SOCCER STRIKER 

Soccer forwards play in the offensive half of the pitch. They often receive the most scoring opportunities. 

Forwards defend less than other positions. They apply pressure when the opposition’s defenders have the ball but usually stand and watch when the ball is in the defensive half of the field. 

Good forwards score goals and make defender’s jobs tough. Playing forward is incredible when you score consistently but is frustrating when you have a cold streak. In order for someone to be considered a good forward, one must have striker traits. A forward needs to have good shooting ability, ball control, physicality, speed and ability to strike the ball with your head from all sorts of positions. If a striker has these traits, he or she can score more goals and help their team win more games.
