Thus, for example may exist midfielders rights, central (Containment) and left. The ten outfield players may be distributed in any combination: for example, there may be four defenders, four midfielders and two forwards, or three defenders, four midfielders and three forwards, and the number of players in each position determines the style of team play : more forwards and fewer defenders creates a more aggressive and offensive game, while the opposite will generate a slow and defensive game. Although players usually maintained for most of the time in one position, there are few restrictions on their movement in the field. The outline of the players on the pitch is called the team's formation, and this, along with the tactics, the coach's job.
