Although there is a clear division of positions on the football field, the striker is responsible for attacking and the defender is responsible for defending, but the players in the defender position are relatively flexible, attacking when they advance and defending when they retreat, so the defender is also a very important role in the team. There are many excellent midfielders in history. Today we will take stock of the top five midfielders in world football.

Fifth place: Davis

The famous "ugly man" in football history, Davis, whose height is less than 1.7 meters, has a face that normal people would be afraid of, and his playing style is as rough as his appearance. As a midfielder, he can always run tirelessly on the field, with a very large defensive area and fierce defensive actions, so he won the title of "wild boar". In addition to his outstanding defensive ability, Davis also has very good long-range shots.

Fourth place: Gattuso

As the main player who won the championship in Italy in 2006, Gattuso was the soul of the defense at that time. Gattuso contributed a lot to Italy's impeccable defense. Like Davis, Gattuso has inexhaustible physical strength, and through fierce interception, it becomes a nightmare for the opposing attackers.

Third place: Hasin

All African players have a characteristic, that is, full of physical strength, and Hassan is such a representative. In addition, Hassan's personal defensive ability is also outstanding. His battle for deity should be in the decisive battle between Chelsea and Barcelona, when one man destroyed Xavi, Iniesta and Butske's midfield attack for 60 minutes.

Second place: Vieira

Compared with the top three defensive midfielders, Vieira is famous for attacking. He can often pass the ball like a genius and has a strong ability to read the game. Of course, this does not mean that his defensive ability is not good. On the contrary, Vieira is always willing to spend more energy on defense.

First place: yaya toure.

Africa always produces excellent midfielders. Yaya toure not only achieved very good results in club competitions, but also led C? te d 'Ivoire to win the African Cup of Nations at the peak of 20 15. At that time, yaya toure was an all-around fighter on the court. From defense to attack, he is almost everywhere.
