Why are there more and more wingers in football transforming into centers?

In the history of football, there are countless examples of winger transformation being transformed into centers. Many players were originally excellent wingers, but eventually became the team's leading scorers.

For example, Henry of Arsenal and Van Persie.

The coach Wenger is good at "turning around the side" and loves to transform wing players. Henry and Van Persie are his masterpieces. Both of them have transformed from wing fast horses into center players, and their progress is very fast. There is also a familiar name in

. If Reyes didn't have so many injuries, Wenger actually wanted to transform into the center line. Unfortunately, he did not realize this wish. Seeing that he was suffering from injuries, he had to let him loan to Real Madrid and gave up the idea of transformation.

In Real Madrid, Ronaldo was also reasonably transformed by the team, transforming from a winger into a shooter. Originally, under Manchester United Ferguson's system, he intended to go to the center line, but it was not perfect at that time and came to Real Madrid without being finalized.

After staying in Real Madrid for a while, he gradually became skilled in the center position, and slowly he developed towards the shooting.

After the successful transformation, Ronaldo was also very powerful and became an epoch-making star. He scored dozens of goals every year. He was a peerless double savvy with Messi. The two of them created a prosperous era together.

Now, French star Mbappe is also following the path of his predecessor, preparing to transform from a winger to a center. In the past two years, his position has become increasingly fixed in the center position, which is completely different from the previous winger's style of playing.

It is no longer appropriate to classify Mbappe as a wing player. He will now be more of a center player.

Why in the history of football, there have been so many players who have transformed from wingers to play centers, and the coaches are willing to let these stars try it. Even if they have poor performance, they will not hesitate to encounter any twists and turns during the transformation?

From the technical characteristics, the winger is really the most suitable candidate for transforming and playing as a center.

First of all, the winger has speed, strong running ability, and good impact. Facing the opponent's encirclement, it is very easy to create space through their dexterity dribbling and skills, break through with the ball, and be able to get the ball, which can enable them to have more tactical changes on the court.

The technical advantages determine their potential to play in the center.

and the body. I wonder if you have observed a detail, that is, Barcelona Yamal's figure is now. It turns out that he is less than 1.8 meters tall. In the past two years, he has grown very fast. Now it is 181cm, exceeding 1.8 meters.

According to this trend, it is not ruled out that Yamal may also transform from a winger to play center like Van Persie and Henry. If he is over 1.85 meters tall, he is also suitable to be a center player in the later stage of his career.

The current winger can play as a center is also related to the increasing physical fitness.

Dembele of Paris also played the pseudo-No. 9 under Enrique's coach. He was at ease in the center position, with a large-scale retreat, getting the ball and passing the ball, making Paris's overall frontcourt very energetic.

can be wide and can score goals, and can also shoot and score goals. Such a player has a great threat.

I don't think there is any coach who doesn't want to be transformed into centers, right? Being able to shoot and pass, comprehensive attributes will help the team more.

This is a very obvious trend in the future of football.

As long as you have the ability and match your height skills, winger players will have the opportunity to become center players. In the future, you can score more goals in the team and give them more tactical weight status.

But when it comes to this, I have to mention one more thing, even if the winger turns to play in the center, it is not a mess. It is not realistic to just see a winger who has good skills and can get him to play in the center.

Like Argentina's Di Maria, he is not suitable to play as a center.

First, his technical characteristics are still tending to dribble support. He is not very eager to shoot, has long-range shooting skills, and has good shooting skills, but he is still willing to pass the ball on the court, so it will be more difficult for him to transform;

Second, everyone knows Di Maria's figure, he is also very thin. In the early days, many fans joked about him, saying that he was a "bamboo pole" and would also joke about his figure.

If he plays as a center forward, he will have a support with a confrontation, a fulcrum on his back, and it will probably be very difficult to score goals.

Di Maria's physical condition is not suitable for playing center. It is OK to play a cameo occasionally, but if you have to play for a long time, you will be useless. Good steel is not used on the edge and will also waste the growth of players.

It also requires specific analysis of specific issues, and it will be more appropriate to adjust it after combining the team's technical and tactical characteristics and the player's style.

With the development of football, I think more and more "width-turning" will occur in the future, and there will be more and more examples of wingers playing centers. It doesn't matter if this phenomenon occurs.

This is also the weather vane for changes in football's technical and tactical skills.
