Best Answer

They try to score goals. They also are not relied on to play defense.

>> They play a very active role in a team's attack and usually score or assist. They make runs to receive passes and bypass the defence.

In defense, they put pressure on the defender or goalkeeper with the ball, position themselves to stop those defenders participating in the attack. They basically want the opposing team to have to play the ball out wide.
