@Dylan Ryan yea, I have been watching on Flixzone for months myself :)

Watch Frankie de Jong, busquets, Fabhino, and Kante ( when he plays cdm). That's how I improved the most, just watching these guys play. Especially Frankie, it's like poetry in motion when you watch him.

I used to be a gk before. But after an extreme thumb injury, the doctor restricted me playing as a gk. I was already gifted with excellent tackling and passing ability. But this video taught me the importance of positional discipline

You are a life saver. Thanks for doing this. I recall asking specifically for this video. Thank you. This will help improve my game a lot.

I was a very defensive kind of CDM with intuition to tackle but now I'm faster and get through the lines way easier because I improved my dribbling, possitioning and one touch passes.

i really was unknown to this position but now i can play this position very comfortably and i love this position too. thanks to you.

i play in cdm, and my game is in two hours I hope that I can do everything that he mentioned in this video

When my team is starting a counter attack i find myself struggling to speed up the play. I don't know where i should explode into space or to send a long ball to my teammate. If i do either option one of my teammates tells me to do the other option.

Why listen to your teammates do what you feel is right... maybe your teammates tell you to send a long ball but you know you cant get this ball accurately while a sprint with ball wouldve been better or the opposite do what you feel is right for the situation the more you focus on others the worst you will play

I generally play Striker, but I also have fun playing as CDM. I think I have to get better in my Decision Making and First Touch.

I play defensive mid and I need to work on positioning tempo and tackling. Thanks for the great video!

I feel like CDM is the silent killer in the team like,when the attacker is soo focused on the defender (CB,LB,RB) u come in and BAM..u got the ball make that pass...Goal..honestly CDM is soo fun

Tips for attacking mid pls pls #lovefromNepal

I’m a st but my club folded and I’m thinking of playing in a different position and I wanna okay cm/cdm and I’m strong fast decent passer but my defending isn’t amazing how should I improve?

I recently started playing cdm b4 I played striker or rw and I think I need to work on my stamina, position discipline and defending in general

I play cdm. My team and coach says im all over the place in a good way but then i get tired because im always helping my team in defensive situations. Should I just stay in space and then defend when the ball is in my area or should i continue to give my defensive line support in defensive situations? I hope this makes sense😂

@shruk4

Its a balance act. In general you have to trust your team mates. CDM in defence is I think a lot about blocking the middle pace in front of the box. Pressing opponents back and to the sides. You can do this pretty much by mainly covering space. If you are pressing an opponent at the side there is a risk that a space will be open behind you. Like wise if you press completely alone it doesnt help that much as its easy to pass around one guy. I think based on your coach's advice you should try to think a step ahead. Maybe ask your coach to help you improve your positioning?

thank you so much for the video😔❤️

As a CDM should you find a pass too the forwards or move the ball up yourself? Which one is more of an objective?

It's situational, which comes with the important skill of good desicion making. Your objective is to get the ball forward and start an attack, how you do this depends on what's going on around you

Can clarify us more please on the aspect of CDM when to speed and slow down the game thank 🙏❤️

I play cdm and I think that I am good at all of these things so my goal is to keep improving all of my attributes ;)

Hey , please i want to ask you a question ! i play as a cm , i like to come pick up the ball from the defense and make play my teammates with short paces ( the long ones are not my big quality but that’s not a problem i can improve them and i’ll do it after the finish of this lockdown ) ! I’m a short guy ( 1.63 - 1.65 ) i’m not the best fisically , but i’m not scared of duels with big players , i protect well my ball ! My control of the ball is so good my vista also ! I’m not so so good defensively ( 1 v 1 ) , but i’m agressive in my tackles , i do sliding tackles a lot ( i know when to do them ) , and i’m better on them more than the standing tackles ! I just want to ask you if i can also play as a CDM in addition of my natural position , or the CM post is sufficient for me and if i can use my defensives qualities there like verratti or paredes for exemple ?

You can play as a CDM but you have to improve IQ and try to do Bodyweight exercices for gaining strength that’s my advice

if I had to start off with one of these, which would you recommend

I play as a CDM and I need to work on my control and passing

Body perfilation before receiving the bal and scan before and when you have the bal

I play dm and I am able to run round a pitch for 90 minutes but my awareness is diabolical. I don’t know where everyone on the pitch is which means I take way too long on the ball and way to many touches. My blindside is another way where my awareness is lacking and needs improving although I do have good recovery speed and defending I lose my man way to easily and often. Although I’m getting a lot better at dribbling my awareness of where my opponent is once again let’s me down as I sometimes get tackled out of the blue because I’m focused more on the ball than I am the game.

I was best top 3 best cb in my league and now my coach wants me to play cdm so i gotta learn before the season starts

Do fullbacks please

I’m a center defensive midfielder and I need to work on ball control and tackling without hurting the other player

I need to improve my touch my passing and tackling is good though

I play cdm,a very good roll in the team,just that I've stamina issues.
