The number 10 position is usually core of team, where most of attacking midfielders and defensive midfielders are located. Of course, there are centers, such as Rooney and Ibrahimovic. How to become best #10 player on court, today I will share some knowledge and suggestions with you, hope you can get something!
1. Before receiving ball, next pass route was prepared in advance.
This is an observation of situation around each time before catching ball. It sounds simple, but there are very few things that can actually be done while playing football, and accumulation at normal times is required to develop subconscious movements.
2. As a rule, attacking midfielder should stand behind attacker and pass ball to him.
Unless there are special circumstances, you don't have to go to backcourt to get ball because that's job of midfielder.
Of course, if defensive midfielder can't catch ball and defender can't pass ball directly to you, then you need to step back to get ball.
3. Learn to control rhythm of game. Usually pace of game is from slow to fast. Let opponent down with slow possession, then speed up pass quickly and find finishing touch.
4. Never "play with fire" in backcourt, handle ball in simplest possible way and use some creative "fancy" passes when attacking in frontcourt. But don't do it too often.
5. As a front midfielder, you should try your best to touch ball with one foot. Too many front midfielders cling to ball too much, causing teammates who have already run out to complain that they didn't get ball in time.
As a midfielder, you must master basic skills of ball control, passing, dribbling and crossing. Large
