The midfield is broken up into various positions. The midfield consists of central midfielders and outside mifielders or wingers. Yet the midfield can be further broken out into defensive midfielders and attacking midfielders.

The midfielder is responsible for many aspects of the game. Because midfielders play so many parts in the outcome of a game, both offensively and defensively, they will cover alot of ground. The next time you watch a professional soccer game, watch how the midfielders come back to play defense, make a play and then go the other direction to support the attack. This type of play requires high levels of physical conditioning.
