Grizzly Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 An excerpt from an interview in today's Kicker with Augenthaler on the personnel questions for Leverkusen in the upcoming season. Sounds a bit like he is expecting the transfer to happen. Kicker: Julian De Guzman should be coming from Hannover. Where could he play? Augenthaler: I see him as a typical sixer (not sure what he means by this, maybe as a sub/injury cover), as an alternative to Ramelow who often has to fight injuries. DeGuzman is a good lad, he wants to play for us and I think he will fit in. kicker: Julian De Guzman soll aus Hannover kommen. Wo kann er spielen? Augenthaler: Ich sehe ihn als typischen Sechser, als Alternative zu Ramelow, der ja auch mit Verletzungen zu kämpfen hat. De Guzman ist ein guter Junge, er will zu uns und ich glaube, er passt.

Canuck Oranje Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 I would suspect he is referring to the traditional numbering to position.. where 1 is the goalkeeper and 9 and 10 being the two strikers... 6 - I think would be the central defensive midfielder but I could be wrong.

bettermirror Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 isn't it common everywhere to play with central midfielders? i know every team i ever played on had 2 central midfielders. anyway, this is great news. two canucks in champions league next year? if they perform could really help out the others across europe.

Guest Jeffery S. Posted June 4, 2004 Share Posted June 4, 2004 Central playmaking mid in front of the defence, at least as understood here, is a 4. 6 is usually given to what the Spanish call a volante, a left or right side attacking mid. But I wonder if the numbering is different in each nation. A nine is a centre striker, a 10 plays behind him. 11 is usually reserved for a classic winger, either side. Maybe in Germany it is different, but I would say de Guzman would fit in with this description of a 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canuck Oranje Posted June 4, 2004 Share Posted June 4, 2004 There may be variations. I think though like basketball (1- point guard ... 5 - center)the numbers refer to player positions but each team can choose to employ them differently. The numbers generally start from the goal and move forward. And the 9 is normally the Central striker (Target Man) with the 10 playing in a more withdrawn role. Of course, with all the different formations these days, it is no longer so simple. quote:Originally posted by Jeffrey S.
