So, here we are. The Football Manager 2018 Beta was announced on Friday 27th<\/sup> October and included in the new game are several new player roles. We all love a player role, don\u2019t we? Whether it\u2019s your inside forward, false nine or inverted wing-back, we all have our own little selections that work with our formations. In the Rivalit\u00e0 Tra Fratelli<\/em> challenge, I think I used every single possible role as Inter Milan manager\u2026 even wide target man in one low, desperate ebb that I was far too embarrassed to include in a write-up. I can\u2019t wait to get the Segundo Volante into my team for FM18 but first, let\u2019s find out what it\u2019s all about.<\/p>\n The name \u2018Volante\u2019 for a defensive midfielder is a tribute to Argentine footballer Carlos Martin Volante, who played for Torino, Rennes and Flamengo amongst other clubs in a career spanning from 1928 – 1943. He represented his national side only twice, but performed with distinction and assisted the Brazil international side as a masseuse in the 1938 World Cup. True story.<\/p>\n The term Segundo Volante is probably translated closest to second steering wheel, which is apt as you\u2019ll see below.<\/p>\n The role will be able to select the defensive midfield position either left or right, basically not as a lone central defensive midfielder.<\/p>\nHISTORY BOYS<\/strong><\/h3>\n
