Forward is a player in an association football team that is closest to the opposing team's goal, and therefore most responsible for scoring goals.
Their forward position and limited defensive responsibilities mean the forward usually scores more goals on their team's behalf than any other player.
Modern team formations generally include one to three front players; for example, common 4-2-3-1 formation including one forward. Unconventional formations may include more than three forward, or none at all.

Center-forward
The traditional role of the center forward is to score most of the goals on the team's behalf. Players can also be used to win long balls or receive feedback and retain possession of the ball with their backs to the goal as teammates go forward, to provide depth to their team or assist team scores by feeding ('through ball' into the box); the last variation usually requires faster speed and good movement. Most of the modern forward players operate in front of a second striker or central attacking midfielder, and do most of the ball handling out of the box. The current middle-forward role can sometimes be interchanged with the role of an attacking midfielder, especially in a 4-3-1-2 or 4-1-2-1-2 formation. The term "target man" is often used to describe certain types of strikers whose primary role is to win high balls in the air and create opportunities for other members of the team (not necessarily scoring many goals themselves). These players are usually tall and strong physically, who are adept at leading the ball. The center-forward term is taken from an early soccer formation where there are five forward players: two outside the front, two inside the front, and one center forward.
When the numbers were introduced in the 1933 English FA Cup final, one of the two midfielders that day wore the number nine - Dixie Dean Everton is a strong and powerful striker who has scored the most goalscoring record in a season in English football. during the 1927-28 season. The number will then become synonymous with the middle-forward position (only used that day because one team is numbered 1-11 while the other is numbered 12-22).

Striker
The role of a striker is somewhat different from that of a traditional midfielder, although the terms the center forward and the striker are used interchangeably, as both play further on the pitch than the other players, while the tall, heavy and technical players, such as Zlatan Ibrahimovi?, Have matching qualities for both positions. Like the center forward, the traditional role of a striker is to score; Therefore the striker is known for their ability to release defenders and run into space through the blind side of the defender and to receive the ball in a good scoring position, as typed by Ronaldo. They are usually fast players with good ball control and dribbling ability. The more nimble striker like Michael Owen has an advantage over a higher defender because of his short blast speed. Good strikers should be able to shoot confidently on one foot, have great strength and accuracy, and have the ability to connect with teammates and pass the ball under pressure in breakaway situations. While many strikers are also wearing the number 9 shirts, this position is also associated with the number 10, which is often used by more creative front players such as Pela ©, and sometimes with numbers 7 and 11, often associated with wingers.
Second striker
Deep depths have a long history in the game, but the terminology to describe their playing activities has varied over the years. Initially, such players are termed forward, creative, or forward. Recently, two more variations of this type of old player have been developed: the second, or the shadow, or support, or an additional striker and, in what is actually a different position for himself, the number 10, exemplified by Diego Maradona , who is often described as a attacking midfielder or playmaker.
The second striker's position is a loosely defined description and most often misinterpreted as a player placed somewhere between the incoming strikers, whether he is "target-man" or more of "hunter", and Number 10 or attacking midfielders, while may show some of the characteristics of both. In fact, the term coined, "nine and a half", is an attempt to be standard in positioning. Conceivably, Number 10 can alternate as a second striker as long as he is also a prolific goalscorer; otherwise, advanced mobile phones with good technical capabilities (dribbling and ball control capabilities) and link games, which can print and create opportunities for less versatile middle attackers, are more suitable. Second proponents or supporters are not likely to engage in orchestration attacks like Number 10, nor do they bring many other players to play, as they do not share the burden of responsibility, functioning predominantly as aid providers. In Italy, this role is known as "rifinitore" or "seconda punta", while in Brazil, it is known as "segundo atacante" or "ponta-de-lan̮'̤a".
Inside the front
The inner inward position was popularly used in the late nineteenth and first half of the twentieth century. The inside of the forward will support the center forward, running and making room in the opponent's defense, and, as the passing game progresses, support it with the baits. This role is generally analogous to the position of the "hole" or second striker in modern games, although here are two such players, known as in the right b> and inside the left .
At the beginning of 2-3-5 the front-to-front formation will flank the center-forward on both sides. With the advent of the "WM" formation, the inner forward inside is brought back to become an attacking midfielder, supplying the ball to the front-center and two striking outwards - known as outside the right and outside the left .
In modern games, inside the front has been pushed forward to be an out-and-out attacker (in a 4-3-3 formation) or one has been diverted back to midfield and the other up front (at 4-4-2). Many teams, however, still use one of their strikers in a drawn role as forward support for the main striker, in a role that is broadly similar to the inside forward.
Outside
An outside forward acts as a forward on the right or left wing - as outside the right or outside the left , usually as part of 2 - 3-5 formations or one of its variants. Since football tactics have been widely developed, and the winger has retreated to become a midfielder, his terminology has changed and "coming forward" has become a historical term. Many commentators and football analysts still refer to the wing's position as "beyond the right" and "outside the left".
Outwardly advanced responsibilities include but are not limited to:
- Print: their first option should be shooting, while their second option should look for other ways to create goal chances for the team.
- Through: when they ran into an unlikely shooting corner, they had to find a way to pass the ball into the middle of the area of ââthe penalty box that allowed the front-forward to finish the job.
Because of this responsibility some of the most important attributes include:
- Carrying well and avoiding defenders
- Speed ââas the need to generate effective counterattack
Winger
A winger is an attacking player placed in a wide position near the touchlines. They can be classed forward, considering their origin as the old "out-front" position, and continue to be termed like that in most of the world, especially in Latin and Dutch football culture. However, in English matches (where the 4-4-2 formation and variants are most commonly used) they are usually counted as part of the midfield.
It is the winger's job to defeat the opposing defenders, providing feedback or cross from wide positions and, to a lesser extent, to defeat defenders and score from close range. They are usually some of the fastest players on the team and usually have good dribbling skills as well. In the use of Dutch, Spanish and Portuguese, the wing defense's task is usually limited to pressing the opponent's defender when they have the ball. Otherwise, the winger will get closer to the midfield to make himself available, if his team win back the ball.
In the style of English and other Northern European football, the central midfielder is expected to trace back to his own corner if his wing defender needs help, as well as to trace his markers, and slip into midfield when the midfielders try to suppress the opposition to the ball, and especially those like JoaquÃÆ'n (winger/wide midfielder), Cristiano Ronaldo (winger/striker) or Ryan Giggs and John Barnes (winger/midfielder) who have no physical attributes of the rear wing or players a more orthodox midfield. As these players get older and lose their natural speed, they are often deployed as Number 10 between the midfield and the front lines, where their ball controls and better readings of the game in the final third can serve to increase their team's attacking options in space narrow. An example is the use of Internazionale veteran LuÃÆ's Figo behind one or two other attackers, as a second striker or attacking midfielder.
In recent years there has been a tendency to play the inverted wingers - those who are placed on the 'wrong' side of the pitch, to allow them to cut inside and shoot their stronger legs and sometimes give swinging passes. This tactic was used by Frank Rijkaard, who when in Barcelona, ââmoved Lionel Messi from the left wing to the right wing, initially against the player's wishes, allowing him to cut into the middle and shoot or cross with his left foot.
False 9
The fake 9, in some ways similar to the role of the attacking midfielder/playmaker more advanced, is an independent single striker or center-forward, who falls deep into the midfield. The purpose of this is that it creates a problem to oppose a central defender who can follow false 9, leaving space behind them for a midfielder who moves back and forth, forward or wing to exploit, or leave false 9 to have time and space to guide ball or choose pass.
The term comes from traditional forward-to-nine (nine) numbers, and the fact that usually a central attacker is usually near the defensive line until they get a chance to move past them toward the goal.
The key attribute for false 9 is similar to the attribute of a deep striker; dribbling ability to take advantage of space between lines, good short passing ability to connect with midfield and vision to play through teammates make running from the inside to the goal.
The first fake 9th World Cup was Juan Peregrino Anselmo in Uruguay's national team, although he could not play a game against Argentina in the 1930 World Cup due to injury. Matthias Sindelar was false 9 of Wunderteam, the Austrian national team, in 1934. A fake 9 was also used by Hungary during the early 1950s, with striker NÃÆ'ándor Hidegkuti acting in the role.
Roma under manager Luciano Spalletti used Francesco Totti, nominally an attacking midfielder or trequartista, up front in an innovative "4-6-0" formation; it meets 11 successive wins.
Arsenal under Arsene Wenger utilizing Robin van Persie as a fake 9, often partnering with Theo Walcott who will move into the box of the wing, in a fake 4-2-3-1.
At Euro 2012, Spanish manager Vicente del Bosque, though sometimes using a typical striker at Fernando Torres, used 9 fakes at Cesc FÃÆ' bregas in several games, including the final. By the end of 2012, False 9 has become "mainstream" with many clubs using the system version. Lionel Messi of Barcelona has been a false 9 positions exponent for much success in recent years, first under coach Pep Guardiola, then under Tito Vilanova and then under Ernesto Valverde
One approach to stopping false 9s was creating congestion in midfield by bringing some players back into a more defensive role in an effort to deny them the space needed to make the drama, especially in José Mourinho's "parking bus" strategy.
Team and combination of strikes
The strike team is two or more strikes that work together. The history of football has been filled with many effective combinations. The three-man team often operates in a "triangle", giving many attacking options. The four-person package expands the options even more.
The striker must also be flexible, and can switch the role on the spot, between the first ( advanced penetrator position ), the second ( deep maneuvers ) and the third ( support and expansion, eg wing ) of the attacker's role.
Another example is the Total Football played by the Dutch team in the 1970s, in which their players' ability, and especially Johan Cruyff, to switch positions enabled a flexible attacking approach that the opposition team found difficult to mark effectively.
