I think I need to work on confidence and being aware of what is going on around me in the midfield

[David-ggkv]

Tip for everyone: I find that having a high work rate is one of the things that will most improve your game, on offense you will find yourself up a lot more and involved constantly finding space, and on defense you can win the ball back way more.

[corinasimone]

In 16 years of playing I never played CM till today I found my self moving to the front a lot as thats my position usually CM was fun but u gotta be super fit and quick to the ball

[izz]

For sure my mental game and confidence. I’m going to work on not responding to the negativity my mind gives me and instead show myself that I can overcome the negative energy and negative thoughts by being confident and meditating.

[bazookapancakes]

Analyze Messi and how he plays btw I love your vids keep up the good work man

[Ali-evnd]

Thanks Dave for all what you present in this channel. I’ve really learned a lot from you 🌹🙏🏻

[fardz]

I will work on all of them because i am weak in that position and thenk you David you are a good coach. I wish you more performant in they ways you fallow!

[justanotherfellaliving]

Great stuff Dave, really appreciate it mate. Very helpful as a reminder on how I can improve my game.

[danielkozina]

As a midfielder you need to be looking to keeping it simple whilst having a good understanding of speed of play and have good vision and awareness, you want to make sure you have great fitness with a solid work rate in order to recover balls and create chances going forward but also want to have position discipline so to not go to attacking or two defensive because then that'll leave gaps for the opposition to exploit.

[Into_cars_edit]

[alirezasotoudeh]

Speed of play, confidence, being creative

[tommyet]

Good Point:


Never, ever, stand there admiring your pass.

[essidrovital]

I dont have much experience playing in the midfield mainly because of the pandemic. I want to play CM/CDM. I need to practice thinking quick and making the right decision. Right now I’m practicing ball control and training my weak foot.

[talemwa]

Hey can you please make videos analysing players playing the game and saying why they do what they do. Not just explaining the different components of the position. I love your vids btw

[aczfootball]
