Playmaker

In association football, a playmaker is a footballer who controls the flow of the team's play, and is often involved in offensive and defensive passing moves which lead to goals, through their vision, technique, ball control, creativity and passing ability. They are sometimes called the "number 10" of the team, as they often wear the number 10 jersey.
