i just started to play left out side mid for my club and am wondering what i should pratice by myself or with some one else. some ideas or tips would be apreciated and who are some of the best left outside midfielders and what makes them so great. thanks
Practice dribbling passing shooting and ball control all with both feet
Best left mids are Zidane and Ronaldinho - they often play from the left but move to the centre and right
Giggs Robben
C.Ronaldo can also play on the left
Joe Cole
The list of amazing players who play from the left goes on and on
Hope this helps
You should work on your dribbling because often an outside mid will have to stall while his team sets up for the attack or to recieve a cross. You need to be able keep possesion during this time and then set yourself up to get off a cross.
im also starting to play outside left midi and i was wondering about any thoughs or "purposes" i should have in mind. any good tips or advice id love to hear also. oh and im right footed if that means anything.
Most important things as a mid are endurance, passing and long balls. It is a neccesity to have solid techniques in other areas but these are the main areas. Also, always check to the ball. Nothing is worse than a lazy midfielder who sprints with possesion but doesn't help the defense or check to players. Good luck.
