Football EXTREME ATTACKING MIDFIELDER a player of the team whose efforts are mainly focused on the attack.

That is, everything that can contribute to the development and completion of attacks. Statistics show that extreme attacking midfielders give a lot of assists, although sometimes they score themselves. This position is most often taken by fast and technical players who have a well-developed accuracy of passes from the bottom and top.
