Nike Academy Tactics: Defensive midfielder in possession

[andywhyteuk]

Such a good video, thanks guys.

[adeo09]

wow @1:00-1:30 is just what i needed to develope my game ;)

[SuperGooner15]

Alex Song is the best defensive midfielder in the world currently.

[elylove12]

@SuperGooner15 emm... im not very sure abut that... he's good indeed, but he commits to many fouls

[lapatria100]

lols. more then my toach told me to do. excellent..

[0inspiration0]

wow that was very good

[daniel25001]

OMFG! an english person who recognizes why spanish teams are so good! its simple, look for space and dominate possession. not smash the ball upfield like 99% of english teams do.

[nawzays23]

alex song does it well with arsenal

[Maraujo04]

Barcelona adapts the third rule A LOT! Especially with Messi, he actually does this one the other side of the pitch; attacking! He brings the defender to him, opens up the space for a teammate and then he proceeds to send a through pass. This is brilliant!

[Cocaine8711]

Paul Scholes, nuff said.

[MrLongz]

Yann M'vila does this well for france too

[youknoww91]

Romeu for Chelsea does this really well.

[colonelsanta]

4312 would rape any team playing 433 if done properly. especially barca with their high line and slow cb's

[HeroeOfPhartia]

@colonelsanta is just me or did you just call gerard pique slow?

[colonelsanta]

@HeroeOfPhartia For a defender he's fast. A pacey striker in a race to the ball would demolish him though. Long balls would kill barca if teams would keep fast strikers up with their defense.

[905hobo]

@colonelsanta he can keep up w/ ronaldo. i think thats fast enough. jesus navas plays on the wing and by the way abidal plays, which is deeper into a more traditional left back position, he can manage the rocket- heeled navas.

[905hobo]

@colonelsanta which means, gerard pique would have no trouble since navas is probably one of the fastest players in spain

[Bhimbim021107]

now we know how good pirlo is.

[jn010jn]

damn i really learned lmao wtf my coach needs to watch this and step up his game

[Mavius47]

Bastian Schweinsteiger guys, best DMF all the time.

[freakincarge]

@Mavius47 he is definantly awesome but i think it was makelele from france!

[loganjr34]

@freakincarge hmm makelele didnt play that kind of defensive midfield job my friend, he was more of a CB that challenge more than anything!

[freakincarge]

@loganjr34 yeah thats true but he controlled tht area of the pitch very well

[TomatoeOnToast]

listening to this makes you realise just how good Lucas Leiva is...

[M3mPHiS]

MAKELELE WITH CHELSEA

[8207THEKING]

With two fast wingers and a skillful, fast, or very tall and strong striker, with the addition of a good attacking midfielder, the 4-2-3-1 is the best...to me of course.

[ShakaBizwaZ]

Thumbs up if you want nike to bring Joga TV back!!!!

[daireoconnor]

I personally think when you play with 2 "screening" aka Defensive midfielders and then a number 10 ahead of them is more efficient.

[corteztaylor94]

I want to join this academy please!

[s0ccer96]

This is a really good tactic because it is more of a team play role. Positioning is very important when keeping the ball.

[KwyKz0r]

You should make a nike academy youtube account! I'd subscribe!

[footNball]

football first-- then friends and family--- then football-- THEN SCHOOL WORK -- then more football

[gerardsuarezftw]

[junioriseffe]

I actually learned something

[Footballm1]

subscribe me plz videos comming soon

[MirHassanProductions]

Chelsea's Romeu, Manchester United's Anderson, Real Madrid's Alonso and Barcelona's Busquets play this position.

[hamody758]

the best is nike

[YourMumDecompose]

I like turtles.

[albersbrian]

More like buscquets, then xavi, xavi playes the the attacking mid along side Iniesta in 433

[GOATSAUCE]

sounds like where xavi plays...but a lil more less rigid

[BulletProofKiD]

[minhmeo1209]

This is really really good. I hope theyll upload the whole game possession tactic for us

[soonastyRomeo1994]

I thought #10 was like a mid number :-\

[DarrenBrown4]

@soonastyRomeo1994 10 is usually a playmaker, 9 the center striker, 7 and 11 wingers, 8 central mid, but I mean there are always exceptions.

[MrNand09]

entendi porra nenhuma

[BryanMassaFootball]

Great video guys, i really liked this. Make another one for strikers and wingers please.

best regards, Bryan Massa

[Halfadomino]

@BryanMassaFootball BRYAN!

[20robo09]

@IsMiseAdhamh, Just going of what Fifa 12s numbers are.

[IsMiseAdhamh]

@20robo09 Ahhh, NO. FIFA 12 cant even get players real shirt no.s right. You're a faggot. Go die. Nobody will miss you

[jaafarkaka]

theyre so smart unlike the dumb coaches that my town has

[Refai241]

@IsMiseAdhamh patrick viera, claude makalele? i think they were who they were thinking, but, ur absolutely right, Franz Beckenbauer, mertesacker just to name a few

[xCammyy]

Im doing this in my sports class (tactics)

[Refai241]

[VonDoomm]

@Refai241 wha??

[SeniorChaChaCha]

I actually learned something. This is better than school.

[dafonzfolz]

@SeniorChaChaCha ikr

[PEGGYINTAIWAN]

hot coach! 

[guzrd]

@IsMiseAdhamh ............ Iniesta, and Xavi...

[IsMiseAdhamh]

@guzrd I dont mean in modern day football where players wear random numbers. Six is traditionally the holding midfield role

[CANjeremyt]

i am the number 4 on my team haha, good video!

[Evilegi007]

awesome vid well done Nike

[DaMexican1000]

I like this :)

[HongyeX]

@dejanajs

Except for the fact that Barcelona is adopting the. 3-4-1-2 formation, ala El Clasico.

Lots of teams play a 4-3-3 with a holding midfielder; who are you to say the academy is copying Barca? -_-

[dejanajs]

@HongyeX everyone now copy Barca?

[ljb265]

@HongyeX well its Nike so yea

[KungFuuAwesomeness]

@HongyeX that is an awesome bombshell dropped

[TheMrELSTINO]

Thanks, verry helpfull

[MrOlbbj5]

Nice!! Learned a lot.

[KorthekFTW]

lame vid

[TGUKxReCoNzx]

"I used to be a great number 4 until I got an arrow to the knee"

[TheGIbzo]

@TGUKxReCoNzx you fucking no life shut the fuck go talk about your gay game somewhere else not on a football video.

[dejanajs]

he's trying to copy FC Barcelona.

[LatinodeColombia]

@dejanajs any team tries to copy barcelona

[joselardi22]

@dejanajs ehmm in a 4-3-3 thats what a DM will generally have to do he is not trying to copy barcelona

[bbvibrabb]

@dejanajs Are you actually serious? If so, you are retard

[FacepunchChris]

out of possesion the number 4 pretty much has to intercept, intercept, tackle, intercept.

[StorkorFifa]

thank you helped me very much!

[KrishanKSharma]

So literally they're just trying to copy Barcelona...cant blame em from trying eh?

[IWakeUpToSweat]

[nbbicon]
