I will explain every position above.

1. Goalkeeper

Keeper's position is in front of goalpost and his fuction is to keep the goalpost to avoid the goal happens. Keeper can use his hand to catch the ball but it's just allowed inside the box.

Keeper's position has some advantages rather than other players' position. For example, when an opponent player attacks to the goalpost, the keeper try to intercept and accidently, crashes the opponent player until the opponent fallen, usually keeper isn't considered to break the rules, even the opponent is considered to break the rules.

Goal kick

Goal kick happens while there are an opponent player's kick that going out of the court (exceeds the goal post's crossbar) and without interfere by the keeper players' team. So, goalkick happens, in front of goal post.

2. Center Back (CB)

Center Back is back player that in his position always defend the defender area and his function is to block attack that come from center area. A well center back is CB that can move agile, reflect faster and can do tackling well and clear.

3. Right Back and Left Back (RB and LB)

- Left Back is the back player that his function is to keep left side's position in the defender area.
-Right Back is the back player that his function is to keep right side's position in the defender area.
They can block opponents' attack that come from sides area and can keep to avoid opponent's crossing that can threat defender area.

4. Defender Midfield Forward (DMF)

DMF is center player but he more focused to help defense line. DMF's position rarely to move forward to the opponent's area. His function is to cut the opponent's tempts and give the ball to the other center players, like CMF, LMF, RMF, and then they'll give the assits to OMF and continue to striker.

5. Center Midfield Player (CMF)

CMF is the center player that function is to keep center area. His task is to give tempts (as playmaker) to left wing/right wing and striker. Occasionaly, CMF can help defense line if they're under attack, too. CMF is the one that has multifunction because he can move backward to make defense line stronger and can move forward to do some shots from penalty box.
This is the CMF position.

6. Left Midfield Forward and Right Midfield Forward (LMF and RMF)

They are winger halfback. LMF is in the left wing and RMF is in the right wing. They tend to attack and make panic the opponent's defense line, usually give crossing/ long tempt from their position to striker or OMF that can be continued and result goal.

If we want to play in this position, we must fluent about kick technique and accurate long tempt technique.

7. Offense Middle Forward (OMF)

This position reserves with DMF position. But the same thing, they're the same center player. If DMF helps back player, OMF helps striker.

8. Left Winger Forward and Right Winger Forward (LWF and RWF)

LWF is left winger striker and RWF is right winger striker. These positions just in the 4-3-3 pattern. Their function is to give assits to Second Striker (SS) or Center Forward (CF)

9. Second Striker (SS)

Like the name, he is as a second striker supporting Center Forward (CF). He collaborates with CF and does finishing touch well.

10. Center Forward (CF)

CF is a pure striker, his function is to do finishing touch/ shots to opponent's goal post. His tasks is very difficult because he's the main factor whether his team lost or win. He must struggle to get a ball with opponent. He also must find the right position to shot or find spaces in the opponent's defense line.

Collaborate between different position

In the soccer, collaboration is absolutely important. Back players must collaborate well with midfielder, also midfielders with strikers. Back players (RB, LB, CB) collaborate with midfielder while goalpost is being threatened. DMF sometimes can move backward and collaborate with back plers. Midfielder also can collaborate with striker, they give mature assists to striker, so striker can use it to make goal to the opponent's goal post.
