Forwards
The job of the forward is not merely to head for goal every time he receives the ball. He must also make runs towards his own goal and support the midfield rather than simply rush forward. This can best be observed by watching top level games, where forwards are often playing with their back turned to the enemy goal. Whenever a team is playing with two forwards, they must both move in conjunction. If the ball is on the left flank for example, they must shift towards it so that one of them is in the center and the other near the sideline. By keeping the distance between each other constant, forwards can work the ball effectively while pulling apart the enemy defense. Since forwards usually work under a lot of enemy pressure, they need pace and quick ball handling skills.
