Soccer : The Role Of Each Member Of The Team
There are eleven players on each team in a soccer game.
One of these eleven is given the role of goalkeeper and they must try to stop the ball passing over their teams goal line. The goalkeeper is the only player who can use his hands to touch the ball, all the other players commit a foul if they do this. Aside from the goalkeeper, a soccer team consists of defenders, midfielders and strikers.
The defenders station themselves in front of their goal and, as the name suggests, protect and defend their goal and goalkeeper. The midfielders are the link between the defenders and the strikers. They operate in the middle of the park and conduct the pace and tempo of the game. They offer support to the defenders while supplying the service to the strikers. The strikers, who are also referred to as forwards, are given the tasking of scoring goals. They normally spend the whole game in the opposition’s half of the field.
