One Football has voted for a list of 5 best-attacking midfielders in contemporary football.
Football is increasingly developing, so attacking midfielders have changed much more than in the past. They are not only responsible for making decisive passes to penetrate the opponent’s defense. Instead, modern number 10s must participate in more stages.
Bellingham is a prime example. The English player evolved from the position of central midfielder to now become a “conductor” at the Bernabeu.
Perfect is probably the most accurate word to describe Bellingham. The British star has speed, technique, strength, good passing ability, “sniffing” for scoring opportunities or even supporting defense. Bellingham is currently ranked first in the La Liga top scorer race, something few midfielders have done in the history of Spain’s number-one tournament.
Bellingham’s impressive performance helped him be voted by One Football site as the best “conductor” in contemporary football. This midfielder is only 20 years old, so he will continue to develop in the future.
Ranked 2nd in the list of the 5 best attacking midfielders in the world today according to One Football’s vote is Antoine Griezmann. The French star still maintains high form at the age of 33. In terms of titles, Griezmann has also achieved many notable milestones. The most impressive of which is his contribution to the 2018 World Cup championship of the French national team.
Third place belongs to Martin Odegaard. The Norwegian player’s progress in recent times has been no less impressive than that of Bellingham. From a disgraced player at Real Madrid, Odegaard has now become the top attacking midfielder in the Premier League and is a difficult face to replace at Arsenal.
The remaining 2 positions belong to Foden (Man City) as well as Musiala (Bayern Munich). They are the most notable young talents in contemporary football with a solid foothold in big teams.
Surprisingly, De Bruyne is not on this list. The Belgian midfielder was once considered the best “conductor” in the world, but perhaps due to many injuries, De Bruyne was not mentioned by One Football site.
