In their simplest form a midfielder is the link between the defenders and strikers on a team. They mainly play in the centre of the field and they may be an attacking midfielder who pushes up to send in crosses and score goals, or a defensive one who comes back to help out the defence. In the purest form of the game they would receive the ball from the defence and push up to get a cross in or assist their stikers. They also try and win the ball in the centre of the park to stem attacks.
