Wonderkids: Central Midfielders
Today we're talking about the middle of the pitch. A good central midfielder needs these qualities:
- Quick to win the ball back or push forward
- Smart at occupying space
- Excellent anticipation
- Ruthless in the tackle
- Strong in duels with opponents
- Technically gifted
- Quick to read the game
- Remarkable passing quality
- Good long range shooting
