@Jhay__01 A false 9 is a player that plays practically as a nine but operates in positions other than the 9s like to drag the cb away from positions. A second striker is a player who suports the original striker and also supports the play from midfield when building up e.g rooney/Fabregas
A scout once told me: ‘'I can find 100 kids who can dribble. I need the one who listens."
Their real checklist is mental.
1. Coachability (no ego)
2. Consistency (not 1 great game in 10)
3. Resilience (how you react to mistakes)
Physical abilities and skills is the last box.
I’ve played with so many great midfielders so far, but one was definitely different from any other.
His strength, his power, his ability and technique despite being so tall, his pace, his work ethic, his box-to-box ability, and his all-around game.
