An ill-defined area, but corresponding roughly to the middle third of the field; it is the area in which attacking moves are built up but from which there is no direct threat to the goal. 2, record 1, English, - midfield

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

Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
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
