What The role of a midfielder in soccer?

Answer 1

a main role of the left mid in soccer is to attack the defence from the flank whether it be by dribbling at your defender and creating a shot or finding yourself in space and having a cross, another main goal is too add extra defence

Answer 2

This would depend on two things a) the formation the football team play in 4-4-2 the left midfeild should both provide cover for the left back and crosses to the forwards. 5-3-2 the job would be more link play between defence and forward link and getting forward as much as possible. 3-5-2 the left midefeild would be a wing-back, this means playing as a full-back which providing width down the wings. b) The tactics the coach wants to play - It's the job of each player to follow the the instructions of the coach and the midfeild area is where any instructions should be followed to the lettter. You could be asked to play attacking midfeild where you support the front palyers as often as possible (Ryan Giggs) holding Midfield where it's your job to maintaince a presence and get the ball then pass it on (Kewne) and given a free role. Nost time the role would depend on the coach. Hope that helps.
they are pretty much in charge of the whole field because they have to go back and fourth and they can score goals. (but they aren't supposed to go in front of the forwards) and they also have to help on defence too.

Answer 3

In those sports that use a central midfielder (this also applies to the Rugby codes, in the form of the #10) it is a dual attack and defense position. The player there must always be in support of the forwards when going forward, the backs when not and the other midfielders when needed. They are often the playmaker, given their place on the field.

Answer 4

Their main functions are to dispossess (tackle) the opposing team, to retain possession of the ball, and to feed it to the strikers, and perhaps, to score as well. Some midfielders play a more defensive role, while others blur the boundaries between midfielders and forwards. The number of midfielders a team uses during a match may vary, depending on the team's formation and each individual player's role. The group of midfielders in a team is called the midfield.

More complete midfielders require a number of skills on top of fitness: they tackle, dribble, shoot and pass during any match. Most managers field at least one central midfielder with a marked task of breaking up opposition's attacks while the rest are more adept to creating goals or have equal responsibilities between attack and defence. At either side of the pitch a manager can field a right or left midfielder, who are used equally for both attack and defence, or a winger, a more attacking player used primarily for attack.

In essence, a good midfield must possess the ability to be combative whilst also being creative. A good striker without midfield support could lack attacking chances, while a defence likewise could be severely tested. Because they occupy the most influential parts of the pitch, midfielders are perhaps more likely to influence the outcome of a match than other positions, especially if they have vision for a good pass or ability to score.

Midfielders typically expend the most energy during a match because of the distance they cover on a pitch, as at times they can be called back into defence, or required to attack with the strikers.
