Haha, funny you bring up adult league soccer. And it's true that I prefer to try to emulate great central midfielders, but lame that just because I could run more that I'd be forced to play on the wing. I was on a team with DV7 for years and we won a title on a 2-0 win, both assists I provided in the exact same way: dribble down the side line, beat a defender, cross it from the end line to an oncoming striker. The defender I beat both times was a guy I played club with back in middle school, so that was great.
But our central midfielder on that team was also a former wake player, so no chance for me.
I prefer the defensive midfield because my greatest skill is POSITIONAL DISCIPLINE. I don't get carried away going forward and caught out of position like hungover Brasky.
