2021 Dynamo Position Groups: Midfielders

The Dynamo midfield was pretty meh during the 2020 season. Besides Memo Rodríguez (5 G / 2 A), no one really contributed in the penalty area. Matias Vera, Darwin Cerén and Boniek García combined for only 1 goal and 2 assists. That’s a goal or an assist every 1,348 minutes, or every 15 games. Midfielders’ only job isn’t to directly contribute to goals, but it is an important part. Midfielders need to be able to defend, press, progress the ball, dribble etc. A majority of teams play with 2 – 4 midfielders at a time and each midfield will have a different tactical role based on their skillset.
