Back

Who is a back in football?

What functions does a back perform on a ball?

How does a back help a team in an attack?

A back is a quarterback player who plays on the defensive of their team.

The main goal of the defender is to secure their goal as much as possible, guarding the opponent’s attackers. For a back, growth and strength are often important parameters, since they have to enter the fight on the second floor and conduct many power combats. At the same time, the defender must act carefully, because a violation in their own penalty threatens with a violation.

The defender sometimes engages in creative activity, performing long forward casts. Some very advanced backs attack with their team, and then quickly return if necessary. Few people actually use this approach, because it requires a huge amount of physical strength and can adversely affect the defensive abilities of the player.

Sometimes the defenders join the attacks of their team. Most often this happens at set pieces, such as penalty and corner. Often, it’s on these standards that the defenders score their few goals, because in the game as a whole they are rarely in the penalty box of an opponent.
