"The forward position is no doubt both exciting and fascinating."

"Every player contributes to the overall result-even those players sitting on the on the substitute bench can contribute to the general spirit of their team."

"Soccer is a fascinating sport for a myriad reasons: it has changing speeds, dynamics in the variety of player positions, and a hint of unpredictability where a twist of fate can turn the game around.

"I believe it is incorrect to consider choosing between these two positions."

"We cannot truly say which position is more valuable: whether it is the defender or the striker, since they are both irreplaceable to the team and could not work effectively without each other."

"Defenders have to be ready to make a sliding tackle—alert and ready to
back up their teammates in the event of a mistake."

"However, there have been millions of soccer games where even the world's top-ranked strikers have failed to score a goal because they seldom had the ball in their possession."
