Great video just one thing I would like to add. As a CDM you have to take runs like no other player on the pitch. When the team is going forward you also go forward to support the passing play. When the team lose the ball, you're probably the first player that needs to run back to protect the defence. A high level of stamina is required for the CDM position. If you get tired easily by making runs, this is not the position for you. It's probably one of the most important positions on the pitch linking both defence and attack together. Sort of like leading an orchestra without taking the headlines. We let the forwards get the fame and glory, we're just in it for the love of the game. Sincerely, a CDM.
Nathan D. I think it depends a lot on what role you play as a CDM. You’re describing a modern CDM, such as Busquest, which I agree is more common and preferred today. However we see examples of deep-lying playmakers like Pirlo who didn’t do as much defensively and instead used his passing abilities as a priority. Also, a classical CDM is a lot less focused on attack and controlling the midfield though defence, and just sweeps up and stays in front of the defence. As a CDM I play a mix between modern and classical, where I mainly stay in front of the defence but I do go forward but not as much as a modern CDM. I always CDM as the most interesting position on the pitch and one I’ve tried to master over the years
Great too. Im a CDM but Im scared going forward to move instead I passed the ball when I received it like Busquets few movemnts.. but I find it boring I wanna play like Modric or Isco who almost always past 1-2 players in midfield and get too close in the Penalty Box.
I think that depends mostly on the formation for example my team plays a 4-3-3 with a double cdm and every now and then one of us goes up and the other stays back by communicating
You guys are livesavers. I had no clue what the positions were and i didnt want to embarass myself asking my teammates. You guys explained in an easy way to understand. Definitely subscribing
@@ahmedmpimbi9684 it was a good game. I covered ground well and helped my team avoid goal scoring opportunities. The video gave me good confidence. I can remember because it was the only time I played there last year.
Something similar happened to me but I’m a center back. For some reason they let me take a free kick and I ended up scoring a 25 yard screamer. Still lost unfortunately but coach wants me to permanently be cdm. I hope he changes his mind because I was almost vomited from all the running lol
Also, you have to shift along with your team, and stay in the middle so you can intercept the ball. Also, CDMs also have many chances to score because they are always open, because while your team makes a counter attack, everybody is paying attention to the box and not what’s behind them. That way, you can ask for the ball, and they can play back so that you can have a one-touch finish in the back of the net. I’m a CDM, so I know a lot about these kind of things.
Thanks, usually I get very nervous and I used to pass to the defenders as first option. Now I have realized that this option should be the last one. Today I will try to make the right order to pass: 1- Long pass 2-If not pass to the attackers 3- If not to defenders. Thanks
Disagree: this is a “defensive midfielder” position you’re talking about. First passing priority should be to find your creative partners, not to find the goal scoring opportunities on a long pass which would most likely end in losing possession. It’s more important to have the right people do the right things. CDMs should focus on winning and keeping ball possession, and putting the more creative and attack-minded people in the position to do what they’re better at.
papillon it depends what type of CDM it is. Pirlo for example didn’t do that and was used as a deep-lying playmaker, despite his lack of defensive capabilities compared to others. A traditional cdm will do what you say but a more modern cdm will look to build up play and control the game defensively and offensively like Busquest. It all depends on what type of CDM you are
I agree. Also making those passes depends on your skillset and the off the ball movement and style of your teammates. This vid is for certain types of players in certain types of systems
I know this is an old video, and you said something similar to it, but it is very risky to pass through the middle. If the ball is lost it often results in a counter attack by the opponent. So passing more horizontally to the flanks is a more secure way to pass long balls.
Hey guys, I like your videos a lot, but this one has practical mistakes. In a real match, as a CDM (in some languages you call it a 6, I mean players like Toni Kroos, Gündogan, Julian Weigl) you'll always be pressured, meaning that most of the time you'll have to kick the ball back to the defending line and make a fast move to gain space. This at least is how it's practically being played in europe. You won't be given the time to turn around and make a pass on the first ball you get. Not even in the lowest leagues here ;) But like I said, other than that, I like your videos a lot and you helped me very much! Keep up the good work guys :)
You'll always be pressured when you are playing the 6 role. But the key is to make space for yourself. If you can't turn, then go more on the sides to receive the ball.
I understand what you are saying and you are right but they aren't wrong, I mean yes you do pass back more often but the number one choice is going forward, you only go back because you have no safe option forward
fasi rehm I usually like to man mark their biggest threat in midfield (usually a more offensively placed CDM, such as De Bruyne), and just stay in front of the defensive line.
Awesome video mate!Your video about striker movement helped me a lot,now i recive more balls and score more goals.I would like to see some more videos about strikers.Keep up the good work and please try to upload more often.
One thing I have a problem with is a Defensive Mid is not necessarily launching attacks as his primary duties are DEFENSIVE. You're assuming on top of a CDM they're a deep lying playmaker. Pirlo has a killer pass but I wouldn't leave him back like Casmiero or Busquets. A player like Pirlo is partnered with a CDM or a player like Vidal to provide cover for them and give them a short outlet so they aren't forcing the long ball.
Your point is right but a CDM's most important role in a game is to break an attack and protect the ball before it gets to the last line of defense. That's when his team is on the defensive. But how about when his team is on the offensive?? Of course he is supposed to move the ball forward, IF SAFE TO DO SO, and in doing so he is creating an opportunity to go towards goal of his opposing team. And even a goal in the way.
ok its very important,,,,,because i am always aggresive and like to make more overlaping,,,,,and it makes more tired and the mind try to switchoff.....i need your help
Loving these videos! I'm trying to play as a winger myself and I like that you've included wingers a lot in your videos =) Could you do one for pressing with intelligence and defensive technique?
it's a little hard to play on the wings since you aren't good at long passes and strong shots. a center defender would be good but since you are good at dribbling and can do skills than a false 9 would fit you great
This video really teach me what midfielder needs to know in game.....cuz I also a midfielder.....thnk u so much and hope u see another video for mid an field 🙏🙏🤗
What position should i play?Infos :Kinda powerful shotGood positioningGood in defendingGood strength177cm heightGood short pass (still working on long pass)Good staminaGood marking
UfiDudi CMF like Stankovic, Lampard or Gerrard. good strength means you would not get bullied out of possession and keep control of the ball. keep improving your long pass skill, you will need it.
Happens all the time in amateur football. You don't need to mark a player necessarily, you just need to stop the biggest threat within the area of the pitch you are responsible for. This means that you should screen off the ball to feet into the striker and stop any attacking midfielders from playing. Just do the basics right and build from there
Gotta be the hardest position ever , i play as a CAM normally but ive played a lot of games as cdm as well and let me tell you , u need every grit and strength you have
I play CDM my passing is amazing according to teammates and coach Shot great speed average Dribbling average Defense above average Is this the position for me.
It didnt state here.. but i think the most important thing to do as a CDM is to Scan.. you should scan every 2-3 seconds.. of opponents and your teammate.. then make short simple passes.. dont try to overcook it.. let those AMs make the hard passes.. you just keep it simple.. and another thing is, your positioning should be top draw.. you need to position yourself mostly at the center circle, maybe a bit towards your area of the pitch.. and cover your back four well, if any of them is out of position, especially the fullbacks.. So: Scan Keep it simple Positioning Cover back four
SUbbed and liked!!! Overwhelmed by the quality of the content!!! Can you make the videos a bit longer though, making time for more examples and also counter points as to what may happen if you get the pass/movement etc wrong with examples. Love your channel!
CDM is my favorite position, it needs a simple but efficient play. I've never been good attacking, but I like to make filtered passes and one touch passes. I like to run trough the central lines to find better passes with fast changes of direction and I like to defend everywhere. But I'm a shit scoring except for headers
Thanks man, I stopped playing for a while and wanted to come back as a CDM (I was CF/CAM back then), this helped me. You earned a sub.
I am a central defensive midfielder/cm so thank you this helps hopefully this helps enough so my Sunday league team can win
Me too
Same here😁

+Timmy Nguyen That is true
Agreed!
indeed
Timmy Nguyen it is really good just would be better if they uploaded a bit more
Timmy Nguyen I agree similarly to busquets
Thanks, usually I get very nervous and I used to pass to the defenders as first option. Now I have realized that this option should be the last one. Today I will try to make the right order to pass:
1- Long pass
2-If not pass to the attackers

Thanks
its simple, firstly u are trying to pass the ball forward, then in width(to your fullbacks or wingers), and then if nothing, pass the ball back
Michael Carrick is sensational to learn how to play on this position, he always have a solve to pass the ball forward, and he's great defender too
Well said
y'all I've been playing defense and winger my whole life and my high school coach wants me to play the 6, thank you for a very instructive video

You forgot to tell us the most important part, where should a CDM position himself whilst defending?
fasi rehm that will come natural just check ur shoulders to see where ur defenders are it's pretty simple
GoldenEliteTv ye u should have yourself challenging the striker or center mid fielder's
fasi rehm I usually like to man mark their biggest threat in midfield (usually a more offensively placed CDM, such as De Bruyne), and just stay in front of the defensive line.
Shift side to side where the ball moves
Cut off passing lanes, mark dangerous players, never let the opposing player get behind you
Always come back to this vid times after times it’s sooo good.
ALL ATTACK IS THE BEST CHANNEL ON YOU TUBE, SINCE I WATCHED IT, I BECAME AN AWESOME SOCCER PLAYER, I GOT PICKED FOR ALL THE MATCHES AND TOURNAMENTS

I can tackle greatly
I can shoot
I can pass long and close range
I can't cross
I can head the ball
And can't do skills or dribble
Centre midfielder bro, same as me
Shieldz thanks
CM is easy if you can't cross or dribble much . As long as you can control/win the ball & have a good passing skill .
I say CAM
Thank you, man. I hope you will add the CM center. Thanks again
Loving these videos! I'm trying to play as a winger myself and I like that you've included wingers a lot in your videos =) Could you do one for pressing with intelligence and defensive technique?
Thank you very much u help me to no my work as a CDM

-can do skills
-cant powershot
-cant long pass
-good passing accuracy
-very good at defending
Probably Right/Left midfielder.
+cmumba1998 cool i think that would fit for me
I wouldn't say on the wings because if you can't long psss then omhoe you gonna cross?
Jake Roberts ok then what position would you choose for me?
it's a little hard to play on the wings since you aren't good at long passes and strong shots. a center defender would be good but since you are good at dribbling and can do skills than a false 9 would fit you great
Why is this video so good, actually fantastic, keep it up, amazing tips.
really useful man! Thank you so much!
A video on beating multiple defenders at a time would be awesome
It's amazing I've learned a lot from it ❤
Enjoying these heaps
This video really teach me what midfielder needs to know in game.....cuz I also a midfielder.....thnk u so much and hope u see another video for mid an field 🙏🙏🤗
What position should i play?Infos :Kinda powerful shotGood positioningGood in defendingGood strength177cm heightGood short pass (still working on long pass)Good staminaGood marking
UfiDudi
CMF like Stankovic, Lampard or Gerrard.
good strength means you would not get bullied out of possession and keep control of the ball. keep improving your long pass skill, you will need it.
Either a wing back or CDM , not a CM if you don't have good ball control
I need help with marking, I feel that 3 players on my team are telling me 3 different players to mark at the same time ( I just started playing the 6)
Happens all the time in amateur football. You don't need to mark a player necessarily, you just need to stop the biggest threat within the area of the pitch you are responsible for.
This means that you should screen off the ball to feet into the striker and stop any attacking midfielders from playing. Just do the basics right and build from there
Carrick is one of those patterns CDM should be
he works a lot covering channels and zones so the cutting pass can't get through
Gotta be the hardest position ever , i play as a CAM normally but ive played a lot of games as cdm as well and let me tell you , u need every grit and strength you have
good video with great examples for all levels of players
Great video..... a link to protecting the ball and tackles for this role
am really enjoying moving from a center back to a defensive midfielder
that was a good video make a video if the oppent has his back to or keep the ball far from you how can i take it from him and stop him passing
AllAttack you deserve more subscribers
I'm playing as a CDM tomorrow at my match but I play as a winger but I think I will play well because of this video
This is an amazing explanation af a CDM, thank you
This channel is a complete basic coaching manual. All grassroots coaches should show this to the players.
thanks sir for your beautiful class
thanks u helped understand how cdm works
What possision should i play?
Im fast i can pass good and i can tackle well
tafelblad Defensive mid or outside backs such as Right back or Left back
I play CDM my passing is amazing according to teammates and coach
Shot great speed average
Dribbling average
Defense above average
Is this the position for me.

Great video this helped me alot i play center back but sometimes play cdm
It’s a good clip can you put a clip about how to win the ball in the mid and maintain possession of the ball against highly aggressive play
i love allattack
A simple n smart video
It didnt state here.. but i think the most important thing to do as a CDM is to Scan.. you should scan every 2-3 seconds.. of opponents and your teammate.. then make short simple passes.. dont try to overcook it.. let those AMs make the hard passes.. you just keep it simple.. and another thing is, your positioning should be top draw.. you need to position yourself mostly at the center circle, maybe a bit towards your area of the pitch.. and cover your back four well, if any of them is out of position, especially the fullbacks..
So:
Scan
Keep it simple
Positioning
Cover back four
This video helps me alot
Thank God for this channel!
