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.

[@matthaeus5373]

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

[@PitchPlay_Productions]

Thanks

[@judahclark9448]

Yeah I play CDM too and great addition

[@TheLance1391]

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.

[@elina897]

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

[@christopherchan5245]

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.

[@williammackenzie751]

I am a central defensive midfielder/cm so thank you this helps hopefully this helps enough so my Sunday league team can win

[@grahamemekaiyobosa8899]

Me too

[@awm2956]

Same here😁

[@realrecognizereality145]

I will be playing CDM next week and I'm a right back. This was very simple and easy to understand. Hopefully I do great. Thanks.

[@everydaytrading]

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

[@christophermartinez1101]

[@mezbananwar4064]

[@Campos0109]

Fathoeslove Chris i would say they aren't a close team if they don't make fun of him💀

[@wobertrhittaker6921]

[@wobertrhittaker6921]

AxeFace199 do you not watch football

[@d-family5843]

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.

[@timmynguyen3797]

This channel is underrated

[@miguelparache918]

+Timmy Nguyen That is true

[@footballersworld1670]

Agreed!

[@strangeinferno7503]

indeed

[@igooeypenguin]

Timmy Nguyen it is really good just would be better if they uploaded a bit more

[@kavaughnebrown1723]

Timmy Nguyen I agree similarly to busquets

[@adriannicolau6303]

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

[@enafadljevic4360]

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

[@rokajsnimaj1123]

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

[@guts3416]

Well said

[@papillonvu]

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.

[@omalone1169]

Song is a CM who plays DM. Join our group for better analysis

[@matthaeus5373]

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

[@fuddafirst]

There are positions and there are roles.

[@jasminbesic7956]

fuddafirst depending on the quality’s that you have.

[@agaz2272]

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

[@AlexanderRivera23]

You guys have not only been helping me understand the game so well, but also making this game my religion please make more videos!!

[@kirstin9223]

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

[@Bassoproductions]

My boys love to watch your channel. The videos are giving them ideas for drills in the yard and a better understanding of the game. Really awesome.

[@Avareee.]

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.

[@Akartavor]

Awesome. My daughters coach just changed the teams strategy so she could play CDM and this will help her tremendously. Thanks!

[@zanderkatsaros3882]

i went from cb to rb to cdm and these videos have helped me a lot. good gob and keep it up

[@jojostoenail2162]

Needed this

[@michealprecious7521]

Thanks man really helped alot

[@bigleanister8418]

I think that the main key for any position is confidence, a right amount is perfect were u know u can do something but don’t do too much, I have lacked greatly in confidence since I joint an academy and since leaving still haven’t got my confidence back, some games I just end up trying to fight which for some reason helps my confidence greatly, I used to be perfectly confident and in my opinion was a good player, but I thought I had lost my touch in football until i realised how scared I got when I got passed the ball and don’t know how to get out of that state of mind, it’s really hurt my football and would love to gain my confidence back but don’t know how

[@TheIcekake]

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!

[@rahmataspuqatya7635]

Great sharing info... simple explanation more to understand....

[@Baldovixxx]

This helped me a lot thanks

[@fasirehm]

You forgot to tell us the most important part, where should a CDM position himself whilst defending?

[@goldenelitetv3138]

fasi rehm that will come natural just check ur shoulders to see where ur defenders are it's pretty simple

[@ethanauoin1761]

GoldenEliteTv ye u should have yourself challenging the striker or center mid fielder's

[@matthaeus5373]

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.

[@bentleyuniversity8223]

Shift side to side where the ball moves

[@Sikandros]

Cut off passing lanes, mark dangerous players, never let the opposing player get behind you

[@christopherberry9886]

The most difficult position in the world to play but when mastered you can become a ⚽️ GOD

[@hichammaftah3916]

Spring als een paarde geit op en neer in de goal dan stoer mannetje

Not really though. It's quite simple.

GREAT VID DUDEEE

[@aliayambilla5601]

Thank you very much u help me to no my work as a CDM

[@Cybraxas]

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 :)

[@yunus538]

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.

[@the.21st.century]

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
