Positions
Goalkeeper (GK): The goalkeeper is the only player allowed to use their hands and arms to play the ball and is responsible for stopping the opposing team from scoring goals. They need to have good reflexes, agility, and excellent shot-stopping abilities.
Defenders: are positioned in the central area of the defense. They are responsible for marking and challenging opposing forwards, intercepting passes, and distributing the ball to start attacks.
Full-back (FB): Full-backs play on the flanks of the defense. They have both defensive and offensive responsibilities, providing support for wingers and helping to defend against opposing wingers and forwards.
Defensive Midfielder (CDM): Defensive midfielders act as a shield in front of the defense. They are responsible for breaking up opposition attacks, winning the ball back, and distributing it to their teammates.
Central Midfielder (CM): Central midfielders control the tempo of the game. They are often involved in passing, playmaking, and transitioning the team from defense to attack.
Striker (ST): The striker's primary role is to score goals. They need good finishing, positioning, and the ability to hold up the ball and involve teammates in the attack.
Center Forward (CF): The center forward is a versatile forward who can play in various attacking roles, often acting as a target man or a playmaker. These positions can vary in terms of their specific roles and responsibilities based on the team's tactics and formation. Soccer is a dynamic sport, and players may need to adapt to different situations and positions during a match. Additionally, some players may have hybrid roles that combine characteristics of multiple positions.
