a écrit le 30 janvier 2015 à 11h58 What is the role of a "Deep-Lying playmaker" ? Who are & were the best in the world?
Deep Lying Midfielders are a highly valued breed players in modern football. They fit into most formations and systems seamlessly and provide an extra dimension and edge to attack while occasionally carrying out the dirty work in defense. In Italy, a deep-lying play-maker is often called a "regista", which roughly translates into "Director", bringing out his importance to a team.
Primary Role:
Primarily, their role is to sit in between the defense and attack, starting attacks by spraying passes in all directions. Their responsibility also involves not losing possession of the ball in the center of the park, thereby avoiding counter-attacks by opposition teams. They dictate play from a rather withdrawn position when compared to modern-day number 10s; playing behind your everyday attacking mid-fielder and ahead of the center back. Ball retention and defensive concerns aren't major responsibilities of a deep-lying play-maker; they are merely choices that a handful of them make.
In short, their job is to collect the ball from defense, create space, find the players in good positions/making good runs and to make sure the ball reaches them with pin point accuracy.
