The goalkeeper stay near of the goal line, penalty spot, six yard box and the own goal. The centre-backs generally stay on penalty area at your halfway-line. The full-backs and the wings stay near at touch line together with midfielders. The strikers stay near the penalty area's opponent. I've writed all right ?
