In general, we watch soccer matches and we don’t know exactly what role each player has or in what positions he or she performs best. This is why in today’s article we will study the different soccer positions in the USA.

What are the soccer positions?

There are different positions in football depending on the role that players must play in the field and each of them has specific functions.

Among them is the Goalkeeper, the Defenders, the Midfielders and the strikers.

Next we will see what is the role of each one:

What is Goalie or goalkeeper?

The goalie is in charge of preventing the opposing team from scoring goals on their court, that is, not scoring.

Among the different positions in football this is the most delayed, in addition it is very particular because it is the only one that can use both hands.

However, such faculty is only allowed within your area. In current football, the goalkeeper has acquired a more significant role, since not only saves goals, but also with his serve can be the starting point of a great play.

Goalie Qualities

It is essential that the goalkeeper has certain qualities, such as having a voice of command and knowing how to communicate frequently with the players of his team. Goalies should be flexible, good jumpers, strong hands and ability to read the game.

Famous Goalies

Some of the most famous goalies include Hope Solo, Tim Howard, David de Gea (Manchester United)

Defense soccer position

Defenses There are four types of defense occupying positions in football: center back, full back, libero or free.

Center back: is who plays in the center of the rear, who is in charge of the defensive area. The player who occupies this position must be characterized by having tactical intelligence, being strong, leading, tall and with air dominance.

Full back: the player with this role occupies the band in the defensive zone. In general, this position is granted to players with sufficient strength and high speed, as their duty is also to support the team offensively. Their role in modern football is based on providing breadth to the field, with both offensive and defensive responsibility.

Wing Back: within the positions in football the lane’s function is similar to that of the side, however the lane is characterized by playing a little more forward and not having any teammate ahead; aspect that differentiates it from the side.

At present, it is the football position that has returned to the game after a good time without being used. This type of defense can be seen in defenses of 5 or 3 centrals.

Sweeper: is the player who occupies a more backward position than the centrals. The main task is to provide coverage in case any member of the defense fails in his mark. In today’s football, it is a position that is not used, so much so that it is unlikely to see it.

Midfielders positions

The midfielders are made up of 5 players, who occupy the following positions in football:

Defensive or holding mid: is who occupies the central position of the spinal cord. His role is fundamental in terms of granting balance to the team, not only in attack but also in defense.

One of its objectives in the game is to make coverage from time to time to the centrals and the rest of midfielders. It also has the function of being of constant help for the maintenance of possession in attack.

The player must be characterized by having commitment, passing ability and tactical intelligence.

Center Mid: plays in a position more advanced than the pivot. However, it tends to play with two interiors crossing the pivot.

The use of this position is when it is intended to concentrate the largest number of midfielders. Whoever occupies this position must have an enormous capacity for association, be creative and with optimal driving that allows him to overcome the rivals.

Attacking Mid: the player plays in the most advanced position of the spinal cord. He is also one of those who must be a participant in the creation and completion in the game.

The qualities of the player with this position are to have the ability to shoot and offense and be a specialist in the last pass.

Winger: It is who occupies a position attached to the band of the spinal cord. They play and create attacks along the sideline.

His role in a game is to give breadth to the field, doing everything possible to overflow the defense to center the ball or take the last pass. The player with this position must be fast, good dribbling and hitting the ball.

Striker positions in soccer

In this group of football positions are: the end, the second striker and the center striker.

Right or Left Wing: its role is similar to the steering wheel, but with more offensive responsibilities.

The player with this position must be fast and have the ability to make centers and passes for the shot of his teammates.

Second striker: the functions of the second striker combine those of the center striker, next to the mid tip. The player, almost always, must be agile, have a great ability to move and with a good shot.

Center Forward: of the soccer positions, this is the one that aims to score goals. A player with this position is the most advanced of all team members.

Depending on the style of play, the player with that position can either have good physical conditions and be static, or be dynamic and skilled. They have the ability to play and create attacks on their own.
