[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That midfielders and wingers are being converted to left backs shows how important the position is and how few players are being groomed for it. Conversions only take place when there aren't enough quality players to fill the position and too many somewhere else. [/quote]

No. They are converted because they do no have the skill needed to play midfield which is different vs the skills needed for defense. A good midfield can play any other field position. This is not true with the other positions. In the US midfield play is not as value because we rely on physicality and athleticism. This allows the team to play ball long and skip the midfield. As te defense get better, the long ball game breaks down. At younger ages this work great because good midfielder need to develop and have players around them who will pass.  This is the system in youth soccer.  Look at the World Cup. The teams with the strongest midfield are the one who advance to the finals.

Now what do college coaches want? They will convert any play to fill a role in their system. [/quote]
