Football
Some people think football is a matter of life and death.

Hello, my name is Shriyans Mohapatra and today I am going to be telling you about the different positions of each member of a team and how do they collaborate on the field.
But what is Football?
football or soccer is a team sport played with a spherical ball between two teams of 11 players. It is played by approximately 250 million players in over 200 countries and dependencies, making it the world's most popular sport.
So, let us get started!
Firstly, let us talk about the goalkeeper(gk).
The goalkeeper, often shortened to keeper or goalie, is one of the major positions of association football. It is the most specialised position in the sport. The goalkeeper's primary role is to prevent the opposing team from scoring.
Now let us talk about the defender
In the sport of association football, a defender is an outfield player whose primary roles are to stop attacks during the game and prevent the opposing team from scoring goals.
Centre backs are usually in pairs, with 2 full backs to their left and right, but can come in threes with no full-backs.
There are four types of defenders: centre-back, sweeper, full-back, and wing-back. The centre-back and full-back positions are essential in most modern formations. The sweeper and wing-back roles are more specialized for certain formations.
Is not all these info interesting?
So, let's continue!
Midfielder
Midfielders are generally positioned on the field between their team's defenders and forwards. Some midfielders play a disciplined defensive role, breaking up attacks, and are otherwise known as defensive midfielders. Others blur the boundaries, being more mobile and efficient in passing they are commonly referred to as deep-lying midfielders, play-makers, box-to-box, or holding midfielders. The number of midfielders on a team and their assigned roles depends on the team's formation; the collective group of these players on the field is sometimes referred to as the midfield.
Attacker
Forwards are the players on an associationfootball team who play nearest to the opposing team's goal, and are therefore most responsible for scoring goals.
Their advanced position and limited defensive responsibilities mean forwards normally score more goals on behalf of their team than other players.
Modern teamformations generallyinclude one to three forwards; for example, the common 4–2–3–1 formation includes one forward. Unconventional formations may include more than three forwards or none.
