I know, the focus of this video was on position changes in professional football. But man, the most important change of all time happened at youth level when was Manuel Neuer went from striker to goalkeeper. Still, obviously, a fantastic video.

How on earth Franz Beckenbauer didn’t make the list? He was the definition of position change from midfield to a completely invented a new role as a sweeper at the back line Diego Armando Maradona from a forward to a playmaker midfielder Bergkamp from striker CF to playmaker Rjikaard from defender to midfielder Hierro from DM to sweeper/CB Van Nistelrooy from defender to CF L. Blanc from playmaker to sweeper defender

- The sweeper already existed; Beckenbauer was just the best at it. - The 10 in argentinian football was always an interchangeable role between free striker and playmaker midfielder, there was no switch for Maradona. - Bergkamp had already played playmaker for most of his time at Ajax, and Ajax players have been for a long time widely known for being able to play multiple positions. - Rijkaard and Hierro played on an age in which a lot of players alternated between CB and DM during their careers. I could mention 5-7 similar players of the top of my head. - Van Nistelrooy's switch occured in youth level, IIRC. The only one who legitimately switched of the ones you mentioned here is Blanc, who did play professionally for Montpellier as a playmaker before being moved back.

He played as an attacking midfielder for the majority of his career. It was only after he got old and was far less mobile that he started sitting in front of the back 4 and by that point he was only averaging like 20 games a season.

@@SonnyK248 wrong, he started playing the deeper role at 31/32, and he was still an everyday player by that stage. And he technically played as an attacking midfielder, true, but it was also a box to box role.

@@rafaelvalera4609 Nah Paul Scholes picked up an injury in the 05-06 season that kept him out for a big chunk of it and kind of made his body wave a white flag and from the next season onward he started playing the sitting role. So he'd have been about 33. In the classic United team with the class of 92 Paul Scholes' job was to score goals. Keane ran the midfield, Becks was the creator, Scholes got forward and scored goals and Giggs was kind of an x factor player. You can see in his output that from about 2007 onward the goals dried up and he started playing far far less games than he used to. This was because his body had failed him so he started playing the sitting role that didn't require a lot of mobility. And by playing less and doing a lot less moving on the pitch he was able to extend his career for another half a decade. But strangely this is the version of him people talk about when they talk about prime Scholes.

Declan Rice from Centre back to CDM. When Rice made his debut, Moyes played him as a defender. It's only when Pellegrini came Rice established himself as a good defensive midfielder. Sergio Ramos from right back to centre back. Yes Sergio Ramos did join Madrid as a young promising defender but he had to play right back since Canavarro was the best centre back in the world and to be fair on Ramos, he was one of the best fullbacks in the world. Mourinho arrived and converted him to one of the best defenders out there and captained Madrid to a 3 peat of Champions League titles. Itumeleng Khune from striker to goal keeper. Despite the fact he played for Kaizer Chiefs(the team I absolutely hate since I support Orlando Pirates), Khune at youth level was a decent striker but when he moved to goal keeper he became one of the best keepers we had in South Africa and one of the best in Africa. Not only he was an excellent shot stopper, he was good on the ball and can distribute like Ederson right now. He was South Africa's best keeper at the time and even saved a David Villa penalty. Javier Mascherano from CDM to Centre back. Mascherano was a top CDM for Liverpool and West Ham amid the controversial transfer to West Ham from Corinthians. Joined Barcelona but he was never going to replace Busquets so the next best thing for him is to play centre back and he thrived there and played there since. Trent Alexander Arnold from central midfield to right back. Trent started off as a midfielder from the academy at Liverpool but because Clyne was ravaged by injuries Trent made the right back position his own and became one of the best right backs in the world. Aaron Wan-Bissaka from winger to right back. Wan-Bissaka started off as a promising winger but Hodgson saw he was excellent in tackling so he converted him to a right back and was on his way to become one of the best in his position when he joined Manchester United. Unfortunately Ole couldn't develop his attacking side of his game and stagnated until he joined West Ham.

Pep Guardiola . From a central defender in Barcelona's B team to the midfield orchestrator of that Dream Team . Pretty underrated as a player . Typically played in the role Andrea Pirlo did in Milan , a deep lying midfielder aka regista . All credit to Johan Cruyff , the father of modern football .
