Striker (association Football)
In the sport of association football, a forward (attacker or striker) is an outfield position which primarily plays further up the pitch than midfielders and defenders. As with any attacking player, the role of the forward relies heavily on being able to create space for attack.

Attacking positions generally favour direct players who take on the defense of the opponent in order to create scoring chances, where they benefit from a lack of predictability in attacking play. Modern team formations normally include one to three forwards. For example, the common 4–2–3–1 includes one forward. Less conventional formations may include more than three forwards, or sometimes none. Centre-forward The traditional shirt for centre-forwards is number 9. The traditional role is to score the majority of goals on behalf of the team. If t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
