Who is number 8 in soccer?

Answer 1

Central midfielders are the center between defense and attacking with major responsibilities on both offense and defense. They position themselves in the center of the field. Offensively, midfielders are responsible for controlling the offense at times. They often dictate the speed and pace of the game. They also bring the ball from the back, and put it in play for their offense.

Central midfielders potentially sprint more than any other player on the field. They need to possess stamina, speed, great passing skills, tact, good dribbling, and excellent footwork. Defensively, central midfielders do a variety of things depending on the defensive formation, including dropping back to help protect the goal. Other times they have to push up and put pressure on the ball-carrier.

Answer 2

It depends on the team.
