@coach_7777: There are exactly two kinds of striker — and most teams end up signing the wrong one. The target man takes the ball with his back to goal, holds it, and turns a long ball into a spell of possession. The runner does not want to hold anything: he wants to be behind the line. And just by setting off he pushes the whole defence twenty metres backwards. The difference is not height and it is not pace. It is direction. And which kind fits is not decided by the striker — it is decided by the opposition back line. #football #Soccer #tactics #striker #coaching #footballtactics
