In a 3-2-2-3 system, center midfielders play a pivotal role. They organize the team's transitions, linking defense with attack. Offensively, they create passing lanes, provide support to forwards, and contribute to build-up play. Defensively, they help shield the backline, mark opposition midfielders, and support defensive actions when needed. Their positioning and movement are crucial for maintaining team shape and controlling the midfield.
