Figure eight (soccer)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In football , the position eight is understood to mean a player in the central midfield who is both strongly defensively and offensively challenged . Like a six to eight of the defense , the back four support. On the other hand, he is also required to be creative in building up the game , as is generally demonstrated by the classic tens, the playmaker . The ideal occupation of the eighth position also radiates the danger of goals.
