Derry Alli Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 When I was taken from my Scott Allan like role (sporting 10) and shockingly turned into a Barry Smith type, I was given number 4. Defensive Mids play number 4. They also play the easiest role in the game and should be viciously abused if they turn in anything less than an 8/10 performance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highland Capital Posted July 19, 2019 Author Share Posted July 19, 2019 The Dutch seem to think of number 3 as a centre-back and the left back as a number 5 for some reason. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salvo Montalbano Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 The Dutch seem to think of number 3 as a centre-back and the left back as a number 5 for some reason.1 was a goalkeeper when numbers first came in, then 2 and 3 were the full backs (the only defenders in the original 2-3-5 formation) then the half backs wore 4, 5 and 6 going from left to right, then the five forwards wore 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 (outside right - modern day right winger - then inside right, centre forward (still no. 9), inside left and then outside left). Depending on which half back stayed up and which two dropped back when 4 at the back became popular gave rise to some centre backs wearing 4 and 5 (tended to be the case in Scotland I think) and 6 being a midfielder or vice versa. Same goes for the second striker (where Ian Wright wore no. 8 and the Arsenal no. 10 would play in midfield). In the Netherlands, where the game developed after numbered shirts they traditionally line up 2-3-4-5 across the back with the left back wearing no. 5 (which caused a problem at OldCo Rangers when they signed Colin Hendry while Artur Newman already had the no. 5 shirt) and then often 6-7-8-9 across the midfield (Cruyff often wore 9 for Ajax playing as a midfielder who would drift wherever he wanted before famously wearing no. 14 at the World Cup). For me, I think 4 being a deep midfielder is more "modern" when 4 being a centre half is more "traditional". You can tell it's the holidays... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
