Discussion - Player Positions

Premier League badge.

On the course this week, you have been studying some of the different positions on the football pitch. Leicester City's Riyad Mahrez, for example, usually plays as a winger but can also play as an attacking midfielder.

In this discussion, you are going to share your knowledge about player positions and discuss the importance of each position on the football pitch.

Can you use the correct words to discuss the different positions on the football pitch?

Discuss

What positions are most important on the pitch? Goalkeeper? Striker?

In what position does your favourite player play?

What other football positions do you know? Holding midfielder? False 9? Can you give some examples of footballers who play in these positions?

In your dream team, who would play in what position?

I like using a 1-4-2/3-1 formation, and in my opinion the most important players in this formation are the 2 midfielders who play ahead the back-centers, because they have to know as defendering as attacking. And they have to do fouls and give speed to the ball or pause, depending on your team needs in every moment.

the most important position on the pitch is the Goalkeeper, its the half of a team.

My favourite player in the world is Modric, and he plays in the midfield as a creative-midfielder.

Other position i know is box-to-box midfielder

- For me, the positions most important on the pitch are the defenders because if you don't defend good, it's impossible to win a match
- My favourite player nowadays is Cristiano Ronaldo who he is the best winger!
- I'm learning words with yours, so I don't know more positions.
- There are several players that are falses 9, for example Messi (sometines) or Thomas Muller
- In my dream team could play together Messi,and Ronaldo of stikers!
Correct me, please!

It's a hard part for me. To respond these technical,question, we must be expert in football game.
The most important positions on the pitch are goalkeeper and striker an first, but the team of 11 persons must play together.

My favourite player; rooney plays in midfield and can play in front as well. He normally gets to play what is called the free role.

All the positions are important on the pitch from the goalkeeper to the striker.
If the goalkeeper doesn't keep his post well, he will cost his team. The defenders will also cost their team if they don't break attacks from the opponents. Midfielders will have to send the ball to the strikers and the strikers will have to score goals to help thear team win.
