[3/31, 10:01 PM] First Bank Coach: Centre halfbacks(5/6)

This is a technical position Bcus, u must be up to 5:8 or 6 ft for this position. 

They as well defends the team, coordinates other members, give good coverage  for their GK,  they must be able to use their heights to score in corner kicks against  for their team,

[3/31, 10:07 PM] First Bank Coach: *CENTRRAL DEFENSE NO, 4*

He complements the effort of the  defenders to the attackers as a link.

[3/31, 10:12 PM] First Bank Coach: *MIDFIELDERS (WINGS)*

They must be defencive conscious aside from their primary role of attacking.

They must use their  quarlities(pace,skills) as an added advantage for the team
