According to different tactics, it is usually 3 to 5 people, which can be subdivided into the following types:
• Back waist

Also called a winger. Mainly attacking the sides, because of the position of the action, some people will think that the winger is part of the midfield. Wing forwards often need to get rid of the opponent's wingback and pass to teammates, so speed, dribbling skills, and passing ability are very important.
There are many well-known figures in the wing, such as Ronaldo, Neymar, South Korean captain Son Heung-min, and Beckham, the spokesperson of the World Football Championship, who was also a well-known wing.
What are the squads of the World Football Team?
Whether it is the results of the world football matches or the prediction analysis of the world football before the game, many times you will see a series of numbers written on the team's formation, which can be called the football formation. The numbers must be counted from the defenders. For example, the common "4-3-3 formation" refers to "4 defenders-3 midfielders-3 forwards"; there are also "4-4-1-1 formation". "Formula" refers to "4 defenders - 4 midfielders - 1 forward - 1 forward", and the forwards in this situation will not stand in parallel rows.
The above is the introduction of football positions. Although each position has its position or task, it will still be slightly adjusted according to the coach's instructions during the game, and there is no absolute basis.
