This post is a little different from the rest as i am a player and not a coach.

I play sunday league in centre midfield.

I see myself in a cesc fabregas role i.e looking to take the ball and start to create moves.

However my teamates look to get the ball forward at each opportunity in a wimbledon style of football and therefore the midfield is missed out.

This limits my duties to having to win the ball back myself and create from there. This means that i am hurrying everything as i have less time to think about what i am going to do next and i get closed down quicker if i have just made a tackle to win the ball as opposed to having it passed to me when i have created space.

What can i do as a player to get more involved in the game and start creating for my team.

The only way to solve this issue is to get the team to play from defence. You will never achieve playing the way you want to without atleast your back four (or three) being on the same wave length.

It also depends on how succesful your team are playing that way, because if the most direct route to goal is utilising your forwards pace and paying dividends then getting them to change that could be detremental to the team.

Once the team realise what your offering and you being effective as it then they will have more confidence in playing simple football and giving the ball to your feet for you to build from there.

It also helps if you have a holding midfielder playing alongside you who gives you the freedom to push on in possession.
