As a center midfielder always! look over your shoulders (shoulder check) whenever you can. You need to be aware of everything around you and Iniesta does it a lot. It really safes a lot of time and since I implemented it to my game I have become much better. :D
With me I’m very good technically. I can do my job very well but when I play a full game 11v11 or 7v7 I never keep the ball and try dribble past players… I always pass rather than trying to take on the defender which im fully capable of doing. I play in the midfield
Good video, one thing tho, if you could keep the score up in the corner, it's easier for us to understand why Iniesta (being the one who controls most games) takes the choices he does when we know the score. Example: He would most likely keep possesion rather than rush when Barca is up 3-0. The key to playing midfield or any upbuilding positions is to know when to attack, and when not to. Haven't seen your more recent vids, so i dunno if you do that now. Thanks :)
Something people don’t talk about is this: look at time 1:59. Why did he give the pass forward rather than directly next to him (the guy without a cover). Because it allows the recibe to give the ball to an empty guy and then run to space. This vision is genius, a decision that simple can open many possibilities.
Train your athletic ablities first.Then go on youtube and watch how busquets postioning is when the opposition has the ball and his timing of the tackle.Then during a match pratice them exactly like busquets then you will keep getting better and better with every match
+SimplySoccer, can you do one of these for Attacking Midfielder? Maybe Ozil and Isco?? I've learned a lot from this one video, but it's not my position. I love to learn from Ozil and Isco as they are incredible. Thanks!! Love your channel mate!

Thanks dave awsome analysis i played center mid at my game and i was the man of the match because of your videos.I scored 3 goals at a competitive league.THANKS!...X.D.... ;D
🙆🏿♂️Well if 2morrow is not promised my man, it means we might also not be here to witness Jesus's arrival, stop forcing people in Christianity, be Christian and leave others to be themselves.
you focus each play about the technical performances but that touches every body can do it here in spain, the importance of his magic plays is because the moves of his high tactical level
Can you show us how to get that space that iniesta is getting cuz when i play in medfeild i only get 1 or 2 seconds to get the ball before they press me
Hello, can you please share how to avoid copyright infringements from UA-cam when using footage like this? I want to start a channel for coaching purposes using footage from the biggest leagues around the world. Thanks in advance.
Great, I want watch more like this video of the midfield. Thank you a lot. PD: I couldn't download your book, I never received the mail. Can you send me the link?

thanks, i need this advice because I'm a center midfielder
Wish I knew this earlier, was bench the whole season 💀 I have really good ball control and ball awareness but not much of game awareness.
Fax and also use the pass and move and there's one thing I learnt from xavi the pause
Been watching Zidane and Seedorf myself! Body positioning and first touch has improved quite a bit
I didn't know Rousseau played! I know you hate Paris so I guess your chances for playing PSG are out the window?
Notice how Iniesta's game have little to no errors. Keeps it simple, no fancy stuff, sharp passes and very precise movements. Legend 8
After watching ur video I was the mvp for my team at center mid, thanks
Awesome mate!
Same
Do more and even longer, Busquets would be great!
04:19 is sublime as ronaldinho vs Panathanaikos
@Karol Czekanski he is one of the greatest ever midfielder
My favorite midfielder player : Iniesta. Such technics and vision.
I wish Sunday league had at least some organization, my team is all over the place
Then try out for an organized team
@@jkdoodle4460 I don't think it's that simple
@@Yusuf-uz2ie u just gotta train everyday

Ah good point! I'll remember that for the next one :)
I didn’t understand why the score would matter at first but that explanation actually makes a lot of sense
Great video dave! Really learned a lot, and keep these kind of videos coming!
And yeah would love to see one with Dybala 🙌🏽

1.2.
Great video as a cm/cdm I’m gonna try implement these tips into my game
do Busquets please
I don't mind watching longer Viedeos from you, it's even bether because I can learn more !
Yes! I love these analysis
Glad to hear!
Lol
I really didn't want this video to end.
I LOVED THIS !!! BEST VIDEO IDEA ON A LONG TIME !! I WOULD LOVE TONSEE ONE ON HAZARD, MAHREZ, ISCO, NEYMAR (wingers)
AND YES I WOULD LOVE MORE OFF THESE AND THEY CAN BE MUCH LONGER !!
Good to know! I won't have to cut stuff out next time 🤔
One of your best videos.
Keep doing analyses your are great at that.
Long is fine.
Hey Dave! There is this question i've been wondering. I'm a CDM, i really don't know how i can train defenviely. Can you help?
Train your athletic ablities first.Then go on youtube and watch how busquets postioning is when the opposition has the ball and his timing of the tackle.Then during a match pratice them exactly like busquets then you will keep getting better and better with every match
Follow busquets
Layton Neves also maybe play a couple games at cb to practice defence
Watch the match between barca and roma and see how roma completely destroyed barca's busquet and iniesta in the midfield.
Train on your stamina, ability to read the game and control the game at the midfield, try some long balls accuracy, jumping power and pace as a boost
+SimplySoccer, can you do one of these for Attacking Midfielder? Maybe Ozil and Isco?? I've learned a lot from this one video, but it's not my position. I love to learn from Ozil and Isco as they are incredible. Thanks!! Love your channel mate!
Thanks for watching! I will be covering many positions with this series. I want to do at least 1 video a week like this!
Agreed.
What I learned from this video is that as a midfielder you need to keep it simple and not force the play(Iniesta did it all game).
Why would anyone dislike this?
Thx for a great video!
Can you do an analysis on a great winger if you have time?
Will definitely be covering a winger at some point!
@@SimplySoccer you never done winger analysis
Iniesta was Man of the match on that match
You’re a very high soccer knowledgeable fan I respect you for that keep it up 👏
Great video dave, its always great to learn from the best both iniesta and you! also could you make a mbappe video or james rodriguez video next?
Not sure who I'll be covering next, but I'm sure we'll be doing both of them at some point
Thank you very much and keep up the great work my friend!
great vid. Trying this with Pirlo would be awesome

Thanks dave awsome analysis i played center mid at my game and i was the man of the match because of your videos.I scored 3 goals at a competitive league.THANKS!...X.D.... ;D
Jesus is coming soon. Repent and trust alone in Christ starting today because tomorrow is not promised
We believe keep on preaching the gospel young man
🙆🏿♂️Well if 2morrow is not promised my man, it means we might also not be here to witness Jesus's arrival, stop forcing people in Christianity, be Christian and leave others to be themselves.
@@aphiwenombula7130h he’s not forcing, he’s only trying to warn us that rapture might come anytime that we must be ready 🙏
Amen🙏
Why in a football video?
Make more this is sickkk!
awesome! Please do that type of video about some winger! thanks
Thanks so much dave our videos just cant get better
Thanks!
you focus each play about the technical performances but that touches every body can do it here in spain, the importance of his magic plays is because the moves of his high tactical level

This will really help me alot thank u so much
No problem!
brilliant video
As a midfielder is it ok for me to dribble slot but not overly dribble maybe take 1 or 2 players when needed or do I always need to 1 2 pass
Can you do one for carvajal? Please
Thanks 🙏🏻 for the great advice
you got it!
Carry on with these videos plz
Cool! I'm a Winger-Striker but its still good to know! Thx :)
I am put in midfield and I hate it because I can’t really go anywhere I have to stay in hat spot and I always get subbed because they think im puffed
Although this is really unheard of, I watch these videos to inform how I play FC 24 Clubs
Can u do xavi plz
He is magician
Dinesh Yadav legend of the game
yes I would like if u make more videos like this
5:40 There is no panic, ball hit bottom of the cleat, he missed.
Nice video thank you
No problem!
Nice video
Unsung hero Ronaldinho best student 👨🎤

Sir, How to become a good midfielder
thx
Are defensive mids and center mids the same?
No
Plays do Isco or Coutinho playing in CM
do i neeeed to master takling skills?
Can you teach us how to stop bals in the air. I can't
3:42 Rakitic stand flat footed and that's not good as a football player
Cut
Ngl none of us are in any position to analyze iniesta lol he’s a level above anyone on youtube😂
Please do more I loved this
Make a video on fitness (speed, stamina, strength, etc)
The no of times Suarez missed a simple one touch pass in dangerous areas :P Unbecoming of himself
You should add some classical guitar music based off the player's culture to really make the video amazing.
Why there’s no need for that
Can you do Dybala
great
Spain loves Iniesta
Haha I bet! Scored the winner in a World Cup
1:36
Rakatic
Alright mate I thought it was Rakitić but ok
Islam Is a Lie Islam is a Lie
Jordi Alba is constantly making the right runs, but Iniesta doesn't find him (9:18 is particularly fault worthy, not a positive play). It's a pattern.
hazard
Could you do more of a defensive style video for a cm like defensive movements marking runs stuff like that
Please do prilo
Anyone knows how to draw or create lines on live videos?
