An attacking midfielder is a very important player in a football team. This position is usually located in the middle of the field, just behind the forwards. Their main job is to create scoring chances for their team.
They need to be good at:
- Passing the ball accurately
- Dribbling past opponents
- Shooting from a distance
- Seeing open spaces on the field
Attacking midfielders often link the defense and the attack. They help move the ball forward and set up goals. Luís Augusto played this exciting and creative role during his career.
