A goalkeeper needs to reflect a leadership personality. He is the only player in the field that has an degree view of the entire pitch, which is why he has to constantly give instructions to his teammates and other players to position correctly in the field. Technical aspects: If you are not a good player with the ball at your feet, but you have great reflexes and quick reaction, then goalkeeping might be good position for you. I wrote an article with 35 tips to be a better Soccer Defender.
In there you will get a complete idea of what it takes to be a great defender at soccer. Physical aspects: Central defenders have to be physically imposing. Most central defenders are tall, which is extremely useful when defending and attacking in the air game. Central defenders are not only tall but are also very strong. The physical condition of a central defenders is normally very intimidating.
With that said, they are not necessarily fast players, which is the price they have to pay for being strong and big. I would compare the physical aspect of a central defender similar to the one of an american football player. Although, we are seeing central defenders that are big and strong, but also supremely fast like Sergio Ramos and Raphael Varane. Mentality and personality: The personality of a central defender has to be just as the physique: imposing. They have to talk to their defense all the time, and to the midfield.
They must be leaders and show a strong personality. Technical aspects: Central defenders need to have a great defensive technique, this includes perfect slide tackles, great timing, good clearance, among others. Your playing style must be simple, not handling the ball much , and making precise passes. Tactical aspects: If you want to be a central defender, you have to be sure you are tactically great. Center backs are the players that need to have the best tactic sense of all the players on the field for the simple reason that all plays will start with you.
You need to know when and where to distribute the ball to start a new play. There are from all heights, shapes, and sizes. However, something most of them have in common is that they are incredibly fast. I would say that speed plays a huge role in this position, considering that you will be competing against wingers, which are usually the fastest players in the other team.
You are constantly running up and down the field, contributing to the attack, but always remembering that your main purpose is to defend. If you are a player that is very fast and has great stamina and physical conditions this would be a great position for you. Technical aspect: To be a full-back, you must have t echnical aspects from a defender and from an attacker.
You have to be able to defend as well as a central defender and attack as a winger. Something you really need to have is an improved crossing technique. Wing-backs are constantly adding up to the attack and their main function is to provide great crosses to their forwards. It is a very tricky position because you need to be able to attack and have a strong defense at the same time.
You have to know when is the right moment to go forward and when you should stay at defense. In that same article about the most skilled soccer positions, I got to the conclusion that, for me, center midfield was the hardest position to play in soccer.
You must be a complete player with great physical conditions, excellent technique, awesome tactical sense, and improved mental toughness.
Physical aspect: Central or defensive midfielders are constantly running up and down the field, and from side to side. Their position is very physically demanding because they have to cover and defend a wide space. Also, they are responsible to cover the position of defensive players that have moved to the attack. You have to constantly show yourself and ask for the ball, and at the same time take it away from the opponents.
Where the ball is, they have to follow. Basically, central defenders have to be everywhere, both in attack and in defense. It is easily one of the most physically demanding position.
Every pass you do, every ball control, every touch, has to be executed near perfection. If you make a bad touch or a bad pass, your team runs a serious danger of conceding a goal. Central midfielder are recognized for their class and elegance with the ball. Technically, you have to be fast and precise, using the least amount of touches as possible and combining with your teammates.
But you have to also have the defensive technique of a central defender. Easily one of the most technically skilled positions in the field.
Tactical aspect: Tactically speaking, a defensive midfielder needs to be very good too. The game is played to their rhythm, and they are the ones that decide how the game is played. You have to be smart to know what to do with the ball depending on the game situation. You need have a great spacial positioning to know where your teammates and opponents are at every moment.
Physically speaking, creative midfielders are usually one of the fastest players in the field. Sometimes it will be more demanding as coaches might want you to create game in the attack and help in defense at the same time. Other times, coaches will only ask you to stay on offense and wait for a chance to create scoring opportunities with wingers and strikers. Technically, these players are usually the most skillful in the field.
They all present a great ball control, passing technique, and association with teammates. If you are a player that likes having the ball at his feet, creating game, you prefer making great assists over scoring, like making passing combinations with teammates, create danger, and have a great shot from outside the box, this is a great position for you.
Physical aspect: Wingers are fast players. They usually are the fastest player in the team. Their game is based in pure speed and mad skills to dribble in the sideline.
You must have great physical conditions because, being true that your main responsibility is to attack and create danger, you also have to contribute to defense once in a while. Technical aspect: A winger must have exceptional dribbling technique to beat opponents in the sideline. He has to be able to dribble, pass, and receive the ball while running at speed.
Also, just as the full-back, he needs to have a great crossing technique to make great assists for their strikers. The difference between both positions is that wingers usually have the ability to penetrate more towards the box.
Not good. I get by. Just call me David Beckham. It sucks. It's OK. It's a thing of beauty. Yes, fairly often. I make others go offside. Oh yes. Not horrible. I'm very good. I'm the best. Absolutely not. I don't have hands. Absolutely yes! Not great. Yes please. None for me! Twisted ankle. Broken toe. One I faked. No thanks. I prefer not. If everyone else does their job, I will never touch it.
Of course. Chad Johnson. Champ Bailey. Tom Brady. I get the ball every play even if it's only for a little while. I'm as skinny as a twig man! I'm a little bigger but I'm still fast.
Kind of short. Shorter than normal. Extremely coordinated. I sometimes trip over my own feet. I am about average. Well I can catch a ball if that's what you're asking. Below average, but I am working on it! I could lift a car - easily. I just have to carry a ball right? I know the basics. I know everything, I read defensive books for fun. A lot but I am no genius.
Not much, but I am willing to learn. Short and buff. Big and husky. Tall and skinny. My speed and agility. My smarts and ability to think quickly.
