![]() ![]() There are also players who has the job of the “centre-back” (or called “central defenders”). They also help make it easier to punch and push the ball away. These gloves’ role is very important: providing better grip on the football ball and protecting their hands from hard shots and headers. They also usually wear the specialised gloves. The colours can be very different: yellow, grey, black, green, different shades of blue, etc. All goalkeepers must wear a different coloured kit. Positioning is an another very important job for goalkeepers and it is well known as one of the hardest to master as keeper. This person’s main job is to stop the other team’s players from scoring by catching, palming or/and punching the ball from shots, crosses and headers. Goalkeeper is the one most defensive position in a football game. In so-called “Total Football” tactics, the football players are defined only into one position. ![]() Such football players are known as “utility players”. There are, though, a few football players who can no problem play in a number of positions. The reason for this is that each of the positions requires having a particular set of skills as well as physical attributes so to be able to possess yourself as a professional goalkeeper, you have to be able to catch the football ball being kicked really hard and so being thrown with great force and to manage to do that you need years of practice as well as very good health and good physical conditions. Most of the football players will still play in a limited range of positions throughout their career. Nowadays these positions in football are not as rigidly defined as in sports such as, for example, “rugby” or the game of American football. The "half-back" term is no longer used since the early 1970s as well as "midfield", which was used in naming the positions that play all around the middle third as in “centre midfield” and “wide midfield”. As a result, many of these positions’ names have changed to reflect their duties in the modern game of football. With the evolution of football game and so it becoming more and more popular, both team and tactics formations have very much changed. For the forward line there were “outside-left” (also known as “left wing”), “inside-left”, “centre-forward”, “inside-right” and “outside-right” (some people call it “right wing”). In midfield there are “left-half”, “centre-half” and “right-half”. ![]() There were “full-backs” in defence, also known as the “left-back” and “right-back” separately. ![]() At the end of the 19th century, the so-called “2-3-5 formation” became very popular and so widely used and so these position names became more common and world widely known. The football players from both sides fill these positions of their sides of the field and they have to stick to them as least until the end of the game.Ī long time ago these formations were much more offensively aggressive, especially in the late 1800s. These ten mentioned players fill different defensive, midfield and attacking positions and these positions for each of them depend on their deployed formation. In football, each of the 11 team players covers a specific position on the football field and a team in general is made up of only one “goalkeeper” and ten other players known as “outfield” players. ![]()
