@@swaggersouls1917 i dont think you've been watching him play recently. He definitely plays LW

[@swaggersouls1917]

@@hs_3911 I have been watching, Yes he has been playing left wing, however, Sarri prefers him to roam around the pitch in order to create more problems. Hazard played similar in Conte's 5-4-1, when he played on the wing yet roamed around the pitch constantly.

[@lebat9184]

My shooting and receiving are average but I'm good at making unpredictable pass or creating chances for my teammate for easy goal. My strength are passing through tight enemy defense formation for surprise attack and aggressive defense. I'm good at Dribble too.

[@Todesmorgen]

Sounds good, for me as a left wing back I'm rubbish at shooting but I'm great at defense and have an good sprint. Just work on your weaknesses and don't forget your strengths

[@hanoivargas3251]

Would it be a lot to ask if you could make a tutorial about breathing while you’re dribbling and sprinting, so at minute 60’, 70’ you’re not dying and can’t breath anymore please? Just a few tips on that, I think I’m good at it but I wanna be better. Thanks man

[@Footballthrough]

Dave I have an important question: I am a center mid/CDM and I train a lot on my own. I just feel like the drills I am doing dont fit my position/there are better drills for my position. I just dont think I am getting enough out of training on my own, since CM is a position that you need talent for (Game Sence, a good touch and thats it). Thanks for your time and if you already have a video on this pls link me :) if not I think it would be something alot of people might like.

[@oskariluoma7508]

BSTE Football got the same thing with me.

[@SimplySoccer]

Keep experimenting and tweaking with your drills. Fundamentals are always great to work on btw. The best players are amazing at the fundamentals. Things like first touch, ball control and dribbling

[@grayreach7491]

same BSTE Football

[@jsosa8]

SimplySoccer just played a game as a cam, play freely, great dribbling, I got my confidence back and scored 3 goals and got 5 assists just wanted to say thanks for your help especially with confidence just know that I do all the drills and one day will be a professional footballer

[@FireProductionz]

BSTE Football try to think of football as a simple game so like if you see your teammate making a run it logical to try to pass to him then somebody in defence, dont be afraid to take a risk, Also you can train your first touch by doing kick ups. It doesnt only make your first touch better but it also helps with comfort on the ball wich helps with ball control

[@jamesong1091]

I really enjoy your videos! When I play mid, I like pressuring the defense aggressively - some people criticize my style but all my best plays and goals have come from yanking a ball from a nervous defender when they think they're totally clear and catching the goalie off guard.

[@SimplySoccer]

I love that! I'm the same way, I like to high press the defense. I'm always a supporter of Strikers and more advanced players not giving the defense a moment to breathe

[@jamesong1091]

[@armandsilva]

This is going to be my first year of playing on a soccer team. I have been training for the past 6 months and it's payed off😅. I wasn't interested in soccer before last February when we played it in gym class. My family are soccer freaks and my dad was the best player on his high school and collage team in Ecuador back in his day. My family has taught me some skills and so have my friends, but I didn't feel like I was getting enough skills to help me make the team so I decided to go to soccer camp. I learned a lot from it and one play I helped to make was quite impressive in my opinion 😂. I was playing acm in a 9v9 skirmish tournament and the center striker had possession but he had three defenders coming his way. I rushed towards him so I could help him out and he passed it to me, then I got two defenders on me. I juke the one but I am in the position that all I can do from the other is to start running towards the goal. He rushes at me and starts to push me with his body, I knock him over with mine XD (it was legal how I did it though). Then I shot and hit upper ninety. I got 3rd best eighth grade boy out of the whole group and our team then went onto win the tournament.

[@thatooo_]

My strength is dribbling and creativity/ combination. I can also pass the ball and defend up front. I like the center attacking mid because it suits me and I like to be in control of the ball

[@kaizenraiza]

The skills that I'm best at out of these are defending out of the front and creating chances for my team mates. I am good at cutting through a defence with a through ball and have set people on goal like that plenty of times. Defending out of the front has helped me score a goal in a school tournament as it forced the keeper into making a mistake and it was a outside foot shot into the goal that really did show how defending from the front can reward you. Big up to the great videos dave seeing these everyday is awesome! I can't wait to get over my injury and get back on the pitch 🔋⏱

[@SimplySoccer]

Thanks mate! Hope you recover soon!

[@MRMANSI10]

Good video. I'm starting to play attacking midfield, I used to be a striker but I haven't got the speed and legs I had in my 20s. I have vision skill can beat players and can pass decent. I cant handle chasing balls up front anymore its to intense for 90mins

I would just like to say I LOVE your videos and I just subscribed. So basically I made a travel soccer team a month or 2 ago and my first practice went REALLY WELL. My coach said she might put me as CM even though I like to play as ST. So I asked my parents what they thought and they thought I would be good as a CAM and that's how I got to your video! BUT! Doesn't it matter what formation the team plays in?

[@shaqirisquarepants8940]

I am not sure what position to play because at the park I plays everywhere for fun. But the things I really enjoy are winning the ball back. I am 5ft10 and like to try to challenge the ball even if I am not the tallest. But I also like to attack and take shots from distance. My dribbling is not great but I can be very unpredictable with my strange footwork. I am terrible at heading. I have bad stamina too but I can work on that. I am alright in passing but my crossing is terrible. Do you think CAM is the right position for me?

Hi Dave, something I want to improve on is my decision making and tactical aspect of the game. Apart from weekly training and Sunday games, my only time to improve that is when I watch professional footballers who play in my position. Does watching professionals alone improve my decision making? When I'm not playing games or at training is there anything practical I could do to get better tactically? (I'm a fullback).

[@1007jericho]

@SimplySoccer How can I deal with the combination play part?As a left CAM sometimes some of my teammates arent really cooperating.Does combination play really have to do with good team communication or is it our positioning itself?

[@SimplySoccer]

It's hard to get your teammates to do anything if they are being stubborn, so just do everything you can. Make sure you are communicating. It has to do mainly with positioning in my eyes, but communication plays apart.

[@shamanonyoutube]

I am a CAM by heart because I love the freedom and I love that I can combine with players using short - medium range passes quickly and successively but my CDM doesn't pass to me (he runs at the defenders and then loses the ball after 2 dribbles maybe) so my coach thinks that I'm not linking the play from defence to attack well enough. How do I get my two CDM's to work with me? Because I play my best getting the ball at my feet and the little times I got it at my feet (about twice yes it's that bad) my friends saw the difference. Btw we're playing 4-3-3. Please respond. (This is based on my first match in the midfield because coach normally tries me out on the RW but I always beg him to go into the midfield and I can't let the chance slip)

[@aiden802]

I think the job of an attacking midfielder is being able to provide those assists, rule of thumb, best midfielders beat with a pass rather than a dribble eg xavi, fabregas and de bruyne
