Attacking Midfielder (AM)

People ask me what a Attacking Midfielder is because I use that title
"Attacking Midfielder from Street Local"..so for those that do not watch "The World's Game", European Football, or Soccer as we call it..I feel this is the role I play in Street Local or anything I do In Life..assit or make moves myself.
Here is the definition of the position.

An attacking midfielder is a central midfielder who is stationed in an advanced midfield position, usually behind the strikers. These players typically serve as the offensive pivot of the team, and are sometimes said to be "playing in the hole", although this term can also be used to describe the positioning of deep-lying centre-forwards. This specialist midfielder's main role is to create goal-scoring opportunities using superior vision and skill. The attacking midfielder is an important position and requires the player to possess superior technical abilities in terms of passing and most importantly the ability to read the opposing defence in order to deliver defence-splitting passes to the strikers.

Attacking midfielders are playmakers, known for their deft touch, ability to shoot from range, and passing prowess. This specialist midfielder's main role is to create goal-scoring opportunities for his own team, and perhaps to score himself. Often, a team is constructed as to allow their attacking midfielder to roam free and create as the situation demands.
