# Center Striker

You must work hard "off-ball". Work on sitting in space between their first and second lines (vertically), and the horizontal lines when up front to create confusion. This forces the opponent defenders to make choices. Create overloads on the wings. Sometimes move to the touchlines illogically just to create confusion and make your defender drop his match-up.&#x20;

It's your responsibility to shoot, it's also your responsibility to make good decisions about whether you can make a shot, or whether a pass or dribble to maintain possession would be a better choice. Bad Decisions and Impractical, Unrealistic play are what gets a Center Striker sent to the bench.

striker requires good responsiveness, good-decision making,

As defenders press forward you can nag them by moving between their assignments.

Work to support the center mid and wings when they have the ball.
