In soccer, "midfield" does not mean the centre of the field but the part of the field where midfielders of each team play; hence there are two "moving" midfields in a soccer field. 3, record 1, English, - midfield

Cette partie de terrain n'est pas délimitée; elle varie avec les déplacements de l'équipe à l'attaque d'une part et de l'équipe à la défense d'autre part. Il y a donc, au soccer, deux parties de terrain qu'on appelle «milieu du terrain». Ne pas confondre avec le demi qu'on appelle également «milieu de terrain». 2, record 1, French, - milieu%20du%20terrain
