Manuel neuer he won the golden glove in 2014 but started as a midfielder

[AFootball]

Casemiro started out as a striker but when he did a trial for a club there was to much competition for strikers, so he did it for CDM. He's played there ever since.

[chauci]

What about Mascherano when he switched from Defensive midfield to Center back? It was odd because of his height but he outperformed the taller defenders because of his defensive instincts

[mohammedaminefarid]

Neuer was also an outfield player. Back when he was in the academy, he was coached as both a goalie and an outfield player and was good in them both, but that was only because they couldn't see how he would fare as a goalie since he was still small, when he grew up to become 6ft4, wphe cemented his position as a GK then.

What about Neuer? He won the 2014 World Cup with Germany but he started as an attacker I think. He played in goal in a training session after he was the last one to arrive at training and no goalie was available. I thought Manuel Neuer was the number 10 on the list..not Buffon

Bruno I never new that you played center back

[xenbg]

davies can play almost any position on the pitch 😂

[BhuStan]

I think the conversion from fullback to center back is one of the more easier ones

[CharlesKahihia-xvgb]

Alaba started as a left back now he is a centre back, cuadrado started as a winger now he is a right back, ederson never started as a goalkeeper,

[SaninMaharjan]

Thanks for the background music, I can't hear anything.

[Ekte_Eple]

De Gea was Toppscorer on his team When he was 15 yrs old and he was a striker

[SaneleMnguni-yb]

Gianluigi Buffon is the other goalkeeper I think started as an outfield player🤞🏽

[genesblades]

Van dijk started as a midflieder and did freekicks

[TVD.GAMING]

Did you know....Sergio Roberto the Barcelona left back start as an Center Midfielder

[fakhrianuar]

Fullback to center back is not that rare, because fullback must have decent defending ability. And also fullback in old days are just like center back but their position is on the wing meanwhile fullback nowadays run forward to help the attack

[potatogod]

jordi alba before going to barca he was a left winger

[hezeakadarth]

imagine going from a goalkeeper to a striker

[StanChar]

Casemiro started as a striker but decided at a tryout that there were way more strikers than midfielders so he tryout as a midfielder instead and made the team.

[iambetaboi]

Didier drogba went from center back to center forward

[olubusayoohiare]

Gianluigi buffon started as a centre mid
