The Great Comeback Of Attacking Midfielders in Football

[@JibRules]

Sorry about NO upload last week, was unwell and working ❤️ I hope you guys enjoyed this video, leave a like and comment if you did and tell me WHOS THE BEST ATTACKING MIDFIELDER IN FOOTBALL RIGHT NOW!? 🥶🤔

[@ronradtke8476]

Enzo Millot, VfB Stuttgart (3rd. Place Bundesliga), 21 years old, 16 goal contributions in 34 matches, statistically has produced the highest number of nutmegs in the BuLi (some of them being beautiful assists) and (like wirtz) with a strong defensive contribution. He is the most offensive Midfielder in a 433 with a free floating role infront of the two cdms. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rX2xiYl-h5ukp5Y

[@marcelocouto4841]

I feel you are considering exclusively the starting position in the teamsheet when disregarding names like Foden, Palmer and Bellingham tho. In most games the majority of their actions is in central areas if the pitch. Also, Ronaldinho for example is a classic n10 despite playing mostly on the left for Barcelona. For me the attacking mid position and its areas of influence will vary depending on the tactical approach and playing style of other players in each team. Anyway, nice video mate!

[@mytry976]

I would say griezmann is kinda modern 10 he was plaing attack but after coming back from barca he is not fully playing attacking and helping the team to build etc.

[@unknowntl44]

I think I would call foden a N10; to be fair, he has not started in the earlier half of the season. But as he grows, hes able to show phenomenal amounts of talent and footballing ability, and to do it in so many games with impressive numbers, it is insane. His natural footballing talent as a player is just incredible too. Even under a strict plan under pep, hes able to thrive in dribbling and his attacking prowess. Pep will definitely provide him more freedom in time to come, imagine what more he can do. I think he definitely deserves to be called a number 10.

[@stefankatsarov5806]

Not all players are under strict rules in a Pep team. Messi in Barca, Muller in Bayern and now KDB in City are all allowed to do what ever they whant.

I am a lfc fan , but if theres a man u player which i respect a lot its gotta be Bruno Fernandes. When has he been inconsistent of fradulent ? Hes the focal point of man u and the team doesnot work without him . I will share some stats and tell me if hes been inconsistent or not . 2019/20 - 12 goals 8 assists 2020/21 - 28 goals 18 assists (best season) 2021/22 - 10 goals 13 assists 2022/23 - 14 goals 13 assists 2023 /24 - 15 goals 11 assists Its not his problem that hes stuck in a bad team . If he was in man city , he wudve been thriving and more rated . Give him a poacher and he wud do the wonders .

[@JibRules]

My problem with him is not that he’s not good it’s just that he doesn’t have a real influence on his team. My opinion will eventually change when Man Utd’s form changes but that’s it. His stats are great but his actions don’t remind me of someone who can be the best player in a modern position in football. All love though, good comment 🙏

Brahim Díaz is another great example of a modern number 10. He has more appearances as one though he can play on both the right and the left well (which shows his versatility) and is one of the best dribblers in the world who recently has had very high output as a sub. If he is patient and waits for Kroos to make way imagine him starting behind Mbappe, Vini Jr, and Rodrygo.

I totally agree with your words about Phillip Courtinho being a blueprint for what was to come with modern 10s More pace and longer runs and the ability to widen the field while maintaining execllent passing, dribbling, and shooting Because Writz and Foden def remind me of that where their ability to bounce to the outside and use pace ... Musiala to an extent as well... But that dude is so gnagly and awakard looking gumbi ass when he runs.. i dont know if he is more speedy or awkward lol.. The modern 10 is kinda a hybrid between attacking mid and winger ... Some under the radar 10s or hybrids over the last decade have been Brandt, Hoffman, Luis Alberto, Felipe Anderson, Kevin Mirallas, Santi Carzorla, Sigurdson, Pjanic, And Pastore just to give a few hidden gems ... For the Future its prob Bellingham and Writz thou ...

[@peter-andreasminani8147]

Nowadays Palmer does play as a #10 and he’s thriving. Might not be hitting the insane numbers he was last season but he’s affecting the game in other ways.

[@androxinic7180]

I think Pelé was the best example of a prime classic number 10 That guy was literally the one who popularized the Jersey number 10 and the role so i think people should atleast give him some respect even though he played mostly through the 60s.

[@heinzii7834]

[@jonasrattle9208]

Buddy has meet the Grahams playing in the background what a legend

[@MrJoe-gp6gi]

I know he's from an older era of football but for me Diego Maradona is a perfect example of a number 10 (Honourable mentions to Zidane and maybe Ronaldinho) not only from is dribbling and flair but also for his playmaking at set piece taking ability which imo is on par with de bruyne

[@jonatanolsen37]

The most popular formation decides what player types are most common. In the 433 wich was the most popular the last maybe 7 years, you use a 6 in the base and two 8s. The 10 has no place. In germany where alot of teams play 4231, you usually use a 6, an 8 and a 10 at the tip. And as you can see, Germany got loads of good 10s.

[@theguyspodcast5782]

Tbh I’ll give pulisic a shout-out he has 15 goals and 9 assists this season. He mostly plays on the wing but he can 100% play as a modern 10 and he’s done it many times this season by the coach. When he plays to the 10 Milan’s attack looks very fluid and quick. He also can defend pretty well he has good defensive stats for an attacker in Italy

[@JibRules]

I need to watch more Pulisic ‼️

[@qlex9542]

I think in Europe’s top leagues it’s difficult to incorporate a classic 10 because the speed,energy, and industriousness of modern midfields but in slower leagues like the MLS and Liga MX classic 10s can still thrive. Nico Lodeiro, Luciano Acosta, Carles Gil and even Almiron when he was in the MLS are good examples. And I’d name some Liga MX examples but I’ve stopped watching in recent years but I can remember an old Cualtemoh Blanco, and Ronaldinho being decent even in their old age.

[@JibRules]

Good take, I agree partially

[@battistoberhoel8839]

There are lots of things to disagree here, but Imma leave that out. The most important thing for a 10 today is adaptibility. In the past, teams were built around tens and protected their free role. Nowadays 10s need at least a second position, because not every manager plays with a 10. So players like Wirtz or Musiala often play as a winger, De Bruyne plays an 8, Fernandes played as a 6 and as a winger. Ødegaard plays as an 8, etc. The decline of the 10 was mostly the decline of the players in that position that couldn't adapt to a new role, like James or Isco.

[@hyperswanton1585]

Lowk I feel like Cole Palmer is already there bc recently he’s been starting at the 10 and Noni as the winger

[@petertaylor1260]

Ødegaard is definitely playing as a ten recently. Arsenal are basically playing 4231 or even a 424 with 2 10s is Ødegaard and Havertz. Off ball they sit in a 442 and either press or mid block. With the ball Rice has more freedom to push forward or wide but will often sit in beside Jorginho/Partey to help in build up. Honestly with the positional variability and flexibility teams like Arsenal and City exhibit i think its pretty hard to define clear positions because their movement is contextual. To me the idea that wou can definitively state "Ødegaard is an 8" is drawn more from how we conceptualise football formations based on Sky Sports graphics and Fifa tactics rather than what the players are actually doing on the pitch.

He’s more of a roaming 8

The number 10 has changed long ago. The ones who couldn't transition and adopt are the one who made it look like it was dead. It only evolved. KDB, Phoden, Odegaard and the other guys are great example ones who evolved. The question is can he German guys play as a CM if needed?
