When Ligue 1 and Bundesliga ended one after another, the competition of the five major leagues this season also came to the final stage. The authoritative football data media "SCORE90" ranked players in all aspects by taking stock of the performance of players. Among them, the position of the back midfielder is the most controversial. This "role" that has always been known for its toughness has appeared in this year's list, which may reveal the requirements and changes in the current football tactics for the back midfielder position.

Fifth place: De Jong Barcelona

This season, Barcelona won three championships in La Liga, Spanish Cup and King's Cup, and also reached the top four in the Champions League with a slight gap to lose to Inter Milan, which can be called a success. This excellent performance is inseparable from Barcelona's midfield 3-man team. As avant-garde, Pedri has already become the title of World 1, and his net worth has reached 150 million euros, but De Jong, who is in the midfield, is often overlooked.

In fact, after the Champions League semi-finals with Inter Milan, Inter Milan coach Inzagit praised De Jong's performance by name, saying that he had set many traps for him, but he almost perfectly bypassed his careful arrangement and was a midfielder with strong pressure ability. Being so praised by the opponent's coach shows Derong's strength in this position. In fact, for Manchester United coach Ten Hager, his failure in the team may also be related to Manchester United's failure to win this confidant player.

4th place: Kesedo Chelsea

This is a typical traditional 6 position. As a traditional midfielder, Kesedo is almost perfect. He has both the physical strength of iron lungs, with a huge stadium coverage, washing out safety balls under pressure, strong one-on-one frontal interception, and strong stadium confrontation. It is no wonder that Liverpool and Chelsea were willing to compete for him at a sky-high price of more than 100 million euros. In fact, even though Chelsea's performance in the past two years is not good, Kesedo, as an individual, still shows all the elements of traditional top iron waists.

Third place: Heraffenberg Liverpool

did not grab Kessetdo at the beginning, it was originally the tragedy of Liverpool and Klopp. However, it was a blessing for Liverpool to get the Dutch midfielder from Bayern Munich at a relatively low price. Heraffenberg is similar to Kessedo. He is also a relatively traditional midfielder. Liverpool was able to win the championship multiple rounds ahead of schedule this season because he replaced Endo Katsura and completely liberated McAllister and Sobosloy. These three midfielders who are entering the peak will maintain Liverpool's prosperous period for a long time.

Second place: Kimmich Bayern Munich

Many Bayern Munich fans have fallen into polar contradictions in their evaluation of Kimmich. On the one hand, they recognize his threats and scheduling ability in the midfield, and on the other hand, they believe that he does not have the hardness required for a midfielder, and at the same time, they lack the ability to act as a team metronome.

However, it cannot be denied that Kimmich has played an important role under the leadership of Guardiola, Frick, and many famous coaches of Kompany today, which is enough to show how scarce his characteristics are in today's football world. Of course, the editor also reserves his opinion on his ranking second.

No.: Vitinia Barcelona

Once upon a time, Vitinia was nicknamed "Vita" and specifically refers to him who dared to hold the ball while Mbappe, Messi and Neymar were all present, making his own shot or a more favorable pass direction, rather than being a ball-washing midfielder who specializes in passing safety balls. But these criticisms disappeared after Enrique arrived and the three frontcourt superstars left. Vitinia has already become the first organizational midfielder in the world.

Vitinia is almost a portrayal of the changes in football tactics today. Many top teams are not willing to use only one midfielder with excellent defensive skills. For example, this year's Champions League semi-finals, Paris has Vitina, Inter Milan's Cialhanoglu is the front-middle to the back-middle, Barcelona is De Jong, and Arsenal's Rice is the only traditional defensive midfielder, but Arsenal is also the worst performer in the semi-finals. If Bayern, who also lost to Inter Milan in the quarterfinals, has Kimmich, who has performed strongly in the European game this season, is actually using the midfielder who focuses on the organization as a midfielder.

This seems to indicate that although Guardiola, who has developed the football through the passing and control, has failed this season, the passing and control trend is taking root and sprouting in various places, dominating the mainstream tactical system in today's football world in different forms.
