 You know that each soccer position has its own specific number assigned to it? I've played soccer my whole life and honestly, I didn't even know that for the longest time. But in this video, I'm going to show you each position and the specific number assigned. If you don't know about me, I used to be a huge underachiever, but through obsessive self-improvement, I found my success. Earned a college scholarship, played for my national football team, a YouTube channel with over 100 million views, I've helped players worldwide, and I'd love to help you improve faster and achieve more. Numbers assigned to each specific position, and the reason you would want to know that is maybe you're watching football on TV and they're referring to different players, different positions as numbers and not just mentioning the position. Maybe you're watching an analyst speak about football, so it's going to help you understand that as well. Also, maybe your coach is giving tactical advice. He's talking about soccer tactics, football tactics, and he's not referring to the positions, he's just referring to the numbers. So I'm going to give you a few different formations, but the numbers of the positions are the same. The formation may shift a bit, but the positions stay the same. So it would go like this. The goalkeeper is number one. Right fullback, number two. Left fullback, number three. Left center back, number four. Right center back, number five. And for these formations, I'm just going to keep a back four, but we'll do a couple of different ones. One, two, three, four, five. Going into the midfield, six, eight, 10. The attacking midfielder is a 10. Defensive midfielder is a six. The eight may go forward and join the 10. He may stay here with the six, but specifically attacking midfielder is a 10. Defensive midfielder is a six. The wingers, seven, 11. Hey, what's up? I hope you're finding this content helpful.

So let's just do a slight variation. We're playing in a four, two, three, one right now. If we went four, three, three, it stays the same. Okay, one, two, three, four, five, six, eight, 10, seven, 11, nine. Sometimes the eight may go and join the 10 and you might play with one defensive midfielder. He would be the six.

It would be the six. This would be a 10 and an eight in here. And seven, 11, nine. You could play a four, one, four, one with one defensive midfielder. And it would be the same. A six, an eight and a 10 in here. Seven, 11, and the nine up top. Let's look at a traditional four, four, two. So the same from the back. One, two, three, four, five. Up top is the nine and the 11 would join him. Nine and 11 traditionally have been the two strikers. Because in the 90s, 80s, it was a lot of four, four, two. Nine and 11 were usually up top. This would be a six and a 10 in here. Seven, eight, nine, 11. So that's basically the different positions assigned to different numbers. So as I said, it's going to help you if anyone ever mentions maybe you're watching professional football on TV and the analyst or the commentator keeps mentioning the number six. So he's such a good number six or the attacking number 10. He's so good on the ball. He's so creative. The big number nine up top. This is going to give you a better idea of those positions. So you're not confused if you ever hear those terms. And also, like I said, if I'm playing football, there's 11 players on the pitch. So that's why there's only 11 numbers here. Now, obviously you can wear whatever number you want. And nowadays players are getting higher and higher with their numbers, more ridiculous numbers. And it's all good. Wear whatever number you want. But if you play right fullback, maybe you want to select that number two. If you play left fullback, three. Center backs, four and five. Midfielder, especially that defensive midfielder, six. The attacking midfielder, you're the number 10. The wingers are seven and 11 usually, if you're playing with two wingers. Or if you're in that 4-4-2, it would be that seven and that eight. But up top, if you want to be the big goal scorer, wear the number nine. 11 is a cool number as well. And at the end of the day, you can wear whatever number you want.
