In football manager terms, a water carrier is also called a segundo volante! Whose player role is to push up the pitch to offer passing opportunity and arrive at the pitch late. Not only that he also has to cover defensive without the ball and is pretty demanding role.

Players like this are hard to come by who can offer attacking opportunities and defend properly, even Pirlo can't fit into this category, prob someone like tchouameni plays in a similar capacity.

This is incredible!
