To be a good midfielder you are going to have to do a few things. Let’s start with some basic knowledge. The midfielder position is between the offense and the defense. You have to subtly do a little bit of both. The position is mainly about control. Now to the meat of this position and it mostly is just to contain and support. You will have to, one, control the midfield. I mean by control it by running from side to side and up and down to get the ball from the opposing team’s feet, and into your own. Another thing you are going to have to do is settle the ball with your body, and by this, I mean the whole body. Remember you are a team, your job is to settle the ball and get it to the offense to score, the offense is supposed to score the ball. Also, do not get this confused with to try not to score, because this could also mess up your team. Take the shot if you have it, if not don’t try to be the all-star that saves the day because this rarely happens.
