo :D

great video and editting. i would only argue that cdm is one of the most difficult positions to play because of the defensive role, being able to rotate, and constant awareness of the game. vision, reading the game and using ur brain + amount of ground covered would be what separates the good and the great cdms. all aspects which is harder to acquire than something like being able to run fast like a winger. playing great defense is almost always much harder than playing great offense as the man with the ball has the advantage.

Brilliantly explained. I hope i could apply this knowledge on the pitch one day. Great work u earned urself a follower. Btw im a CDM😄

Amazing content 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

This video is top notch 👌⚽

Its a true gem, I will try to use some of them tmrw)

this is gold

I’m a semi-pro footballer in The Netherlands and I really appreciate this video. Have you had experience in a big club? Because thats where you belong.

Amazing video thank you

This is quality content.

such a good video

Sick video brother ❤ it would be nice if you made a cdm defensive positioning vid if possible? Keep it up

드디어 수미도 나왔군요 ㅠㅠ 감사합니다

Amazing video ❤

perfect video again

Really what a video 🫡💗

U r number one i hope that you will make a video about basic movement for pivot

It's actually hard to play CDM. That's why theres only been 5 great CDMs in the last 25 years. Casemiro, Kante, Makelele, Gattuso, Busquets

Amazing video!! Just keep up the work. Also can you do similar video like this for fullback or other positions?

Go try and Tell busquest that he played the easiest position 💀

늘 영상 잘 보고 있습니다. 혹시 수비형의 수비위치와 방법에 대한 영상도 부탁드립니다!

i love you gedfootball

Great video

아 그냥 바로 구독박음..

Another good video, but I think it's important to clarify that this is one small aspect of playing the position--what to do in possession against one type of press. The out-of-possession phase is more difficult for CDM.

Yeah its kind of easy cause you have to be more good off the ball than on the ball (you just have to be there in between the press all the time even if you don't get passed), simple turning and long range passing to switch and stretch play is all you need, scanning is also what you need and is more important for CDMs than any other position to avoid losing the ball

Amazing 😊

I wish I knew about this when I was young

Maravilha de vídeo! Muito interessante e educativo, aprendi coisas que eu não sabia.

이번에도 좋은 영상 감사드립니다!

번역고마워요 너무 좋아요

This is good

이 채널은 아주 귀중한 채널

Sos un capo amigo

CDM can be the most useless position in football if you’re not impactful on your role and skills, on the other hand if you have what it takes, it is the most important position in football.

와 진짜 퀄리티 미쳤다..

This is why Luis Enrique put Vitinha as the 6

Fantastic content!!! But one question: Most teams in this video are pressing in a 4-4-2 formation, is it the same if the opponent plays for instance 4-3-3 with following the press?

my favorite Position on pitch

The best CDMs are the one that makes it look like it’s too easy

재밌고 유익해

I want to know how to defend as CDM! please make contents! I'm your big fan

i love you bro

Good analysis. Animations are decent too. Easiest position comment is way wide of the mark though.

영상이 참 보기 편하고 좋습니다

please can you do this kind of analysis but in defense? thank you

Playing as a CDM is the hardest job on the football field. And the worst part is that no one is able to understand and notice this work. Your running capacity needs to be huge as you must perform box-to-box. You need to have proper passing skills. You need to have mild dribbling skills and be able to perform well under pressure. The off-ball volume of your work is huge because the range of your defensive duties starts with pressing on the other side and ends with tackling and marking players on your side. To all this, you better have a good shot to be an option for a second tempo attack. And you need to have advanced heading skills to fight for the high balls in the midfield. The volume of your work has no limits wherein the cost of error is extremely high because you have both defensive duels and ball possessions. And every mistake you make gives your opponent either space for an attack or a chance to shoot. So you have high usage, lots of duties, high covered distance, visible errors, and little recognition for success. History knows a lot of great CDMs but not many of them got proper recognition. We (thank God) praise Kante, Xabi Alonso, Busquets (he wasn't a pure CDM but nonetheless), but we've already forgotten De Rossi, Makelele, Rijkaard, Matthäus, even Pirlo, Davids, and Roy Keane. It's extremely hard to get recognition as a CDM because your actions should prevent defensive disasters and start attacking miracles. You stay as far from magic saves as you are from scoring touches. But that difference between "the game is very slack and gutless" and "the team plays very collectively and firm" is all created by CDM's unnoticed hard diligence and endless stamina. Coaches pray for a good CDM as in modern football your play is very dependent on him. Check how Man City performs with Rodri and without him this year. Remember how clubs fought over Rice. Note how Camavinga and Tchouameni impact the game. Makelele and Kante demonstrated a historically high level in their prime, but have we seen the same level of media attention from journalists and award committees that prominent attacking players or defenders could expect? Unfortunately, no. In the end, the workload of a CDM is so large that the window of opportunity for playing at a high level (in terms of age) is much smaller than, for example, for central defenders or CAMs. CDMs with long careers and extended primes can be counted on one hand (and none of them played as a pure CDM their entire career). So once again: CDM is the hardest, smartest, most thankless, and poorly paid job on the football field. Remember names like Viera, Dunga, Deschamps (as player), Cambiasso, Simeone (as player), Silva, Carrick, Fernandinho, Khedira and other mentioned. And appreciate Casemiro, Palhinha, Xhaka, Paredes, Kimmich, Guimaraes, Bissouma,Bissouma, Zubimendi and others (and all mentioned). Sorry for that rant, I just couldn't hold back. Peace!

Midfield turn

감사합니다

7:20 That touch 😮

Hey, i love your videos. Which programs are you using to edit the game film? And also which taktik board are you using?

its hard when your other teammate makes you job even harder. They don't even pass to you when you are at the perfect positioning. The weight of the pass and location where they pass to you. They don't provide option for me to pass when i get the ball.

💯💯

Fundamentals are easy, but against smart pressing/gegenpress you can only pass backwards cause no time to turn
