What is a Mezzala?

So David silva

I feel all of these terms are kind of useless, because you always depend of the type of player you got.. you can get a mezzala doing stuff completely different from what you're saying

I still see some confusion about this. to make this simpler, in a 3 men midfield (eg 4-3-3), the two mezzali are the two players beside the central midfielder (vertice basso). The cm can be a regista or a standard strong defensive midfielder and according to this, the mezzali will have different characteristics: with jorginho as a cm, you'll want kante as a mezzala with higher intensity, with casemiro as a cm, you'll want a fine regista like kroos as a mezzala. in a 2 men midfield (4-2-3-1) the mezzala simply doesn't exist.

so basically Iniesta in his prime?

Andres iniesta under pep guardiola is mezzala ??

It's just (someone who plays as) a box-to-box midfielder.

Iniesta?

amazing videos by the way . a lot of good detail always

Federico Valverde is a perfect example

I understand the mezzalla as the modern 10... A player who is creative and operates between lines and explode spaces, link midfield with strikers and it's relatively free in attack. But in defense he needs to put his socks on and defend along the midfield line.

Aouar would be a pure CAM 15 years ago, now he needs to play as Mezzalla because the requirements of modern football.

For inter it’s actually brozovic

the best one Benacer in Milan you forgot to mention

Where is Vidal, disappointed in your choice

Finally...

What midfielder are iniesta and david silva?

I feel like this screams Iniesta.

Although it wasn't mentioned, I see a lot of similarities to Pep Guardiola's midfielder roles and the "Creative Mezzala" role. As Pep never uses an actual Trequista, and a pure Regista, he often uses some what of two Creative Mezzale to keep his build up within the half spaces with the wingers and full backs. Duos such as Xavi and Iniesta, or Silva and De Broyne seem to fall in to the description.

In Norway we call this role indreløper. It just means inside runner. The most notable players in this position last season was Hove, Saltnes and Zachariassen, all coming in the top 12 goalscorers itl. Saltnes also came second in assists, behind his then teammate Zinckernagel who is now at Watford

So like Gundogan right now?

It obviously varies but from what I could understand, Mezzalas are semi wingers/half wingers. Which means the traditional wingers I.e the wide midfielders were pushed a little bit on the inside. In simpler words a LM/RM who play LCM/RCM in a 4-3-3. For instance David Silva, Iniesta, KDB used to be traditional wingers in a 4-4-2 or a 4-2-31.

So not a 14" with extra doner meat then?

This is where Marcelo should play

What about Inesta?

Could you think of this as a wide midfielder?

What of De Bruyne and David Silva in Guardiola'sMan City?

Who is this Matias Vetino he is talking about?

Do you follow the Portuguese league?

Mezzala

- Stay Half Space ~ Pass
- Stay Half Space ~ Get In The Box Lately
- Go Wild ~ After IF/IM Leaves
- Cover ~ After Next Mezzala Leaves

I believe Lampard , Seedorf and Goretzka now fit the description.

Hi, guys !

Please, i need some suggestions from Brazilian Mezzalas to study

Ramsey 🤣

Basically Frank lampard in his prime lol..

Valverde

Pogba is a box-to-box player, not exactly a mezzala.

The tactics and roles you can give other players when you have Kante is incredible. He is a manager’s dream

So barella and wijnaldum are mezzale?

Plural is "mezzali"

Prime iniesta at barca was the perfect mezzala

Neeskens in 1974 Nederland team, perfected this role.

Jadon Sancho could be perfect for this role at United

Just so you know, the plural is MEZZALI not MezzalE

it's to late maybe but what is mezzala in FM 23 mobile

Loving to see 18 year old gavi doing this role where such technicality is required

Hey Tifo? I got a humble request.
Recently there has been a coach linked to complete Chelsea move. His name is Marcello Gardiol from Argentina and his coaches River Plate. Kindly do some in game depth tactical analysis and let's how he fits Chelsea as Lampard's successor

This was xhaka for arsenal this season

liverpool

so I've been playing as a mezzala without even knowing

Now do segundo volante

Mezzala: KDB, Odegaard, Bruno
A combination of 8 and 10

David Beckham at real madrid often used as a mezzala, midfield but bring the ball to the right side and make a long cross
