player(s) in a team. A box-to-box midfielder is a player capable of defending at one end but also playing a prominent role in his team’s attacking moves at the other end of the field. Players in this mould generally possess a good engine, stamina, passing ability, strong tackling and finishing prowess.</p><p><b>Examples:</b> The midfielder put in an excellent tackle in his own penalty area before busting a lung to get up the other end of the field and finish off the attacking move by scoring a goal.</p> </div> </div> <div id="coda"> <div id="resources"> <div
