centre-forwards
Lead offensive players
Centre-forwards are the primary attacking players in football (soccer), positioned centrally near the opponent's goal.
The role emphasizes scoring—holding up play, winning aerial duels, and converting chances.
The manager deployed two centre-forwards to overwhelm the defence.
